GRAPE VINES graced the front of the college shortly after completion. H. A. Barkelew donated 10 acres—mostly in vines—for the new campus in 1912. It was
an extension of Van Ness Avenue, a half mile north of the city limits. The campus was dedicated November 17, 1916.
THE INNER COURT of the $350,000 Fresno State Normal School nears completion on March 9, 1916.
The school today is the Fresno City College.
ARTHUR G. WAHLBERG, professor emeritus
of music, is the only living member of the
1911 faculty.
FIRST CAMPUS IS LOCATED ON VINEYARD SITE
By donation the normal school acquired ten acres of land
just north of the city limits for the purpose of erecting buildings. The legislature of 1913 appropriated $10,000 for the
purchase of an additional five-acre tract adjacent" to the
original site. Two other appropriations were made by the
same legislature; first, $10,000 for the improvement of the
new site and erection of temporary buildings, next, $370,000
for the construction of permanent buildings.
On the site of the present campus, which was a dying
vineyard in 1913, frame buildings were erected and at the
end of the summer vacation in September the normal school
moved into its new home.
The wooden buildings were the class rooms and laboratories for the students the following three years. Construction
of the present permanent buildings was started March 5,
1915 at a ground-breaking ceremony.
The new building was completed in August, 1916; furniture and equipment were in place by the end of the month
and the normal school opened in its new home on September 11, 1916. A special dedication ceremony was held on
the campus November 17, 1916. The legislative session of
1921 abolished state normal schools and in their place established teachers' colleges. This change made possible the
addition of four-year courses leading to the A.B. degree and
giving a much broader range of training.
