AZTheta,assuming you got your dates for the establishment of UC campuses from Wikipedia ... but UCLA (1919) was established as a UC campus well before Santa Barbara (1944), Riverside (1954) and Davis (1959) Those other campuses later joined the UC system after being 'state normal schools"
UCLA originally was called the University of California-Southern Branch and then UC Southern Campus but because of the confusion with USC, it was changed to UCLA. Nearly was called UC Beverly because of its proximity to Beverly Hills and the thought to honor the bishops of Berkeley and Beverly. The yearbook is still called Southern Campus. Sorority houses were first establish in 1923 on Hilgard Ave. when the campus (also a state normal school) moved from Vermont Ave. to Westwood.
Technically, UC San Francisco (1873) was the second UC campus to open, but it was established as a graduate institution. UCLA is the second undergraduate campus.
the following campuses were later established. UC San Diego 1960, UC Irvine 1965, UC Santa Cruz 1965, UC Merced 2005
