University of California

The University of California plate design is interesting for many reasons. The border presents a cyclorama of the Berkeley campus framing university buildings and vistas. The unusual border treatment sets the beauty of California architecture against a brilliant sky and is relieved by typically local trees and hills. A secondary border of poppies provides transition from the border to the center views.

Professor Eugen Neuhaus of the University art staff was consulted and generously offered to assign the creation of a plate design as a problem in his advanced art class. With this invaluable aid plus the suggestions of Michael Baltekal-Goodman '25, and the photographic skill of Mrs. G. Elwood Hoofer, was created a type of ceramic design at once strikingly distinctive and beautiful, and equally symbolic of the university environment.
