	Kneeling Before Greatness / Hearst Memorial Mining Building at UC Berkeley is lovingly restored
		It was Phoebe Hearst's fortune that transformed the fledgling Berkeley campus from its dusty, rural look to its stately grandeur defined by imposing neoclassical buildings, or what Kelly called "the most remarkable example of campus Beaux Arts architecture in America."
		Most of the Hearst building was a mundane industrial barn, filled with dust and noise as students worked with mining rigs, rock crushers and a rail car that carried material from a horizontal shaft into the adjoining hillside that ironically cut across the Hayward Fault.
		The first paragraph of the noted biography of his son, "Citizen Hearst," by W.A. Swanberg, describes George Hearst as "a multimillionaire, untidy of dress, almost illiterate, an assassin of grammar, a lover of poker and good bourbon, and an inveterate tobacco chewer whose long beard and shirtfront were generally stained with juice."
