Title: California Pelican April 1947
Description: Berkeley, CA: University of California, Berkeley, 1947. Paperback. B&W Illustrations; This magazine is in Very Good- condition and was issued without a dust jacket. The spine ends and corners of the book covers have some light bumping and rubbing and edge wear. There is a one inch tear to the bottom spine end. The text pages are clean and bright. "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. [5] 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. Still exhibiting the sense of humor that had led to the magazine’s founding more than a half-century before, Anthony fittingly arranged for a live pelican at the dedicatory ceremonies over which Berkeley Chancellor Clark Kerr presided. The 1960s were especially difficult times for the Pelican and marked the beginning of a long period of turmoil and changes of directions in the publication’s history. As the Free Speech Movement flourished at Berkeley in the mid-decade and students’ minds turned to more serious matters, there seemed little place for a humor magazine. After struggling for several years, the Old Girl finally succumbed, the October 1970 number being the last in the traditional humorous format. " (from Wikipedia). Very Good- .
