The library includes precious manuscripts and letters as well as 15,000 famous books from those published in the early days of printing down to fine modern editions. Many well-known modern scholars have used the library as source material for their books. Stumph is holding a first edition of "The Picture of Dorian Gray," inscribed by Oscar Wilde to a friend. On the shelves are all the books dealing with Wilde in existence and obtainable. The library was gifted to UCLA. Architect: Robert Farquhar. February 16, 1927.
