There's an interesting link between Ansel Adams and the university:
"Adams began working for Dominican in 1932, only two years after he had decided on a career in photography. He was 30 years old, had just started a family; it was the depth of the Depression and the work must have been welcome.
"He continued to work on commission for the college until 1952.
"His Dominican pictures show a vanished world -- Dominican was a women's college then, and he photographed it as it wanted to see itself, 'a serene, almost sheltered environment for the intellectual development of women,' Roby said."
