Author Description

Additional Description From its humble beginnings as Los Angles College in 1911 to its evolution into a world-class institution of high education, Loyola Marymount University presents the first definite book chronicling its history of the last 100 years. This commemorative work was written by preeminent American historian Kevin Starr, know for his multi-volume series on the history of California (collectively called 'America and the California Dream'). Starr spent two years researching and writing about everything LMU, from its founding, to the development of its campus in the Del Rey Hills, to its merger with Marymount College, to the present-day with a treasure trove of stories and image. --website
