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:
“Every generation rewrites the past. In easy times history is more or less of an ornamental art, but in times of danger we are driven to the written record by a pressing need to find answers to the riddles of today.... In times of change and danger when there is a quicksand of fear under men’s reasoning, a sense of continuity with generations gone before can stretch like a lifeline across the scary present and get us past that idiot delusion of the exceptional Now that blocks good thinking.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Man watches his history on the screen with apathy and an occasional passing flicker of horror or indignation.”
—Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)
“Systematic philosophical and practical anti-intellectualism such as we are witnessing appears to be something truly novel in the history of human culture.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
