Doheny Celebrates Its 50th Year It stands tall with the prestige of an ornate Gothic cathedral and houses the intellectual treasures of a million book- worms. Embraced by the foliage of Al- umni Park, Doheny Memorial Library has been a landmark on this campus for 50 years. An exhibition marking the anniversary was held in the library ' s Treasure Room. It featured architectural renderings, pho- tos of the ground-breaking ceremony and the building ' s construction, plus a picto- rial chronicle of the library ' s changes through the years. Designed by celebrated medievalist ar- chitect Ralph Adams Cram, founder of the Boston firm of Cram Ferguson, and by a young Angeleno, Samuel Lunden, the library stands as a monument of uniqueness. Its rich ornamentation and fine craftsmanship could not be dupli- cated today, says Paul Christopher, the university archivist and curator of the exhibit. With its massive stonework, rich marble, glittering chandeliers and stained glass, the building was opulent even by the standards of its own time. When construction began in 1931, this country was in the first stages of the Depression, explains Christopher. Built as a memorial to Edward L. Doh- eny, Jr., an esteemed alumnus who died in 1929, the library was financed through the donations of Doheny ' s fa- ther, the man whose oil discoveries started the Los Angeles oil boom at the turn of the century. This generosity a half-century ago allows students today to meander through the stacks in search of new knowledge, important articles, or just a place to rest between study ses- sions. 22 Doheny
