Cal Aggie Alumni Association

Graduates of the University Farm School formed an alumni association in 1912, but the group's activities were sporadic until 1930, when a Davis chapter of the California Alumni Association at UC Berkeley was formally chartered. During the 1930s, Davis alumni held regular gatherings throughout the state and were instrumental in establishing student scholarship and loan programs as well as helping the campus develop in tandem with California's growing agricultural industry.
Alumni activities temporarily ceased during World War II, resuming after students returned in 1946. That fall the student government and the alumni association jointly sponsored the first Homecoming on campus in five years. In 1947 the Davis chapter officially became the Cal Aggie Alumni Association (CAAA), with Registrar Howard Schontz `41, serving as secretary. The chapter threw its energies into fund-raising for the 1955 Memorial Union to commemorate the dozens of Aggie lives lost in military service and to provide a center for student activities.
