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.
