Rescue workers and official examine the aftermath of a stand collapse during the Tournament of Roses Festival parade on New Year's Day 1926 in Pasadena, California. The fatal collapse sent hundreds of parade watchers to the hospital and left at least four people dead. Hoover, who at the time was attending Pasadena Junior College, took this photograph of the recovery effort as curious onlookers were kept back by rows of men with outstretched arms. Hoover would go on to attend UCLA, where he became the official photographer for several publications and an unofficial chronicler of UCLA events.
