The La Sierra Campus of Loma Linda University lies in the heart of Southern California on the outskirts of the Riverside metropolis. A cen- tury ago. orange groves covered the Riverside valley. In 1885 Riverside's reputation as the orange growing center of Southem Califomia was assured when the city captured the top gold and silver medals at the New Orleans World's Industrial and Cot- ton Centennial Exposition. Riverside was then referred to as The Greatest Orange Growing City in the World. Riverside's reputation for its orange industry has remained strong over the years. Now, however, amidst the remaining orchards and rolling hills lies a growing city, providing a cultural haven for inland California. Many historical landmarks can be found in Riverside today, providing an important link to Riverside's uni- que heritage. Perhaps the most pro- minent landmark in Riverside is its 1 ef 2 X Riverside 100 year old Mission Inn, now a Na- tional Historical Landmark, which has entertained and lodged thousands of distinguished visitors since its opening as the Glenwood Cottage in 1876. One of the showpieces of River- side's Mission Inn is the marriage altar in the St. Francis Chapel, which was built in 1763 by Spanish workmen for the private chapel ofthe Marquis de Rayas of Guanajuato, Mexico. In the 1930's architect G. Stanley Wilson designed and super- vised construction of the Mission's famous St. Francis Chapel, and its courtyard, home of a copy of the Bac- chus fountain in Prato, Italy. Another imposing landmark is the Riverside County Courthouse, with its Roman Imperial Columns and vaulted roof. The courthouse was designed by a Los Angeles firm, Bur- nham 8L Bliesner, in 1904. The design was a virtual copy, reduced in scale, RI ER ID

River- side's 19th-century Seth Thomas clock is another important historical landmark. This hand-wound clock is located in the magnificent five-block Riverside Mall. and was installed in 1921 by Fisher's Jewelry. Riverside's Convention Center, known as Raincross Square, features plays. concerts, and banquets throughout the year. The growing population of Riverside contributes to this growth of cultural and com- munity events. With its current population of over 750,000, River- side County has been deemed the fastest growing area in the United States. Isolated by acres of farmland, the La Sierra campus rests against the v hills in western Riverside valley. From this location, students have ac- cess to the Riverside area, plus all that Southern California has to offer. A mere 45 minute drive will place La Sierra students on the sandy shores of Newport Beach. An hour's drive in the other direction will lead them to scenic mountain areas and local ski resorts. Just beyond the mountains lies Southem California's Mojave Desert, home of Palm Springs, Joshua Tree, and the Colorado River. La Sierra's ideal Riverside location provides students with an excellent environment in which to grow academically and culturally, as well as plenty of opportunities for free- time enjoyment. The Riverside area is truly a great place to be.
