Second Chronicle Salutes UC Women Since 1870
|
UC's first women students—eight in number — entered as part of its second class in 1870. The second issue of the Chronicle of the University of California — 184 pages illustrated with 140 photographs and drawings, many never before published — presents stories of their successors and UC women faculty and staff, philanthropists, and faculty wives. It is subtitled "Ladies Blue and Gold."
|
The issue, edited by Janet Ruyle, includes articles on the early years of the University YWCA, the Prytanean honor society, poet Josephine Miles, suffragette May Cheney, teacher Ida Louise Jackson, architect Julia Morgan, the long-vanished Partheneia pageant, and North Gables, the "boarding house with a heart."
|
Contributors include history professor Robert Brentano, education professor emerita Geraldine Clifford, retired public information director Ray Colvig, retired University Archivist Jim Kantor, and human biodynamics professor emerita Roberta Park.
"Ladies Blue and Gold" is on sale at the ASUC bookstore and the Faculty Club for $15 plus tax.

Desiderata: Coffee, Tea, and Chocolate
Bancroft's collection on coffee and tea began with a gift of 81 titles from Joseph M. Bransten (of MJB Coffee) in 1972, followed by a Bransten endowment. Now known as the Joseph M. Bransten Coffee and Tea Collection, Bancroft continues to add material as opportunity permits. We also collect books on chocolate, with an emphasis on its early history in the Americas and Europe. We would welcome any of the following titles as a gift. Dealers are also welcome to quote these to us.
