The California Aggie was first published in 1915 as the "Weekly Agricola" after its approval by the Associated Student Executive Committee. At this point, UC Davis was considered the university farm, an extension of
UC Berkeley . Students from UC Berkeley's paper, "The Daily Californian ", advised the "Weekly Agricola" during its beginning months.

Novelist
Jack London was one of the first readers of the "Weekly Agricola". In 1922, it was renamed to match the school's athletic name. [ [http://www.ucdavis.edu/spotlight/1006/aggie_early_years.html UC Davis: Spotlight: Student news since 1915 ] ]Today, the Aggie has the largest print distribution in
