In the 1930s research on campus burgeoned in nuclear physics, chemistry, and biology, leading to the development of the first cyclotron by Ernest O. Lawrence, the isolation of the human polio virus, and the discovery of a string of elements heavier than uranium. Twenty members of the Berkeley faculty have been awarded Nobel Prizes for these and subsequent discoveries, as well as in literature and economics, for liberal arts kept pace with physical sciences. In 1966 Berkeley was recognized by the American Council on Education as "the best balanced distinguished university in the country." [http://www.berkeley.edu/about/history/]

In the 1960's UCB was the epicenter of the California [[counter culture]] movement. [[Ronald Reagan]] rightly admonished the schools lack of morals and proper conduct in a 1966 speech when he was campaigning for governor of [[California]].<ref>http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2004/06/08_reagan.shtml</ref> Today the school is currently the highest ranked [[public university]] in the country, but the fact that despite it's massive influx of state [[government]] money  it consistently is outperformed by private schools like it's rival [[Stanford]] is considered by many education experts to be definitive proof of the supremacy of [[private education]].

While it may have been balanced in its courses, today Berkeley is best known for its professors' well known leftist biases.
