I l The College Year The moving finger writes: and having writ moves on. Another year has passed and left behind it great advances toward the Pomona that is to be. A beautiful new Holmes Hall has taken the place of the old, memory-filled, frame building. The old athletic field, last year suddenly transformed into a stream bed by the roaring waters of the wash, has been rebuilt through the efforts of the student body and alumni. A concrete retaining wall and elaborate drainage system now protects the most beautiful gridiron and baseball field in Southern California and the fastest track on the Pacific Coast. New bleachers, stronger and larger, with a seating capacity of three thousand complete the new Alumni Field. The faculty also has been strengthened by several new departments. Mr. Pole and Mr. Perkins have come to direct the dramatic activities of the college. The new coaching system under Mr. Nixon and Mr. Schott has proved remarkably successful and Pomona is looking on to greater achievements in athletic activities. Several of the greatest lecturers, musicians, and men of the nation and age have honored the students this year by appearing before them. Men such as Rabindranath Tagore with his inspiring message from the Far East, Raymond Robins with his stirring social appeal and Albert Spalding with his high musical art have given to the college a deeper insight into the greater things of life. The hand of the year has left a deep imprint on the life of Pomona. - wh' ' s.. 4' . L r If-r . 1' ' . Q7 ALUMNI FIELD Page Twenfy-three
