Peter J. Shields, secretary of State Agricultural Society championed the effort towards establishing a University Farm in California to teach agriculture, as California students had to seek admission in out-of-state universities in order to pursue a career in agriculture. University Farm came into being in 1909, after the California legislature passed the University Farm Bill in 1905. The Graduate Division was established in 1961 followed by the College of Engineering in 1962.
