Photographer Glenn Seki Rest and reverie before discussion and discourse are enjoyed on the patio entrance to the William M. Rains Library.

Entering the campus a growth of spring flowers gives a colorful welcome. Merrifield Hall is in the center with the Fritz B. Burns Academic Center rising behind it.

" .. .an academic village has been built in downtown Los Angeles."

Exiting the Burns Building evening students are offered a magnificent view of downtown Los Angeles. Merrifield Hall and the parking garage are in the foreground. As night falls approaching the Burns Building offers a colorful scene. A class is in session on the second floor and at groundlevel is the bookstore.

Oak Tree Quadrangle has become the campus meeting place. South Hall, a 11 0 seat classroom, is visible in the background and Chapel of the Advocate construction continues.

A class participates in a lecture by Professor John T. McDermott given in the Hall of the 70's. Construction of this building was funded exclusively by graduates of the 1970 - 79 years. INSTITUTE FOR CORPORATE COUNSEL Attendance Record Broken
