King Paul and Queen Frederika of the Helenes were greeted by enthusiastic Cal students who packed the Greek Theatre in one of the largest crowds of the year. UNIVERSITY MEETING UNIVERSITY MEETINGS began with a welcome to Dean Katherine Towle and included an an equally thrilling one honoring King Paul and Queen Frederika from. Greece when many students had their first glimple of royalty in person. The year wouldn ' t have been complete without the traditional Christmas program, either, and with the Senior Farewell, another wonderful year in the University ' s history was brought to a close. As June and graduation apprcached, the traditional Senior Meeting in Dwinelle Plaza marked the end of another school year and a fond farewell to the Class of ' 54. At the first meeting of the year, the University ' s new Dean of Women, Miss Towle was introduced to the student body and formally welcomed back to her Alma Mater. popoponE 4111111111 19

BECAUSE THE Berkeley and UCLA campuses are in themselves so large, there is a tend- ency to forget that the University actually extends over all of California from Davis in the north to Riverside in the South. The latter, though still a world-famous Citrus Experiment Station, has recently offered a liberal arts curriculum from its site at the foot of snow-capped mountains, where stu- dents can enjoy the advantages of an uncrowded personalized college. Boasting the newest campus, however, is Santa Bar- bara College which will move next year to the site of a former Marine Base on the Pacific Ocean. In the meantime, Cal ' s other six campuses were going ahead, also, with new buildings and improved equipment. Scripps Institute of Oceanography concen- trated on life under and about the sea while Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton took care of the sky, but the Medical Center in San Francisco and the agricultural campus at Davis stayed on land, training young men and women to cure the ills of man and beast alike. With all of their diversity, though, the eight campuses still managed to keep in touch with each other and even trek to UCLA for the All-U Safari.
