The only problem is its radio active and that means that when it decays it tends to fall apart. It is of course Plutonium and here to spell it out is Cambridge University's Ian Farnan.

- Founding of the university

Following the gold rush that brought hundreds of thousands of people to the state, the University of California is founded when two institutions merge - the private College of California in Oakland, and a new state land-grant institution, the Agricultural, Mining and Mechanical Arts College. Leaders of the two institutions decide to join the two schools. A mere 10 faculty members and 40 students make up the new university when it opens.

- University president Henry Durant

In , Durant came to California and founded the Contra Costa Academy as a private school for boys.
