GARRET W. McENERNEY GOVERNOR CULBERT L. OLSON Chairman, Board of Regents President, Board of Regents PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE The BLUE AND GOLD is a memory book. It is the sum- mation of the undergraduate life of a graduating class, in this volume the Class of 1942. It is a record of the class membership, of friends, acquaintances, and associates in the daily life of a great university. It is a reminder in words and graphic art of a period in the growth of each of you when mind, character, and per- sonality broadened, deepened, and took definite form. The BLUE AND GOLD is the diary of a community of young men and women, whose victories and defeats, whose problems and aspirations, reflect in spirit if not in letter the life of communities everywhere and at all times. It sets forth the determining fact in your lives that, over and above the courses taken, and individual benefits secured, an experience has been shared by the members of the Class of 1942 which will forever differ- entiate them from other men and women. For each of you the panorama of memories evoked by your BLUE AND GOLD in future years will be in detail unique. But transcending this individuality, I hope that there will be a mutual appreciation of the Class of 1942 ' s common experience, and a determination to make that shared experience a dynamic force for the better welfare of family, community, state, and nation, in whatever part of the world each of you may, event- ually, find his place. Notwithstanding the sacrifices which a person may have made in order to secure university training, he or she has not thereby paid for the values received. That training has been freely provided by other men and women, and their purpose has been twofold. They cherish the hope that university training will better enable the individual to meet the problems of his life and to find a satisfactory outlet for his talents, but they also expect that, through the combined effort of many individuals so trained, the welfare of all will he im- proved. Those who have made possible the University of fornia do not look for a monetary return, but they do feel entitled to a return through the public service con- tributions of its graduates. They do expect university men and women to set a higher standard of allegiance to the ideals of a democratic society. Of this expecta- tion above all others, I hope that the 1942 BLUE AND GOLD will be a reminder. The BLUE AND GOLD of the Class of 1942 appears in a momentous year in the tory of the human race. May it serve to kindle—if need be—and ever to renew within you a spirit, a purpose of devotion to this high duty and opportunity whose flame shall never falter through all the days of your lives. ROBERT G. SPROUL.
