Description
Original print is reversed.
Photograph article dated February 22, 1964 partially reads, "UCLA, which never had any ivy-covered walls, received some police-covered roofs Friday. The west end of the campus almost looked like "a Bel-Air San Quentin" as police and Secret Service agents took elaborate security precautions during President Lyndon B. Johnson's appearance at a Charter Day convocation... President Johnson, President Adolfo Mateos of Mexico and their parties arrived at UCLA in six Army and Marine helicopters from International Airport. Black limousines whisked them the quarter-mile to the women's gymnasium, where everyone donned formal academic robes." Pictured is Mexico's First Lady, Mrs. Lopez Mateos addressing youngsters, during the school visit.; See image #00125048 for additional photo in this series.
