Author and UC Santa Barbara Alum Renée Patin Farrington reminisces about student life as well as the fashions and fun on campus and in Santa Barbara in the latter half of the 1950s.

UC Santa Barbara moved to its Goleta location in 1954 with a student body numbering a little over 1,700. For the next several years most of the buildings on campus were leftovers from the World War II-era Marine base – a far cry from the major educational institution of today.

--- About the Speaker ---

Renée Patin Farrington is the author and publisher of In the Shadow of the Sign, a personal memoir of her upbringing in Southern California as the daughter of a Disney animator.

Taurasi leaves her basketball career as the most decorated woman to ever play, with three WNBA titles, three NCAA titles and six Olympic gold medals to her name.

Illuminated manuscripts are hand-written devotional books that are lavishly illuminated with gold and silver ink on top of brightly-colored images. They were produced between c. 500 and c. 1600, with monasteries as their earliest creators. Their subject matter is usually Christian scripture, prayers, and lore. Wealthy patrons also wanted these illustrative works for personal libraries and encouraged the formation of private workshops that flourished in French and Italian cities. There is also an amusing side of illustrated manuscripts found in the margins, called marginalia: murderous rabbits, menacing snails, naughty nuns. Filled with imagery depicting everything from mythical beasts to humorous depictions of contemporary issues, these delightful illustrations give us a glimpse into the imaginations of the artists who entertained their patrons with them.
