In 1992, Claremont Graduate University students Cathy Allen and Denise Seider spearheaded an effort to bury two time capsules at the school’s art hall at 251 E. 10th Street. The capsules were meant to be opened in 2017. But the effort was delayed following Allen’s death that year. Now 34 years after they were entombed, the capsules have been unearthed.
