The doors were carved in 1901 by Reginal Machell of the Royal Academy in London, and depict the artist's ideal man and woman. Following World War I, the leader of the theosophical movement, Madame Katherine Tingley, renamed the Aryan Temple "The Temple of Peace." In 1942 the Theosophical Institute moved its headquar­ters and the property ultimately was acquired by United States International University. It is now the site of Point Loma College. A fire in 1952 destroyed the temple, but the doors were saved. They stand 12'4" high and measure 6'6" across. The doors are now on exhibit at Serra Museum, Presidio Park, San Diego, on loan through the courtesy of Dr. William Rust, President of United States International University. In this issue of the Journal there appears an article entitled "Reminiscences of Loma­land" by Iverson L. Harris, edited by Dennis E. Berge relating to the International Theosophical Institute.
