fc: o1.,1aY ll19 L.?ACI ,Rs We feel, however, that there are two items which will, in a measure, compensate our many failings: the brief history of the College and a series of portraits of the various professors. With each of the first three portraits Cviz: President Roberts, Doctor Taylor, Doctor Marquardtl we have presented a printed paragraph. Each is typical of the man who, in every case, needs no introduction to the sons and daughters of Colby. Who is not acquainted with the blustering, boisterous impetuosity, yet with a genial good humor beneath the surface, of President Roberts? Who does not respect and honor the man whose life has been so wrapped up in Colby's welfare: Doctor Taylor? And, lastly, who does not remem- ber this characteristic pose of Doctor Marquardt as he stands before the class: I know mein friends ? The debt we owe these men no eulogy can mouthg but time will be powerless to rob us of memories of them. The other professors, who follow, are new men to most Colby graduates, yet they are men who are maintaining the high scholastic standing which always has been Colby's prestige. In the ORACLE of this year we have followed a suggestion which has come from several sources: Build up your literary department. We have done this,--at least in length. As for quality, we acknowledge that some of the material used is inferior to that ofprevious years. On sev- eral occasions, however, a personal touch is present which is of direct merit and charm, even inthe work of an amateur. The selections offered for your approval are varied. The article on Elijah Parish Lovejoy will not fail to arouse interest. Luigi, shall we say, is a touch of feminine philosophy. A condensation of Charles Dickens' Our Mutual Friend is cleverly done and portrays to a marked degree the humor of this author. One prize-winning article in the Hallowell Prize Speaking Contest is also given. We leave it to the reader to imagine all the force of oratorical eloquence which accompanied this essay. To the loyal sons and daughters of Colby who are returning for a few hours to her sacred shrine of learning, the Colby ORACLE extends a most cordial and heartfelt greeting. Indeed, it will be a privilege to welcome these friends and graduates of Colby who are putting forth every eiort to make Colby a bigger factor in the lives of young men and women. Ztnzknnurlehgnwnt To all those who have helped in any way to make our work a success, how can we express our thanks? Gratitude is more than mere words. Especial thanks are due to Dr. Libby and Prof. Chester, both of whom have been most cordial with their assistance and suggestions. The splendid work obtained through Miss Kidder, Art-Editor, and Prof. Brown deserves also special mention. 11 Centennial Nulnber
