"The letter "C" is embedded on the Riverside facing side of the Box Springs Mountain Reserve. The Big C was built in 1957, approximately 1,500 feet above the campus, and was the world's largest poured-concrete block letter, measuring 132 by 70 feet. It was constructed primarily by students with materials and some labor donated by Berkeley alumnus E. L. Yeager. Each freshman class had the responsibility for painting the letter and keeping it clean throughout the year." ....wikipedia...
