In August 1882, the [[California State Normal School]] (whose original [[normal school]] in [[San Jose, California|San Jose]] is now [[San Jose State University]]) opened a second school in Los Angeles to train teachers for the growing population of Southern California.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sjsu.edu/about_sjsu/history/timeline/1880/ |title=San José State University: About SJSU: 1880–1899 |publisher=San José State University |access-date=May 3, 2013 |archive-date=July 12, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130712123706/http://www.sjsu.edu/about_sjsu/history/timeline/1880/ |url-status=live }}</ref> In 1887, the Los Angeles school was granted its own board of trustees independent of the San Jose school, and in 1919, the state legislature transferred it to UC control and renamed it the Southern Branch of the University of California.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.library.ucla.edu/libraries/special/scweb/archives.htm |title=UCLA Library Special Collections / University Archives Home Page |access-date=June 20, 2006 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060615035434/http://www.library.ucla.edu/libraries/special/scweb/archives.htm |archive-date=June 15, 2006 }}</ref> In 1927, it became the [[University of California, Los Angeles|University of California at Los Angeles]]; the "at" would be replaced with a comma in 1958.<ref name="Dundjerski">{{cite book |last1=Dundjerski |first1=Marina |title=UCLA: The First Century |date=2011 |publisher=Third Millennium Publishing |location=Los Angeles |isbn=9781906507374 |page=46 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WbLr-4QteEYC&pg=PA46 |access-date=February 3, 2019 |archive-date=September 27, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230927174250/https://books.google.com/books?id=WbLr-4QteEYC&pg=PA46#v=onepage&q&f=false |url-status=live }}</ref>

Los Angeles surpassed San Francisco in the [[1920 United States Census|1920 census]] to become the most populous metropolis in California. Because Los Angeles had become the state government's single largest source of both tax revenue and votes, its residents felt entitled to demand more prestige and autonomy for their campus. Their efforts bore fruit in March 1951, when UCLA became the first UC site outside of Berkeley to achieve ''de jure'' coequal status with the Berkeley campus. That month, the regents approved a reorganization plan under which both the Berkeley and Los Angeles campuses would be supervised by chancellors reporting to the UC president.<ref name="Stadtman2">{{cite book |last1=Stadtman |first1=Verne A. |title=The University of California, 1868–1968 |url=https://archive.org/details/universityofcali00stad |url-access=registration |date=1970 |publisher=McGraw-Hill |location=New York |pages=[https://archive.org/details/universityofcali00stad/page/355 355–358] }}</ref><ref name="MargaretLeslieDavis">{{cite book |last1=Davis |first1=Margaret Leslie |title=The Culture Broker: Franklin D.

Due to stubborn resistance from President Sproul and several vice presidents and deans—who simply carried on as before—the chancellors ended up as glorified [[Provost (education)|provosts]] with limited control over academic affairs and long-range planning while the president and the regents retained ''de facto'' control over everything else.<ref name="ClarkKerr2">{{cite book |last1=Kerr |first1=Clark |title=The Gold and the Blue: A Personal Memoir of the University of California, 1949–1967, Volume 1 |date=2001 |publisher=University of California Press |location=Berkeley |isbn=9780520223677 |pages=39–55 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jMEZ_47vXkAC&pg=PA39 |access-date=February 3, 2019 |archive-date=September 5, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240905060934/https://books.google.com/books?id=jMEZ_47vXkAC&pg=PA39#v=onepage&q&f=false |url-status=live }}</ref>
