San Diego State College!

San Diego State College
Landmark #798 San Diego County Visited: January 26, 2014 Plaque?  YES! 🙂
What is it? A plaque for the college campus in California to confer a doctorate degree!
What makes it historical? THE GUIDE SAYS: Under the Master Plan for Higher Education adopted in 1960, the colleges in the newly established California College System were given degrees with the University of California, and independent degrees to individuals who have made unusual contributions toward learning and civilization. San Diego State College was the first of the California State Colleges to do so when, on June 7, 1963 it conferred an honorary doctorate upon the late President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
