HRSTIIIGS WITH an illustrous past, Hastings School of Law can now look forward to an even greater future. When a recent State Legislature passed an appropriation for a new building, greater accomplish- ments were made possible. Hastings Sixty-Five Club constitutes a faculty of experienced and renowned teachers due to the policy of hiring professors retired by schools having stringent sixty- five retiral laws. In addition to studying under such authorities. Hastings stu- dents are afforded practical experience by the Legal Aid Clinic of San Francisco. The school has the largest enrollment of any western law school. FII1E ARTS FINE Arts reflects the spirit of San Fran- cisco in attracting people from all over the globe. The register includes men and women from Europe, the Near East, the Far East and the Americas from Chile to Alaska. This well equipped cultural cen- ter is built into a wooded slope of Rus- sian Hill to form twelve levels separated by patios and surrounded by spacious grounds. Established in 1874, the school is one of the older art centers in the nation and is the oldest in the West. Throughout its development it has kept pace with the contemporary interests, Today its courses are designed to en- courage individual insight into present conditions of art activity.

DRUIS RATED as one of the top agricultural col- leges in the United States. Davis campus is composed of some of the finest in classrooms, laboratories, and buildings. Characteristic of the latter are the two million dollar Plant and Soils building, and multi-million dollar Veter- inary Science building. Dating from the ear- liest days of the University, Davis was known at its inception as the University farm. The agrarian spirit is still the predominant factor in student and academic life. Davis campus still maintains the honor system and has tra- ditions of active, and at times violent, partici- pation in student government, unequaled elsewhere. RIUERSIDE THE Riverside campus at the base of Bon Springs Mountains has been the location of the Citrus Experiment Station and a part of the Agricultural Experiment Station adminis- tered by the College of Agriculture at Cal. At the present time it is strictly a research institution open only to graduate students who have satisfied all course requirements for their doctorate and have left for completion only their research problems. Since 1948 the campus has been looking forward to the establishment of a College of Liberal Arts and a position as an integral part of the Uni- versity educational system. It was proposed to open the University of Riverside in the fall of 1957.

LICK A GIFT of James Lick, pioneer California businessman and landholder, Lick Observa- tory on Mount Hamilton, California, has been a leader in its field since 1888. Its fa- cilities are used for astronomical research by graduate students and scientists from universities throughout the world. When the observatory was built it fulfilled Lick’s provision that it should contain the most powerful telescope in the world. During intervening years larger and more powerful telescopes have been built at other obser- vatories. By legislative action on a bill signed by Governor Warren on March 13. 1946, Lick will again resume its place as one of the best equipped observatories in the world. SCRIPPS THE Scripps Institution of Oceanography at La Jolla is unique among the campuses of the University. In research and educa- tion they are concerned solely with the oceans—their physics, geology, chemistry, and biology. The one hundred and seventy- seven acre campus looks, to the passerby, like a small collection of buildings hanging out over the water. There are three major buildings, many smaller ones, and a small ship in which the many activities of the campus are carried on. About forty gradu- ate students are currently enrolled at the Institution, where they are working toward advance degrees in oceanography.
