Flyerswere posted around campus in
February of 2008 that displayed a
page on the history of music at
Pomona College.
A circled paragraph on the flyer
pointed out that the Alma Mater Hail,
Pomona, Hail was written for a
blackface minstrel show in the 1909-
1910 performance season.

matter in order to reach a conclusion
about which direction the college
would take in relation to this new
revelation.
