Protest Photo Archive of 1960s UC Berkeley Students
Photo archive of 11 original black and white silver gelatin photos. 3.25" x 4.5" inches Original vernacular photographs. February 1969. This archive of photos depicts Berkeley during the student uprisings of February 1969. The early months of 1969 were a very turbulent period at Berkeley. A student organization called the Third World Liberation Front a coalition of minority student groups with radical politics had been engaging in strikes and demonstrations throughout the 1968-69 school year. Their By February Governor Reagan had declared a "state of extreme emergency" in Berkeley allowing the Sheriff of Alameda County complete police jurisdiction over the campus. National Guardsman also seem to be deployed. Law enforcement can be seen patrolling the campus and gripping their batons menacingly in several of these photographs. Students are pictured congregating around the Student Union building at the entrance of the Berkeley campus. The Third World Liberation Front had declared a set of demands namely: "1. Establishment of a Third World College with four departments; 2. Minority persons be appointed to administrative faculty and staff positions at all levels in all campus units; 3. Additional demands included Admission financial aid and academic assistance for minority students; Work-study positions for minority students in minority communities and on high school campuses; 4. Minorities be allowed to control all minority-related programs on campus; 5. No disciplinary action against student strikers." By March 3 over 150 students were arrested and 36 were suspended. However five days later Chancellor Heyns and President Hitch conceded to most of the demands of the TWLF which included the establishment of the Department of Ethnic Studies. This photo archive chronicles this historic period of activism in fine detail. Overall in very good condition. unknown

Alciphron: or The Minute Philosopher. In Seven Dialogues. Containing an Apology for the Christian Religion against Those Who are Called Free-Thinkers
Dublin: Printed for G. Risk G. Ewing and W. Smith Booksellers in Dame-Street MDCCXXXII 1732. FIRST IRISH EDITION. 2 volumes in 1. 8vo 195 x 118 mms. pp. x 220; ii 245 246 blank engraved vignette on each title-page contemporary calf; lackk label front joint slightly cracked but a good to very good copy. The present book Alciphron was the longest work written by the great Irish philosopher George Berkeley 1685-1753 preeminent proponent of the philosophy of immaterialism who was also Bishop of Cloyne and Fellow of Trinity College Dublin. The first edition of Alciphron was published by Tonson in London in 1732 but this first Irish edition published by Risk in Dublin the same year is far more rare and has interest of its own: Berkeley being Irish obviously and the two editions Tonson's in London and Risk's in Dublin being in 1732 "nearly simultaneously released" according to Adam Grzelinski an expert on the circumstances of the book's publication see Grzelinski's "Alciphron; or the Minute Philosopher: Berkeley's Redefinition of Free-Thinking" in The Bloomsbury Companion to Berkeley ed. by Bertil Belfrage and Richard Brook Bloomsbury Academic 2016 p. 174. Readers familiar with the family background of George Berkeley will see the last name "Wolfe" written in ink atop the title-page and stop in their tracks. The Wolfe family appears prominently in the Berkeley family tree. Oxford DNB records that Berkeley was "born at or near Kilkenny on 12 March 1685. His father William Berkeley d. in or after 1734 who later held a military commission was a gentleman farmer descended from a Staffordshire family related to the earls of Berkeley; he owned the property of Dysart further down the River Nore near Thomastown where Berkeley grew up. Berkeley's mother a great-aunt of General James Wolfe has been tentatively identified as Elisabeth Southerne daughter of a Dublin brewer and on her mother's side a descendant of James Ussher
" It is thus likely that the ownership inscription in this copy of the first Irish edition of Alciphron defines the present copy as a family association copy of Berkeley's longest book. But which Wolfe inscribed the book The answer is nigh. My stock includes another book of philosophical content if decidedly more light-hearted in temperament titled Athenian Sport: or Two Thousand Paradoxes Merrily Argued To Amuse and Divert the Age: As a Paradox in Praise of a Paradox 1707 which has a variant of the Wolfe bookplate one with the family name "Wolfe de Forenaughts" engraved in this case just beneath the frame enclosing the trebled wolf-heads and the ownership inscription on the right-hand side at the top of the title-page is in this case longer: "Phillpott: Wolfe." The "P" is unusual being lollipop-shaped in its upper half and with a jack-boot upturn to the left in its lower half as we see with the "P" in the inscription in the present copy of Alciphron. Keynes 16. Jessop 121b. ESTC T86362. Howe's catalogue Franks Bequest has three Wolfe bookplates item nos. 32325 32326 and 32327 but none is the one in this copy of Alciphron 1732. On the "Wolfes of Forenaughts" claiming kinship with "Major-General James Wolfe the hero of Quebec" which as we've seen would also mean kinship with Bishop Berkeley see George Wolfe "The Wolfe Family of County Kildare" in the Journal of the Co. Kildare Archaeological Society and Surrounding Districts Vol. 3 Dublin 1902 pp. 361-367 most notably p. 364 and p. 367 the latter page illustrating the variant of the Wolfe bookplate with the family name engraved. � Dublin: Printed for G.

[BERKELEY RADIATION LABORATORY]. ALVAREZ, Luis; Segre, Emilio, et al.
Mimeographed Experimental Physics 290f Lectures.
Berkeley CA University of California at Berkeley c. 1950 . 14 mimeographed typescript lectures on 144 leaves rectos only; diagrams throughout the text some pencilled notes contents a little toned; brown pressboard binder housed in a custom brown cloth folding case later manuscript title to upper cover some sticker residue edges a little rubbed corners bumped very good condition.<br /> A rare set of mimeographed lecture notes from an experimental physics course connected with Berkeley's Radiation Laboratory with chapters by three Nobel Prize winners. Mimeographed lecture notes of this kind were made by students for themselves and their colleagues and exist in very small numbers. We have located only two auction records for this set the present one sold in 2018 and a copy at Christie's in 2002. <br /><br />Berkeley's '290' physics courses are 'graduate level courses that feature a weekly seminar on physics topics' 'many of which are open to the public' generally meaning the research community Berkeley website. The present lectures are all labelled '290f' what was then a course in experimental physics connected with the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory. Now known as the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory this research centre was established in 1931 by Ernest Lawrence and centred around his development of the cyclotron a new and more powerful type of particle accelerator for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize. The laboratory has remained a leader in physics research up to the present day and was responsible for numerous twentieth century breakthroughs including electronic enrichment of uranium for the Manhattan Project the discovery of the transuranic elements and the anti-proton and measurement of the cosmic microwave background radiation.<br /><br />Taking place around 1950 none of the reference sources listed in the text have publication dates past 1949 the present course begins with relatively basic concepts in electrical engineering — necessary for anyone doing hands-on experimental work at the Radiation Laboratory — and proceeds to linear accelerators the cyclotron and beta ray spectrographs. Of the fourteen lectures three were presented by Nobel Prize winners:<br /><br />Chapter 7 Ionization: Emilio Segré 1905-1989 discovered the antiproton and the elements technetium and astatine. An Italian Jew he was made stateless by the Mussolini government in 1938 while on a visit to Berkeley and was offered a position at the Radiation Laboratory. Between 1943 and 1946 he worked at Los Alamos after which he returned to Berkeley until his retirement in 1972.<br /><br />Chapter 10 General Accelerator Considerations: Edwin McMillan 1907-1991 was with Glenn Seaborg the first to produce a transuranic element neptunium. He joined the Radiation Laboratory in 1933 and during the Second World War worked on microwave radar and the Manhattan Project. When hostilities ended he returned to Berkeley co-developed the synchrotron and became director of the laboratory after Lawrence's death in 1958.<br /><br />Chapter 12 Linear Accelerators: Louis Alvarez 1911-1988 was a pioneer who made fundamental discoveries in physics through his development of the hydrogen bubble chamber. He joined the laboratory in 1936 and worked with the experimental team headed by Robert Oppenheimer. During the war he contributed significantly to radar research joined the Manhattan Project and then returned to Berkeley.<br /><br />The full contents are as follows: 1.

Berkeley is known as an advocate of subjective idealism which he called immaterialism which states that objects do not exist unless they are perceived. "A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge 1710 is the classic exposition of his philosophy of immaterialism as an antidote to infidelity prefaced with an influential essay in the philosophy of language; part two was later lost in manuscript with other papers in Italy." - Oxford Dictionary of National Biography Perhaps his most well-known work is Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous in which two characters representing himself and John Locke discuss various philosophical questions. Berkeley was a fellow at Trinity College and in the 1720s turned his attention to the project of opening St. Paul's College in Bermuda though skepticism about the chances of success in this endeavor caused the funding to come into question. "To prevent a threatening decline in private support Berkeley sailed for Newport Rhode Island with a small advance party on 6 September 1728; this included Smibert who painted several well-known portraits of Berkeley and of his party before settling for life in Boston. The journey was hazardous and protracted. They made an unscheduled landfall on the Virginia coast about the turn of the year and were officially received at Williamsburg before reaching Rhode Island on 23 January 1729. By the spring Berkeley had bought a farm of 96 acres at Middletown 'with two fine groves and winding rivulet upon it' Works 8.194 whose produce would support the college. He employed slaves and was apparently indifferent to the institution of slavery provided that it was humane seeing the moral need rather as one of conversion and baptism. He built a new house Whitehall which is now maintained as a historic site although the adjoining farmland has given way to urban development. Berkeley often preached at Newport Rhode Island in the winter and in remoter outposts in the summer. The strongest and longest friendship he established among New England churchmen was with Samuel Johnson 1696 - 1772 of Stratford Connecticut a refugee from Calvinism who later became first president of King's College New York later Columbia University and lent support to Berkeley's philosophy through his Elementa philosophica 1752 and other writings. Throughout his career Berkeley had little time for dissenters although he abhorred the use of violence against them. The religious tolerance characteristic of Rhode Island induced a degree of ecumenicism in his social practice that was not always maintained in the pulpit. Reports of growing infidelity in English society to which he was always liable to give credence were fuelled by the continuing bad faith of the government in failing to lodge the funds he considered legally his. This was a factor in his writing Alciphron a set of dialogues located notionally in England but drawing much of the landscape description from Rhode Island which was to sell well and stimulate controversy after his return. In this theist and immaterialist combine their defences against a medley of intellectual trends derived primarily but not exclusively from Locke Bernard Mandeville and the third earl of Shaftesbury that Berkeley regarded as obstructive to religion. The work includes Berkeley's second foray into moral philosophy." - Oxford Dictionary of National Biography Printed for J. Tonson in the Strand hardcover
