In the near distance at center, Governor James Rolph stands up behind a banner and faces camera as he speaks during the dedication of Kerckhoff Hall at UCLA. The banner in front of him is decorated with the UCLA crest and text, which reads, "UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AT LOS ANGELES." Several people sit behind Governor Rolph and look towards him as he speaks. To the left, a portion of the building enters frame. Behind the other attendees, the east-facing facade of Kerckhoff Hall stretches across the background.
