THE BIOGRAPHY OF SAN FRANCISCO STATE UNIVERSITY How did the railroad magnates scheme to dismantle the San Francisco Normal School, ancestor of San Francisco State University? What are the periods when San Francisco State was nationally renowned for the style and quality of education? Why did they keep a shotgun in the student union building of the old Waller Street campus? Do you remember "Music Alley"? Why was the original design for the Student Union building rejected by the Trustees? Could you have passed President Burk's terminal interview? San Francisco State University, in its several incarnations as a rigorous teacher training institution, a pace-setting liberal arts college, and a great urban university, is the subject of Professor Chandler's study. The questions listed above are drawn from the incidents in the exciting saga of an institution of higher learning that has had to struggle against hostility and indifference to achieve its place in the sun as one of the most enduring forces in the life of San Francisco.
