Lambert M. Giessingér, Preservation Architect Office of Historic Resources April 5, 2010 Historic-Cultural Monument Application 2071 Escarpà Drive CHC-2010-1200-HCH Page 2 of 4 FINDINGS The building "embodies the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type specimen, inherently valuable for a study of a period style or method of construction" as an example of Spanish Colonial Revival style residential architecture.

CRITERIA The criterion is the Cultural Heritage Ordinance which defines a historical or cultural monument as any site (including significant trees or other plant life located thereon) building or structure of particular historic or cultural significance to the City of Los Angeles, such as historic structures or sites in which the broad cultural, economic, or social history of the nation, State or community is reflected or exemplified, or which are identified with historic personages or with important events in the main currents of national, State or local history or which embody the distinguishing

unity is reflected or exemplified, or which are identified with historic personages or with important events in the main currents of national, State or local history or which embody the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type specimen, inherently valuable for a study of a period style or method of construction, or a notable work of a master builder, designer or architect whose individual genius influenced his age.

SUMMARY Built in 1928 and located in Eagle Rock, this two-story single family residence exhibits character-defining features of Spanish Colonial Revival style architecture with some influences of the Monterey style. Situated on a hillside, the roughly rectangular-shaped plan becomes three stories tall as it descends the hill. The roof consists of a double front-facing gabled roof exhibiting clay roof tiles. The primary façade is asymmetrically composed with two bays and an off-center entrance. The western bay of the main elevation rises one floor higher and slightly protrudes from the rest of the façade. This two-story section contains a balcony with wooden posts and railing, a French door flanked by shutters, and three small window openings with shutters on the ground floor. The one-floor eastern bay of the primary façade contains the main entrance, consisting of a wooden door with half-timbering over the entrance. This bay also features a single window opening covered with metal grilles and a side stucco chimney. The exterior is clad in smooth stucco. Windows are multi-pane casement and fixed windows with shutters. The side elevations contain an outdoor staircase as well as a single car garage door.

Significant interior elements include a vaulted, beamed ceiling, wrought-iron banister, fireplace,

with shutters. The side elevations contain an outdoor staircase as well as a single car garage door.

Significant interior elements include a vaulted, beamed ceiling, wrought-iron banister, fireplace, arched doorways and doors, and cabinetry. Landscape features include a low garden wall with gate and some mature trees and landscaping.

The proposed Coons House historic monument was constructed in 1928 by an unknown architect or builder. The subject building was built for Arthur Coons (1900-1968), president of Occidental College from 1946-1965. Serving for nearly twenty years, Coons was the second longest serving president of the college.

Alterations to the subject building include the addition of an exterior staircase and kitchen and bathroom remodeling.

DISCUSSION The Coons House property successfully meets one of the specified Historic-Cultural Monument criteria: “embodies the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type specimen, inherently valuable for a study of a period style or method of construction. As a residential 2071 Escarpa Drive CHC-2010-1200-HCM Page 3 of 4 building designed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, the property qualifies for designation as a Historic-Cultural Monument based on this criterion.

Although the subject building was built for Arthur Coons, a past president of Occidental College, who may meet the Historic-Cultural Monument criteria as a "historic personage," Coons did not serve as president while living in the home. As such, the subject building may not be associated with the "productive life" of Coons; nonetheless, there is still a direct association between Coons and the subject building, albeit one that does not appear to meet HCM criteria.

BACKGROUND

ssociated with the "productive life" of Coons; nonetheless, there is still a direct association between Coons and the subject building, albeit one that does not appear to meet HCM criteria.

BACKGROUND At its meeting of May 20, 2010, the Cultural Heritage Commission voted to take the application under consideration. On June 17, 2010, the Cultural Heritage Commission toured the subject property.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (“CEQA”) REVIEW State of California CEQA Guidelines, Article 19, Section 15308, Class 8 "consists of actions taken by regulatory agencies, as authorized by state or local ordinance, to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment where the regulatory State of California CEQA Guidelines Article 19, Section 15331, Class 31 “consists of projects limited to maintenance, repair, stabilization, rehabilitation, restoration, preservation, conservation or reconstruction of historical resources in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic buildings."

The designation of the Coons House as a Historic-Cultural Monument in accordance with Chapter 9, Article 1, of The City of Los Angeles Administrative Code ("LAAC”) will ensure that future construction activities involving the subject property are regulated in accordance with Section 22.171.14 of the LAAC. The purpose of the designation is to prevent significant impacts to a Historic-Cultural Monument through the application of the standards set forth in the LAAC.

Pages 6–7

nce with Section 22.171.14 of the LAAC. The purpose of the designation is to prevent significant impacts to a Historic-Cultural Monument through the application of the standards set forth in the LAAC.

Without the regulation imposed by way of the pending designation, the historic significance and integrity of the subject property could be lost through incompatible alterations and new construction and the demolition of irreplaceable historic structures. The Secretary of the Interior's Standards of Rehabilitation are expressly incorporated into the LAAC and provide standards concerning the historically appropriate construction activities which will ensure the continued preservation of the subject property.

The use of Categorical Exemption Class 8 in connection with the proposed designation is consistent with the goals of maintaining, restoring, enhancing, and protecting the environment through the imposition of regulations designed to prevent the degradation of Historic-Cultural Monuments.

The use of Categorical Exemption Class 31 in connection with the proposed designation is consistent with the goals relating to the preservation, rehabilitation, restoration and reconstruction of Historic buildings in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Buildings.

Permits Architectural Description 2071 Escarpa Drive is a two-story¹ Spanish Revival style residence situated on a hillside in Eagle Rock with views of Glendale and Eagle Rock. It is located approximately 180 feet from Occidental College. The house is square shaped, two stories tall in the front and three stories as it descends downhill into the backyard. The roof is a low pitched tile type in three sections. The exterior walls are stucco and the windows are wood frame with wood shutters. The front door is a single panel offset to the left of the low walled courtyard, which contains an eighty-year-old olive tree. Upstairs on the southeast side of the house is a small Juliet balcony which is accessed from the master bedroom. The back of the residence is tall and less ornamental than the front. There is a small landing and wood stairway that descends from the dining room down to what may have been a maid's quarters². The second and main stairs descending the house from the kitchen were

ront. There is a small landing and wood stairway that descends from the dining room down to what may have been a maid's quarters². The second and main stairs descending the house from the kitchen were unfortunately replaced with concrete risers and an iron railing in what must have been a 1950's attempt at retaining the Spanish motif of the house. There is no permit for the stairs. The backyard is terraced downhill with an old stone fire pit at the property line.

One enters the residence directly into the living room, which is rectangular in shape with a vaulted, beamed ceiling. The north side of the room has a fireplace and the south side has a staircase with a lovely decorative iron banister. The interior walls are plaster and windows are wood casement types that swing in. All hardware on the window is either old and original or has been replaced with identical replicas. There are arched doorways and doors, arched recessed bookcases in the living room flanking the fireplace and recessed nichos in the maids quarters. One step down and visitors are led into the dining room, which features a recessed, arched china cabinet and French doors that lead down the auxiliary stairs. Next to the dining room is a moderately-sized kitchen which apparently was reconfigured in 1953 by the owner Judge Ellsworth Meyers³. In 2004, the current owner replaced cabinets, appliances and flooring during a well-needed remodelª.

There is one small bedroom with full bath on the first floor, to the left of the front door, accessed through an arched doorway and step down. Upstairs there are two bedrooms, one full bath and a den which started life as a sleeping porch². The roof line from the back of the house delineates this change. On the bottom level (the aforementioned maid's

there are two bedrooms, one full bath and a den which started life as a sleeping porch². The roof line from the back of the house delineates this change. On the bottom level (the aforementioned maid's quarters) is a large room and dressing room which were originally unfinished. A bathroom was added in 1932².

It appears that the garage, which is attached to the residence and directly under the kitchen, was originally fairly elongated. When the current owner purchased the property, an enormous, unattractive carport was attached. This carport was subsequently removed, uncovering a small projection from the structure of about 2 feet, leading one to believe that the garage was lengthened to accommodate a longer car. This additional ledge does not conform to the overall exterior architecture and may have been tiled when originally built. There are no permits for the garage.

Located just steps from Occidental College, 2071 Escarpa Drive still looks essentially the same way it did eighty years ago when Dr. Coons and his wife built it. Hopefully, with the help of the Mills act, the next eighty years will be just as kind to this beloved house as the last ones were.

Historical Significance The Spanish revival house at 2071 Escarpa Dive is the former home of Arthur G Coons, past president of Occidental College from 1946 to 1965. Coons was the coauthor and chairman of the "Master Plan for Higher Education in California” and with this his contribution to higher education in California resulted in an impact on the main currents of state and local history.

Arthur Coons was born June 13, 1900 in Anaheim CA. He graduated from Occidental College in 1920 and went on to receive a doctorate in economics from the Wharton School of Finance in 1927. After leaving Wharton he returned to California, married and started his career in academia at Occidental in the capacity of professor of economics, dean of men and executive secretary to the president.

Early on in his appointment at the college Arthur Coons and his wife Edna built a home at 2071 Escarpa Drive, just steps from the campus.(1) On page 1 of The Occidental_from October 2, 1928 a story announced: "New Home Erected by Dr. Coons Near Occidental Campus... With the completion of the new home of Dr. and Mrs. Arthur G Coons at 2071 Escapra Drive, fifty members of the faculty and administration will be living within two miles of the campus. Of these, thirty six live within one mile. A closer contact with college affairs and a greater ease in participating in activities is realized by those living near the college, according to college officials. Dr. Coons' new home is a seven-room house carrying out the Mediterranean motif in architecture. It is situated across the

is realized by those living near the college, according to college officials. Dr. Coons' new home is a seven-room house carrying out the Mediterranean motif in architecture. It is situated across the street from the residence of Prof. and Mrs. William G. Bonelli. Prof. and Mrs. Benjamin F. Selter also have homes on Escarpa Drive, which circles the hill northeast of the campus and President's house." ' (2) His home adjacent to the Occidental campus became a popular location for small group discussions. The Coons home was graciously opened to students and faculty groups during the years before he moved onto campus to occupy the president's house. Many faculty and administrators also lived in the immediate proximity of the college. The Coons family lived in the house at 2071 Escarpa from 1928-1939 when they moved to Claremont.(3) He was named president of Occidental College in 1946, served for nearly twenty years making him the second longest seated president of the college. He died in 1968.

While serving as Occidentals ninth president Coons oversaw the building of Stewart-Cleland Hall, Robert T Moore Zoology Laboratory, Kenneth T. Norris Hall of Science, Newcomb Hall, the Margaret Brown Herrick Memorial Chapel and the expansion of the Mary Norton Clapp Library. He brought guest lectures to the campus including Justice William O Douglas and poet Robert Frost and anthropologist Margaret Mead.

In 1959 Coons was asked to chair the Master Plan Survey of Higher Education in California. The master plan resulted in an amendment to the state constitution which provided a plan for the development, expansion and integration of the facilities, curriculum and standards of higher education in junior colleges, state colleges and the University of California for ten years or more.

or the development, expansion and integration of the facilities, curriculum and standards of higher education in junior colleges, state colleges and the University of California for ten years or more.

In fact it was not modified until 1998. For forty years the master plan served as the guideline for public higher education in California. It was natural that Coons be selected to chair this important committee, he was already a well respected voice on the national scene for higher education. He was president of the Association of American Colleges, vice chairman of the American Council on Education and a member of Eisenhower's Committee on Education Beyond High School. Governor Brown also appointed him a public member of the Coordinating Council for Higher Education. His work on the Master Plan has been acknowledged by the former president of the University of California, David Saxon, “as endowing on California a system of higher education that combined access and excellence to an unparalleled degree". He went on to say that the survey became a model for other states and other nations. Past UC president Clark Kerr paid tribute to the master plan in his memoirs by stating that it "called for extending educational opportunity and raising academic research quality. It was forward looking.

It was uplifting. It was for everybody."

Coons wrote the books: "Crisis in California Higher Education" 1968, “The Problem of Peace in the Far East” 1939 and the forward to "The Annals of American Academy of Political and Social Science" 1939.

CRITERIA The criterion is the Cultural Heritage Ordinance which defines a historical or cultural monument as any site (including significant trees or other plant life located thereon) building or structure of particular historic or cultural significance to the City of Los Angeles, such as historic structures or sites in which the broad cultural, economic, or social history of the nation, State or community is reflected or exemplified, or which are identified with historic personages or with important events in the main currents of national, State or local history or which embody the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type specimen, inherently valuable for a study of a period style or method of construction, or a notable work of a master builder, designer or architect whose individual genius influenced his age.

SUMMARY

specimen, inherently valuable for a study of a period style or method of construction, or a notable work of a master builder, designer or architect whose individual genius influenced his age.

SUMMARY Built in 1928 and located in Eagle Rock, this two-story single family residence exhibits character-defining features of Spanish Colonial Revival style architecture with some influences of the Monterey style. Situated on a hillside, the roughly rectangular-shaped plan becomes three stories tall as it descends the hill. The roof consists of a double front-facing gabled roof exhibiting clay roof tiles. The primary façade is asymmetrically composed with two bays and an off-center entrance. The western bay of the main elevation rises one floor higher and slightly protrudes from the rest of the façade. This two-story section contains a balcony with wooden posts and railing, a French door flanked by shutters, and three small window openings with shutters on the ground floor. The one-floor eastern bay of the primary façade contains the main entrance, consisting of a wooden door with half-timbering over the entrance. This bay also features a single window opening covered with metal grilles and a side stucco chimney. The exterior is clad in smooth stucco. Windows are multi-pane casement and fixed windows with shutters. The side elevations contain an outdoor staircase as well as a single car garage door.

Significant interior elements include a vaulted, beamed ceiling, wrought-iron banister, fireplace, arched doorways and doors, and cabinetry. Landscape features include a low garden wall with gate and some mature trees and landscaping.

and doors, and cabinetry. Landscape features include a low garden wall with gate and some mature trees and landscaping.

The proposed Coons House historic monument was constructed in 1928 by an unknown architect or builder. The subject building was built for Arthur Coons (1900-1968), president of Occidental College from 1946-1965. Serving for nearly twenty years, Coons was the second longest serving president of the college.

Alterations to the subject building include the addition of an exterior staircase and kitchen and bathroom remodeling.

DISCUSSION The Coons House property successfully meets one of the specified Historic-Cultural Monument criteria: “embodies the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type specimen, inherently valuable for a study of a period style or method of construction. As a residential 2071 Escarpa Drive CHC-2010-1200-HCH Page 3 of 4 building designed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, the property qualifies for designation as a Historic-Cultural Monument based on this criterion.

Although the subject building was built for Arthur Coons, a past president of Occidental College, who may meet the Historic-Cultural Monument criteria as a "historic personage," Coons did not serve as president while living in the home. As such, the subject building may not be associated with the "productive life" of Coons; nonetheless, there is still a direct association between Coons and the subject building, albeit one that does not appear to meet HCM criteria.

BACKGROUND At its meeting of May 20, 2010, the Cultural Heritage Commission voted to take the application under consideration. On June 17, 2010, the Cultural Heritage Commission toured the subject property.

itage Commission voted to take the application under consideration. On June 17, 2010, the Cultural Heritage Commission toured the subject property.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (“CEQA”) REVIEW State of California CEQA Guidelines, Article 19, Section 15308, Class 8 "consists of actions taken by regulatory agencies, as authorized by state or local ordinance, to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment where the regulatory process involves procedures for protection of the environment."

State of California CEQA Guidelines Article 19, Section 15331, Class 31 “consists of projects limited to maintenance, repair, stabilization, rehabilitation, restoration, preservation, conservation or reconstruction of historical resources in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic buildings."

The designation of the Coons House as a Historic-Cultural Monument in accordance with Chapter 9, Article 1, of The City of Los Angeles Administrative Code ("LAAC”) will ensure that future construction activities involving the subject property are regulated in accordance with Section 22.171.14 of the LAAC. The purpose of the designation is to prevent significant impacts to a Historic-Cultural Monument through the application of the standards set forth in the LAAC.

Without the regulation imposed by way of the pending designation, the historic significance and integrity of the subject property could be lost through incompatible alterations and new construction and the demolition of irreplaceable historic structures. The Secretary of the

ric significance and integrity of the subject property could be lost through incompatible alterations and new construction and the demolition of irreplaceable historic structures. The Secretary of the Interior's Standards of Rehabilitation are expressly incorporated into the LAAC and provide standards concerning the historically appropriate construction activities which will ensure the continued preservation of the subject property.

The use of Categorical Exemption Class 8 in connection with the proposed designation is consistent with the goals of maintaining, restoring, enhancing, and protecting the environment through the imposition of regulations designed to prevent the degradation of Historic-Cultural Monuments.

The use of Categorical Exemption Class 31 in connection with the proposed designation is consistent with the goals relating to the preservation, rehabilitation, restoration and reconstruction of Historic buildings in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Buildings.

Permits Architectural Description 2071 Escarpa Drive is a two-story¹ Spanish Revival style residence situated on a hillside in Eagle Rock with views of Glendale and Eagle Rock. It is located approximately 180 feet from Occidental College. The house is square shaped, two stories tall in the front and three stories as it descends downhill into the backyard. The roof is a low pitched tile type in three sections. The exterior walls are stucco and the windows are wood frame with wood shutters. The front door is a single panel offset to the left of the low walled courtyard, which contains an eighty-year-old olive tree. Upstairs on the southeast side of the house is a small Juliet balcony which is accessed from the master bedroom. The back of the residence is tall and less ornamental than the front. There is a small landing and wood stairway that descends from the dining room down to what may have been a maid's quarters². The second and main stairs descending the house from the kitchen were unfortunately replaced with concrete risers and an iron railing in what must have been a 1950's attempt at retaining the Spanish motif of the house. There is no permit for the stairs. The backyard is terraced downhill with an old stone fire pit at the property line.

what must have been a 1950's attempt at retaining the Spanish motif of the house. There is no permit for the stairs. The backyard is terraced downhill with an old stone fire pit at the property line.

One enters the residence directly into the living room, which is rectangular in shape with a vaulted, beamed ceiling. The north side of the room has a fireplace and the south side has a staircase with a lovely decorative iron banister. The interior walls are plaster and windows are wood casement types that swing in. All hardware on the window is either old and original or has been replaced with identical replicas. There are arched doorways and doors, arched recessed bookcases in the living room flanking the fireplace and recessed nichos in the maids quarters. One step down and visitors are led into the dining room, which features a recessed, arched china cabinet and French doors that lead down the auxiliary stairs. Next to the dining room is a moderately-sized kitchen which apparently was reconfigured in 1953 by the owner Judge Ellsworth Meyers³. In 2004, the current owner replaced cabinets, appliances and flooring during a well-needed remodelª.

There is one small bedroom with full bath on the first floor, to the left of the front door, accessed through an arched doorway and step down. Upstairs there are two bedrooms, one full bath and a den which started life as a sleeping porch². The roof line from the back of the house delineates this change. On the bottom level (the aforementioned maid's quarters) is a large room and dressing room which were originally unfinished. A bathroom was added in 1932².

It appears that the garage, which is attached to the residence and directly under the kitchen, was originally fairly elongated. When the current owner purchased the property,

hroom was added in 1932².

It appears that the garage, which is attached to the residence and directly under the kitchen, was originally fairly elongated. When the current owner purchased the property, an enormous, unattractive carport was attached. This carport was subsequently removed, uncovering a small projection from the structure of about 2 feet, leading one to believe that the garage was lengthened to accommodate a longer car. This additional ledge does not conform to the overall exterior architecture and may have been tiled when originally built. There are no permits for the garage.

Located just steps from Occidental College, 2071 Escarpa Drive still looks essentially the same way it did eighty years ago when Dr. Coons and his wife built it. Hopefully, with the help of the Mills act, the next eighty years will be just as kind to this beloved house as the last ones were.

Historical Significance The Spanish revival house at 2071 Escarpa Dive is the former home of Arthur G Coons, past president of Occidental College from 1946 to 1965. Coons was the coauthor and chairman of the "Master Plan for Higher Education in California" and with this his contribution to higher

ur G Coons, past president of Occidental College from 1946 to 1965. Coons was the coauthor and chairman of the "Master Plan for Higher Education in California" and with this his contribution to higher education in California resulted in an impact on the main currents of state and local history.

Arthur Coons was born June 13, 1900 in Anaheim CA. He graduated from Occidental College in 1920 and went on to receive a doctorate in economics from the Wharton School of Finance in 1927. After leaving Wharton he returned to California, married and started his career in academia at Occidental in the capacity of professor of economics, dean of men and executive secretary to the president.

Early on in his appointment at the college Arthur Coons and his wife Edna built a home at 2071 Escarpa Drive, just steps from the campus.(1) On page 1 of The Occidental from October 2, 1928 a story announced: "New Home Erected by Dr. Coons Near Occidental Campus... With the completion of the new home of Dr. and Mrs. Arthur G Coons at 2071 Escapra Drive, fifty members of the faculty and administration will be living within two miles of the campus. Of these, thirty six live within one mile. A closer contact with college affairs and a greater ease in participating in activities is realized by those living near the college, according to college officials. Dr. Coons' new home is a seven-room house carrying out the Mediterranean motif in architecture. It is situated across the street from the residence of Prof. and Mrs. William G. Bonelli. Prof. and Mrs. Benjamin F. Selter also have homes on Escarpa Drive, which circles the hill northeast of the campus and President's house." (2) His home adjacent to the Occidental campus became a popular location for small group

Selter also have homes on Escarpa Drive, which circles the hill northeast of the campus and President's house." (2) His home adjacent to the Occidental campus became a popular location for small group discussions. The Coons home was graciously opened to students and faculty groups during the years before he moved onto campus to occupy the president's house. Many faculty and administrators also lived in the immediate proximity of the college. The Coons family lived in the house at 2071 Escarpa from 1928-1939 when they moved to Claremont. (3) He was named president of Occidental College in 1946, served for nearly twenty years making him the second longest seated president of the college. He died in 1968.

While serving as Occidentals ninth president Coons oversaw the building of Stewart-Cleland Hall, Robert T Moore Zoology Laboratory, Kenneth T. Norris Hall of Science, Newcomb Hall, the Margaret Brown Herrick Memorial Chapel and the expansion of the Mary Norton Clapp Library. He brought guest lectures to the campus including Justice William O Douglas and poet Robert Frost and anthropologist Margaret Mead.

In 1959 Coons was asked to chair the Master Plan Survey of Higher Education in California. The master plan resulted in an amendment to the state constitution which provided a plan for the development, expansion and integration of the facilities, curriculum and standards of higher education in junior colleges, state colleges and the University of California for ten years or more.

In fact it was not modified until 1998. For forty years the master plan served as the guideline for public higher education in California. It was natural that Coons be selected to chair this important committee, he was already a well respected voice on the national scene for higher

the guideline for public higher education in California. It was natural that Coons be selected to chair this important committee, he was already a well respected voice on the national scene for higher education. He was president of the Association of American Colleges, vice chairman of the American Council on Education and a member of Eisenhower's Committee on Education Beyond High School. Governor Brown also appointed him a public member of the Coordinating Council for Higher Education. His work on the Master Plan has been acknowledged by the former president of the University of California, David Saxon, “as endowing on California a system of higher education that combined access and excellence to an unparalleled degree". He went on to say that the survey became a model for other states and other nations. Past UC president Clark Kerr paid tribute to the master plan in his memoirs by stating that it "called for extending educational opportunity and raising academic research quality. It was forward looking.

It was uplifting. It was for everybody.”

Coons wrote the books: "Crisis in California Higher Education" 1968, "The Problem of Peace in the Far East" 1939 and the forward to "The Annals of American Academy of Political and Social Science" 1939.

A central administration building was named for and dedicated to Arthur Coons in May 1968, the Arthur G. Coons Administrative Center. Coons Road that circles the upper campus was also named after him. In 1963 he appointed Robert W. Winter to the faculty. While he was president he oversaw the planting of 1,000 Liquidambar trees along 10 miles of streets bordering the neighborhood that gives residents a beautiful display of fall foliage every year and welcome shade in the summer.

erested in every phase of college life affecting the welfare of the men students," Coons said upon his appointment in 1931 as dean of men. "I hope later on to be able to study personal problems of the men, to know each of them intimately, and share their confidence." As it happened, his hopes were realized, and he became a popular friend of all students, men and women.

In the first year of his new responsibilities, there were 352 men enrolled, forty-seven percent of the 742 total. There were a few years during outline took of Ir were pi One h: breaki or the violati a tribu court the m vidual tice o fo 40 ARTHUR GARDINER COONS Arthur G.

appointed to the faculty in 1938, was professor of philosophy and religion when he entered war service.

His record as a teacher, department chairman, and productive scholar made him an ideal choice for dean, and thus received a warm welcome when he arrived on the job on March 1 in the role of acting dean until the close of the year. A major task was to oversee the curricular planning necessitated by the return to the customary two semesters from the three-term year during wartime.

and another on "The People Need Facts on U.S. Asian Commitments," reflecting his longtime Asian interest. Still closer to home, he wrote a letter to the Lido Isle Community Association on behalf of fellow residents and himself who were annoyed by the uncontrolled noise created by certain automobiles and motorcycles on their peaceful residential island.

Considering the committee work and other responsibilities that Coons had willingly assumed for his retirement days, plus the time devoted to writing the Crises in California Higher Education book, handling the daily mail, and just plain enjoying life at home and with friends, there would not seem much time for reading a book. However, in a letter to a friend a year after he retired, he named nine books, all nonfiction, primarily historical or biographical, that he had recently read. It is not surprising to see on the list George A. Pettitt's Twenty-Eight Years in the Life of a University President: Robert Gordon Sproul.

The first half of 1968 brought three especially meaningful events into the life of Arthur G. Coons. First was the announcement that Queen Elizabeth II in her New Year's honors list had named him an Honorary Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in recognition of his support of Anglo-American cooperation in education. In late February he sent the Coons address ceremonies for manuscript Arthur G.

2 that year. Another highlight of the Paris stay was a visit with M. and Mme.

Jean Monnet, personal friends of Richard W. Millar, then managing partner of William R. Staats & Co., former chairman of the Occidental Board of Trustees. Various attempts to get the master of the Monnet Plan to visit the College regrettably failed.

" The next year Sir Winston Churchill died, and Coons presided over a memorial service in Herrick Chapel, with the address by Professor A. L.

Rowse of Oxford University, a senior fellow at the Huntington Library and Churchill author, a good friend of Occidental and its president. In the announcement of the memorial service to the campus community, Coons wrote: "I believe Sir Winston Churchill to be one of the greatest men, if not the greatest, of the 20th Century."

Of the alumni elected to trustee terms in these years were Charles A.

Hammack, Jr. (Class of 1935) succeeded his father as longtime Board secretary.

Throughout his presidency Coons was quick to boast of his trustees to any listener. These were persons well known in their careers and in their civic service, sometimes placing Coons in heavy competition for their time. At one time six Occidental trustees were members of the University of California Board of Regents - Carter, Chandler, Mage, Mosher, Pauley, and Tapp.

In other illustration of civic responsibility, Carter achieved in efforts on behalf of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Mrs. Chandler received 117 ARTHUR GARDINER COONS Supreme Court Justice and Remsen Bird Lecturer William O.

cholarships, and a war memorial exchange scholarship fund.

Board President Rush and President Coons spoke to the building projects they hoped to cover in the first period, namely, two residence halls, one for men, one for women, completion of the music quadrangle, a new gymnasium, annex to Emmons Health Center, library expansion, and administration, classroom, and laboratory space. In addition, $100,000 was to be allotted for an increase in current funds over the first five years of the effort.

The postwar challenges to the teaching program were considerable, but as with the financial limitations, Coons was prepared to meet them.

Several longtime faculty during this period reached retirement age and had to be replaced, along with additional appointments to care for the expanding enrollment. His experience as a professor and dean was invaluable as he made outstanding appointments.

A closer contact with college affairs and a greater east in participating in activities is realized by those living near the college, according to college officials.

Dr. Coons' new home is a seven-room house carrying out the Mediterranean motif in architecture. It is situated across the street from the residence of Prof. and Mrs. William G. Bonelli.

Prof. and Mrs. F. L. Bird and Dr. and Mrs. Benjamin F. Stelter also have homes on Escarpa drive, which circles the hill northeast of the campus and President's house.
