C CHANCELLOR ' S MESSAGE An inscription on Si. Paul ' s Cathedral in Lotuktn. rcierring to Sir Christopher Wren. reads: SI MONUNIENTUM REQUIRIS CIRCUNISP1Lh. (If you seek his monument, look about you.) When we look about us on the Berkeley campus, only one of the eight campuses of the University of California, ROBERT GORDON SPROUL is evident in much that we see. During his twenty-five years as President these buildings rose: Administration. Alumni House, Cory Hall, Crocker Laboratory. Donner Laboratory, Dwindle Hall, Edwards Field, The Engineering Building and Laboratory, The Engineering Field Station at Richmond, Eshleman Hall, Fernwald Halls, Forestry, Home Economics. Law, Lewis Hall, Low Temperature Laboratory, Men ' s Gymnasium. Optometry, Stern Hall, University Press, Virus Laboratory, Warren Hall, annexes to Cowell Hospital, Hesse Hall, he Come Hall, the Library. and the Radiation buildings on the Hill—the the Cyclotron, the Synchrotron, Chemistry. Administration. Engineering, and others. That is an impressive list. averaging, on this one campus alone, more than a building a year, in spite of depression and wars. Still more significant are the people inside those buildings. In distinguished faculty members attracted to the campus during his quarter century, in students stirred by great teaching to follow knowledge like a sinking star beyond the utmost bound of human thought. in new knowledge gained through research, and all it promises for mankind—in these and in much more the name of ROBERT GORDON SPROUL is written large about us. Dedication To you. Robert Gordon Sproul, President of our University we dedicate this, the 1956 Bum AND GOLD. To you because of your many years of service and loyalty to the University. Busy as you have been you are still known by students for your earnest and untiring support of student rights and activities of every nature. You have upheld the traditions of a great University. We appreciate the privilege of studying and living a short part of our lives under your guidance. We will all long remember you, your family, your annual Reception for new undergraduates, which many of us have attended more than once, your 25th anniversary picnic, your song Old Bob Sproul and last but not least your hearty laugh. During the year you have been honored in many ways but we wis h to add to this list in a way that will be lasting. In the future, students will look back upon their years at Cal with its traditions and legends with a sense of longing and loyalty. You, although you may not always realize it, have contributed to this feeling. You represent the continuity of the generations of students that pass through the University. For all you have done — thank you. GOVERNOR ' S MESSAGE As Governor of the state of California, I ant pleased to have the opportunity to join in the tribute to Robert Gordon Sproul on his silver anniversary as President of the University. The University of California stands as a dynamic monument to the ingenuity and intelligence of the men and women who have guided the academic and extracurricular affairs of its thousands of students and alumni. For over twenty-five years, President Sproul has symbolized a positive cohesive force which binds the many colleges and far-flung campuses into a single mighty institution of advanced learning and scholarship. In a sense. he has become a living tradition in the long, glorious history of the school he came to as a student in 1909 and with which he has been associated almost constantly since. Robert Gordon Sproul has been an active leader not only in the field of education but also in numerous civic and cultural activities in add ' tion to his work with the University. It is altogether fitting that the life and work o this man should provide the theme for the 1956 edition of the BLUE Ago Cow. I know that this will stand high among the many honors which have been accorded him during his lifetime of service to humanity. REGENTS ' MESSAGE It was Robert Gordon Sprout ' s good fortune to have been privileged to serve under three able and distinguished Presidents of the University—Benjamin Ide Wheeler. David Prescott Barrows and William V. Campbell. From those great scholars, he learned the basic principles of University administration. One of the youngest men ever chosen as executive head of an American University. President Sproul, in his twenty-five years of service. has built well and has extended widely the fame and glory of the University of California. Those years represent a story of great devotion and untiring zeal on behalf, not only of our parent institution at Berkeley. but of every one of the eight campuses that are included in the University ' s educational empire. Happily. President Sproul recognized a primary principle—that a University is great and strong only as its Faculty is great and strong. Over the years he assembled about his academic table a truly notable group of scholars. Today the University of California has the largest number of Nobel Prize winners included in its faculty of any university in the country. It has the largest number of distinguished departments it maintains: the University of California today ranks second among all American universities. That, in brief, is the rich product of a quarter of a century of service of a great President.
