The splendid traditions of our State and Nation are rich and vigorous, forming a firm foundation for a sub- stantial present and a promising future. The back- ground of individual dignity and freedom which came West with the pioneers from the eastern sea- board, plus the wealth of culture derived from the Hispanic period of our past, combined to form a unique heritage for California. These things, in turn, have helped to establish the great traditions of the University of California in its countless contributions to the culture of our State and Nation. These are worthy of active and intense support, so that they may be passed on to those who will come to our great State University in the years ahead. GOODWIN J. KNIGHT Governor 9

• Chancellor CLARK KERR and President ROBERT GORDON SPROUL. PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE IT Is not strange that University men and women set great store by tradition, for it is tradition that inspires student, professor, and alumnus to join strongly in sup- port of the highest intellectual ideals of mankind. Through the centuries this golden thread of tradition has drawn together the many facets of university life and made of them a durable fabric of mutual under- standing and shared enthusiasm. How fortunate it is, therefore, that you whose book this is, share with your fellows on eight campuses the traditions of so great an alma mater as the State-wide University of California. CHANCELLOR ' S MESSAGE TRADITION WEARS a snowy beard; romance is always young. —(Whittier.) In our traditions we find dis- tilled the experiences of the past; in our romances the breathless expectations of the future. No secular insti- tution so well combines respect for past forms, past thoughts, past deeds with such vibrant enthusiasm for the new method, the new discovery, the new idea as does the great university—as does the University of Cali- fornia at Berkeley. Tradition and romance here go hand in hand. And so the BLUE AND GOLD for 1954 honors the old while presenting the new. 8
