But the story of how the University of California came to Santa Cruz is a longer and much more involved one. Step into the Wayback Machine with UCSC’s Campus Architect Emeritus Frank Zwart (Cowell ’71) to hear the details of how the University’s Regents selected Santa Cruz as the site for their bold new experiment in public higher education\, and learn about the University's first steps in building its new home. Along the way you’ll pick up some interesting UCSC architectural history trivia and some hidden jewels from the campus archives. \nFrank Zwart\, FAIA\, FAUA\, served as campus architect at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, from 1988 until his retirement in 2010. Under his direction\, the campus nearly doubled in size\, adding nearly 2.4 million square feet of building space and renovating one million more\, while preserving its breathtaking site. A Pasadena\, California\, native\, Frank received his bachelor’s degree in mathematics from UC Santa Cruz (Cowell College) in 1971 and his master’s in architecture from Princeton University. Prior to joining the design and construction staff at UCSC in 1985\, he worked in architectural firms in Princeton\, Los Angeles\, Santa Monica\, Aptos\, Philadelphia\, and Carmel.

Most people remember the novel for its famous and climactic death scene\, featuring one of Dickens's most beloved (and reviled) girl heroines\, Little Nell. It is a novel full of interesting scenes\, themes\, and curiosities. Featuring a gallery of Dickens's most grotesque characters\, it explores the idea of deformity\, especially as it contrasts with the angelic innocence and strangely embodied beauty of Little Nell. Its picaresque roots make it an adventure story as well as an allegory of moral journey; its interest in the urban landscape\, its pleasure\, and its dangers suggest Dickens's social concerns. \nNow in its 45th year of operation\, the Dickens Universe combines features of a scholarly conference\, a festival\, a book club\, and a summer camp. Participants include people of all ages and walks of life—distinguished scholars\, graduate students\, undergraduates\, retirees\, young professionals\, high school teachers\, and anyone who loves reading and enjoys long Victorian novels. \nHere are some things that make the Universe such a memorable experience. \n\nThe college lifestyle: participants live on campus\, eat together in the student dining hall\, and have time to meet and come to know each other in different ways.\nEveryone is reading the same book. We all have this one important thing in common.\nThe activities include formal lectures\, small discussion groups\, films\, daily Victorian teas\, performances\, and Victorian dancing.\n\nThe Universe offers a week of total immersion in the world of Victorian fiction with friendly\, like-minded colleagues in a beautiful setting. Whether we’re returning to a Dickens novel that everyone knows and loves or branching out into a Victorian novel by another author who might be less familiar\, during the Universe\, we build a community out of our passion for reading\, talking with one another\, and bringing Victorian culture to life.
