The Sather language gets its name from the Sather Tower (popularly known as the Campanile), the best-known landmark
of the University of California at Berkeley. A symbol of the city and the University, it is the Berkeley equivalent of the
Golden Gate bridge. Erected in 1914, the tower is modeled after St. Mark's Campanile in Venice, Italy. It is smaller and a
bit younger than the Eiffel tower, and closer to most Americans - and lovers of Venice of course. The way most people say
the name of the language rhymes with "bather".
