This is Claremont: the origins of Pomona College
In 1890 the Rev. C.G. Baldwin was elected as the first president of the college. With his arrival the young institution took on new life. “Claremont the beautiful” woke from its boom-induced coma to become a college community. The Hotel Claremont became Claremont Hall when Pomona College moved in during the winter of 1888-89. Photo/courtesy of Claremont Heritage
