Worth visiting as it is one of the few places in the world you can stand and touch something where people stood (and probably leaned) while making a change in the world. For me the place symbolizes the moment in the classic struggle between the "Town" and the "Gown" seen in every college town. In this case, the then College of California men made the decision for both Gown and Town. Subsequently the fates of each would become enmeshed. Also interesting is there is no monument to the namesake, Bishop George Berkeley, which is perhaps just as well since he pronounced the name BARK-lee but the city and University is pronounced BERK-lee. Aside from the change in pronunciation, the other striking change between then and now is in their day standing here the College of California men could see out the gate to be inspired by ships going out to sea. These days you'll have to make do with the back side of Cory Hall.
