The
Campus Remembers
September, 2001
Under
a gray, somber sky, more than 12,000 gathered on Memorial Glade on the
UC Berkeley campus on Monday, Sept. 17, to reflect and remember the
dead and missing in the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington,
D.C. Some brought flowers, others raised flags and signs of peace—all
sought the solace of a community devoted to reason and tolerance. Chancellor
Robert M. Berdahl told the crowd, "Let those of us who hold the candle
of learning in our hands, hold firm in the vigil for freedom and reasoned
discourse."
