UC History: Ansel Adams Photos

A report in the San Francisco Chronicle today indicates that in 1964, UC President Clark Kerr hired famed photographer Ansel Adams to take pictures of the UC system.  The photos came out in a picture book later which has not been reprinted until now when copies were made for incoming UC-Berkeley freshmen.

Only a few photos are reproduced in the Chronicle such as the one on the right of a class for veterinarians at UC-Davis.  It's nice that Adams gave us the horse's head rather than the reverse.
