Classes in education at the university were start- ed during the 1890 ' s. In 1909, a sepa- rate Department of Education was formed, and in 1918 the School of Education was established. For decades the School of Educa- tion was located in USC ' s Bovard Ad- ministration Building. Through the beneficence of the late Waite Phillips in 1968, the Waite Phillips Hall of Eduaction was erected. In 1973, through the gift of an anonymous do- nor, the USC School of Early Child- hood Education was established near campus. These establishments, along with the Education Library, the Na- tional Charity League-USC Reading Center, and other facilities made available, through cooperative ar- rangements with a variety of special- ized clinics, support the diverse programs of activities and curriculum of the school. In addition to the Los Angeles campus, there are graduate study centers in education in several California cities, Hawaii, five different sites in Europe, and four in the Ori- ent. The School of Education at USC prepares teachers, counselors, re- searchers, administrators, and curri- cular specialists to assume leadership within the spectrum of educational institutions in other nations, as well as America. by Lisa Mock Top: Future students for future teachers.
