President SPROUL and Chancellor KERR along with their wives greet the new students in a flower-filled reception room of the Hearst Gym. Senior hosts give frosh gals their approval. 1 PRESIDENT ' S RECEPTION Two DANCE bands, super refreshments and a well-organized group of hosts and hostesses combined in the Hearst Gymnasium to make the President ' s Reception a huge success, as was evidenced by the large number of unexpected guests. Highlighted by the opportunity to meet President and Mrs. Sproul along with Chancel- lor and Mrs. Kerr, the evening promised a dance with a lovely senior gal for every enter- ing man, and handsome big-men-on-campus for the coeds. Not until midnight, with community singing as the finale, did the last ones drift homeward. Between the dancing hosts, hostesses and guests, Hearst Gym was filled to capacity. I7

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION THE HIGHLIGHT of the year for the Alumni Association was moving into the newly com- pleted Alumni House, the funds for which were donated by more than 7,000 alumni throughout the world. The building provides a large lounge for visiting alumni, conference rooms, and of course, the offices of the Association. In addi- tion the Association has continued to serve the University and Alumni in many ways, through scholarships, many of which are given each year, and through the summer camp, the Lair of the Bear, in Pinecrest, that is filled to capac- ity every year. Also, the California Monthly is published by the Association, and each year a state-wide alumni conference is held. Administrative duties were capable handled by STANLEY E. McCAFFREY, Executive Manager, and JOHN P. SYMES, President.

Leading off the ceremony was the tradi- tional academic procession which wound a bright ribbon of color through the campus, ending in the Greek Theatre for the address by Chief Justice Earl Warren.
