Description: Berkeley, CA: University of California, Berkeley, 1948. Magazine. B&W Illustrations; This magazine is in Very Good condition and was issued without a dust jacket. The spine ends of the covers have some edge wears, nicking and one small tear to the bottom spine end. The covers have some light fading. The text pages are clean and bright. "According to Verne Stadtman's Centennial Record, the magazine was founded on April 16, 1903 by Anthony and an original staff of ten. [4] It eventually became sponsored by the Associated Students and by the 1960s was issued once a month during each school year. The Centennial Record lists its circulation as 7,000 copies per issue in 1965, making it the second largest publication on the campus at that time. The magazine was given the rare privilege of its own building on the UC Berkeley campus in 1957 after Earle C. Anthony donated money to the university to provide a home for the publication he had created. Although the structure beside Strawberry Creek is now occupied by the Graduate Student Assembly, the prominence of pelicans in architect Joseph Esherick’s design as well as Irene Rich’s larger-than-life pelican sculpture on the front lawn leave no doubt as to Anthony Hall’s original purpose."
