0 2 1929 METATE President Edmunds Filled with the spirit of high purpose to go forward to accomplish magnificent tasks, even while reviewing the splendid achievements of the past, the ceremonies of the induction of a new president for Pomona College, and of the Forty-first Annual Founders 1 Day inspired the large audiences of students and friends who attended the two-day exercises. Pomona College was the host at Claremont on October 13 and 14 when that College inaugurated as its fifth president, Dr. Charles Keyser Edmunds, with colorful academic and religious ceremonies. A brilliant assembly of noted alumni and interested scholars gathered in Clare- mont adding greater variety to the elaborately planned program. The most important single assembly took place Saturday morning in the Open Air Theatre. Dr. Charles K. Edmunds was then formally inducted by George White Marston, President of the Board of Trustees, into the high office of President of P omona College. Major Gen- eral David Prescott Barrows, ' 94, delivered the principal address of the morning on the objectives of government. Following Marston, President Edmunds gave his formal speech of acceptance. As his first official public art, President Edmunds conferred upon Max Farrand, head of the Huntington Library and Foundation, the honorary LL.D. degree. [15]
