THE FRED J. ROBBINS LECTURESHIP
Pomona College takes great pleasure in presenting the Robbins Lecture series
established by Mr. Robbins to bring to Pomona College distinguished chemists to
discuss their current research.
Mr. Robbins’ interest in founding the lectureship came in part from his
career as a metallurgical engineer and in part from his interest in creative
research which developed in his capacity as Chairman and President of a major
specialty steel company.
