Whitcomb explains, "San Diego de Alcala was a member of the Order of Friars Minor--an '1nfirmarian , ' which means someone who cares for others. This was specially important in the era of pilgrimages At the time, someone in his position, who distributed food and physical care was also in charge of spiritual matters. Given Dr. Wi lhem's work, this make the discovery of him as the model seem downright miraculous.'' Dominguez 1s well-known throughout Caltforn1a for his sculpture and design.

The James S. Copley Foundation, headed by David C. Copley, was the major donor for the library project. Other ~ackers included Helen K. Copley, The Ahmanson ~oundation, Atlas Hotels, Edyth Bush Charitable Founda- tion, Home Federal Savings and Loan Association, W. M.

Following Graham's address in the Camino Theatre participants recessed to the lawn in front of the ne~ library. The Marine Corps Recruit Depot Band played, the sun shone and a standing-room-only crowd gathered for the formal dedication. Monsignor I. Brent Eagen gave the invocation and U~D President Author E. Hughes welcomed the g~ests. Bishop Leo T. Maher, chairman of USD's board of trus- tees, accepted the key to the building. Then, after a short addr~ by Helen K. Copley, David C. Co~ley packed a lead time capsule while USO History Department Chair- man Iris Engstrand 'narrated.• Among the contents of the Cllpsule which will be opened in 50 years by current USO stud~nts Momca and Francis Bennett, were a color photogral,lh of Helen K. and James S. Copley, a Jetter from the founder of USO, vari- o school catalogs an~ photos, and a copy of "San Diego: The Unconventional City," by Neil Morgan, editor of The Tribune. J?avid _Copley, son of Helen K. and James S. Copley, was asststed m the time capsule ceremony by Michael Copley, son of James S. Copley. . The vesting of the time capsule took place while the U_SD Chorus sang a minor-key song titled "All the Pretty L~ttle Houses," and Bishop Maher blessed the premises with holy water. It was a ·dramatic moment, one which illustrated the link between past and future referred to by Mrs. Copley. The only things to survive any civilization she said ::are its art and litera~ure.'' The new library: she said: . has a real role to play m behalf of our region's immortal- ity." _After the ceremonies, guests celebrated the opening with a champagne reception in the handsome new li- brary.

Acoustical walls and ce1lmgs and wool floor coverings in neutral tones set the background for pastel furnishings chosen to correlate with 16th century tapestries which hang on the walls. Professor 1:erry Whitcomb, director of 4esign and cura- tor of collections at the university, designed the interior of the new library. ·
