THE CALIFORNIA STATE COllEGES The Californi~ State Colleges are a unique development of the democratic concept of tax-supported public high6C education for all qualified students. Spanning the state from Humboldt County in the north to San Diego in the south, the 17 campuses of the California State Colleges (with another campus soon to be constructed) represent the largest system of public higher education in the Western Hemisphere, and one of the largest in the world. Current enrollment exceeds 157,000 full- and part-time students. The faculty and administrative staff numbers approximately 8,000. The individual colleges, each with a geographic, curricular and academic character of its own, offer a solid basic program in the liberal arts. Beyond this, each college is noted for its individuality in academic emphasis which makes for a diversified sysrem. Course offerings leading to the bachelor's and master's degrees are designed to satisfy existing student interests and to serve the technical and professional manpower requirements of the state. The California State Colleges are dedicated to rigorous academic standards. Consrant striving for academic excellence is at the heart of the system. The primary responsibility of each faculty within the system is the instructional process on the teacl1er-studenr level, with appropriate recognition of the necessary and constructive role of research in any institution of higher education. Responsibility for the Cnliforrua State Colleges is vested in the Boa.rd of Trustees, which is appointed by tbe Governor, and the Board's adminiStrative arm, the Chancellor. The Trustees and the Chancellor set broad policy for the colleges while delegating considerable independent responsibility for implementation nt the college level A statewide Academic Senate, made up of rep.rcsemativcs elected by the faculty at each college, acts ns n consultative body to the Chancellor in the area of academic affairs. Although the oldest of the colleges, San Jose Srate College, dates back a century, the California State College system under an independent Board of Trustees was created by the Donahoe Act of 1960. Formerly, the colleges were under the jurisdiction of the Smte Board of Education. Today, the Califorrua State Colleges are in a particularly dynamic period of their development.

Since 1947, ten new colleges have been developed; one is operating in temporary quarters in southwestern Los Angeles, and another has been authorized, to be located in Kern County.
