State of California GOVERNOR ' S OFFICE SACRAMENTO December 13, 1928 To the Students of the University of California at Los Angeles: Through the pages of The Southern Campus, it is my privilege to greet you on the eve of your glorious new adventure of removal to the pcrmanen.t site of ivhat, in my estimation, is destined to be ' come one of the great educational institutions of the world. As an alumnus of our University 1 have always been thrilled by the story of the removal of the little College at Oakland to what then seemed the remote and uncultivated site at Berkeley. Yours is an exodus of similar nature, but as different in magnitude as the California of today is greater than the California of the pioneers. I understand that you are dedicating this volume to the spirit of achievement as exemplified by those who laid the foundation upon which our state noiv stands. This is a splendid thought, but equally significant is your recognition of the fact that in a sense you are also pioneers to the generations that will follow. You, already numbered by thousands, will constitute the pioneer classes of the Westwood Campus, just as your predecessors, only a few scores in number, pioneered in Berkeley sixty years ago. From those small beginnings has grown the marvelous University of which you are a part. ' What may we not hope for the University of the future, whose foundations you are now laying? Yours very sincerely, ' - t: : f 4 25
