Excerpt from Berkeley: The First Seventy-Five Years In Many Ways this history of Berkeley is an example of the value of the WPA Writer's Program. It was conceived, planned, compiled, written, and printed in a little over four months. To work within so tight a schedule was not easy: it demanded all the project's resources. For a single author - for even a group of authors beginning at scratch - to plan and execute such an undertaking at such short notice might have been impossible. It was possible for the Northern California Writers' Project only because the project, in the course of other work, had accumulated a great deal of information about Berkeley; because it has, through long and painful experience, learned to systematize its activities so as to accomplish a great deal in a short time; and finally, because it had the enthusiastic support and wholehearted cooperation of the people of Berkeley, including city officials, the university, business and service organizations, women's clubs, and individuals. Despite the speed with which it was compiled, this is not a superficial treatment of the subject; neither, on the other hand, is it as comprehensive a book as a long-time study might have permitted. It was planned and written as a narrative, with the intention of capturing the spirit of Berkeley's growth rather than of listing every detail of the city's history.
