College introduction:
1881March, at the strong demand of Los Angeles residents, the California Parliament established the Southern Branch of California State Teachers College in downtown Los Angeles, aiming at training teachers for the growing population in Southern California. This Los Angeles State Normal University was established on August 29th, 1882. The original site is located in the central library of today's Los Angeles Public Library.
The facility includes a primary school, which provides internship teachers with opportunities to carry out educational practice with children. And this primary school is the predecessor of today's UCLA experimental primary school.

19 17, Edward Augustus Dixon, president of the University of California, representing the rights and interests of the southern United States, and Ernest Carol Moore, president of the State Teachers College, lobbied the state legislature to make the college the second campus after the University of California, Berkeley.
However, this motion was resisted by alumni of the University of California, Berkeley, and was opposed by members of the Northern California Parliament. At the same time, Benjamin Ed Wheeler, who was the chairman of the University of California from 1899 to19, also strongly resisted the establishment of the South Campus. However, David Press Barros, the new president of the University of California, holds the opposite opinion with Wheeler.
