Description	Architect's rendering of a library building for Loyola University that was proposed for the new Westchester campus, but was never built.
Historical Background	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 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 a new location in 1917, on the campus of what is now Loyola High School, and incorporated as Loyola College of Los Angeles in 1918. Graduate instruction began in 1920 with the foundation of a separate law school. The college moved to its Westchester campus in 1929, and the school achieved university status one year later. In 1933, the Religious of Sacred Heart of Mary opened Marymount Junior College in Westwood. The school later transferred classes to a new campus on the Palos Verdes Peninsula in 1960, and eight years later, the college moved onto the Loyola University campus, but remained an autonomous institution for five years before merging to form Loyola Marymount University in 1973. The library building depicted on the card was designed for the new Westchester campus in 1929 by Thomas Franklin Power, but was never constructed.
