- Note
- Loyola Marymount University traces its origins back to St. Vincent's College for Boys, founded in 1865 by the Vincentian Fathers. The first classes were held in the Lugo Adobe House at the southeast end of Olvera Street in Los Angeles. Two years later, the school moved to Hill Street. In 1884, President of St. Vincent's College, Reverend Aloysius Meyer, purchased a new campus on Grand Avenue and Washington Boulevard. The college moved to the new site in 1887. The Meyer Auditorium was part of the college expansion in the mid-1890s, and it was named in honor of Father Meyer. 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.
