The College of California was a private college in Oakland, California. It was the functional predecessor of the public University of California, and the site of its first campus. It was established in 1853, and initially known as the Contra Costa Academy. In 1868, the College agreed to merge with the public Agricultural, Mining, and Mechanical Arts College, which had been created by the state to take advantage of the Morrill Land-Grant Act. However, the private and public colleges ended up contributing assets and objectives to the new public university, which was formed as a new entity and was not an actual merger.
