Center of campus activity, flanked by flashing fountains and spacious patios, stands the beautiful Doheny Memorial Library building, dedicated in 1932 by Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid, now chancellor of the university. Financed by funds provided by the Edward L. Doheny family, the physical beauty of the building is accentuated by marble staircases, glittering chan- deliers, and rare woods used in its construction. The modern structure has a capacity of 500,000 volumes, as well as study halls, reference and periodical departments, and the Graduate School of Library Science. A mecca for students seeking study, research, or pleasure, the University Library is truly the hub of campus intellectual activity.
