Be not too harsh in your criticism of it, for there you will find our best effort. Remember that even as life has its bright and dark spots so it has been our duty to record the unpleasant with the pleasant. Our college days have been filled with happy events that will remain with us as pleasant memories long after we have left these hallsg may this book serve as a means of renewing some pleasant occasions we had almost forgotten. If it does this and does it well then we will consider that with all its faults it has fulfilled the purpose we had in mind and is worthy to take the place reserved for the Year Book of 1925. This last year has been a period of growth and development for Colby. The class of 1928 is the largest Freshman delegation ever to enter the college. Not only in size does this group excel but in spirit and enthusiasm we see real Colby men in the making. So great were the numbers of this new group the total enrollment of the college is larger than ever before in its history. This last year has seen the installation of a new system of athletics, a thing that has been needed for some time. The one-semester rule forbids Freshman to take part in varsity athletics for one semester. The purpose of the rule is obvious and the results have proved its worth. Freshmen are given a better opportunity to secure a much needed good start in their college course when the call of the gridiron is not decorated with the possibility of making a varsity C. Those men who desire to play football are given the opportunity to do so on the Freshman team which holds regular practice session daily and carries out a regular schedule of games with preparatory and high schools of the' state. Another advance step in athletics has been the securing of a full time coach, Colby was fortunate in having Edward Roundy take this position. Mr. Roundy has won the admiration and respect of every member of the student body and we expect great things of him. , The college has but two outstanding needs at the present time. The first and more important of the two is the need, amounting to a necessity, of a new gymnasium. If Colby is to retain her position with the leaders in the athletic world of small colleges an adequate gym to train her teams in is essential. We ,have the best stadium and the best track in the state, but our gym is nothing to be proud ofg our next forward step should be to build a modern gymnasium with an indoor board track where the relay team could train during the cold winter months and a cage where the baseball team could hold infield and battery practice early in the season.
