The '05 Blue and Gold editors an
nounced to-day that the book upon
which they have labored for two years
will be issued from the bookstores on
Wednesday. The event will be awaited
with particular enthusiasm, as the
editor, Eugene r. Hallett, and the busi-
ness manager, Mervyn j. Samuels, have
been saving up for long time, and it
is said they have eclipsed anything
ever attempted by an American uni
versity.
This talk of the superiority of the
book may well come under the head of
advertising. and the book may not JUS
tify il all. but two things are certain
that ii is to cost more and contain more
than any of its predecessors. Its covers
inclose upward of 200 pages and about
1000 high-class half-tone engrayings.
The students must take the editors
word for il that it is the finest example
of the printers art that a printers
brain ever conceived
Aside from the considerations of size
and artistic excellence there is another
phase of the book that will interest the
college community TO an absorbing de-
gree. One hundred and fifty pages of
the annual have been devoted to what
is known as a Josh department.
Here Editor Hallett and his staff have
directed their shafts of ridicule at
many Of the most important and digni-
fed people Of the university. No one,
from President Wheeler down to the
humblest freshman, has escaped the
undergraduate sallies. This depart
ment contains many clever caricatures
OF those in high places.
ALL ARE GATHERED.
For the first time in the history of
the university the Affiliated Colleges
and the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art
have contributed literally TO the pages
Of the annual. Separate departments
have been set aside for the medical
college, pharmacy, college and the Cal
ifornia School of Design. and the work
in these pages ranks with some of the
best that has been done by the Berke-
ley people.
The. cover Of the book is done in a
rich blue leather with a panel of Cali
fornia poppies done in gold on the top
by Miss Florence Fisk of the Junior
class. One of the striking features of
the annual is found on the fly leaves,
where the thumb nail snapshots of the
400 members are printed in blue and
gold.

is accorded the honor of having the
cleverest Blue and Gold yet published
dedicated TO him. The following is the
simple predatory dedication:
ITO Professor Henry Morse Stephens
we dedicate this book-in no spirit of
mere formality."
This is the first time in five years
that editor and manager of the Blue
and Gold have succeeded in getting the
individual pictures of the sororities.
Hitherto pictures have never been en-
graved in such a. way as to do the
young ladies Justice This time Man
ager Samuels has met their demands
by engraving the pictures in the most
thorough way known to the art. Be
sides the individual pictures Of the
young ladies the book contains engrav-
ings of every fraternity man and every
member Of a house club in the univer-
sity.
EDITOR GIVES VIEWS.
In speaking of the book, Editor Hal
lett says;
we have tried to eliminate many of
the mean personal features that have
marked previous issues of the annual
We had a large staff helping US, but
the work was so divided that every
member was held responsible for a
certain portion of the work. The book
was divided into seventeen depart
]
We hope that it will meet with the ap-
proval Of the college community"

tion Of their time to the getting out Of
