Chancellor Seaborg Chancellor Glenn T. Seaborg, a prominent name in the field of nuclear chemistry and physics, has become well known and easily recognizable to the average UC student. Whether acting in the capacity of associate director of the Radiation Laboratory or as the popular Chancellor of the Berkeley campus, Glenn T. Seaborg is at home either in a lab coat or at a Regent ' s Banquet. The winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1951, the discoverer, with his research team, of eight new elements berkelium and californium, and the winner of the Enrico Fermi Award, Chancellor Seaborg is certainly one alumnus of which the University can be rightly proud. In keeping with the expansion of the University, Chancellor Seaborg has contributed to its growth, since, during his second year as Chancellor, a daughter was born to him and Mrs. Seaborg. We of the Blue and Gold congratulate you, Chancellor Seaborg, on the addition to your family and congratulate ourselves and the University for being fortunate enough to have suc h a renowned and interested Chancellor.

It is through dynamic personalities such as his that the University, while expanding in size, can still maintain a personal atmosphere and remain an integral unit meeting the needs of its many students.
