So begins A History of the UCLA Daily Bruin, 1919-1955 by George Garrigues (1955), who has carefully researched the DB and its predecessors, the Cub Californian, The Grizzly and related branches of the UCLA news tree.

Dr. Garrigues has given Daily Bruin Alumni News permission to serialize this fun read. Garrigues presents the ideas, issues and identity that have made the DB the continuing focus of campus life for nearly 100 years. Everyone regardless of era will recognize the players' roles; their names change but their common theme is service.

We have exercised the editor's prerogative and omitted some hard-coded formatting within the chapters. If you're preparing a course on Comparative HTML Studies in the Post-Avuncular Era, (a) the original web version is linked below, and (b) there's no doubt a school that will pay you to teach it. We have also omitted some obsolete links that we cannot seem to trace (readers' assistance is appreciated).

In addition to the online text, we'll be providing a way to purchase the book in printed form and an opportunity for you to comment and to add your own vignettes about life at the DB. Stay tuned. -RC

There really is no right place to put a bibliography in this serialized format, so...
