Historical Background	Henry Welch, S.J., was the fourth president of Los Angeles College from 1918 to 1926. Loyola Marymount University traces its origins back to St. Vincent's College for Boys, founded in 1865 by the Vincentian Fathers. When St. Vincent's College closed in 1911, members of the Society of Jesus opened the high school division of their newly founded Los Angeles College. Due to rapid growth, the college moved to Venice Boulevard in 1917. A year later the school was incorporated as Loyola College of Los Angeles. Graduate instruction began in 1920 with the foundation of a separate law school. In 1929, Loyola College was relocated to the Westchester campus, and the school achieved university status one year later, becoming Loyola University of Los Angeles. Loyola University of Los Angeles and Marymount College officially merged into Loyola Marymount University in 1973.

Image Caption	"Rector-president from 1918 to 1927, the Rev. Henry Welch, SJ, was a deeply contemplative priest, ambivalent to fund-raising. Father Welch eventually earned a wide reputation as a confessor and spiritual counselor based out of Blessed Sacrament parish in Hollywood"--Starr, K. , Loyola Marymount University 1911-2011.
