William Andrews Clark Memorial Library
William Andrews Clark Jr. deeded his library to UCLA in 1926 in
memory of his father, U.S. Senator William Andrews Clark, known
as the Montana "copper king." The library is about 10
miles from campus, at 2520 Cimarron St. It houses one of the world's
premier collections of 17th- and 18th-century English culture, 20th-century
fine printing, Montana history and 19th-century literature, including
fine collections devoted to John Dryden and Oscar Wilde. (Clark

Hugh and Hazel Darling Law Library
The Darling Foundation made the cornerstone gift of $5 million to
support the Hugh and Hazel Darling Law Library, which opened in
summer 1998.
Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library
Louise M. Darling founded the Biomedical Library in 1947, when she
was summoned back from U.S. Army Library Service in Hawaii and the
Philippines by then-University Librarian Lawrence Clark Powell.
Her assignment: to build the best biomedical library of its kind,
" from scratch." In the process she trained and inspired
many librarians who now hold key positions throughout the country.
The UES Gonda Family Library
The Gondas, natives of Hungary, fled Hitler's regime and emigrated
to Venezuela and later to the United States. After finding success
in a number of business ventures, Gonda co-founded International
Lease Finance Corp., an aircraft-leasing firm. The couple created
their family foundation in 1988, dedicated to the memory of family
members lost in the Holocaust.
Powell Library Building
Please note that the Powell Library Building is discussed as one
of the Original Buildings on the Westwood
campus.
The Eugene and Maxine Rosenfeld Library
(Management)
An alumnus in business administration, Gene Rosenfeld joined the
international housing producer Kaufman and Broad in 1963 as division
controller. He went on to become president and then chief executive
officer. Under his leadership, the firm expanded internationally
and reached an annual production rate of 50,000 homes, making Kaufman
and Broad the largest housing producer in the United States.
Rosenfeld and his wife, Maxine, are among the most dedicated friends
of the Anderson School. In 1987, the Rosenfelds made a generous
gift to the school that named Anderson's strikingly beautiful and
technologically advanced Rosenfeld Library.
Richard C. Rudolph East Asian Library
Richard C. Rudolph was the chair of the department we now call East
Asian Languages and Cultures. (In his day it was Oriental Languages.)
In 1947 he was in China on a Fulbright grant. In the wake of the
Communist takeover, he managed to purchase a substantial collection
of encyclopedias, reference books, and other wood-block printed
books. Additional purchases in Japan brought the size of the collection
to more than 10,000 volumes. Originally known as the Oriental Library,
the collection was named for Rudolph in 1981. It became the East
Asian Library in 1990 to more accurately reflect its collection
of Chinese, Japanese and Korean materials.
Charles E. Young Research Library
Festivities on December 6, 1998 marked the rededication of the University
Research Library as the Charles E. Young Research Library. Chancellor
Albert Carnesale awarded the Medal to Chancellor Emeritus Young
in recognition of Young's "extraordinary achievements in elevating
and advancing UCLA, and for his distinguished contributions to higher
education." Young was chancellor of UCLA from 1968 through
1997. (Charles
