The Benjamin Ide Wheeler Society

The Benjamin Ide Wheeler Society

The Wheeler Society is named for Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president of the university from 1899 to 1919. President Wheeler transformed Berkeley from a small western public university to one of the most distinguished centers of learning in the nation. He was also responsible for arranging the first life income gift to the University of California — a charitable trust from Jane K. Sather, the remainder of which built the Campanile.
