| WHO WROTE THE SONG? |

In 1906, Richard Loucks attended the then operating prep school of Pomona College for one year. He returned in the 1909-1910 period but reported that he "flunked out," and never actually graduated. Thus his name is noted in alumni records as "Richard Loucks ex '13" in records. The notation "ex" signifies a student that attended but did not graduate.
Although he flunked out of Pomona
College, he would later be honored with the first Trustee Medal
of Honor, and a music scholarship was created in his name to mark
his place as the writer of the alma mater. His son (also
Richard Loucks '42) was a Pomona faculty member from 1948 to
1989.
