History
Graduate divisions have a long history in the University of California system, particularly at the Berkeley, Davis, and San Francisco campuses. For over 80 years, graduate education has been a major feature on the UC Davis campus. It began in partnership with the Graduate Division at University of Berkeley and culminated in the fall of 1925 with 12 students graduating from the College of Agriculture. As the years progressed, the UC intercampus graduate group programs continued to grow and support one another. The first graduate degrees were awarded from the UC Davis campus in June 1949.
In 1961, autonomous Graduate Divisions and Graduate Councils were established on all University of California campuses allowing for focused oversight of graduate education on each of the campuses.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
““And now this is the way in which the history of your former life has reached my ears!” As he said this he held out in his hand the fatal letter.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“Classes struggle, some classes triumph, others are eliminated. Such is history; such is the history of civilization for thousands of years.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
