Glass graduated from Pomona College in 1957 and returned to Claremont several years later, when in September 1964, Pitzer College first opened its doors as a women’s college. Glass will retire in June 2011, five days short of his 76th birthday, hopefully to become a student again.

The Shakedown, Pitzer’s all-organic, student-run café may shut down unless it begins to turn a profit. But if its loyal customers have anything to say about it, this is just the beginning of the journey.
