The board of trustees offered to turn Throop over to the state, but the presidents of Stanford University and the University of California successfully lobbied to defeat the bill, which allowed Throop to develop as the only scientific research-oriented education institute in southern California, public or private, until the onset of the World War II necessitated the broader development of research-based science education. [144] In recent years, the Student Affairs Office has also taken up pursuing investigations independently of the Board of Control and Conduct Review Committee, an implicit violation of both the honor code and written disciplinary policy that has contributed to further erosion of trust between some parts of the undergraduate community and the administration.[145]. [105] Caltech was elected to the Association of American Universities in 1934 and remains a research university with "very high" research activity, primarily in STEM fields. [44], Since 2012, Caltech began to offer classes through massive open online courses (MOOCs) under Coursera, from 2013, edX. sbarrett@caltech.edu Graduate students are bound by the honor code, as are the undergraduates, and the Graduate Honor Council oversees any violations of the code. Rather than painting over it, Pageboys simply painted a "U" below it. [].

In high school, Maples had tried to get a summer job at an oil company that recruited male interns from her chemistry class. [59], Caltech is a small four-year, highly residential research university with slightly more students in graduate programs than undergraduate. Caltech students have been known for their many pranks (also known as "RFs").[133]. Murray Gell-Mann, a Nobel-winning physicist, introduced a classification of hadrons and went on to postulate the existence of quarks, which is currently accepted as part of the Standard Model. Although both policies are presented in the Honor System Handbook given to new members of the Caltech community, some undergraduates regard them as a slight against the honor code and the implicit trust and respect it represents within the community.

[155], Undergraduate alumni founded, or co-founded, companies such as LCD manufacturer Varitronix,[156] Hotmail,[157] Compaq,[158] MathWorks (which created Matlab),[159] and database provider Imply,[160] while graduate students founded, or co-founded, companies such as Intel,[161] TRW,[162] and the non-profit educational organization, the Exploratorium.[163]. It also used its access to the basement so that Pageboys could cover the concrete with dry ice, a prank copied in the movie Real Genius. *The Women in STEM LLC welcomes all women and female-identifying students, including cisgender, genderqueer, trans women and non-binary individuals. [9][10][11] The university is known for its strength in science and engineering, and is among a small group of institutes of technology in the United States which is primarily devoted to the instruction of pure and applied sciences. Our system is made up of eight distinct houses (Avery, Blacker, Dabney, Fleming, Lloyd, Page, Ricketts, Venerable) that all are part of the important social and cultural fabric of the undergraduate experience. [27] In 1923, Millikan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. Each is comprised of single rooms with shared bathrooms, and a small number of 2-bedroom suites (2 single rooms that share a bathroom).

[153] Astronomer Eugene Merle Shoemaker (BS 1947, MS 1948) co-discovered Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 (a comet which crashed into the planet Jupiter) and was the first person buried on the Moon (by having his ashes crashed into the Moon).
