Original October 1, 1936 University of California Bulletin titled “An Introduction to the Los Angeles Campus,” issued for the University of California at Los Angeles — today UCLA.This is an early illustrated introduction to UCLA’s Westwood campus, published only seven years after students first began attending classes at the new campus in 1929. UCLA’s official 1936–37 publications list identifies this exact title as an “illustrated circular of information.” Publication details:* University of California Bulletin
* Volume 30
* Number 10
* October 1, 1936
* University of California at Los Angeles
* Original 1930s university publicationThe booklet includes early campus history, admissions information, undergraduate and graduate study, student expenses, housing, scholarships, student activities and other details documenting UCLA life during the Depression era.Especially desirable are the full-page period photographs of the early Westwood campus, including:* Royce Hall
* Corridor of Josiah Royce Hall
* Physics-Biology Building
* Chemistry Building / Esplanade
* Early campus architecture and groundsThe Westwood campus had opened in 1929 with four principal buildings—Royce Hall, the College Library, Physics-Biology Building and Chemistry Building—making these photographs particularly appealing to UCLA and Los Angeles architectural-history collectors. The year 1936 was also an important period in UCLA’s academic development: the Regents established doctoral study at UCLA that year, following establishment of the master’s degree in 1933. Condition: Very Good vintage condition overall. The tan paper cover shows light age toning, minor surface marks/spotting and mild edge and corner wear. Interior pages appear especially clean and well preserved with strong black-and-white photographs and crisp text. No writing, major tears or missing pages are visible in the photographs provided. Please review all photos for exact condition.A particularly nice piece of early UCLA, Los Angeles, University of California, Royce Hall and collegiate history dating from the formative years of the Westwood campus.
