Foundingperiod

ThelandwheretheUniversityofCalifornia,Berkeleyislocatedis1866ItwasboughtbytheprivateCollegeofCalifornia,butduetoashortageoffundsthatyear,thecollegemergedwiththestate"Agriculture,Mining,andMechanicalTechnologyCollege"andwasestablishedinOakland,CaliforniaonMarch23,1868UniversityofCalifornia(UniversityofCalifornia),theuniversityisalsothefirstfull-timepublicuniversityinCalifornia.TheschoolbeganenrollingstudentsinSeptember1869.Atthattime,therewere10facultymembersand40studentsintheschool.In1873,theschoolmovedtoanewaddressnearOakland,andFrederickH.Billings,atrusteeoftheUniversityofCalifornia,proposedtoadd"Berkeley"totheschool'snameinmemoryofthegreatphilosopherGeorgeBerkeley(GeorgeBerkeley)inthe18thcentury.ThecityofBerkeleyisalsonamedtocommemoratethisgreatman).Therefore,theoriginalUniversityofCaliforniaisalsoequivalenttothe"UniversityofCalifornia,Berkeley."(Note:"Branchcampus"isatranslationmisunderstandingleftoverinhistory.Today,a"Branchcampus"oftheUniversityofCaliforniaisequivalenttoanindependentuniversity)

In1870,thefounderoftheschool,HenryDurant,servedastheUniversityofCaliforniaBerkeleyThefirstpresidentofthebranchschool(President).In1873,whentheNorthHallandSouthHallwerecompleted,theschoolofficiallymovedtoanewlocationinBerkeley.Thefirstclassofstudentsonthenewcampusconsistedof167maleand222femalestudents.Beginningin1891,CaliforniarichmanPhoebeAppersonHearst(PhoebeAppersonHearst)continuedtodonatetoBerkeley,whichenabledtheschooltodevelopalargenumberofnewsubjectsandpurchasenewteachingfacilities.In1905,theschoolestablisheda“UniversityFarm”nearSacramento,northeastofBerkeley,andthenbecameindependentfromBerkeleyandbecameanothercampusoftheUniversityofCalifornia,theUniversityofCaliforniaatDavis.

Inthe1930s,theAmericanBoardofEducationconductedasurveyof2000well-knownscholars.Asaresult,BerkeleyrankedamongthetopuniversitiesintheUnitedStatesforits"outstanding"and"appropriate"disciplineconstruction.ThefirstchallengeissuedbyapublicuniversityintheUnitedStatestoEasternIvyLeagueuniversitiesinmorethan200years.In1942,theU.S.BoardofEducationratedBerkeley’sU.S.TopcollegecoefficientsandjumpedtothesecondplaceintheUnitedStates,secondonlytoHarvardUniversity.

Inthe1960s,theUniversityofCaliforniaatBerkeleybecamegloballyfamousduetoitsstudents’protestsagainsttheUSgovernmentduringtheVietnamWar.The"FreeSpeechMovement"launchedinBerkeleyin1964evenchangedgenerationsofpeople'sviewsonpoliticsandmorality.BerkeleybecameoneofthesourcesofsocialchangeintheUnitedStatesatthattime.Later,inordertocommemoratethemovement,the"FreeSpeechMovementCafe"wasestablishedontheBerkeleycampus.

(3)AutonomousTradition

TheUniversityofCaliforniaisknownforitsacademicfreedomandstudentautonomy.AttheUniversityofCalifornia,Berkeley,thereisnorestraintfromconservativetraditions,noinsurmountablerulesanddisciplines.Inthisfreeland,youcangowild,letyourmindandimaginationfreelyexploretheunknownworld,whereyourthoughtswillalwaysberespected,evenifOthersdonotagreewithyou.ItisthiskindoffreethoughtthatoriginatedfromthedevelopmentoftheWestthatgavebirthtocountlessnewideasandgreatdiscoveriesattheUniversityofCalifornia,Berkeley.Berkeleyadherestoacademicdemocracy,doesnotengageinseniorityranking,anddoesnotusecelebritiesandauthoritytooverwhelmothers.Theschoolrequiresnewteachersnottocooperatewithfamousprofessorsinscientificresearchandwritingpapers,andencouragesyoungteacherstoexplorenewfieldsontheirown.Thisapproachisawisemovetoencouragecompetitionandmaketheacademicresearchfieldfullofvitality.Berkeleygivesfullplaytothepoweroftheprofessorship.ThereisanoldsayinginAmericanhighereducationcircles,"Professorisauniversity."InBerkeley,professorsarethe"mainforce"thatdecidesthedirectionofeducation,participatesindecision-making,andpromotestheimplementationofeducationalpolicies.Professorshaveconsiderablepowerinschooldecision-makingandmanagement.

ThepastpresidentsoftheUniversityofCaliforniaencouragedstudentstobecomeself-reliant.PrincipalSproulwasanactivememberofthestudentmovement,andduringhistenurehevigorouslyadvocatedtheautonomyofstudentsandfaculty.DuringWheeler’sadministration,helaunchedthe"SeniorStudentsRole"activitymanagedbythestudentsthemselves,whichallowedtheseniorstudentstoorganizetheStudentUnionontheirown,todriveandleadthelowerstudents,sothatthestudents'study,extracurricularactivities,andstudentinteractionswerelefttothestudents.Gotohost.Inthisway,ontheonehand,studentsgetthetrainingoforganizationandmanagementintheuniversityandhavetheabilitytoadapttothesociety;ontheotherhand,itreducesthetaskofteachermanagement,sothatteacherscanfocusonteachingwithoutbeingdistractedbymanagingstudents.Wheeler'scampaignwasnotasourceofwaterlessness.TheUniversityofCaliforniaestablishedastudentself-governmentorganizationin1887,butthestudentself-governmentorganizationatthattimewaslimitedtoorganizingexchangesbetweenstudents.Itdidn’taskquestionsaboutthingssuchasstudyandacademicaffairs,andthedevelopmentofactivitieswasintermittent.Sometimesitevenexistsinnameonly.Wheelertookadvantageofthesituationandmadeeffectiveuseofthisorganizationtomakeitsactivitiesfullycarriedout,anditsroleandinfluenceincreaseddaybyday.FormedoneofthethreemajororganizationsoftheUniversityofCalifornia.Studentsparticipateinthemanagementoftheschoolintheformofaself-governmentassociation.Ontheonehand,itconformstotheprincipleofacademicautonomy,andontheotherhand,itisbeneficialtotheschooltomaintainaconstantlynewsituation,ratherthangraduallybecomingconservativeandlaggingbehindthetimes.
