1.(C) The golden bear was not associated with the University of California when the Berkeley campus began. There was indeed a mock-up of a ship’s bridge built on Observatory Hill to train students in celestial navigation. "The Golden Bear" is one of Cal’s traditional spirit songs, and the golden bear is, of course, our spirit symbol.

2. (C) The verse goes, "If I had a little girl I’d dress her all in green, and send her down to Menlo to coach the Stanford team; but if I had a little boy I’d dress him all in blue, and he’d shout ‘To hell with Stanford!’ like his daddy used to do."

3. (B) The quote is Clark Kerr’s paraphrase of an article from a Beirut newspaper sent to him, as Berkeley chancellor, after the May 1956 panty raid. In fact, there were no confirmed reports or complaints of or from women students stripped of clothing or outside in anything skimpier than bathing suits.

4. (B) Willa Cather received an honorary degree at Charter Day in 1931. Cal later stopped issuing honorary degrees, so more recent literary celebrities, including Keillor, Angelou, and Updike, would not have been offered the honor.

5. (B) Colonel Katherine Towle ’20, M.A. ’25, for whom a campus residence hall was recently named, was the highest-ranking woman in the Marine Corps before returning to Berkeley as dean of women, then dean of students. UC President Barrows was a general in the National Guard but not in the regular military. Nimitz taught naval science at Cal and served as a Regent but was never a senior administrator.
