President ROBERT GORDON SPROU1 Known to Cal students by his booming laugh and quick sense of humor, President SPROUL also achieved fame as a grand-dad. Presidents Message Vice-President CLAUDE B. HUTCHISON The man second in command is Vice-President HUTCHISON who also capably heads the College of Agriculture. THIS year we are celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of the discovery of gold in California. In 1849 there began a westward trek to the land of opportunity which, in the space of a golden century, has raised the state to a place of eminence in the nation and has produced a population of almost ten million people. The west- ward trek is still continuing. By 1965 it is estimated that our population will be not less than fifteen million and, in all probability, close to twenty million. The miracu- lous growth and development of the past century have changed California from a simple frontier territory to a complex industrial empire. Likewise, the University of California has undergone tremendous change. Since its origin as a land-grant college, created to provide appropriate training for industrial classes on the farm and in the workshop, it has evolved into a mighty institution offering guidance and inspiration in all the affairs of life. It exists not for personal service merely, but for the development of individual, state, and nation material as well as hu- man, economic as well as social. It is not unreasonable to expect well over 60,000 students in the statewide University after 1 965 and, if history repeats itself, we must be prepared in the next few years for both physical and philosophical adjust- ments. 12

Board of Regents To the Students of the University of California: AS we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Gold Rush, which brought to California her first great migration of new citizens, let us consider not only the progress which we have made in that comparatively brief period of time, but also the incalculable possibilities of the next 100 years. Who can say that we have reached a levelling-off stage in our development, or that the rising generation will have less opportunity than their parents and grandparents. The des- tiny of California is in the hands of her youth. Pay no heed to those who would say there is a limit to that destiny! The education you are re- ceiving is of vital importance in the development of a well-rounded life in our complex age and in fitting you for a place of leadership in the affairs of our State and Nation. Sincerely, GOVERNOR EARL WARREN The past year found national attention focused on California ' s popular governor. This true Cal rooter and alum found time in his busy schedule to occasionally attend games with his equally famous family. Governor. REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY LEFT TO RIGHT: James H.
