| The Carnegie Library, at 425 North College Avenue
on the Pomona College campus, was the first library building at The Claremont
Colleges. Dedication Day was November 21, 1908, and everyone came dressed
in their best. Pomona’s twentieth year saw the addition of the Carnegie
Library, Smiley Hall, and Brackett Observatory, and all three were dedicated
on the same day with a grand procession. Events included the presentation
of keys, reception, and commission of keys of each of the buildings, a
prayer of dedication, and an address in the Claremont Church. (Lyon, E.
