History[edit]

Graduating class, State Normal School at San Francisco, June 1906

19th Century[edit]

In 1857, the San Francisco Board of Education created the San Francisco Weekly Normal School,[13][14]also known as the Minns' Evening Normal School.[15]In 1862, it became theCalifornia State Normal School,the first postsecondary institution established by the state.[14]Only six students were enrolled on its first day. By 1866, enrollment had increased to 384.[16]

In 1867, the principal of Girls' High School and Normal School, Ellis Holmes, realized that the California State Normal School was not meeting the demand for teachers. The city approved the addition of a new year-long teacher-training program to his high school's curriculum, for girls who wanted to pursue a career in education. This program is what would eventually become San Francisco State University. When the California State Normal School was moved to San José in 1871, Girls' High became the only publicly-supported teacher-training institution.[16]

In 1895, the teaching program was split from the school and became San Francisco City Normal School.[16]Due to a lack of funding, the school closed in 1898.[13]A group of teachers, students, and supporters pressured the California State Legislature to convert it into a state-funded institution.[16]

On March 22, 1899,[17]the California State Legislature approved the creation of theSan Francisco State Normal School,with an appropriation of $10,000. Frederic Lister Burk was appointed as the first president and chose the school's motto,Experientia Docet.[18]The school rented[16]space in a building on Powell Street between Clay and Sacramento Streets and 31 women were enrolled in the first year.[19][20]

20th Century[edit]

The1906 earthquake and fireforced the school to relocate fromNob Hillto a temporary campus at the Grant School in Oakland.[20]Ten days after the earthquake, President Burk found a new site for the school at a property bound by Laguna, Haight, Buchanan and Hermann Streets.[16][21]

In 1921, the school began offering Bachelor's degree options and was renamedSan Francisco State Teachers College.[16][22]Teachers Colleges in California received authorization to grant Bachelor of Arts degrees in 1923.[14]

In 1924, construction for new buildings started on vacant land at the school's site. The campus consisted of fourSpanish Colonial Revivalstyle buildings designed by George McDougall, a California state architect.[23][24]

In the 1930s, overcrowding became an issue at the campus. It had been designed for 1500 students, but had to accommodate about 3000. In 1938, students rallied for a new campus with non-wooden buildings, due to fears from the city'searthquake and fire in 1906.[25][20]By 1939, land nearLake Mercedhad been acquired to build a new campus, but plans were paused due to World War II. Many students took part in the war, causing enrollment to decline.[26]

During the 1920s and '30s, State Teachers Colleges expanded beyond being only vocational schools to train teachers. They were formally authorized to offer four-year liberal arts curriculums and renamed State Colleges in 1935.[27]So, the school became known asSan Francisco State College.[22]

In 1949, master's degrees were authorized to be offered.[10]

San Francisco State College became part of theCalifornia State Collegesystem established under the Donahoe Higher Education Act in 1960.[16]Dumke resigned to become the system's vice chancellor for academic affairs, before becoming the second chancellor of the system for 20 years.

In Fall 1965, the Experimental College was started by students Cynthia Carlson, Donna Michaelson, Sharon Gold, and James Nixon, in an effort to teach untraditionally. In 1927, over 2000 students enrolled in courses offered by the Experimental College.[16]The original Experimental College stopped operating after 1969.[28]

On November 6, 1967, James Vaszko, the campus editor of the Gater, the student newspaper at the time, was assaulted by members of theBlack Student Union.[29]This event became known as the Gater Incident.[30][31]

In 1967, 1968, and 1969, there were many demonstrations, including theThird World Liberation Front strikeat SF State, longest student strike in American history, which lasted from November 6, 1968 to March 20, 1969.

Also in 1969,Richard Oakesled a group of SF State students in theoccupation of Alcatraz Island[20]And a 763-bed, 15-story dorm building, Verducci Hall, was built near Lake Merced Boulevard.[26]

In 1972, the State Colleges system was designated "The California State University and Colleges." As a result, SF State was renamedCalifornia State University, San Francisco.[14]This name was not popular with students, and the university was soon renamedSan Francisco State Universityin 1974.[16]

In 2013, the Science Building was found to have "unsafe levels" of airborne mercury, lead and asbestos in the basement. Over $3.6 million was spent for remediation of the pervasive contamination. University administration terminated several employees who reported the contamination, resulting in several wrongful termination and whistle-blower lawsuits, including one by the recently hired director. In July 2014, Cal/OSHAcited the university for various health and safety violations in the Science Building, which included SFSU failing to locate asbestos in the building and warn employees about the hazards of mercury.[42][43]

In March 2016, avideo of a student being attacked for having dreadlockswent viral and sparked discussions aboutcultural appropriation.[44][45]

Hundreds of students walked out and rallied at SF State's Malcolm X Plaza on October 25, 2023.

In response to the College ofEthnic Studiesbeing underfunded since 2008, four students held a ten-dayhunger strikefrom May 2–11, 2016, resulting in one hospitalization. The strike ended when PresidentLeslie Wongagreed to commit nearly $500,000 to the college and meet a portion of their demands.[46]

The Experimental College was revived in Fall 2017. One-unit courses are created and taught by students.[28][47]

Also in 2017, a group of Jewish students and local residents accused SFSU of encouragingantisemitismand excluding Jewish student pro-Israel activist groups from campus activities.[48][49][50]The students filed two lawsuits focusing on the disruption of a speech by Jerusalem mayor Nir Barkat in 2016. One suit was dismissed and the other was settled.

In May 2019,Lynn Mahoneybecame the first woman to become president of SF State in a permanent capacity.[51]Mary Ward had served as an acting president in the summer of 1927, after the death of Archibald Anderson.[52]

Mascot[edit]

In the early 20th century, collegiate sports at SFSU became more popular, creating a need for a team name, and the search for a mascot started in 1921.[202]The university's newspaper at the time, the Bay Leaf, asked for suggestions for a mascot.[203]Students suggested an alligator named "Golden Gater" in reference to theGolden Gate.[204][205]Students voted in favor of the name and the alligator choice was finalized in 1931,[202]but after numerous misspellings by the newspaper, use of "Golden Gator" stuck.[206]In the beginning, two female students were chosen each year as alligator mascots.[202]The mascot's name was eventually shortened to the Gator.[205]In 2023, the Gator became Alli Gator and was redesigned.[207]

J. Paul Leonard Library[edit]

Named after the university's fourth president, the J. Paul Leonard Library houses a collection that includes government documents, maps, sound and visual recordings, in addition to books.[232]Approximately 75% of the library's circulating collection is stored in its 45-foot-talllibrary retrieval system,which was installed between 2008 and 2012, when the library building underwent a renovation and expansion, adding more than 140,000 square feet; also, the addition of the system, which can store approximately a million items, removed the need forbook stacks,freeing up space for other uses.[233][234][235]

The library building was constructed in three phases in 1953, 1959 and 1971 and used to only house the J. Paul Leonard Library. After the expansion and renovation, the Sutro Library was moved to the fifth and sixth floors of the building.[233][236]

It was formally given to California State Library in 1913, and opened to the public in 1917.[237]Notably, half of the Sutro collection survived the "Great Fire" after theSan Francisco earthquake of 1906.[238][239]Collection highlights include 125,000 rare books, antiquarian maps, and archival collections, as well as a genealogical library.

Inspired by Ali's group, the Associated Students Board of Directors voted to hireTravie McCoyfor a performance, but couldn't afford his booking fees after one of his songs was used inGlee.Ali proposed a three-day music festival instead and it was approved.[40][252]The first festival took place in March 2011.[40]
