History Station: Edward L. Doheny Jr. Memorial Library: The Intellectual Heart of the Campus
In the words of Steven B. Sample, 10th president of USC: "All great universities are — or should be — nurtured by a great library. A great library informs the genius loci of a campus, if you will — the very spirit of the place. This is certainly the case with USC’s Edward L. Doheny Jr. Memorial Library." This station chronicles the history of Doheny Library and its role as a gateway to learning, the face of USC at each commencement and one of USC’s best loved gathering places. Sponsor: Glenn A. Sonnenberg ’77, J.D. ’80 (President, USC Alumni Association 2004-05; USC Trustee) In memory of his sister, Gale Phyllis Sonnenberg ’79
