Scope and Content of Collection
The files of the Earl Warren College, Dean's Office, document the development and responsibilities of UC San Diego's Fourth
College academic and student life programming and planning. Important records of particular note are the academic planning
proposals for the establishment of the curriculum and degree requirements, 1969-1974. Files document the functions and activities
of the office, including the development of new academic programs, student and faculty organizations, budget planning, and
student government affairs. Also included are the proposals reports for the academic internship program (AIP) and the women
student's assessment program.
The records are arranged in three series: 1) SUBJECT FILES, 2) PHOTOGRAPHS, and 3) PUBLICATIONS.
Opened in 1974 and designated as Fourth College, Earl Warren College was named, after the three term California Governor and
former Chief Justice of the United States Earl Warren, in October of 1993. "Warren College is committed to helping its students
gain the intellectual, social, and decision-making skills necessary to assume responsible global citizenship." The first
dean of Warren College was Gary Frost (1974-1978).
Originally, the Dean's Office was jointly appointed between Academic Affairs and Student Affairs. Currently, the college
is divided into two separate offices with academic and student affairs; the academic advising programs are under the academic
affairs wing, while the Office of Student Affairs is responsible for student programming, as well as the residence life program.
The Dean's Office primary role is to provide students with a broad range of opportunities for development, establish an identity
to the greater college community, and help facilitate communication between the University administration, faculty, and the
student. Warren College specifically focuses on experimental education and individual growth and change.
