THE HILLSIDE CLUB: In 1898, three Berkeley women, Mrs. Edmund Grey, Mrs. Oscar Mauer, and Mrs. Sears organized informal tea parties with the women of their neighborhood, later calling their group the Hillside Club. The club’s object was to protect the hills of Berkeley from unscrupulous, greedy developers and to prevent “unsightly grading and the building of unsuitable and disfiguring houses.” They were particularly concerned that roads should follow the contours of the land, that trees should be planted as screens, so that the view of the hills would resemble a forest, and that houses should be, essentially, invisible. In this, they were quite successful, and today the look of the Berkeley hills reflects their efforts. DAVID LANCE GOINES: Artist and writer David Lance Goines was born May 29, 1945, in Grants Pass, Oregon. During the 1960s, Goines enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley. He participated in the Free Speech Movement, which led to his expulsion. After re-admittance, he graduated in 1965 and apprenticed as a printmaker. In 1968, he founded Saint Hieronymus Press which produces his limited edition letterpress and photo-lithography work. In 1982, Goines published the calligraphic classic "A Constructed Roman Alphabet," which won the 1983 American Book Award. Goines’ prints can be found in museum collections including the Achenbach Foundation for the Graphic Arts, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the Cooper-Hewitt Museum, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, among others.
