Sather's old chrome-plated foyer: Yesteryear's ruckuses meet the nowadays

Modeled after Athens’ Propylaea as a nod to trustee Peder Sater, it was John Galen Howard's modern era touch. Despite Jane Sather's initial frown at the gate's artwork, what with bare-as-a-baboon bas-relief figures symbolizing various fields, she returned them to their post in 1979. What truly put Sather Gate on the map, though, was its role in 60s free speech movement. Back in October 1964, the camera caught a iconic shot of students marching with the Free Speech banner right outside the gate. Meantime, this historical hotspot has maintained its place in Sproul Plaza, still carrying the whispers of the yesteryear's ruckuses.
