  2. This stadium is the predecessor to the current Ted Runner Stadium on the University of Redlands campus, which was opened for the 1968 season
  3. The athletic teams for Claremont-Mudd-Scripps did not include Scripps College prior to 1980.
  4. What is now known as the Pomona-Pitzer football team was known as Pomona College in 1962. Pitzer College did not exist until 1963.
  5. Alliant International University was formed in 2001 via the merger of United States International University (USIU) and California School of Professional Psychology. USIU had been known as California Western University (Cal Western) from 1952 to 1967.
gollark: The fusion plant made several billion RF/t or something, but this never actually ended up being used anywhere since everyone involved in the project had their own dedicated fusion reactors.
gollark: That's cool, though OC 3D printing can do the same sort of thing.
gollark: This is pretty neat. Built on a server, it's a very overdone fusion plant I built with someone else.
gollark: I prefer NuclearCraft fusion.
gollark: I actually managed to get a fusion reactor and full self-sustaining setup down to fit in a 10x8x10 cube for space applications.
