The Gadar Party, a South Asian nationalist group agitating for an independent India, was active in the Bay Area in the first two decades of the 20th century. In preparation for transferring the collection to the Bancroft Library, we are currently creating a finding aid for the collection and hope in the future to add to the collection and make larger portions of the material available in digitized form. The event, 'A Cal Family Tribute to Chancellor and Mrs. Tien' , is being produced by a broad-based coalition of alumni, students, faculty, and staff. It will showcase the excellence and diversity of Berkeley that are hallmarks of Chang-Lin Tien's tenure. The evening will feature performances by the Cal Band, campus orchestras, ensembles, vocal and dance groups, and personal reflections by people who have known and worked with the Tiens over the years.
Admission is free, but tickets are required.
A pre-event reception will be held as well. This gathering will be held in the lobbies on both the main floor and the mezzanine following the performances. Whether you are able to attend the event or not, you may still participate in the tribute by contributing a reminiscence for a 'Memory Book,' which will be bound for presentation at the tribute.
