coneesv m eme , 11922-wget we can find comfort in thinking of the fine prospects for the next year. Baseball, track, and tennis are yet to come, but the prospects in all three are bright, especially in tennis with the entire team back. We hope that the unfortunate fire at Coburn has not put the procuring of a gymnasium a few more years distant. It is a necessity. If we are to compete with the other Maine colleges, an adequate gymnasium is needed, and needed soon. The gymnasium, so cramped and inadequate, has been utilized as a laboratory since the fire, and this has served to emphasize the great need of an up-to-date and adequate gymnasium. There has been rumor of a Dean. It seems as if some of the duties should be lifted from the willing, but overburdened shoulders of President Roberts. The college is large enough and really needs a Dean. We hope that next year will see this rumor a fact. We are glad that during the past year the President saw fit to do away with the practice of Student Assistants correcting papers in some courses. It has resulted in unfairness and favoritism in a few instances, although the honesty of most of these assistants could not be questioned. It has seemed an unfair arrangement for all students concerned, and the ORACLE was glad to see President Roberts take action in this matter. The past year has seen a decided stiffening of the scholastic standards of the college. We hope that the faculty will see fit to continue the good work, and that in the future will make the entrance requirements more strict, and thus eliminate at the very beginning the majority of the unfit. We could not finish without saying a few words about the great loss Colby suffered when Dloctor Marquardt died. More students, probably, took courses under him than under any other professor. He was beloved by all, and his death was a shock to all of us. He was faithful to the last, teaching almost to the day of his death. Realizing that mention in the editorial column is quite inadequate, another page has been reserved for a tribute by Doctor White, his closest friend among the members of the faculty. In the final analysis we are glad to-find that the Student Body has taken on a new lease of life in the past two years. It must inevitably result in a better and finer Colby. We hope that the Student Body continues in the path it has taken the last two years. As we look forward into the years to come it is not hard to visualize Colby as a greater little college than ever. APPRECIATION The ORACLE wishes to thank Professors Rollins and Libby for 'their helpful aid and suggestions. The ORACLE appreciates greatly the co-operation of the merchants of Waterville and elsewhere who have advertised in this book. The EDITOR wishes to thank the members of his board for their fine co-operation, and splendid work that made the ORACLE possible. Seven
