Two Presidents Visit

No, Presidents Washington and Lincoln did not visit UCLA (for obvious reasons). However, President Lyndon B. Johnson and Mexican President Adolfo Lopez Mateos did visit UCLA to celebrate "Charter Day," Feb. 21, 1964. Charter Day is the anniversary of the chartering of the University of California (Berkeley). The year 1964 was the 96th anniversary date. In the center picture, we see UC President Clark Kerr on the extreme right and UCLA Chancellor Franklin Murphy on the extreme left. (Although he is not identified in the picture, the fellow in the center looking up towards the sky looks a lot like Governor Pat Brown.)
