Hide Profile

Bremer Pond, Class of 1907, was a landscape architect with the firm Pond & Robinson, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. After two years of proposals and negotiations, Dartmouth College hired Pond in 1914 to create and landscape a road through Webster Vale, a ravine at the west end of campus. Pond was born June 23, 1884 in Boston, MA. He earned degrees from Dartmouth (1907) and Harvard University (1911). After completing his master's degree in landscape architecture he took a job as secretary to Frederick Law Olmstead. In 1914 he left Olmstead and opened his own firm. His work included parks and residential properties; he prepared landscape architecture plans for Colby Junior College, the University of New Hampshire, as well as Dartmouth College. Pond taught at the Harvard Graduate School of Design between 1916 and 1950, serving as chair of the department between 1928 and 1950. He died in September, 1959 in Hanover, NH.
