That seems appropriate, and several other features are some kind of a memorial, starting with the big football stadium on the hill. Most of the buildings are named in memory of someone. <br />The scene you show was not available when I was there. Before the war, I rode my bicycle down what my mother called "Engineering Glade" because of the fast start available from a steep slope on the west side of Hearst Mining Circle. After the war, the US Navy gave the University some barracks buildings which were moved in and called "T-buildings." We said that the usual life of a temporary building on the campus was forty years. That would have left them there until 1990. I do not know when they left. <br />The main library was old when I was there. The annex (eastern building) was built while I was attending classes in the T-buildings.<br />HarryHarry Pottolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242228370300474063.post-37392591468023600802010-05-22T06:43:21.059+02:002010-05-22T06:43:21.059+02:00Dear Laura,

I sincerely hope to receive many more remarks from your peers!<br /><br />Dear Hans Christian,<br />If I understand it right, the petition involved the right to move from North Gate to South Gate; thus, the whole exercise was charmingly convoluted. But, the full truth can, of course, only be unveiled by the originatrix herself, which you can see by reading her comment.<br /><br />Dear Catherine,<br />Thank you kindly for helping Hans Christian to a better understanding of your intriguing and intelligent ventureEmil Emshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07815643585218883358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242228370300474063.post-62090934413677767772010-05-03T10:18:09.734+02:002010-05-03T10:18:09.734+02:00Hello again Emil,

A whopping success!<br /><br />The petition supported the immediate realization of the Sproul Dream Act, which moved my little table from the boring north end of campus to all the exciting table action at Sproul Plaza. Each signature allowed me to move one foot (very precisely measured). Emil here really showed a lot of support for my cause and signed it twice.<br /><br />But to be honest, Sproul wasn't all that much better than North Gate and I got a little homesick. <br /><br />It was great to meet you Emil! I wish you more fun adventures.<br /><br />Catherine<br /><br />CatherineAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13755960826002036806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242228370300474063.post-4121053996725838372010-04-26T21:13:40.172+02:002010-04-26T21:13:40.172+02:00Dear Emil,

Fortunately though, also as a retiree one can still study and I can ensure you that nowadays I read even more than three books in parallel.<br />It seems you forgot to mention what Catherine’s petition was about. I guess you were so charmed by her lovely smile that you would have agreed to sign just about anything.HChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12081045957428735389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242228370300474063.post-71388129882641470682010-04-25T20:16:53.386+02:002010-04-25T20:16:53.386+02:00Great job Emil!

Glad you're enjoying Berkeley. We hope to see you around again on Memorial Glade soon!!Lauranoreply@blogger.com
