==Campus==
Architect [[Myron Hunt]] created the original campus master plan for Occidental's [[Eagle Rock, Los Angeles|Eagle Rock]] campus in 1911. He structured the campus in a [[Mediterranean Revival architecture|Mediterranean style]], with covered walkways and tile roofs. The campus landscape was designed and developed by [[Beatrix Farrand]] in the late 1930s. All of the 19 buildings designed by Hunt remain in use today.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://occidentalweekly.com/features/2014/03/25/hunting-for-occidentals-past-a-history-of-architecture-and-landscaping-on-campus/ | title = Hunting for Occidental's Past: A History of Architecture and Landscaping on Campus | publisher = The Occidental Weekly | date = March 25, 2014 | access-date = March 30, 2015 | last1 = Landon |first1=Olivia | last2 = Selassie |first2=Manna | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150402005240/http://occidentalweekly.com/features/2014/03/25/hunting-for-occidentals-past-a-history-of-architecture-and-landscaping-on-campus/ | archive-date = April 2, 2015 | url-status = usurped }}</ref><ref name=mcguire>{{cite book| title=Beatrix Jones Farrand (1872–1959) – Fifty Years of American Landscape Architecture| last1=McGuire| first1=Diane Kostial| last2=Fern| first2=Lois| date=January 1, 1982| publisher=Dumbarton Oaks}}</ref>
