iCLA ' s Main Quadrangle, known to Bruins as the quad which houses Royce Hall, Powell Library, Haines Hall, and Kinsey Hall, has had a rich and in- teresting history. The four buildings were the first to be erected at GCLA, known in 1927 as the University of California Southern Branch. Behind the construction project were two architects-George W. Kelham and David Allison. The most famous edifice in the quad was Royce Hall, which has become a UCLA landmark and symbol. Powell Library also shared an integral part of the UCLA tradition. Upon its com- pletion in 1929, the building was desig- nated UCLA ' s main library. Today it houses a large portion of UCLA ' s more than four million volumes. The quad ' s third member, Kinsey Hall, was originally declared the physics-biology building. Architect Allison adopted a Romanesque style for Kinsey, including stone carvings and inscriptions, one of which aptly described the UCLA experi- ence: nothing is too wonderful to be true. The fourth corner of our quad was oc- cupied by the stately Haines Hall, the origi- nal chemistry building. The first lecture at UCLA was held here prior to the delayed official opening of the campus. The feeling that the quad has generated in Bruins throughout time was best stated by Dr. Moore in 1929, Our buildings will always be vital. As the sun plays upon them, and as the days go by they will become mellower and more humanly responsive until, in time, no university will be more beautiful. -Carrie Conn Quad History 21
