Administrative History of the Scripps College Architect and
Construction Files
Scripps College is frequently described as one of America’s most
beautiful college campuses. Scripps’ scenic 30-acre campus,
listed in the National Register of Historic Places, was
designed by architect Gordon Kaufmann in collaboration with
landscape architect Edward Huntsman-Trout. The plan for
Scripps campus was designed with the idea that there would
be an artistic connection between the buildings and its
landscape. One such example is the walkways that line the
campus. Each walkway was designed to link walks and vistas
to architectural approaches. Examples of such walkways
include: the vista between the entrance to Balch Auditorium
and the entrance to the President’s House, through a grassed
lane shaded by rows of American elms; the north-south axis
of the campus, the orange tree-bordered walk from the Oak
Terrace above the Bowling Green to the door of Toll Hall,
with the fountain entrance to the Florence Rand Lang Art
Building framed in the tree-formed vista from Toll terrace;
and the east-west crosswalk extending the width of the
campus near the halls of residence, focused Dorsey Hall’s
great window.
The general plan of the campus, the four residence halls, the
Memorial Garden, and the Art Building were designed in 1926
by architect Gordon Kaufmann of Los Angeles. Kauffman was a
leading architect during the 1920s. Sumner Hunt, also of Los
Angeles, was the architect chosen - in the late 1920s - by
Mr. and Mrs. Allan C. Balch to design Balch Hall, which
houses the academic interests of the College.
The landscape architect for the entire campus was Edward
Huntsman-Trout of Hollywood. Huntsman-Trout was a well-known
landscape architect in Southern California between 1920 and
the early 1970’s, and was a prominent designer of both
residential estates and larger non-residential commissions.
One of the most representative examples of Huntsman-Trout’s
style is Scripps College. Scripps College features one and
two story Spanish Colonial Revival buildings placed on
rectilinear, interlocking axes.. The plan is highly complex.
The open spaces are enhanced by the addition of intimate
courtyards and slight changes of level. Two major axes make
up the scheme; the east-west axis of the auditorium; and the
art building facing north toward the bowling green and Toll
Hall. These axes together make the structural backbone of
the plan. They give it strength and stability to contrast
with the free form of trees and other plants. Huntsman-Trout
placed many rare shrubs and trees on the campus, including
liquidambar, American elms, tulip trees, almond trees, and a
variety of sycamores. Garden grounds are frequent
throughout. Shade trees are everywhere.
