Notable scientists who accepted his invitation include Paul Dirac, Erwin Schrdinger, Werner Heisenberg, Hendrik Lorentz and Niels Bohr. [109] Caltech received $144million in federal funding for the physical sciences, $40.8million for the life sciences, $33.5million for engineering, $14.4million for environmental sciences, $7.16million for computer sciences, and $1.97million for mathematical sciences in 2008. The California Institute of Technology (branded as Caltech or CIT) is a private research university in Pasadena, California. Caltech will ensure that students who forego initial house affiliation receive housing in one of our unaffiliated housing options, Marks/Braun or Bechtel.

It was rumored that Harvey Mudd would attempt to steal the cannon again in 2006 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their original theft; however, the cannon disappeared on March 28, a day before the anniversary, only to show up at MIT, just in time for Campus Preview Weekend, during which many rising freshmen visit MIT. The prank involved making The Cube sculpture look like the Aperture Science Weighted Companion Cube from the video game Portal.[135].

Caltech-owned housing that is not part of any of the eight houses is known as "off-campus" housing, even if it is actually physically located on the Caltech campus (non-Caltech owned housing is called "off-off-campus" or "off-squared"). Rotation is available only during the first year and cannot be deferred; however, individual house membership remains available throughout a student's career. They ranged from RAs to members of my house, to faculty and grad students, she says.
