History

W.K. Kellogg develops Arabian horse ranch

W.K. Kellogg, known for his famous Corn Flakes, had a life long passion for Arabian horses. After purchasing 377 acres (1.53 km²) at a cost of $25,000 USD, Kellogg developed the land into a world-renowned Arabian horse ranch. The first building erected contained the horse stables and it used to be located where the university plaza currently exists. Will Keith Kellogg, usually referred to as W. K. Kellogg, (April 7, 1860 – October 6, 1951) was a U.S. industrialist in food manufacturing. ... Cornflakes in a bowl Corn flakes are a popular breakfast cereal originally manufactured by Kelloggs through the treatment of corn. ...

On May 17, 1932 a crowd of more that 20,000 spectators converged on the ranch to witness Kellogg’s donation of his Arabian Horse Ranch, including 87 horses to the California State University. In return for the generous grant, the University agreed to keep the Arabian horses and to continue the Sunday Horse shows that began in 1927. is the 137th day of the year (138th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... Year 1932 (MCMXXXII) was a leap year starting on Friday (the link will display full 1932 calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ... The California State University (CSU) is one of three public higher education systems in the state of California, the other two being the University of California system and the California Community College System. ...

In 1927, Charles B. Voorhis purchased 150 acres (0.61 km²) of land near San Dimas to build a facility for students of agriculture. San Dimas is a city located in Los Angeles County, California. ...

In 1933, Julian McPhee, assumed the presidency of the California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. Known for his tight fiscal policy, McPhee saved the University during the years of the great depression. After those bleak years, McPhee's vision of expanding Cal Poly to Southern California came close to reality.

Cal Poly Pomona expands

Plagued with financial problems, Voorhis was forced to close his doors only ten years after he had opened his facility. The demise of the facility gave McPhee the opportunity to expand Cal Poly Pomona. In August of 1938, Charles Voorhis donated his facility as a gift to what is today the California State University System. In the same year, McPhee’s request for the land was approved and the entire horticulture program was moved from San Luis Obispo to the new Southern California campus.

Further expansion was halted by the onset of World War II. The southern Cal Poly campus was closed when the majority of its students were called into active duty and the former Kellogg ranch was transformed into an Army remount station. After the war, the ranch faced an uncertain future, but in 1949 the 813-acre (3.29 km²) W.K. Kellogg Arabian Horse Ranch was deeded to the state, a proposal to which Kellogg foundation agreed, provided the Sunday horse shows returned.

In 1949, the first Cal Poly Pomona Float was entered in the Tournament of the Roses Parade and won the Award of Merit. The Rose Float tradition continues today and marks the partnership between the two Cal Poly campuses. Spectators gather before the 2004 Rose Parade: some pay for seats in stands, others spend the night to reserve a free spot The Tournament of Roses Parade was established in 1890 and is held on New Years Day in Pasadena, California, eight miles (13 km) north-east of downtown...

In 1956, the first classes were held on the campus in the present-day science building. Six programs in agriculture, leading to four Bachelor of Science degrees, were offered. In the class of 1957, 57 agricultural majors were the first graduates of Cal Poly Pomona. By 1959, the curricula of the college included six degree programs in the arts and sciences and four in their nationally recognized engineering program.

Split from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo

Cal Poly Pomona broke off from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in 1966, becoming a separate campus of the California State University system. Since 1949, Cal Poly SLO and Cal Poly Pomona have cooperated on creating a float for the Rose Parade. The float program is one of the longest consecutive running self-built entries in the parade, as well as the only "self built" floats designed and constructed entirely by students year-round on both campuses. There is also the Roses Tournament in England Perhaps one of the United States of Americas most important annual festivities, The Tournament of Roses Parade is the 114-year-old traditional parade generally held on New Years Day in Pasadena, California. ...

Women join Cal Poly Pomona

Many changes occurred in 1961 which affected Cal Poly Pomona profoundly. The Master Plan for Higher Education established the California State College System with its own Board of Trustees, and 329 women enrolled at the University for the first time. In that same year, the Legislature enacted Education Code Section 22606, which identified the primary function of the State College as “…the provision of instruction for undergraduate students and graduate students, through the master’s degree, in the liberal arts and sciences, in applied fields and in the professions, including the teaching profession.” The California Master Plan for Higher Education of 1960 was developed by Clark Kerr during the administration of Governor Pat Brown. ...

The Legislature recognized the special responsibility of this institution as a “polytechnic college” by adding Education Code 40051 which authorized the college to emphasize “…the applied fields of agriculture, business, home economics, and other occupational and professional fields.”

In 1966, the California State Polytechnic College, Kellogg-Voorhis, was established as a separate institution from the San Luis Obispo school. Both campuses were awarded full university status in 1972. On June 1, 1972, the campus name was officially changed to California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. In 1982, The California State University and Colleges became The California State University.

The college has gone through tremendous growth in the last fifty years, with the construction of the C/L/A Building and new College of Engineering, and addition of innovative programs such as the Center for Regenerative Studies and International Polytechnic High School. Cal Poly's biggest current project is its $58.5 million library expansion. According to university spokesperson Uyen Mai, "At this time the university is focused on the renovation of buildings 1 and 3 to create more classroom space. We're also in the early phase of design for new student housing to accommodate another 800 students as well as a new building for one of our biggest colleges, the College of Business." In addition, the school just completed its first parking structure adding 2,378 new parking spaces.^[1] Currently, Cal Poly Pomona is a nationally and internationally recognized institution with approximately 19,800 students and 2,640 faculty and staff members.

Student life

Cal Poly Pomona is located in what could be called an industrial-agricultural suburb. This location has contributed to limited local housing and a largely commuter student body. This, in part, has led to an environment where many students come to school only for class and a less active student body than is traditionally seen at state colleges. Unlike most California Universities, Cal Poly Pomona does not have a student TV or radio station, but campus events are covered by the student newspaper, the Poly Post. A rival newspaper/e-letter The Pomona Point formed in 2007 to satirize articles written in the Poly Post as well as humour students who are familiar with buildings, events, and ideas seen on campus. Student Radio is radio produced by students based at a university or college. ... Front page view of student newspaper The Daily Toreador. ...

Controversies

In 1998, the university planned to confer an honorary degree to Robert Mugabe, President of Zimbabwe (the degree was to be conferred at the College of Business commencement, on June 13; Mugabe would be the commencement speaker). Strong negative opinion arose among students and employees; most often cited were anti-Semitic and anti-gay statements made by Mugabe and human rights violations that had taken place during his regime. The Faculty Senate passed a resolution against conferring an honorary degree. Mugabe's decision not to attend the commencement provided a rationale for the decision by the university not to grant the degree. Mugabe redirects here. ...
