The '''University of California, Berkeley''' (also referred to as '''Cal''', '''Berkeley''' and '''UC Berkeley''') is a major research university located in [[Berkeley, California|Berkeley]], [[California]], [[United States]]. The oldest of the ten major campuses affiliated with the [[University of California]], Berkeley offers some 300 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in a wide range of disciplines. The university occupies {{convert|6651|acre|km2|0}}<ref>[http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/finreports/index.php?file=/06-07/pdf/campusfacts2007.pdf University of California Financial Reports<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> with the central campus resting on approximately {{convert|200|acre|km2|1}}.
The University was founded in 1868 in a merger of the private [[College of California]] and the public Agricultural, Mining, and Mechanical Arts College. By the 1930s, Berkeley had established itself as a premier research university, and today counts sixty-one Nobel Laureates among its faculty, researchers and alumni. Berkeley physicists led and hand-picked the team of scientists who worked on the [[Manhattan Project]], which developed the [[nuclear weapon|atomic bomb]] during [[World War II]] and the [[Teller-Ulam design|hydrogen bomb]] soon afterwards. The University has managed [[Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory]] ever since; in addition, the University of California exclusively managed the nation's two principal nuclear weapons labs at [[Livermore, California]], and [[Los Alamos, New Mexico]] until 2006. At that time, the University formed a consortium to manage the Livermore and Los Alamos labs, which included the University, the Bechtel Corporation (the world's largest engineering firm), BWX Technologies (a nuclear management company) and the Washington Group (a Department of Energy contractor).<ref>"California Is Surprise Winner in Bid to Run Los Alamos", New York Times, December 22, 2005.</ref>
Berkeley student-athletes compete intercollegiately as the ''[[California Golden Bears]]''. A member of both the [[Pacific-10 Conference]] and the [[Mountain Pacific Sports Federation]] in the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]], Cal students have won national titles in many sports, including football, men's basketball, baseball, softball, water polo, rugby and crew. In addition, they have won over 100 Olympic medals. The official colors of the university and its athletic teams are Yale blue and California gold.

== History ==
=== Founding ===
In 1866, the land that comprises the current Berkeley campus was purchased by the private [[College of California]]. Because it lacked sufficient funds to operate, it eventually merged with the state-run Agricultural, Mining, and Mechanical Arts College to form the [[University of California]]. The university's charter was signed by California Governor [[Henry H. Haight]] on [[March 23]], [[1868]]. Professor [[John Le Conte]] was appointed interim president, serving until 1870 when the Board of regents elected [[Henry Durant]], the founder of the College of California.
The university opened in September of [[1869]] using the former College of California's buildings in [[Oakland, California|Oakland]] as a temporary home while the new campus underwent construction.<ref name="ucb_about">[http://www.berkeley.edu/about/history/ UC Berkeley - About UC Berkeley - History<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> In 1871, the Board of Regents stated that women should be admitted on an equal basis with men. <ref>Douglass, J.A. The Conditions for Admission. 2007. pg 21. http://books.google.com/books?id=hWbr2DJDq30C&printsec=frontcover</ref> With the completion of North and [[South Hall (UC Berkeley)| South Halls]] in 1873, the university relocated to its Berkeley location with 167 male and 222 female students.<ref>[http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/uchistory/general_history/campuses/ucb/overview.html University of California History Digital Archives<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
=== Early development ===
Starting in 1891, Phoebe Apperson Hearst, mother of William Randolph Hearst, made several large gifts to Berkeley, endowing a number of programs, sponsoring an international architectural competition, and funding the construction of Hearst Memorial Mining Building and Hearst Hall. In 1899, the University came of age under the direction of [[Benjamin Ide Wheeler]], the University's President until 1919. Its reputation grew as President Wheeler succeeded in attracting renowned faculty to the campus and procuring research and scholarship funds.<ref name="ucb_about">[http://www.berkeley.edu/about/history/ UC Berkeley - About UC Berkeley - History<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The campus began to take on the look of a contemporary university with [[Beaux-Arts architecture|Beaux-Arts]] and [[neoclassical architecture|neoclassical]] buildings, including [[California Memorial Stadium]] (1923) designed by architect [[John Galen Howard]];<ref>[http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/CalHistory/brief-history.2.html Days of Cal | A Brief History of Cal: Part 2<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> these buildings form the core of UC Berkeley's present campus architecture.
[[Robert Gordon Sproul]] assumed the presidency in 1930 and during his tenure of 28 years, UC Berkeley gained international recognition as a major research university. Prior to taking office, Sproul took a six month tour of other universities and colleges to study their educational and administrative methods and to establish connections through which he could draw talented faculty in the future.<ref>[http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/uchistory/general_history/overview/presidents/index2.html#sproul University of California History Digital Archives<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The [[Great Depression]] and [[World War II]] led to funding cutbacks, but Sproul was able to maintain academic and research standards by campaigning for private funds. By 1942, the American Council on Education ranked UC Berkeley second only to [[Harvard University]] in the number of distinguished departments.<ref>[http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/uchistory/general_history/overview/presidents/index2.html#sproul University of California History Digital Archives<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
=== World War II ===
During [[World War II]], [[Ernest Lawrence|Ernest Orlando Lawrence]]'s [[Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory|Radiation Laboratory]] in the hills above Berkeley began to contract with the [[United States Army|U.S. Army]] to develop the [[atomic bomb]], which would involve Berkeley's cutting-edge research in nuclear physics, including [[Glenn T. Seaborg|Glenn Seaborg]]'s then-secret discovery of plutonium (Room 307 of [[Gilman Hall]], where Seaborg discovered plutonium, would later be a [[National Historic Landmark]]). UC Berkeley physics professor [[Robert Oppenheimer|J. Robert Oppenheimer]] was named scientific head of the [[Manhattan Project]] in 1942.<ref>[http://www.atomicarchive.com/History/mp/chronology.shtml Manhattan Project Chronology | The Manhattan Project: Making the Atomic Bomb | History of the Atomic Age | atomicarchive.com<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>http://www.childrenofthemanhattanproject.org/History/H-06c11.htm</ref> Along with the descendant of the Radiation Lab, the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the University of California originally managed and is now a partner in managing two other labs of similar age, [[Los Alamos National Laboratory]] and [[Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory]], which were established in 1943 and 1952, respectively.
=== 1950s and 1960s political influences ===
During the [[McCarthyism|McCarthy era]] in 1949, the [[Regents of the University of California|Board of Regents]] adopted an anti-[[communist]] loyalty oath to be signed by all University of California employees. A number of faculty members objected to the oath requirement and were dismissed;<ref>[http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/uchistory/archives_exhibits/loyaltyoath/timelinesummary.html The Loyalty Oath Controversy, University of California, 1949-1951<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> ten years passed before they were reinstated with back pay.<ref>[http://www.dailycal.org/article.php?id=535 The Daily Californian<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> One of them, [[Edward C. Tolman]]—the noted [[comparative psychology|comparative psychologist]]— has a building on campus named after him housing the departments of psychology and education. An oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California against all enemies, foreign and domestic" is still required of all UC employees.<ref>http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/.const/.article_20</ref><ref>[http://www.dailycal.org/sharticle.php?id=542 The Daily Californian<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
In 1952, the University of California became an entity separate from the Berkeley campus as part of a major restructuring of the UC system. Each campus was given relative autonomy and its own Chancellor. Sproul assumed the presidency of the entire University of California system, and [[Clark Kerr]] became the first Chancellor of UC Berkeley.<ref>[http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/CalHistory/brief-history.2.html Days of Cal | A Brief History of Cal: Part 2<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
=== 1960s and the Free Speech Movement ===
[[Image:Berkeley glade afternoon.jpg|thumb|320px|Memorial Glade, at the center of the Berkeley campus.]]
UC Berkeley’s reputation for student activism was forged in the 1960s, beginning with the [[Free Speech Movement]] in 1964.<ref>[http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/CalHistory/60s.html Days of Cal | Berkeley in the 60s<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> An impromptu response to the university’s ban on campus political activity, the Free Speech Movement led to the formal establishment of students’ freedom of expression. Student protests continued through the Vietnam War era in the 1960s, as campuses across the nation spoke out against American involvement in the war.
Perhaps the most publicized event in Berkeley was the [[People's Park, Berkeley|People's Park]] protest in 1969, which was a conflict between the university and a number of Berkeley students and city residents over a plot of land on which the university intended to construct athletic fields. A grassroots effort by students and residents turned it into a community park, but after a few weeks, the university decided to reclaim control over the property. Law enforcement was sent in and the park was bulldozed, setting off a protest. California governor [[Ronald Reagan]] — who had said in his gubernatorial election campaign that he would clean up the perceived unruliness at Berkeley and other university campuses — called in [[United States National Guard|National Guard]] troops and more violence erupted, resulting in over a dozen people hospitalized, a police officer stabbed, a bystander blinded, and the death of one student.<ref>"Berkeley in the 60s", Bancroft Library web exhibit. Ironically, People's Park remained an empty lot long after, and was eventually used by the university for other purposes. Online at http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/CalHistory/60s.html; Jeffery Kahn, "Ronald Reagan launched political career using the Berkeley campus as a target", ''UC Berkeley News'' (8 June 2004). Available online at http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2004/06/08_reagan.shtml.</ref> The university ultimately decided not to develop People’s Park, though it remains the owner of the property.
=== Present day ===
Today, students at UC Berkeley are generally considered to be less politically active than their predecessors.<ref>{{citation | last=Doty | first=Meriah | title=Examining Berkeley's liberal legacy | url=http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/01/09/elec04.berkeley/ | date=[[February 5, 2004]] | newspaper=[[CNN]] | accessdate=2008-02-20}}</ref> In a poll conducted in 2005, 51% of Berkeley freshmen considered themselves liberal, 37% considered themselves moderate, and 12% identified as conservative. 43.8% have no religious preference compared to a national average of 17.6%.

Although considered a liberal institution by some, various human and animal rights groups have protested the research conducted at Berkeley. [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] groups contend that the university's dismantling of the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology's repatriation unit demonstrates unwillingness to comply with the [[Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act]], while Berkeley officials say the museum's reorganization complies with the law and will involve all museum staff in the repatriation process.<ref>{{citation | last=Paddock | first=Richard | title=UC Berkeley's bones of contention | url=http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-adme-bones13jan13,0,2942194.story?coll=la-home-local | newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]] | date=[[January 12]], [[2008]] | accessdate=2008-01-13}}</ref> [[Animal-rights]] activists have taken to committing various acts of vandalism and intimidation against faculty members whose research involves the use of animals.<ref>{{citation | last=Krupnik | first=Matt | title=Animal rights activists protest at Cal | url=http://www.insidebayarea.com/argus/localnews/ci_7941998 | newspaper=The Daily Argus | date=[[January 11]], [[2008]] | accessdate=2008-01-13}}</ref> Additionally, the university's response to a group of [[tree sitting|tree sitters]] protesting the construction of a new athletic center has galvanized some members of the local community, including the city council, against the university.<ref>{{citation | last=McKinley | first=Jesse | title=University Fences In a Berkeley Protest, and a New One Arises | url=http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/13/education/13trees.html | newspaper=[[New York Times]] | date=[[September 7]], [[2007]] | accessdate=2008-01-11}}</ref> Plans to renovate Memorial Stadium in a way that would eliminate a view of the field from the surrounding hills also have encountered opposition from alumni and others who have regularly watched Cal football games for free.<ref>

As of 2006, the 32,347-student university needed more capital investment just to maintain current infrastructure than any other campus in the UC system, but as its enrollment is at capacity, it often receives less state money for improvement projects than other, growing campuses in the system.<ref>

</ref> As state funding for higher education declines, Berkeley has increasingly turned to private sources to maintain basic research programs. In [[2007]], the oil giant [[BP]] donated $500 million to Berkeley and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to establish a joint research laboratory to develop [[biofuel]]s, the Hewlett Foundation gave $113 million to endow 100 [[Chair (academic)#Named chair|faculty chair]]s, and [[Dow Chemical]] gave $10 million for a research program in [[sustainability]] to be overseen by a Dow executive.<ref name= "Paddock">{{cite news | last=Paddock | first= Richard C. | title=Less to bank on at state universities| url=http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-compact7oct07,0,5052218,full.story?coll=la-home-center | publisher= [[The Los Angeles Times]] | date=October 6, 2007 | accessdate = 2007-10-06}}</ref><ref>{{cite news | last=Schevitz | first= Tanya | title=Cal given $10 million by Dow Chemical to work on sustainability| url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/10/31/BA67T2UHH.DTL&tsp=1 | publisher= [[The San Francisco Chronicle]] | date=October 31, 2007 | accessdate = 2007-10-31}}</ref>
====British Petroleum / [[BP]] Deal====
The $500 million ten-year [[contract]] between UC Berkeley, the [[Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory]], the [[University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign]] and [[BP]] (formerly British Petroleum), one of the world’s largest energy production companies, officially went into effect Wednesday [[November 14]], [[2007]] following approval by a majority of the faculty.<ref name= "Brenneman2">{{cite news | last=Brenneman | first= Richard | title= UC Signs BP Contract| url= http://www.berkeleydaily.org/text/article.cfm?issue=11-13-07&storyID=28477 | publisher= [[Berkeley Daily Planet]] | date=November 13, 2007| accessdate= 2007-11-15}}</ref> The grant is the largest in the University’s history.

==Campus==
[[Image:Berkeley Campus from Big C.JPG|thumb|left|230px|View of the Berkeley Campus from the Big C on the foothills to the east]]
The Berkeley campus encompasses approximately 1,232 acres (5 km²), though the "central campus" occupies only the low-lying western 178 acres (0.7 km²) of this area. Of the remaining 1000 acres (4 km²), approximately {{convert|200|acre|km2|1}} are occupied by the [[Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory]]; other facilities above the main campus include the [[Lawrence Hall of Science]] and several research units, notably the [[Space Sciences Laboratory]], the [[Mathematical Sciences Research Institute]], an undeveloped {{convert|800|acre|km2|1}} ecological preserve, the [[University of California Botanical Garden]] and a recreation center in [[Strawberry Canyon]]. To the west of the central campus is the [[Downtown Berkeley, California|downtown business district]] of Berkeley; to the northwest is the neighborhood of [[North Berkeley, Berkeley, California|North Berkeley]], including the so-called [[Gourmet ghetto|Gourmet Ghetto]], a commercial district known for high quality dining due to the presence of such world-renowned restaurants as [[Chez Panisse]]. Immediately to the north is a quiet residential neighborhood known as [[Northside, Berkeley, California|Northside]] with a large graduate student population{{Fact|date=October 2007}}; situated north of that are the upscale residential neighborhoods of the [[Berkeley Hills]], where many faculty members live{{Fact|date=October 2007}}. Immediately southeast of campus lies fraternity row, and beyond that the [[Clark Kerr Campus]] and an upscale residential area named [[Claremont, Oakland/Berkeley, California|Claremont]]. The [[Southside, Berkeley, California|area south of the university]] includes student housing and [[Telegraph Avenue]], one of Berkeley's main shopping districts with stores, street vendors and restaurants catering to college students and tourists. In addition, the University also owns some land to the northwest of the main campus, a 90-acre married student housing in nearby town of Albany ("Albany Village" and the "Gill Tract"), a field research station several miles to the north in Richmond, California. Outside of the Bay Area, the University owns various research laboratories and research forests in both northern and southern Sierra Nevada.

What is considered the historic campus today was the result of the 1898 "International Competition for the [[Phoebe Hearst]] Architectural Plan for the University of California," funded by [[William Randolph Hearst]]’s mother and initially held in the [[Belgium|Belgian]] city of [[Antwerp]]; eleven finalists were judged again in San Francisco in 1899.<ref>[http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/uchistory/archives_exhibits/online_exhibits/romapacifica/index.html Online Exhibit on the Hearst Architectural Competition]</ref> The winner was Frenchman Emile Bernard, however he refused to personally supervise the implementation of his plan and the task was subsequently given to architecture professor [[John Galen Howard]]. Howard designed over twenty buildings, which set the tone for the campus up until its expansion in the 1950s and 1960s. The structures forming the “classical core” of the campus were built in the [[Beaux-Arts architecture|Beaux-Arts]] Classical style, and include [[Hearst Greek Theatre]], [[Hearst Memorial Mining Building]], [[Doe Memorial Library]], California Hall, Wheeler Hall, (Old) Le Conte Hall, Gilman Hall, Haviland Hall, Wellman Hall, [[Sather Gate]], and the {{convert|307|ft|m|0|sing=on}} [[Sather Tower]] (nicknamed "the Campanile" after its architectural inspiration, [[St Mark's Campanile]] in Venice). Buildings he regarded as temporary, nonacademic, or not particularly "serious" were designed in shingle or [[Gothic architecture|Collegiate Gothic]] styles; examples of these are North Gate Hall, Dwinelle Annex, and Stephens Hall. Many of Howard’s designs are recognized [[California Historical Landmark]]s and are listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]].
Built in 1873 in a Victorian Second-Empire-style, [[South Hall (UC Berkeley)|South Hall]] is the oldest university building in California. It, and the [[Frederick Law Olmsted]]-designed [[Piedmont Avenue (Berkeley)|Piedmont Avenue]] east of the main campus, are the only remnants from the original University of California before John Galen Howard's buildings were constructed. Other architects whose work can be found in the campus and surrounding area are [[Bernard Maybeck]]<ref name=mccoy>{{cite book | last =McCoy | first =Esther | authorlink =Esther McCoy | title =Five California Architects | publisher =Reinhold Publishing Corporation |date=1960 | location =New York | pages =6 | id =ASIN B000I3Z52W}}</ref> (best known for the [[Palace of Fine Arts]] in San Francisco), Maybeck's student [[Julia Morgan]] (Hearst Women's Gymnasium), [[Charles Willard Moore]] ([[Haas School of Business]]) and [[Joseph Esherick]] (Wurster Hall).

[[Image:Strawberry Creek near Dwinelle Hall.jpg|thumb|Strawberry Creek, as seen between Dwinelle Hall and Lower Sproul Plaza.]]
Flowing into the main campus are two branches of [[Strawberry Creek]]. The south fork enters a culvert upstream of the recreational complex at the mouth of Strawberry Canyon and passes beneath [[California Memorial Stadium]] before appearing again in Faculty Glade. It then runs through the center of the campus before disappearing underground at the west end of campus. The north fork appears just east of [[University House, Berkeley|University House]] and runs through the glade north of the [[Valley Life Sciences Building]], the original site of the Campus Arboretum.
Trees in the area date from the founding of the University in the 1870s. The campus, itself, contains numerous wooded areas; including: [[Founders' Rock]], Faculty Glade, Grinnell Natural Area, and the [[Eucalyptus]] Grove, which is both the tallest stand of such trees in the world and the tallest stand of hardwood trees in North America.<ref>[http://strawberrycreek.berkeley.edu/tour/08eucalyptus.html UC Berkeley Strawberry Creek<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

===Admissions===
{{main|University of California, Berkeley Student Admissions}}
Berkeley is perennially the most selective of the institutions affiliated with the University of California, and one of the most selective universities in the United States. For the 2007-08 academic year, approximately 4387 freshman (including U.S. and international students) matriculated from an applicant pool of 44,127. The average person admitted as a freshman in 2007 had a weighted [[Grade Point Average|GPA]] of 4.25/4.00, [http://students.berkeley.edu/admissions/freshmen.asp] and an average score of 2029 out of 2400 (approximately 94th percentile) on the SAT admissions test.
Graduate admissions vary by department, although in 2006 the university's doctoral programs admitted 1,058 students from a pool of 14,263 applicants.<ref name="perf_metrics">[http://metrics.vcbf.berkeley.edu/ UC Berkeley Performance Metrics]</ref>

===Library system===
{{main| University of California, Berkeley Library System}}
Berkeley’s 32 libraries together tie for fourth largest academic library in the United States surpassed only by the [[Library of Congress]], [[Harvard University|Harvard]], and [[Yale University|Yale]]. In 2003, the [[Association of Research Libraries]] ranked it as the top public and third overall university library in [[North America]] based on various statistical measures of quality.<ref>[http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2002/06/20_libry.html 06.20.2002 - UC Berkeley library is top-ranked among North American public university research libraries<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>As of 2006, Berkeley’s library system contains over 10 [[million]] volumes and maintains over 70,000 serial titles.<ref>[http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/news_events/whats-new.html What's New in the Library<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The libraries together cover over 12 acres of land and comprise one of the largest library complexes in the world.<ref>[http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/97legacy/gard.html 06.12.97 - New addition to UC Berkeley Main Library dedicated to former UC President David Gardner<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Doe Library serves as the library system's reference, periodical, and administrative center, while most of the main collections are housed in the subterranean Gardner Main Stacks and Moffitt Undergraduate Library. The [[Bancroft Library]], with holdings of over 400,000 printed volumes, maintains a collection that documents the history of the western part of North America, with an emphasis on California, Mexico and Central America.
===Contributions to computer science===
[[Image:Unix history-simple.svg|thumb|left|240px|Unix, filiation of Unix systems]]
Berkeley has nurtured a number of key technologies associated with the early development of the [[Internet]] and the [[Free software movement]]. The original [[Berkeley Software Distribution]], commonly known as BSD [[Unix]], was assembled in 1977 by [[Bill Joy]], then a graduate student in the computer science department. Joy, who went on to co-found Sun Microsystems, also developed the original version of [[vi]]. [[Ingres]] and [[PostgreSQL]] emerged from faculty research begun in the late 1970s. [[Sendmail]] was developed at Berkeley in 1981. [[BIND]] (Berkeley Internet Name Domain package) was written by a team of graduate students around the same time period. The [[Tcl]] programming language and the [[Tk (computing)|Tk]] [[graphical user interface|GUI]] toolkit were developed by faculty member [[John Ousterhout]] in 1988. [[SPICE]] and espresso, popular tools for IC Designers, were invented at Berkeley under the direction of Professor [[Donald Pederson]]. The [[Redundant array of independent disks|RAID]] and [[RISC]] technologies were both developed at Berkeley under [[David A. Patterson (scientist)|David Patterson]].
Perhaps the most influential contributions to computing from UC Berkeley have been the algorithms and analysis of [[floating-point]] arithmetic, led by Professor [[William Kahan]]. They include extensive and ongoing contributions to the [[IEEE 754]] standard.
The [[EXperimental Computing Facility|XCF]], an undergraduate research group located in Soda Hall, has been responsible for a number of notable software projects, including [[GTK+]], [[GIMP|The GIMP]], and the initial diagnosis of the [[Morris worm]]. In 1992 [[Pei-Yuan Wei]], an undergraduate at the XCF, created [[ViolaWWW]], one of the first graphical [[web browser]]s. ViolaWWW was the first browser to have embedded scriptable objects, stylesheets, and tables. In the spirit of Open Source, he donated the code to [[Sun Microsystems]], inspiring [[Java (programming language)|Java]] [[applet]]s. ViolaWWW would also inspire researchers at the [[National Center for Supercomputing Applications]] to create the [[Mosaic (web browser)|Mosaic]] web browser.
[[SETI at home|SETI@home]] was one of the first widely disseminated [[distributed computing]] projects, allowing hobbyists and enthusiasts to participate in scientific research by donating unused computer processor cycles in the form of a screen saver.
In an interesting example of the confluence of disparate ideas, many of the arguments for the efficacy of Open Source software development, and of the [[Wikipedia]] project itself, find parallels in writings on urban planning and architecture published in the late 1970s by [[Christopher Alexander]], a Berkeley professor of [[architecture]]. At the same time, [[John Searle]], a Berkeley professor of philosophy, introduced a critique of [[artificial intelligence]] using the metaphor of a [[Chinese Room]].
Berkeley has established partnerships with [[Google]], [[Intel]], [[Microsoft]], [[Sun Microsystems]], and [[Yahoo!]]. Intel Research Berkeley's small industrial lab near the main UC Berkeley campus brings together researchers from Intel and Berkeley to pursue open and collaborative research into realms including Technology and Infrastructure for Emerging Regions, Delay Tolerant Networking, rural connectivity and networks as databases. Yahoo! Research Berkeley Labs focuses on mobile media technology and social media in a facility adjacent to the campus. Sun Microsystems, Google, and Microsoft are funding a $7.5 million dollar [[Reliable, Adaptive and Distributed Systems Laboratory]] to develop more reliable computing systems.

===Athletics===
{{main|California Golden Bears}}
Cal's sports teams compete in intercollegiate athletics as the [[California Golden Bears]]. They participate in the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]]'s Division I-A as a member of the [[Pacific Ten Conference]]. The official school colors, established in 1873 by a committee of students, are Yale Blue and California Gold.<ref>[http://resource.berkeley.edu/r_html/r01_04.html Resource: Student history<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Yale Blue was chosen because many of the university's founders were [[Yale University]] graduates (for example Henry Durant, the first university president), while California Gold was selected to represent the [[Golden State]] of California. Cal has a long history of excellence in athletics, having won national titles in football, men's basketball, baseball, softball, men's and women's crew, men's gymnastics, men's tennis, men's and women's swimming, men's water polo, men's Judo, men's track, and men's rugby. In addition, Cal athletes have won numerous individual NCAA titles in track, gymnastics, swimming and tennis.
'''California-Stanford Rivalry'''
{{main|Big Game (football)|Big Game}}
The Golden Bears' traditional arch-rivalry is with the [[Stanford University|Stanford]] Cardinal. The most anticipated sporting event between the two universities is the annual football game dubbed the [[Big Game (football)|Big Game]], and it is celebrated with spirit events on both campuses. Since 1933, the winner of the Big Game has been awarded custody of [[the Stanford Axe]].
'''"The Play"'''
One of the most famous moments in Big Game history occurred during the 85th Big Game on November 20, 1982. In what has become known as "the band play" or simply [[The Play]], Cal scored the winning touchdown in the final seconds with a kickoff return that involved a series of laterals and the Stanford marching band rushing onto the field.
'''Rankings'''
California finished in first place[http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/nacda/sports/directorscup/auto_pdf/Jan.pdf]in the 2007-2008 Fall U.S. Sports Academy Directors' Cup standings (Formerly the Sears Cup), which measures the best overall collegiate athletic programs in the country, with points awarded for national finishes in NCAA sports. Cal finished with 370 points.
California finished in ninth place[http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/nacda/sports/directorscup/auto_pdf/finald1standings.pdf] in the 2006-07 U.S. Sports Academy Directors' Cup. With 1030.00 points, this is Cal's highest point value in school history.
California finished in sixth place[http://graphics.fansonly.com/photos/schools/nacda/sports/directorscup/auto_pdf/0506D1June22Stand.pdf] in the NACDA [[Director's Cup]] standings, with points awarded for national finishes in NCAA sports. With 865.5 points, Cal's seventh place finish is the highest in the school's history.

===Traditions===
The official university mascot is [[Oski|Oski the Bear]], who first debuted in 1941. Previously, live bear cubs were used as mascots at [[California Memorial Stadium|Memorial Stadium]]. It was decided in 1940 that a costumed mascot would be a better alternative to a live bear. Named after the [[The Oski Yell|Oski-wow-wow]] yell, he is cared for by the Oski Committee, who have exclusive knowledge of the identity of the costume-wearer.<ref>[http://calbears.collegesports.com/trads/cal-m-fb-mas.html California Golden Bears - Traditions<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
The [[University of California Marching Band]], which has served the university since 1891, performs at every home football game and at select road games as well. A smaller subset of the Cal Band, the Straw Hat Band, performs at basketball games, volleyball games, and other campus and community events.<ref>[http://www.calband.berkeley.edu/calband/about/ University of California Marching Band ~ About Us<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
The [[UC Rally Committee]], formed in 1901, is the official guardian of California's Spirit and Traditions. Wearing their traditional blue and gold rugbies, Rally Committee members can be seen at all major sporting and spirit events. Committee members are charged with the maintenance of the five Cal flags, the large California banner overhanging the Memorial Stadium Student Section and [[Haas Pavilion]], the California Victory Cannon, Card Stunts and [[The Big "C"]] among other duties. The Rally Committee is also responsible for safekeeping of the [[Stanford Axe]] when it is in Cal's possession.<ref>[http://ucrc.berkeley.edu/ UC Rally Committee | Home<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The Chairman of the Rally Committee holds the title "Custodian of the Axe" while it is in the Committee's care.
Overlooking the main Berkeley campus from the foothills in the east, [[The Big "C"]] is an important symbol of California school spirit. [[The Big "C"]] has its roots in an early 20th century campus event called "Rush," which pitted the freshman and sophomore classes against each other in a race up Charter Hill that often developed into a wrestling match. It was eventually decided to discontinue Rush and, in 1905, the freshman and sophomore classes banded together in a show of unity to build [[The Big "C"]].<ref>[http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/CalHistory/traditions.html Days of Cal | Bear Traditions<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Owing to its prominent position, the Big C is often the target of pranks by rival [[Stanford University]] students who paint the Big C red and also fraternities and sororities who paint it their organization's colors. One of the Rally Committee's functions is to repaint [[The Big "C"]] to its traditional color of King Alfred Yellow.
Cal students invented the college football tradition of [[card stunts]]. Then known as Bleacher Stunts, they were first performed during the 1910 [[Big Game]] and consisted of two stunts: a picture of the [[Stanford Axe]] and a large blue "C" on a white background. The tradition continues today in the Cal student section and incorporates complicated motions, for example tracing the Cal script logo on a blue background with an imaginary yellow pen.<ref>[http://calbears.collegesports.com/trads/cal-m-fb-tour.html California Golden Bears - Traditions<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
The California Victory Cannon, placed on [[Tightwad Hill]] overlooking the stadium, is fired before every football home game, after every score, and after every Cal victory. First used in the 1963 Big Game, it was originally placed on the sidelines before moving to [[Tightwad Hill]] in 1971. The only time the cannon ran out of ammunition was during a game against [[University of the Pacific (United States)|Pacific]] in 1991, when Cal scored 12 touchdowns.<ref>[http://calbears.collegesports.com/trads/victory-cannon.html California Golden Bears - Traditions<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
Other traditions have included events which span only a period of a few years. William (or Willie) the Polka Dot Man was a performance artist who frequented Sproul Plaza during the late 1970s and early 1980s.<ref>[http://www.berkeley.edu/news/berkeleyan/2002/08/15_foley.html 08.15.2002 - The quintessential campus cop<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The Naked Guy (now deceased<ref>[http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2006-05-21-naked-guy-dies_x.htm USATODAY.com - Former Berkeley student known as 'Naked Guy' dies in jail<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>) and Larry the Drummer, who performed Batman tunes, appeared in the late 1980s and early 1990s.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Martinez</ref><ref>[http://www.berkeley.edu/news/berkeleyan/2002/08/15_foley.html 08.15.2002 - The quintessential campus cop<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

UC Berkeley's student housing accommodates a variety of personal and academic preferences and styles. Presently, the university offers two years of guaranteed housing for entering freshmen, and one year for entering transfer students. The immediately surrounding community offers apartments, Greek (fraternity and sorority) housing, and [[University Students' Cooperative Association|student housing co-ops]].
{{main|UC Berkeley student housing}}
There are four residence hall complexes south of campus in the City of Berkeley: Units 1, 2, 3, and Clark Kerr. Units 1, 2 and 3 offer high-rise accommodations with common areas on every other floor. Dining commons and other central facilities are shared by the high-rises. Because of their communal design and location in the city, these residence halls tend to be the more social of the housing options. Units 1 and 2 also have many of the newest residence hall buildings, which are intended for continuing and transfer students.<ref>[http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2005/01/11_spring05.shtml 01.11.2005 - New residence halls, new students arrive for spring semester<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Just outside these complexes are the Channing-Bowditch and Ida Jackson apartments, also intended for older students.<ref>[http://www.housing.berkeley.edu/livingatcal/channing_bowditch.html housing.berkeley.edu]</ref><ref>[http://www.housing.berkeley.edu/livingatcal/jackson_house.html Jackson House]</ref> Farther away from campus is Clark Kerr, a residence hall complex that houses many student athletes and was once a school for the deaf and blind. This complex is considered the most spacious and luxurious accommodation south of campus.
In the foothills, east of the central campus, there are three additional residence hall complexes: Foothill, Stern, and Bowles. Foothill is a co-ed suite-style hall reminiscent of a Swiss chalet. Just south of Foothill, overlooking the [[Hearst Greek Theatre]], is the all-girls traditional-style Stern Hall, which boasts an original mural by [[Diego Rivera]]. Because of their proximity to the [[UC Berkeley College of Engineering|College of Engineering]] and [[UC Berkeley College of Chemistry|College of Chemistry]], these residence halls often house science and engineering majors. They tend to be quieter than the [[Southside, Berkeley, California|southside]] complexes, but because of their location next to the theatre, often get free glimpses of concerts. [[Bowles Hall]], the oldest state-owned residence hall in California, is located immediately north of [[California Memorial Stadium]]. Dedicated in 1929 and on the [[National Register of Historic Places]], this all-men’s residence hall has large quad-occupancy rooms and has the appearance of a castle. This residence hall is like a fraternity, with many of its residents staying all four years. However, in 2005 the university decided to limit Bowles to freshmen because of complaints that it had become too raucous and was jeopardizing the learning environment.<ref>[http://www.dailycal.org/sharticle.php?id=19190 The Daily Californian<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Bowles houses was once ranked as one of [[Playboy Magazine]]'s top-10 college parties during Halloween, however the university within the past few years has cracked down on this activity. Currently, the residence is being courted by the [[Haas School of Business]] to become housing for scholars and business professionals who visit Berkeley.<ref>[http://www.contracostatimes.com/mld/cctimes/news/local/states/california/alameda_county/berkeley/13367408.htm contracostatimes.com: Haas eyes residence hall to house program]</ref> There is a great deal of opposition to this plan, and no final decisions have been made.
Family student housing consists of two main groups of housing: [[UC Village| University Village]] and Smyth-Fernwald. University Village is located three miles (5 km) north-west of campus in [[Albany, California]]. The demolition of older buildings and their subsequent replacement with new, more expensive apartment units has prompted student protests. The Village Residents Association, a funding and advocacy group in University Village, filmed a video documentary regarding the lack of affordable student family housing in June, 2007.<ref>[http://ucbfamilyhousing.blogspot.com Affordable Student Family Housing - UC Berkeley<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Smyth-Fernwald is scheduled for demolition in 2010.
===Student groups===
[[Image:Cal band.JPG|thumb|Cal Straw Hat Band (a smaller subset of the Cal Band) playing at [[SeaWorld San Diego|SeaWorld]] in [[San Diego, California]].]]
UC Berkeley has over 700 established student groups.
UC Berkeley has a reputation for [[student activism]], stemming from the 1960s and the [[Free Speech Movement]]. Today, Berkeley is known as a lively campus with activism in many forms, from email petitions, presentations on [[Sproul Plaza]] and volunteering, to the occasional protest. Political student groups on campus numbered 94 in 2006-2007 school year, including Berkeley MEChA, Berkeley [[ACLU]], Berkeley Students for Life, Campus Greens, Cal Berkeley Democrats, and the Berkeley College Republicans. Berkeley sends the most students to the [[Peace Corps]] of any university in the nation.<ref>[http://www.ucop.edu/pathways/infoctr/introuc/ucb.html Berkeley<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
The [[IDEAL Scholars Fund]] was established by four alumni to increase the number of underrepresented minorities at UC Berkeley. The Fund tries to counter the perceived effects of California [[Proposition 209]], which ended [[Affirmative Action]] in [[California]] and in the [[University of California]] system. Some claimed there was a reduction in the numbers of Latino, African American and Native American students and rekindled their activism on campus concerning issues of race. However, supporters of [[Proposition 209]] have noted that the number of Asian American students, a small minority group, has dramatically increased following its passage. Racial preferences remain a controversial topic, with some students supporting them while many others are opposed to what they see as reverse racism.
The [[Associated Students of the University of California]] (ASUC) is the [[student government]] organization that controls funding for student groups and organizes on-campus student events. It is considered one of the most autonomous student governments at any [[public university]] in the U.S.
UC Berkeley's independent student-run newspaper is ''[[The Daily Californian]]''. Founded in 1871, ''The Daily Cal'' became independent in 1971 after the campus administration fired three senior editors for encouraging readers to take back [[People's Park (Berkeley)|People's Park]].
Berkeley's FM radio station, [[KALX]], broadcasts on 90.7 MHz. It is run largely by volunteers, including both students and community members.
Berkeley Model United Nations is the oldest running high school Model United Nations conference in the nation holding an annual conference on campus with over 1500 high school students participating.
Berkeley's student-run television station, [[CalTV]], was formed in 2005 and broadcasts online. It is run by students with a variety of backgrounds and majors.
Democratic Education at Cal, or DeCal, is a program that promotes the creation of professor-sponsored, student-facilitated classes through the Special Studies 98/198 program. DeCal arose out of the 1960s [[Free Speech movement]] and was officially established in 1981. The program offers some 150 courses on a vast range of subjects that appeal to the Berkeley student community, including classes on ''[[The Simpsons]]'', [[Poker]], [[South Park]], [[Superman]], [[Batman]], [[Iranian Revolution|The Iranian Revolution]], [[conspiracy theory|conspiracy theories]], [[political]] [[debate]], [[meditation]] and [[disc jockey|DJing]].[http://www.decal.org/courses/index.php]
UC Berkeley's anime club, Cal Animage Alpha, founded in 1989 is one of the oldest in the west coast, and achieved distinction for having the most members of all clubs outside of Japan in its 1994 year with over 300 members.

The plurality of Asian American students at Berkeley vis a vis the population of California was featured in an [[New York Times]] article.<ref>{{citation | last=Timothy | first=Egan | title=Little Asia on the Hill | url=http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/07/education/edlife/07asian.html | date=[[January 7]], [[2007]] | newspaper=[[New York Times]] | accessdate=2008-01-16}}</ref>
Chinese Americans alone make up a staggering percentage of undergraduate students at UC Berkeley -- '''''25% of the entire undergraduate population consists of Chinese Americans (over 5,000 undergraduates are of Chinese descent''')''. UC Berkeley students were active in organizing with UCLA Asian Pacific Coalition (APC) and UC administrators in "Count Me In" campaign to disaggregate the Asian Pacific Islander (API) label. The campaign was a statewide movement to make the UC application more inclusive of underrepresented communities and properly collect data of admissions. This resulted in breaking down the “Other Asian” category adding 10 ethnicities under Asian American to the UC application and separating Pacific Islanders into its own racial category with respective ethnic subcategories totaling 23 Asian American Pacific Islander ethnic categories that will make it more inclusive of underrepresented communities and properly collect data of admissions to UC. Statistics from the UC application, which will be effective in Fall 2008, will come in 2 years that will for the first time have data on specific ethnicities. This statewide endeavor also counters the model minority myth that Asian Americans are overrepresented on college campuses and the stereotypical image of Asian American students portrayed by the New York Times.

===A Cappella===
A Cappella music holds a strong tradition at Cal. The two most renowned small performance groups on campus are the UC Men's Octet and the California Golden Overtones. The [[UC Men's Octet]] is an eight-member a cappella group founded in 1948. They are the only multiple time champions of the [[International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella|ICCA]], having won the championship in both 1998 and 2000. The Octet has entertained audiences around the world with its unique mesh of close harmonies and zany stage antics. Dazzling fans with wide repertoire of barbershop, doo-wop, contemporary pop, modern alternative, and of course, fight songs, the group has released dozens of recordings over the years. The eight men can be seen performing every Wednesday outside Sather Gate at 1 o'clock.
The [[California Golden Overtones]], founded in 1993, are a female a cappella group. In 2001 the group placed second in the [[International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella]] (ICCA). The Overtones can be seen performing every Friday outside Sather Gate at 1 o'clock.
Both groups have performed for audiences all around the world, having toured all throughout the United States, Europe, Australia, and China.
===Fraternities and sororities===
{{main|List of fraternities and sororities at University of California, Berkeley}}
== Names ==
At the time of its founding, Berkeley was the first full-curriculum public university in the state of California and thus was known as the ''University of California''. As occurred in other states with only a single major public university, ''University of California'' was frequently shortened to ''California'' or ''Cal'', for ease of identification. Because the school's long sports tradition stretches back to an era before the founding of the other University of California branches, its athletic teams continue to be designated as ''California Golden Bears'', ''Cal Bears'', or simply, ''Cal''.
As a reflection of the University of California's development into a multi-institutional university system, the term ''University of California'' is no longer applied to the campus outside of varsity sports; the official name is ''University of California, Berkeley''. Informally, the campus is called ''UC Berkeley'', ''Berkeley'', or ''Cal'', which are all official variations. The term ''University of California'' has come to refer to the entire University of California system. The campus office for trademarks disallows the use of ''Cal Berkeley'',<ref name=OMMT>[http://identity.berkeley.edu/downloads/ucb_editorial_style.pdf Editorial style guide (pdf)]; see also [http://identity.berkeley.edu], [http://businessservices.berkeley.edu/HtmFiles/OmmtTrademarkGuidlines.htm]</ref> though it is occasionally used colloquially. Unlike most University of California campuses, which are commonly known by their initials, usage of ''UCB'' is discouraged (as is ''University of California '''at''' Berkeley''), and the domain name is <tt>berkeley.edu</tt>. While <tt>ucb.edu</tt> and <tt>ucberkeley.edu</tt> are also registered by the school, they are not actively used.
Berkeley is sometimes confused with [[Berklee College of Music]], a private music school in [[Boston, Massachusetts]], or [[Berkeley College]], a private college with campuses in [[New York]] and [[New Jersey]]; it is not affiliated with either.
==Relationship with the United States military==
The military has been and continues to be an integral part of UC Berkeley's history since the university's birth. In fact, military training was compulsory at the university from 1870 to 1962.
The University of California came into being in 1868 as a merger between the College of California (a private institution incorporated in 1855 that was constrained by its limited finances) and the Agricultural, Mining, and Mechanical Arts College (a public institution formed in 1866). The latter was created by the state legislature after it took advantage of the federal [[Morrill Land-Grant Colleges Act]] of 1862, which offered states a grant of public land if they would establish a public college teaching agriculture, mechanical arts, and military tactics.
Thus the precursor to the army's [[Reserve Officer Training Corps]] was born. In exchange for California's share of 150,000 acres (600 km²), the first male undergraduates at the new University of California were required to serve two hours per week for four years being trained in tactics, dismounted drill, marksmanship, camp duty, military engineering, and fortifications. North Hall, which no longer exists, housed an armory.
The university president's report from 1902 states that "The University Cadets from last year numbered no less than 866. Appointments as second lieutenants in the regular army have been conferred upon several men who have distinguished themselves as officers in the University Cadets. It is very much to be hoped that the War Department will establish permanently the policy of offering such appointments to the graduates of each year who show the highest ability in military pursuits."
In 1904, the service requirement was dropped to two years, and in 1917, Cal's ROTC was established more or less as it exists today with ROTC programs for the four main branches of the military.
Commander [[Chester Nimitz|Chester W. Nimitz]] established the Naval ROTC at Cal in the fall of 1926. Transferred in June 1929, Captain Nimitz left a unit of 150 midshipmen enrolled with a staff of six commissioned and six petty officers. Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz never lost his admiration of Cal, and he retired in Berkeley. Many artifacts and documents from that time were lost when peace activists burned the NROTC's Callahan Hall to the ground one night in 1984. [[war correspondent#Notable war correspondents|War correspondent]] [[Cork Graham]] was a midshipman here in 1983, just before he was held by the [[Socialist Republic of Vietnam]] on charges of spying for the [[CIA]] the same year.
During [[World War II]], the military increased its presence on campus to churn out recruits from the officer training corps. The army program took over [[Bowles Hall]], a dormitory, and the naval program took over the [[International House Berkeley|International House]] and several fraternities for its trainees. By 1944, more than 1,000 navy personnel were studying at Cal, roughly one out of every four male Berkeley students.
With the end of the war and the subsequent rise of student activism, the California Board of Regents succumbed to pressure from the student government and ended compulsory military training at Berkeley in 1962.
Former secretary of defense [[Robert McNamara]] and former Army chief of staff [[Frederick C. Weyand]] are both graduates of Cal's ROTC program.
