This book explores the reasons for the unfortunate circumstance, starting with the Spanish exploration of the West Coast and a name derived from the literary island of California.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tale of California State unfolds when later, after successive rebellions, the modern State of California was established, and the California Legislature created the California State Normal School in 1862.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter moving to San Jose in 1871 the original Cal State campus spawned other campuses which became the California State Colleges, and later the CSU. But over the years the founding campus itself gradually devolved from its grand original statewide \"California State\" identity to its current provincial \"San Jose State\" name, degrading not only that campus but the entire CSU system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpanning almost 500 years, this book tells the fascinating story of this devolution and the struggle to restore the original California State together with its history, identity and symbols for the benefit of the State of California, the CSU system, and its founding campus in San Jose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Harold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e California State Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780615833231\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMichael Harold, a native of Toronto, Canada, is former professional journalist and attorney who currently lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and makes his living as a Director of Marketing.
