I first started attending CSUSB in 1968. There were more students in my high school graduating class than there were at Cal State. There were only four buildings on campus; the rest was desert, including mountain lion and rattlesnake encounters on the way to class. There was a schematic in front of President Pfau's office showing what the campus would be like someday. We would laugh when we walked by it, and would say, "Right, that'll happen." - Kent S.
