Abstract

in Falmouth, Maine (Figure 1). 1,2 After graduating high school he attended Pomona College in Claremont, California, where he was active in theater arts and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1907. Notably, Pomona College was established in 1887 with a goal of emulating small Congregationalist-founded colleges in New England such as Dartmouth, Middlebury, Harvard, and Bowdoin. 3 In effect, Dolley ventured to southern California but remained grounded in ideals much like those in his native Northeast.
