Historical Background	In 1923, the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary first established an all-girls school in Los Angeles. Marymount School moved to a new campus on Sunset Boulevard in Westwood and opened a two-year junior college in 1933. In 1948 the school became Marymount College of Los Angeles and first granted baccalaureate degrees. Marymount College was relocated to the Palos Verdes campus in 1960. Loyola University of Los Angeles and Marymount College partnered with St. Joseph College of Orange began affiliation in 1968, and officially merged into Loyola Marymount University in 1973. Mother Stanislaus, R.S.H.M., (aka Sister Patricia Lacy) was the Chair of Biology Department at Marymount College in Palos Verdes. Both faculty and students frequently visited Marineland of the Pacific to see marine exhibits and displays. Marineland of the Pacific was in operation from 1954 to 1987, and was located on 90 acres along the beach in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. At the time, it was the largest oceanarium in the world.
