    "On behalf of the Claremont School of Theology community and administration, we favor the acceptance of the EIR and the establishment of the Keck Graduate Institute and the KGI/CGU housing as part of the North Campus Master Plan ... We look forward to Keck being our neighbor," stated Spencer Bates, Claremont School of Theology Vice President of Finance and Administration, at the special Claremont City Council meeting held last Thursday, September 9, 1999. The purpose of this public hearing was for the Mayor and City Council members to determine whether or not to accept the appeal of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) filed by a group of local citizens, the Friends of the Bernard Biological Field Station.
