University of California- Berkeley
| "The roots of the University of California go back to the gold rush days of 1849, when the drafters of the State Constitution, a group of vigorous and farsighted people, required the legislature to ""encourage by all suitable means the promotion of intellectual, scientific, moral and agricultural improvement"" of the people of California. California had few families in 1849 and few children to educate, but these early planners dreamed of a university which eventually, ""if properly organized and conducted, would contribute even more than California's gold to the glory and happiness of advancing generations."" Today, Berkeley's academic departments consistently rank among the top five in the country. The faculty, renowned for both teaching and scholarship, includes eight Nobel Laureates and 19 MacArthur Fellows."

University of Michigan- Ann Arbor (UofM)

It was first established on 1,920 acres of land ceded by the Ojibwa, Ottawa, Potawatomi and Shawnee people ""...for a college at Detroit."" The school moved from Detroit to Ann Arbor in 1837, when Ann Arbor was only 13 years old. The city had a booming population of 2,000, a courthouse and jail, a bank, four churches and two mills. It had been established in 1824 by two Easterners, John Allen and Elisha Rumsey. The town was named to honor the wives of the founders, Mary Ann Rumsey and Ann Allen, and the natural arbor created by the massive oaks in the area.
