Arm & Crest COGSWELL
COLLEGE
Cogswell College was established in
San Francisco in 1888 after endowment by Dr. Henry Daniel Cogswell
(Jameson #1656), a wealthy dentist. Dr. Cogswell, born in
Connecticut in 1819, came to California during the 1849 goldrush
after having learned dentistry and first practiced in Providence,
Rhode Island. The school originated as a high school, offering
technical education for boys and business courses for girls. In 1930
it became a technical institution offering a college-level two-year
program. The College became a four—year institution in 1972 and
currently offers Bachelor of Science degrees in Engineering
Technology in the fields of Electronics, Mechanical, Civil, and
Computer Engineering. It also offers courses leading to Bachelor of
Science degrees in Fire Safety Administration and Fire Prevention
Technology. The College has been located variously in
the San Francisco Bay Area during the years as its role has
developed. In 1985 it moved from Nob Hill in San Francisco to
Cupertino (near Palo Alto and San Jose, in Silicon Valley) to be
close to the industries it serves. Enrollment at Cupertino
approximates 300, and an increase to 800 is planned for the early
1990s.
