Description: Berkeley, CA, Institute of Governmental Studies (IGS), 1994. . Paperback. . Unmarked text. Number Two in the Chapters in the History of the University of California series. 10 black-and-white illustrations. Notes. 50p. Measures 5.5x8.5 inches. Barth examines higher education in 19th-century California, drawing connections between the 1855 College of California (and its successor, the 1868 University of California) and the elements of design that evolved out of the early cemetery and park traditions. He stresses the character of the men of this "practical period," particularly their political, economic, and intellectual behavior. Acutely aware of the complex relationship between land and ideas, and dreams and practicality, Barth captures the ironies of their juxtaposition in early California.. . ISBN: 0877723567. Very Good
