[Raiu io San Josr dc Ihnnns .lyiis offered a tiindseape ix-ett adapted to the areh ' ilecture of Lom]tardy. ;g[rchitcctural Inspiration of T Pestwood X THE spring of 1923 a iirruip of citizens of the State (if California, headed by Re- j;ent Edward Dickson, jour- iu- ed to the Wolfskill Ranch, ten miles west of Los Angeles, and standing knee deep in wav- ing fields of wild grain, broken in the foreground by oaks, and framed in the distance by the high Sierras, resolved to obtain if possible a new campus for the University of California at Los Angeles among these hills. On September 2, 1927, Director Moore turned the first shovel full of earth that broke ground for the creation of the new site for the institution. Q. When Westwood was chosen after much careful de- liberation from among the many sites offered, it was evident that Fate had kept this vast tract unoccupied for nearly fifty years, in spite of the attempted encroachment of progress, for Rancho San Jose de Buenos Ayres offered a perfect .set- ting upon which to create in great unimpeded glory the physical design of the University. Per- haps it was merely coincidental that such land- scape was t pically characteristic of the prov- inces of Lombardy and of Northern Italy. Q. As the site of the University at Westwood is truly representative of the ideals and aspirations for which the people of California have struggled, so are the buildings on this site representative, but of an even greater heritage, for the ideals of centuries, rather than of decades, have deter- mined the form and design of these structures. While the architects, David C. Allison, design- er of Royce Hall, the designer of the Library, George W. Kelham, the decorator, Julian E. Cjarnsey, and the many others identified with the conception and construction of the buildings have realized the importance of delving into the past for spiritual inspiration, they have at the same time created something genuinely new, not merely presented a reincarnation of a past age. Such has resulted in a symbol of the true spirit of the university ' , a recognition of the worth and beauty of things of the past, and a realization of the alue of the living present. CI. An enduring edifice is being created which will ever recall to the student the progress of his precursors in the field of education, and his obligation to scholars of the past. : i ! S. [18]
