Early dairy and horticulture buildings, the University Farm
Silo Union, one of the original structure
In 1905, California passed legislation to establish a farm school for the University of California at University Farm Bill calls (time, was the only UC Berkeley campus). Commission site for the campus, then took a year to select a small town known as Davisville. UC Davis farm in October not in 1908 degrees of farmers began accepting students in short courses (40 graduate students at UC Berkeley in January, 1909 (all male) for "University Farm" as it opened its doors, was attended by about 115 men.)
Farm Peter J. Shields, Secretary of State Agricultural Society was founded on the vision and perseverance measure results. Peter J. Shields Library at UC Davis was selected for the honor. Champion the cause began to teach a university farm in California agriculture students to pursue education as out-of-state universities, he said after learning Shields.
Shields later said:
There Agricultural College in conjunction with the University of California at Berkeley, but it was purely academic. Largely botany and chemistry was limited to work; There were no farms and small prestige; He wanted to go to university to attract students, the curriculum can be considered as apt a snap, but he wanted to prevent his job more difficult.
After failing two bills, a law authorizing the creation of a university farm March 18, 1905 Yolo County, California's prime agricultural land, some homes passed, has been chosen as the site. A committee appointed by Regents Regents officially take control of the property in 1906. In September 1906 Davisville (now Davis) bought nearby land and four buildings were built in 1907.
Short courses, first presented in 1908 and was founded in 1909. In 1911, a three-year non-degree program, the first class graduated University Farm. Berkeley Farms agreed in 1914, the first female student. The three-year non-degree program continued until 1923.
