<p>I don’t know the exact history of the U.C’s but according to a wikipedia reading last year </p>
<p>i quote “he University of California’s second president, Daniel Coit Gilman, opened the Berkeley campus in September 1873. Earlier that year, Toland Medical College in San Francisco had agreed to become the University’s “Medical Department”; it later evolved into UCSF.”</p>
<p>[University</a> of California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_California]University”>University of California - Wikipedia)</p>
<p>If you also notice UC Berkley has no medical program which is what really hurts it in national . rankings along with endowments being a public school</p>
<p>[Colleges</a> & schools - UC Berkeley](<a href=“http://berkeley.edu/academics/school.shtml]Colleges”>Schools & colleges - University of California, Berkeley)</p>
<p>If you combined UCB and UCSF which are basically two doors down from each other then it would easily be number one ranked if i recall correctly. Just look at the two schools mascots “Bears and Golden Bears”</p>
