UCSC Opens in 1965: Santa Cruz Sentinel Special Editions

The University of California campus at Santa Cruz opened in the fall of 1965 with only about 650 students, 69 faculty, and 150 staff members, but its coming changed the economy and culture of the city and county of Santa Cruz profoundly. The articles in this special edition of the Santa Cruz Sentinel show the excitement of the founding, the ambitions of the chancellor and the founding faculty, and the eagerness of the select student "Pioneer Class".
