In June, 1912, Fresno State College's first senior class,
two men and thirty women, presented the school with its
first class gift—two small sequoia trees—and expressed
belief that the proportion to which the school should
grow would be as great as that of the grown sequoia.
The trees, brought from Sonoma County by the parents
of one of the first graduates, were planted near the Van
Ness Avenue entrance of the Fresno Normal School campus, later named the Fresno State Teachers College and
today the Fresno City College campus.
Today the sequoias are enormous trees. The graduating classes have also grown to great sizes. The class
of 1912 numbered 32 and the class of 1961 numbers
1,300. This year marks the 50th commencement exercises.
Through the years many students have entered the
doors of Fresno State College buildings. Many, for one
reason or another, stayed for only a brief semester or
two semesters. However, many were able and saw fit
to remain all four years. It is these students who brought
to their college honors, recognition and achievement.
Each senior, in some small way, has added history to
the college during these fifty years. Many are well
known today in all fields of public service—local, state
and national. Others have brought recognition to the
college through their leadership, personal accomplishments and community service.
It is these students who recognized the challenge a
college education presents. Some graduated during war
years, others during depression years and others, more
recently, during the change from old campus to new
campus. It is to these many alumni who call Fresno
State College their Alma Mater that we dedicate this
anniversary edition of the 1961 CAMPUS.
