Doheny Library
The Edward L. Doheny Jr. Memorial Library is a library located in the center of campus at the University of Southern California.
After the tragic shooting of his son, the Irish American oil tycoon Edward L. Doheny donated $1.1 million in 1932 to USC to build the Doheny Library. It was designed by architect Ralph Adams Cram. The gardens were designed by A.E. Hanson.
The Doheny Library was used as a filming location for Mike Nichols' 1967 film The Graduate, for the sequence in which Benjamin Braddock waits by the fountain for Elaine Robinson, who exits the library's main door.
