The private school was founded as the Chaffey College of Agriculture of the [[University of Southern California]];<ref name=USCChaffey>[http://www.chaffey.org/alumni/fasti/editorials/1917_editorial.html "History of Chaffey" (Taken from the 1917 FASTI Yearbook)], Chaffey High School, November 27, 2005, accessed May 14, 2012.</ref> USC, also a private university, had been founded three years earlier in nearby [[Los Angeles]]. The [[cornerstone]] of the new school was laid on March 17, 1883, at Fourth and Euclid in Ontario; it opened on October 15, 1885. The original institution included a [[secondary school]] and was run by USC until 1901. During this period, Chaffey's football team had a 1–1 series with the young [[University of Southern California Trojans football|USC football team]], winning 32–6 in 1893 and losing 38–0 in 1897.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/div_ia/pac10/southern_california/yearly_results.php?year%3D1890 |title=Southern California Game by Game Results |access-date=2006-11-02 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061030020754/http://www.cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/div_ia/pac10/southern_california/yearly_results.php?year=1890 |archive-date=2006-10-30 }}</ref> [[File:Chaffeybuilding.jpg|Student Services Administration Building|thumb|right]] Financial troubles forced the school to close in 1901. The building was taken over by the city and became the home of Ontario High School (now [[Chaffey High School]]). In 1906 the Chaffey endowment was legally separated from USC and reorganized to benefit the newly created [[Chaffey Joint Union High School District|Chaffey Union High School District]]. When Ontario High school opened to students from [[Upland, California|Upland]] in 1911, its present name was adopted. In 1916, the Chaffey Junior College of Agriculture was added as a postgraduate department to the high school. The school's buildings were renovated and additional buildings added during the [[New Deal]]. A separate junior college district was created in 1922 and in 1957 bonds were approved in support of a complete separation of the high school and college facilities. The current location in Rancho Cucamonga opened in the spring of 1960. The college's mascot is the Panther. The Measure L bond provides up to $230 million in bonds during a 10-year period for the Facilities Master Plan. Off-site campuses in [[Fontana, California|Fontana]] and [[Chino, California|Chino]] are also part of this master plan, with a new Fontana campus and Chino campus. The college remains open while undergoing construction, except for occasional diversions in traffic and parking. == Academics == Chaffey offers [[associate degree]]s and occupational certificates.<ref name="CC Counseling">{{cite web|title=Counseling Department|url=http://www.chaffey.edu/counseling/degree.shtml|publisher=Chaffey College|access-date=2013-03-18}}</ref> Chaffey offers one of the oldest aviation programs in the United States. == Sports == The college athletic teams are nicknamed the Panthers.
