Summary:
Frank Loomis Palmer Auditorium at Connecticut College was constructed in 1939 with funds given by Virginia and Theodora Palmer, honoring their father. It was planned for the benefit of the New London community, and, under the leadership of Bursar Allen Lambdin, the administration initiated a fabulous concert series to make use of its possibilities. Lambdin directed the effort from 1938 to 1962. Foremost musical groups performed there: The Philadelphia Orchestra, The San Francisco Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Symphony and outstanding artists Yehudi Menuhin and Isaac Stern (to name a few). Thankfully the record of those wonderful concerts of the past is carefully kept by the college archivist, Nova Seals (as of March 2010).
