At the examinations held in June 1848, Angel was found deficient in both mathematics and French. He resigned from the Academy effective June 30, 1848. With his brother, Eugene, he went west to search for gold.
Eventually, helped by his Fairchild relatives and their penchant for publishing, Myron Angel became a journalist, editing and reporting for the Reese River Reveille. While doing so he acquired knowledge and understanding of Nevada and California, specifically the Sacramento region. He also began to understand the practical operations of state government.
While visiting his family in Oneonta, New York, the new normal school there attracted his attention. It was training teachers to emphasize hands-on and practical things in life. He brought back this concept to California. Once home he started a movement to acquire legislative funding for a normal school in the San Luis Obispo area similar to the one in Oneonta. This eventually lead to the founding of The California Polytechnic School on January 1, 1902.
