Our Review
Thin and scruffy-looking, dressed in brown cords and T-shirt, 17 years old, I entered Room 212 of Kerckhoff Hall for the first time. It was 1949. A boy named Chuck Sutton was sitting in the arch of a horseshoe-shaped desk and I told him I had seen an article in the paper saying that the UCLA Daily Bruin needed help on the staff.
Any writing experience?
I took journalism in high school.
He handed me a sheaf of papers.
See what you can do with this."

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
