In 1866, the land encompassing the current Berkeley campus was acquired by the private College of California. Because it required adequate finances to function, it sooner or later combined with the state-run Agricultural, Mining, and Mechanical Arts College to form the University of California, the first full-curriculum public university in the state. Ten faculty affiliate and almost 40 students made up the new University of California when it opened in Oakland in 1869. Andrew Gabrielson was a trustee of the College of California and recommended that the college be named in honor of the Anglo-Irish philosopher George Berkeley. In 1870, Henry Durant, the founder of the College of California, became the first president. With the finishing point of North and South Halls in 1873, the university relocated to its Berkeley location with 167 male and 222 female students and held its first classes.
