Physical Description	1 photographic print :b&w ;11 x 15 cm.
Notes	Title supplied by cataloger.; Herman J. Schultheis was born in Aachen, Germany in 1900, and immigrated to the United States in the mid-1920s after obtaining a Ph.D. in mechanical and electrical engineering. He married Ethel Wisloh in 1936, and the pair moved to Los Angeles the following year. He worked in the film industry from the late 1930s to the mid-1940s, most notably on the animated features Fantasia and Pinocchio. His detailed notebook, documenting the special effects for Fantasia, is the subject of a 14-minute short-subject included on the film's DVD. In 1949, he started employment with Librascope as a patent engineer. Schultheis was an avid amateur photographer who traveled the world with his cameras. It was on one of these photographic exhibitions in 1955 that he disappeared in the jungles of Guatemala. His remains were discovered 18 months later. The digitized portion of this collection represents the images Schultheis took of Los Angeles and its surrounding communities after he relocated to the area in 1937.
Historical Data	In 1925 the UC Regents chose 384-acres of the 2,000 acre Wolfskill Ranch (originally Rancho San Jose de Buenos Aires) in Westwood as new site for the Southern Branch campus. In 1927 the name University of California at Los Angeles was adopted and construction of the campus began. Several buildings including Royce, Haines and Kinsey halls and Powell Library are completed in 1929, in time for the opening in 1930. After World War II, the arroyo between the Administration Building and the rest of the campus was filled in creating land used for expansion.

Kelham 1930), the Powell Library with the domed spire (Kelham 1927-29) and the Physics Building, now Kinsey Hall (1928-29 Allison and Allison).
