COLBY ORACLE g I 91 9 A high school student who is planning to attend a college after completing his course, begins quite early to consider the question of what college to go to. Unless he comes into personal contact with a graduate of some college, who will influence him in favor of that college, he will nearly always write to institutions about which he has heard or read the most. In other words, the college that has the most publicity of the right sort, through newspapers, prominent men, and athletics, is the college that will be most successful in obtaining students. Colby has graduated many men who have become prominent citizens, and she has excellent athletic teams, but one thing she has never had-and that is good publicity. Most people outside of New England have never heard of Colby Col- lege, and many people in New England know very little about it. We believe it would pay the board of trustees to appoint some responsible person to see to it that Colby is properly advertised. ' It is gratifying to learn that the board of trustees has decided to continue Greek as an independent department for at least one more year. Professor White has givenseventeen of the best years of his life in loyal and competent service to the college, and the students who have taken his courses are confident that the Greek Department could not have had a better head. We all recognize in Professor XVhite the distinct qualities of a scholar and a gentleman, and we hope that the authorities of the college will see their way clear to continue this depart- ment indelinitely.
