The Concert today will be an Organ Recital featuring students of George Emblom performing works of several musical periods.

Today we'll tour the Arts District and some of the Civic Center. Other tours in conjunction with the Campus Concerts are backgrounded below:

Berryman Station was originally between Rose and Vine Sts. After the RR extended its line from Downtown in 1878, the nearby blocks developed into a commercial and residential district. The eight blocks located between Rose and Cedar from Arch to Shattuck were subdivided in 1873 and sold for $300 to $400 each for a 60' by 134' lot.
Our architectural heritage walk will focus on the heritage architecture as we make our way up to the Campus.
Distance will be about four miles round trip up the hill.

*There is limited attendance for this event. Don't RSVP unless you are sure you can make it, if you No-show you'll be needlessly taking someone's spot who is on the Waitlist.
(Don't be a no-show.) It's good to give out name tags. I fill out the name 24 hrs. before the meeting time. This also gives me a way to take attendance. Name tags that are not picked up, are recorded as no-shows. If you get too many no-shows recorded in your personal Meet-up profile you'll be cancelled from this Meetup.
(To cancel your RSVP [must be at least 24hrs in advance or it is a no-show] look for the, "Edit Attendance" tab at the bottom right hand corner of a notebook screen screen, left bottom for a phone.)
If driving meet on the sidewalk at the intersection of Yolo Ave. & Sutter St. Berkeley, opposite 2019 Yolo Ave

Sometimes also we do an Architectural Walking Tour of the campus featuring the Beaus Arts period of John Gayland Howard the campus architect for the establishment of the 1900 grand esplanade plan for the campus-but now alongside the harmoniously traditional and strikingly contemporary buildings of today.
Distance will be about four miles, total for the day over mostly level ground with the usually walk up the hill from Oxford.
