...Farm" was California's first derisive term for the new institution. Present day students still use the term with affection. In 1891 the 8,800-acre Farm was ready to receive its students and 465 of them?the famed Pioneer Class???came from up & down the Pacific Coast.

In 1906 came the earthquake which destroyed all but the smallest...

He is different from the class "grind," who labors long and alone.
