Description
This is the first part of an audio recording of an event billed as the Ceremony to Commence Construction of Academic Complex on Pepperdine University's Malibu campus. The event was held on the Malibu property--carved into pads, but devoid of buildings--on April 13, 1971. Pepperdine Chancellor M. Norvel Young presides over the ceremony, which also features speeches by LA County Supervisor Warren Dorn (05:00), President William S. Banowsky (31:20), preceded by the invocation lead by Reuel Lemmons. There is the ceremonial blasting of rock (39:00), and the laying of cornerstones with time capsules for three core buildings of the Malibu campus: Payson Library, the Pendleton Learning Center, and the Huntsinger Academic Center. Speeches by the major donors include Charles Payson (47:45), Morris Pendleton (53:30), and Fritz Huntsinger (58:00). The recording concludes with the beginning of Carl Miller's introduction to the main speaker: Wernher von Braun. 1:02:11
