<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">History</span></h3>
<p>In 1944, after the passage of the GI bill during World War 2, a local group of citrus growers and civic leaders from near Box Spring Mountains lobbied aggressively for a liberal arts college next to the CES. The bill was signed in 1949, allocating $2 million for the initial construction of the campus. The college opened on February 14, 1954. The opening of the college had 65 faculty and 127 students, averaging less than 2 students per faculty. By 1958, UCR's enrolment had exceeded 1000 students. Foreseeing the explosive growth in student population, the campus was expanded from a capacity of 1500 students to a capacity of 5000 students. In the 1990s, UCR experienced another surge of enrollment applications. The 1997 implementation of proposition 209, while reducing the ethnic diversity of other universities, increased it in UCR. With UCR scheduled for dramatic population growth, efforts have been made to increase its popular and academic recognition.</p>
