History
Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, CA (1910) Scripps Institution of Oceanography was founded in 1903 as the Marine Biological Association of San Diego,an independent biological research laboratory by University of California Zoology professor William Emerson Ritter, with support from Ellen Browning Scripps and later her brother E. W. Scripps. They fully funded Scripps for the first several years. Scripps began institutional life in the boathouse of the Hotel Coronado located on San Diego Bay. Thereafter it re-located in 1905 to La Jolla on the head above La Jolla Cove, and finally in 1907 to its present location.
