A student view of campus life in the ’80s (as in 1880s)

Letters penned by Elmer R. Drew, a UC Berkeley undergraduate in the 1880s, offers a snapshot of California, and campus life, of yesteryear: camping in Hetch Hetchy Valley, cart wheels atop the gym, a goat in the recorder’s office. University Librarian Tom Leonard writes about Drew's missives, donated recently to the Bancroft Library.
