SITE OF THE FUTURE UNIVERSITY SEEN FROM THE AIR OUR NEW CAMPUS By Regent Edward A. Dickson IN THE slopes of the hills of Berkeley sixty-eight years ago, a little group of devoted men stood at the base of a large boulder and there dedicated a campus to the purposes of university education. All about was a vast vacancy, and the boulder was all there was to represent the institution of higher learning which was to grow to greatness there. That boulder, which has become known as Founders ' Rock, will forever mark the spot where the University of California had its birth. The president of the college, standing upon the rock, to quote from the early records of that memor- able occasion, offered prayer to God, imploring His favor upon the college which we propose to build here, asking that it ever remain a seat of Christian learning, a blessing to the youth of the state and a center of usefulness in all this part of the world. Today, out on the slopes of the hills of Beverly, another giant boulder stands amid a vast vacancy to mark that same University ' s campus in the southland. Here, as at Berkeley, will grow to greatness an insti ' tution dedicated to the sacred cause of education. Here, as at Berkeley, a great University will rise about this Founders Rock, and will prove a blessing to the youth of the state, and a center of usefulness in all this part of the world. It is yet too early to offer more than a very vague outline of what the Regents hope to accomplish on the new campus. Development will be sure, rather than swift. We are building, not for a day, but for all time. Yet, unless unforeseen obst acles prevent, we shall be well on our way with the building program before another twelve months have rolled around. We have here a campus that for picturesque effect has no superior anywhere. Nature has made to order this spacious campus. It remains for man — the architects and the builders — to complete the picture, and to produce a plant that will rank with the finest m the country. Then, with great educators continuing to come here from other institutions, we shall have a University whose fame for learning, for culture and for research, will be spread throughout the civilized world. According to the architect ' s present plan, the main entrance to the University will be on the east side of the campus, midway between Beverly and Wilshire boulevards. A broad roadway will skirt the entire f30l
