• ' - v « ♦ ,x SCULPTURE and cut from a few of tfie many campus collections ore considered priceless. Priceless Art Graces Our Campus Our campus is not just build- ings and classrooms, grass and trees. It is a wondrous place where many strange and fascinating things can be found if one is eager enough to look. A day or a week would not be time enough to view the works of art stored within the University ' s many walls. Original paintings from the world over grace the walls of the library, Mudd Hall, and the Administration Building. Statues, ce- ramics, antiques, and archaeological findings are a stone ' s throw from the Student Union. Such places of interest as the Fisher Fine Arts Gallery and the Board of Trustees Room are open to students and other visitors every day. FISHER FINE ARTS Gallery is open doily to the public and many paint- ings and other art objects from all over the world ore on display. A view of some of the paintings above re- veals a portrait of the Chancellor. The picture to the right is a Sir Henry Raeburn original.

y k s- . A DOOR from Italy, located in the Architect- ture Building, is believed to be 1000 years old. TROY STONE (above) was dedicated in 1953 and presented as a gift to the University by Acacia fraternity. It was brought over here from Greece and is believed to be thousands of years old . . . symbolic of ancient Troy. Mounted in the base of the Trojan statue is this carving of a group of athletes, representing the strength of our campus. Landmarks Go Unnoticed We sometimes take for granted the many beau- tiful and significant landmarks that fill our University. Most of us pass them without knowing that they exist., Did you know for instance, that many of the trees on campus come from far-flung parts of the world and that they bear signs telling of their history? Through the years, many unique landmarks have been dedicated here. El Rodeo presents some of the more widely known and lesser known of them on this page. THE WALLS OF TROY were built to designate where the campus begins and Los Angeles ends. In the planning stage for many years, the first portion of the Walls was completed on Exposition Boulevard in 1955. Each separate foundation of the Walls was paid for by a campus organization and plaques set in each section tell the names of the donors. It is believed that the Walls will encircle the entire campus within the next five years.

Adams, offers men and women in the School of Education a chance for actual training of deaf children through the extensive facilities of this private nonprofit clinic. Courses in teaching of deaf and hard of hearing children lead to a California State Special Credential for teaching deaf children, plus a bachelor of science degree in education. The purpose of the clinic itself is to find, en- courage, guide, and train the parents of preschool age deaf children. Mrs. Spencer Tracy is the director.
