Almost a legend is President ROBERT GORDON SPROUL, beloved host of the University. Alumni, faculty, and stu- dents remember how he always found time to stick around for ALL HAIL. His humorous quips and witty introduc- tions won him thousands of admirers. PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE IN the annual BLUE AN D GOLD, the President is given an opportunity to write a postscript to his Commencement Day words of farewell and parting advice. The privilege carries with it this year responsibility for the prepara- tion of a permanent record suitable to the 80th anniversary of the founding of the University. The quality of the University ' s service to the State of California, and the lustre of its name throughout the world, reflect the breadth and soundness of the principles laid down with wisdom and foresight by the pioneers who provided the Constitution of the State a secure place for a single State University, free from the influence of sectarian religion and partisan politics. The reputation of a growing com- munity of distinguished scholars, and the gifts and endowments which have continually increased the University ' s material resources, have built upon these secure foundations. Above all, the University has been fortu- nate in the young men and women who year after year have come to join the family Calif ornian, and l ater to spread its influence to the far corners of the earth. The California State Constitution states the University of California shall constitute a public trust ... This might well be the motto of the Class of 1948, as it goes out from Commencement into that public whose ward the University is proud to be. ROBERT GORDON SPROUL 24
