SACRAMENTO — Fed up with tuition increases and frustrated by rejection at packed California universities, more high school graduates than ever are leaving the state to attend college.

Enrollment of Californians at Boise State rose tenfold in the past decade. Arizona State doubled its enrollment of freshmen from California. The University of Oregon has quadrupled it, with freshman enrollment from California growing from 280 in 2000 to 1,100 in 2010.

From Wikipedia:
Varina Banks Howell Davis (May 7, 1826 – October 16, 1906) was an American author who is best known as the second wife of President Jefferson Davis and the First Lady of the Confederate States of America.

Varina Banks Howell was born at Natchez, Mississippi, the daughter of William Burr Howell and Margaret L. Kempe. Her father was from a distinguished family in New Jersey: his father Richard Howell served several terms as Governor of New Jersey and died when William was a boy. His mother was a relative of Jonathan Edwards and Aaron Burr. As a young woman, Varina attended school in Philadelphia and got to know many of her northern Howells family; she carried on a lifelong correspondence with some, and called herself a "half-breed" for her connections in both regions.
