Editing Henry Huntly Haight (section)

===Legislation===
Haight was the first governor to use the offices in the [[California State Capitol]] in Sacramento. Haight has received credit for signing legislation to create the University of California (UC) and ending subsidies to railroads. On March 23, 1868, he signed the "Organic Act", the legislation creating the [[University of California]], although he had not been involved in its formation. Haight appointed primarily Democrats to the board of regents, and none of the university's predecessors.<ref>{{cite web|title=Theodore Henry Hittel, Chapters III & IV, History of California, Volume 4 |date=1885 |publisher=San Francisco |url=https://archive.org/details/historycaliforn03hittgoog}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=William Warren Ferrier's "Origins and Development of the University of California"}}</ref> A friend credited Haight with ending state subsidies for the railroads during his term as governor.<ref>Henry H.
