The University of California at Berkeley Founded in 1869 Student population: 28,600 The purpose of this book is to make you see. Not to philosophize about the Berkeley experience , but to provide you with a collection of photography and commentary so that you can take a g ood look at your environment and come to your own conclusions. Look carefully at the photographs in this book. They focus on the campus and the people who share it: students, professors, entertainers, athletes, and campus employees. They show a university in its second century, long past the early years when a few Victorian buildings were scattered across grassy spaces, past the expantionist years when Cal was the biggest and most prestigious of a growing number of UC campuses. They show a university which has survived the political and social turmoil of the sixties and is rated one of the top schools in the country. At $212.50 per quarter, Cal is a bargain: its wealth of facilities a cyclotron, a cybernetics lab, a vast library system, a theatre complex and several museums— is matched by a large and diverse faculty. Berkeley is famous (or infamous) for its reputation and its size. The 1977 Blue and Gold shows the reality behind that reputation. 5
