DIRECTIONS: Print the disgram and clues below (landscape format) and then fill in the words beside the clues, writing a letter above each blank. Transfer each letter to the numbered square of the diagram corresponding to the number below the letter. The letters printed in the right corner of each diagram square indicate the appropriate words below, providing a cross-reference. As you progress, words and phrases taking shape in the diagram will enable you to work not only from word to diagram but also from diagram to word. When completed, the diagram, reading across, will provide a quotation from a published work relating to Pomona College. The first letters of the words below, reading down, spell out the identity of the book and its author. To check your answers, here's the SOLUTION.
