Thomas S. Warren '26 49 As a long time member I want to make a final gift to the Fraternity. I am now publishing a book that is a biography of Dr. James a Blaisdell. He was president from to He then was the first president of the graduate school. He created the program that has resulted in a family of colleges in Claremont. He brought Pomona from near bankruptcy to a national reputation.
Blaisdell also conceived of Pomona College's unique, local fraternity plan that has enriched the college experience of students who have in turn supported Pomona with increased loyalty bred by their fraternity experience. The intergenerational ties and traditions of Pomona's fraternity plan continue to strengthen alumni loyalty.
It was, in fact, Dr. Blaisdell who heartily and enthusiastically approved the Nu Alpha Phi charter because he liked what he saw as its objectives and he liked what he saw in the charter members. I found it buried in the files and am publishing it because it contains a great deal of history that is very important. The graduate school will give a free copy of this book to every member of the faculty of the six colleges.
It will also give a free copy of the book to all the trustees of the colleges. I would like to give a free copy to every member of the Nu Alpha Phi Fraternity. I do not have access to the mailing list but I do want to send a free copy to every person who would like one. Please mail me your name and address.
Of course you can buy one at the book store, but this is an offer for free home delivery. I think the book will be published in the next thirty days.
