was relocated, the band decided not to play in front of Bowles Hall. Subsequently, some of the men of Bowles lay down in the road, blocking the Cal Band from playing, until the band was forced to oblige them. Thus, the tradition of the Cal Band playing for the men of Bowles after a home football game has persisted to this day. We're the men of Bowles Association, Coming here from over all the nation. Drinking here together one and all, We lift our voices loud for Bowles Hall! (Chorus)Here's to Bowles Association.Drink it down and then,Drink a toast to home sweet home,Of California men. Rah! Rah! Rah!Fill your glasses to the brim,And lift them in the air.And drink a toast to Bowles Association,And the Golden Bear.Men of Bowles are gathered here together,Toasting everything from girls to weather.But the very greatest toast of all,Is the one that we now give to Bowles Hall!(Chorus)'' --Joseph Ehrman III, 1948 References External links Bowles Hall Web Site Bowles Hall Alumni Association and Bowles Hall Foundation Bowles Hall Drinking Song Castle With a Thousand Tales National Register of Historic Places, Alameda County Berkeley Landmarks Gothic Revival architecture in California Residential buildings on the National Register of Historic Places in California National Register of Historic Places in Berkeley, California University and college dormitories in the United States University of California, Berkeley buildings
