  • This Recording of the University of California Band Highlights the Traditions and Spirit of the Campus, Some Stretching Back to the Birth of the University
    This recording of the University of California Band highlights the traditions and spirit of the campus, some stretching back to the birth of the University. These songs help to infuse new students every year with the California Spirit, passing on feelings of camaraderie, heart, and brotherhood to new sons and daughters of California. Whether the University hymns or the fight songs played from carillon in Sather Tower, being heard within the confines of California Memorial stadium or Haas Pavilion, these songs have stood the test of time as being parts of the University of California. We record these songs in the hopes that alumni, students, and those connected with the University of California can all enjoy them, and share them with their families. Thanks go to Roschelle Paul for her work in preserving the history of these songs during World War II, the History Committee of the California Alumni Association for their work on The Pride of California: A Cal Band Centennial Celebration in 1993, to the late Howdy Brownson (’48) of the California Men’s Octet, to Director Robert Calonico for his dedication and patience as the guardian to all bandsmen who marched for him, and to the different carriers of the California Spirit who pass their love of the University on to further generations of Californians through song and story. -Kiran N. Permaul, Class of 2014 Fight for California- Music by Earl Elleson McCoy 1906, Lyrics by Robert N. Fitch (’09) 1909, Arranged by Robert O.

Some of you are doing this through a membership with our Cal Aggie Alumni Association or UC Davis Parents Association, or by making a gift. Others are connected as parents of a UC Davis freshman or as faculty members who are teaching the next gen- eration of Aggie leaders. Bruce Edwards Sending you the print edition of UC Davis Magazine is our way of showing our gratitude. For other alumni and friends, we have converted the magazine to an electronic publication to better support our university’s efforts to be environmentally friendly and economically conscientious. The electronic version will also be available to everyone who receives the print edition. UC Davis Magazine is a highly regarded publication that has informed, entertained and inspired Aggie readers for more than 30 years. This issue is no exception. There are engaging stories that reinvigorate our Aggie Pride, among them: a tribute to the 100th Picnic Day, a uniquely UC Davis tradi- tion; and a feature on how Center for Watershed Sciences researchers help California better manage one of its most precious resources—water. Chuck Nichols If you know of alumni or friends who wish to continue to receive the print edition, please encourage them to contact us so they can find a way to recon- nect with UC Davis in a way that matches their needs and lifestyle.
