The Wythes Report	12/5	12-1:30	Palo Alto	Tom Jordan '55
South Bay Luncheon Paul Wythes '55, General Partner of Sutter Hill Ventures and Charter Trustee of Princeton, is the Chair of the Wythes Committee. The Committee was appointed by the Board of Trustees three years ago to explore two questions: 1) How can Princeton make the most responsible uses of its exceptional resources? 2) How can Princeton best fulfill its obligation to contribute to higher education, the world of scholarship, and social progress? Wythes will discuss the recommendations, recently approved by the Board and Princeton faculty, of his report: financial aid, size of the Graduate School, composition of faculty and staff, use of technology, and most notably, to increase undergraduate enrollment by 10% over a four year period.

Oakland Museum of California	12/9	10:30-3	Oakland	Dan Sullivan '63
Special tour of galleries of California ecology, history & art The Oakland Museum of California is a complex of terraced gardens and galleries devoted to the art, history, and natural sciences of California. The Natural Sciences Gallery depicts the state's diverse ecosystems, the California History Hall presents the state's history from the pre-European period to current times, and the California Art Gallery surveys the state's art from the early 1800s to the present. For more about the museum, see its website at www.museumca.org. We will meet at the museum entrance at 10:30 a.m. for a special guided tour of museum highlights, followed by lunch in the museum cafeteria. Time and weather permitting, we could take an afternoon walk around Lake Merritt. The museum is located at 10th and Oak Streets in downtown Oakland. BART riders exit at the Lake Merritt station and walk one block east on Oak Street. Drivers from the south should take I-880 north to the Oak Street exit, turn right onto Oak, and go four blocks to the museum. Drivers from other areas should take I-580 or 24 to I-980 (*not* 880) west to downtown Oakland, exit at the Jackson Street ramp, go straight on the exit road to the third light, turn left onto Oak, and go five blocks to the museum. The museum has a parking garage with a relatively modest fee. RSVP (helpful, but not required) to Dan Sullivan '63 at 415-626-8153.
