摘要:The seed that grew into the University of California, San Diego, (UCSD ) was planted early in the twentieth century when William E. Ritter (1856-1944), a zoologist at Berkeley, honeymooned in San Diego and decided that this would be a great place for a marine biology field station. He and Dr. Fred Baker, a well-known local surgeon and conchologist, approached newspaper magnate E.W. Scripps and his halfsister, Ellen Browning Scripps, both of whom committed to providing financial support.1
