University of California at Durant? I like the sound of that :)
When I went to Berkeley, I lived in Unit one of the Dorms. It was located on Durant Ave. The name? well, Deutsch Hall. Named after:
Deutsch Hall is named after Monroe Emanuel Deutsch (1879 - 1955). Monroe Emanuel Deutsch was born in San Francisco in 1879, and he died in San Francisco in 1955. He received his education in the public schools of San Francisco and in the University of California.
He was born after the Civil War, presumably did not own slaves.
