Q ol T15QQ1f'e1c1Q, T T hitnriala HE GLQRY of our 1914 football season has not yet waned, and although in later times it may fade, it will never bec-ome entirely obliterated. ' There was introduced a new era in Maine football annals when the Colby eleven rolled up a score of one hundred and twenty-three points against its three Maine rivals, without once having its goal line endangered. There were three great incentives leading the team on to victory: Colby's honor, Coach Ful- ler's skill, and Captain Fraser's inspiring personality. This combination filled the men ofthe team with such a fighting spirit and enthusiasm that the com- petitors for the championship banner found them an irresistible force. Coaches Fuller and Cohn are responsible to a great extent for our successful team, but in the indomitable courage and remarkable insight of Ginger Fraser, we have another potent factor. Always anxious to be in the fiercest of the scrimmage, even when in such a physical condition that a man with anything but an iron will would have been in the hospital, Ginger forced his way for gain after gain re- sulting in victories for the Blue and Gray, and established a name for himself all over the Eastern States that reliects nothing but credit upon him and upon his Alma Maier. XN'e are proud of the Maine Champions of 1914 and their able leaders, and hope that this team has paved the way for more championships in the near future. HE STUDENT body has a very commendable spirit. lt has nobly sup- ported all of the athletic activities and at the same time has fallen in with the ideal of our beloved president, Arthur I. Roberts, who stands strongly for scholarship first. There have been no strong regrets expressed by the students when good athletes with poor preparation have been refused admis- sion and have gone to rival c-olleges. The growing tendency of the college is strongly in favor of clean athletics, a11d better scholarship. It is such backing as this by the student body that is putting the standing of Colby on a higher plane from year to year. L 14

-LJ nl T IS a source of great gratification to be able to issue an ORAc1..i4: with- out repeating the perfunctory discourses on the need of a new Oklxcui Constitution which usually appear in these pages. During the past year the nine fraternal units which support this Publication have agreed to several amendments to the constitution. Some of the changes are: giving the fraterni- ties a voice in the selection of the editorial board, electing the officers of the Association by fraternity representatives instead of by a mass meeting, mak- ing each fraternity man's obligation one instead of two ORACLES, and thus do- ing away with the greatly reduced prices at which the books have formerly been sold by parties outside of the management, adding to the editorial board one non- fraternity and one non-sorority editor. These changes, with a few minor ones, also added, seem to promise a better management. The only thing lack- ing now for a strictly representative ORACLE is for the tenth fraternal organiza- ti-on to take hold of the work of this publication. The joining of all of the fra- ternal bodies of the college, together with the non-fraternity support made pos- sible by the new constitution, would easily overcome all of the hnancial obstacles which at present stand in the way of making the ORACLE as large in size and as high in quality as it has been in the past and should be in the future. HE OLD idea that college men have no usefulness while undergoing the process of acquiring knowledge has practically disappeared, and if any- one still retains that antiquated notion, he will have it dispelled by look- ing into the business of Waterville. The college is represented in all branches, clerks, waiters, janitors. At the last state elections some of the men even went into an adjacent state electioneering, with the result, of course, that they brought the G, O. P. back into power again. All of these activities broaden the mentali- ties of the men indulging in them, and prepare them for a better citizenship as they leave the campus for the less enjoyable struggles of life. I-Ili RAPID growth of the college, together with a few vacancies due to resignations, has necessitated several additions to our faculty. Wfe are very glad to extend through the ORACLE the hearty welcome of the stu- dent body to the new instructors, and to renew our good wishes to those who have been with us for a longer period. p 15
