The Salem witch trials of 1692 marked a dark chapter in American history. These trials were a series of hearings and prosecutions of people accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts. The trials resulted in the execution of 20 people, mostly women, and the imprisonment of many others. The witch trials began when a group of young girls claimed to be possessed by witches. They started exhibiting strange behaviors and accusing various individuals of practicing witchcraft. The first three women to be accused and put on trial were Sarah Good, Sarah Osborne, and Tituba, an enslaved woman.

"A lot of these poems take things which may be meaningless or tragic in themselves and make something more of them. And I did that largely to help other people who had similar experiences. To help them see things differently or to find value in the things they’ve been through."

Bronco Stampede

The components of the BroncoStampede Ambassadors crest represent the rich history of Cal Poly Pomona. It consists of four quadrants, each representing Cal Poly Pomona’s transformation.

The weather vane with an Arabian horse stands on one of the oldest buildings at Cal Poly Pomona, Union Plaza. Cal Poly Pomona was founded in what was once Will Keith Kellogg’s horse stables. In 1949, Kellogg donated 813 acres of his ranch to the State of California for the use of Cal Poly. This was one of the largest gifts ever made to a California state college. When donating the ranch Kellogg had a few conditions. One of his conditions was to continue the breeding of Arabian horses and making valuable blood lines available to the public. Today, Cal Poly Pomona has some of the finest horses in California.

The 1938 diploma represents the establishment of the Southern California branch of the California Polytechnic College, San Luis Obispo at the Voorhis School of Boys in San Dimas, CA. Charles Voorhis donated his school to Cal Poly. The college opened its doors in September 1938 to 110 male students. In 1966 the Pomona campus separated from the San Luis Obispo campus to become California State Polytechnic College. It was not until 1972 that Cal Poly Pomona obtained university status.

The rose represents a distinctive student activity on campus. The Cal Poly Universities are the only educational institutions represented with a rose float each New Year’s Day in the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade. The rose float is designed, constructed, decorated and financed by Cal Poly students. This one of kind tradition began January 1, 1949 and it has continued to today. The Cal Poly Universities have received numerous awards throughout the years. The development of a rose float each year has created a sense of pride and accomplishment. Additionally, the rose also signifies our Rose Garden, which houses the Alumni Brick Walk.

The accused were often outcasts of society and were seen as threats to the Puritan community. The trials were fueled by religious beliefs and the fear of the unknown, creating a perfect storm for widespread panic and persecution. The trials themselves were deeply flawed, with limited evidence and credibility. Spectral evidence, which relied on the testimony of people claiming to see the spirits of the accused, was considered admissible in court. Furthermore, the accusers were allowed to testify against the accused, creating a system that heavily favored the prosecution. Many innocent people were wrongfully accused and suffered at the hands of the witch trials. Their reputations were tarnished, and their lives were ruined. It is estimated that at least 150 people were arrested and imprisoned during this time, and many more were accused but managed to escape arrest. The Salem witch trials eventually came to an end when influential members of the community were accused and the government intervened. The governor disbanded the Court of Oyer and Terminer, which had been responsible for the trials, and established a higher standard of evidence for future cases. The events of the Salem witch trials serve as a cautionary tale about the dangers of mass hysteria and the consequences of unchecked power. The trials were a dark period in American history, but they also serve as a reminder of the importance of due process and the protection of individual rights..
