In 1905, the California legislature passed the University Farm Bill, which called for the establishment of a farm school for the University of California (at the time, Berkeley was the sole campus of the university). The commission took a year to select a site for the campus, a tiny town then known as Davisville UC, Davis opened its doors as the “University Farm” to 40 degree students (all male) from UC Berkeley in January 1909. (The farm had begun accepting students in non-degree farmers’ short courses in October 1908; around 115 men attended.)
