Historical Background
The
main
campus
of the
University
of
Southern
California
is
located
in
South
Los
Angeles
,
immediately
to the
north
of
Exposition
Park
. The
university
first
opened
as a
College
of
Liberal
Arts
in
1880
, with
10
teachers
and
53
students
.
It
has
since
expanded
to
over
33,000
students
and
32,000
faculty
, and in
addition
to its
College
of
Letters
,
Arts
, and
Sciences
,
it
now
includes
a
graduate
school
and
17
professional
schools
.
Famous
graduates
include
Neil
Armstrong
,
George
Lucas
, and
John
Wayne
.
Some
of its
most
highly
ranked
programs
are in
cinematic
arts
,
engineering
,
policy
,
planning
and
development
,
pharmacy
,
business
, and
law
. The
original
College
of
Liberal
Arts
Building
,
often
simply
called
"
Old
College
" was
built
in
1884
, and
could
accomodate
the
entire
student
body
(55
students
at that
time)
, as
well
as the
library
.
Two
additional
wings
were
added
to the
building
in
1905
, but
it
was
demolished
in
1949
because
it
was
considered
unsafe
in the
event
of an
earthquake
.
