Roger Revelle College : ウィキペディア英語版
Revelle College

Revelle College is the oldest residential college at the University of California, San Diego. Founded in 1964, it is named after oceanographer and UCSD founder Roger Revelle. UCSD—and, with it, Revelle College—was founded at the height of the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union. Of the initial class of 181 undergraduate students, all but 30 were science majors. Revelle College remains focused on developing "a well-rounded student who is intellectually skilled and prepared for competition in a complex world."
Revelle's general education requirements are both rigorous and highly structured and attempt to follow the traditions of a classic liberal arts college. Revelle's stated goal of creating "Renaissance scholars" is reflected in their general education requirements, which ensure that a student graduating from the college has experienced a wide array of subjects from a year of calculus to proficiency in a foreign language. Revelle College's core writing course is known as Humanities (HUM), and is a notoriously challenging Western Civilization course that incorporates writing, history and other social science requirements into a five-quarter (1 year) sequence through which students attempt to understand the greater social and literary developments throughout Western culture.
In 2014, the college celebrated its 50th anniversary. The same year, UCSD Housing and Dining opened a new dining commons named "64 Degrees" to replace the old Plaza Cafe and Incredi-Bowls food truck.〔(Reimagined student dining facility opens at UCSD )〕
== History ==

Much of Revelle College's initial history mirrors that of UC San Diego itself, as the development of the first undergraduate college was instrumental in founding the university. Revelle College was actually established as the Institute of Technology and Engineering in 1958. The Institute, soon renamed to the School of Science and Engineering, was initially housed at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and headed by Roger Revelle. A planned 99 faculty were to instruct 450 graduate students in earth sciences, biology, physics, chemistry, engineering, and mathematics. Roger Revelle and several recently recruited professors, including Keith Brueckner, James R. Arnold, and David Bonner, began to aggressively recruit professors from across the country to their new university. In 1961, construction began on the first permanent building at the new campus. Buildings A and B, now Urey Hall and Mayer Hall respectively, housed laboratories, office space, and lecture halls. They were completed and inaugurated in 1963.
Later in 1963, Chancellor Herbert York began to implement the 1959 master plan as visualized by Revelle, Arnold, and University of California President Clark Kerr.〔 The plan called for the creation of twelve loosely related undergraduate colleges, the first of which York formed by renaming the School of Science and Engineering to simply The First College. Simultaneously, York created the Division of Letters and Science to handle the nascent university's academics; this division would house the original departments of physics, chemistry, and biological sciences, as well as the recently formed departments of philosophy and literature. The first undergraduates enrolled in late 1964.〔
The First College continued to grow to accommodate increasing undergraduate and graduate enrollment at the university. In early 1965, the Regents of the University of California voted to rename the college in Roger Revelle's honor. Revelle had recently resigned his posts as UCSD Dean of Research and SIO Director to become director of the Center for Population Studies at Harvard University. Revelle College remains the only undergraduate college at UCSD named for a living honoree.
By the start of the 1965-1966 school year, Revelle College had grown to loosely resemble the modern campus, surrounding a central plaza. The completion of the sixth academic building, Building F (now York Hall), marked the end of its growth and the beginning of the establishment of John Muir College. In addition to a library in Building E (Galbraith Hall), the college was equipped to house 440 undergraduates in the newly constructed Fleet residence halls. An 800-seat cafeteria, the Plaza Cafe, was constructed to replace the canteen in the basement of Building C (Mayer Hall). Blake and Argo Halls were added in 1968.
