Reasons behind the name, “Route 47”

In 1964, a student project to determine whether the number 47 appeared more often in nature than other random numbers turned into a wholesale 47 hunt that has continued to this day.  Since then, Pomona students and alumni have taken a special fondness to this number.  Additionally, Pomona College is located very close to the historic Route 66.  The CDO staff felt this recruiting system offers students a route to opportunities outside the campus. Hence, we came up with the name Route 47.  To learn more about the story behind the number 47 and other “Pomoniana” click here.
