...president lives with his wife, his mother and a fidgety Irish setter, in a twelve-room stone mansion overlooking the Berkeley campus. They do a lot of entertaining (a September house guest: Harvard's President James Bryant Conant), have occasionally fed a whole varsity team. All three of the Sproul children, two sons and a daughter, are Cal grads. So is sobersided brother Allan, who is president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York...

Hamilton, La Jolla and a citrus experiment station at Riverside. The last three are campuses only in the imaginative, California sense: they are mainly research centers. Not part of the University of California, and not state-owned: Stanford University (at Palo Alto), the University of Southern...
