All ar-e happy in the anticipation of the future, better fitted to further our endeavors in diversified fields. For four years at Colby the Class of '31 has carried on the ideals and traditions of those who preceded us. W-e passed through the months, served our term as guardians of the Freshman, properly performed our duties in th-e vari-ed college activities, proved our prowess in the classroom, and on th-e field of sport, and now the writing of the final chapter of Career Closed. We were fortunate during our college days to see the dawning of a New Colby, the Colby of the Hilltop. Sincere recognition and appreci- ation is due President Johnson, the Board of Trustees, the Citizens of Waterville, and all Colby benefactors for their most able, efficient and faithful service in the furtherance of A New Colby. We possess the utmost confidence that their accomplishments will attain fulfillment. Therefore, in unison, we proclaim, Praise to Colby, Praise to her support- -ers. May their achievements be crowned with success. Thirty-two l r F., ole 195: RACLE SENIOSR CLASS OFFICE RS President . ....,.. Dems MARIE SPENCER Vice-President . . JENNIE M. H.

It has been a period of character casting and, as the Class of 1931 leaves Colby, it feels as though it has selected wisely from the materials the college has offered, developing them into a noticeable versatility. The heritage that was theirs has been upheld in the Colby Way and they now pass it on proudly.

A certain amount of good old Vermont philosophy blended with four years experience in hand to hand con- tact with the world, gained before entering college, have made Alex one of the most foresighted and reliable men in college. The studies were not easy after four years away, but a determination that went beyond difficult courses came to the fore and the boy from Saxton's River soon became one of Professor Eustis' keenest students. Al has also served as Herby Newman's right hand man in plan- ning the work of the Y. M. C. A.

Last year George saw iit to take unto himself a better half and failed to inform his friends of that fact.

He is also the best exponent of the imported game of soccer in the college and was quite responsible for the progress made by the sport here in the last three years. As captain of his fraternity team he has led the eleven to three successive college championships.

There are few people who can sing, play the violin, draw, and execute all her affairs as Steve can, and she does them all well. Besides managing her 'own affairs she seems to have her hand in most of the college activities. She is given things to do because people know that she will do them and that no one can do them better. In addition to these good points, Steve has no equal in her ability to dress well, and to look sophisticated.

She makes us think of a small girl who is laughing at some joke, but in reality she is a capable young lady who takes her studying seri- ously, has time to be Geology Assistant, as well as to go to all the dances and dance as we all would like to.

To be characterized by delightful mannerisms in college is to be distinguished on campus and in the dormitory as a leader wh-o we-ll deserves the position. To do the things which Budge has done, to mean what she has meant to her innumerable friends is the greatest achievement within the power of a college girl. Her sparkling wit and in- imitable effervescence are the outward expression of a nature that is unique. Beneath these lie dignity and sweetness, composure and efficiency, gentleness and con- sideration. Her glinting personality cannot be prisoned in words, nor is this necessary to anyone to Whom Chasey is a friend. And with her expansive democracy, she has cherished a host of acquaintances who are proud to have known her friendship. Readily known and always loved, yet with a certain indefinable discrimination, Budge eludes description and by her pre-eminence commands recognition and respect.

He certainly has established a record for smoking. If he is playing bridge, studying, or going to classes he is always smoking his pipe. He has quite a collection of pipes, some of which appear to be rather antiquated. Tare has been a valuable aid to the fraternity basket- ball team as he is a good guard and can also roll up the points when necessary.

Shorty has perhaps done more for his college and for the general welfare of the children in town than any person ever in Colby.

It is needless to say that t'Tommy has proven to be a pillar of strength to the Colby Track Team. Tommy is a true friend ready to sacrifice his own chances to help the other fellow. Colby is losing a real man, one who has for four years devoted his entire ener- gies to the service of the college. Success lies ahead for Tommy and we wish him God-Speed.

Th-ere has been a' change since We were first introduced to our Alma Mater and the change has been infinitely for th-e better. Colby has done much for us,-she has helped us grovv, to increase in capacities and capabilities. We hope that the same Colby spirit may b-e taken with us when our last year has passed and We emerge Colby men of the highest character. As freshmen, sophomor-es and Juniors We have tri-ed to carry on the ideals of those who have preced-ed us. We have tried to make the name of Mother Colby shin-e out above all others.

However, We bore the appellation with fortitude becoming to Colby women, and never had cause to doubt our Wisdom. Now with the anticipation of noble minds, We face months, dur- ing which We will be a rock of foundation for the Seniors and the ideal of perfection toward which it is fitting for all Sophomores to strive. We have been singled out for extraordinary honors, not the least of which has been compulsory gym, but let us look ahead with courage, m-em- bers of '32, believing in Colby and the divine right of the Junior Class.

KATHERINE HOLMES Sophomore Class History Last year a timid, hesitant group of little Freshman girls had the courage to prophesy that in time the Class of 1933 would be one of the most outstanding classes in Colby. This year We hav-e brought about to a large degree the realization of that prophecy. Girls of 1933 are active in every channel of college life. The knowledge of what Colby stands for has pro- vided us with the incentive to individually excel in everything that is dear to her. However, since our actions Will be remember-ed longer than our Words, in our remaining years at Colby we shall strive to give her the most Worthy of our deeds.

LUIS CROWELL Freshman Class History Sinc-e we entered Colby as Freshmen we have been laying a founda- tion on which to build our four years of college life. We spent our first few weeks in becoming acquainted with new friends, professors and pon- derous volumes from which we ar-e to r-eceive great knowledge. We rach-ed the end of this period of adjustment with flying colors and found the road to success with little difficulty. Already we have become out- standing in scholarship and prominent in social activities. The obstacles which We have met and surmounted have taught us how to overcome our future problems. Even though we have made a fine beginning our founda- tion is far from completion for our aim is to place -each brick so carefully that it cannot b-e moved. May our achievements be so great that the Class of 1934 will go down in history as one of merit and distinction.

Howev-er, as the season progressed, things began to look more gloomy. Many injuries in the early games forced Coach Roundy to make a larg-e numb-er of changes in both line and backfield. In the Lowell Textile game the Mule hit its stride and kept it throughout the season. Although Colby did not win over Maine or Bates, it showed flashes of a real offensive, and it was only a stub- born Maine team and defensively powerful Bates -eleven that stopped the Mules. After two weeks of pre-s-eason training, Colby opened the season on Sept. 27th, wh-en the team journeyed to Middletown, Conn., and took th-e highly-touted Wesleyan eleven into camp to the tune of 13-6. The score would hav-e been much greater had it not been for some costly fumbles by Colby when within a few yards of the goal. One of the outstanding fea- tures of the game was the fine -exhibition of punting by Captain Donovan. The following week Colby received her first defeat at the hands of the strong Springfield Colleg-e eleven. The badly crippled Colby team, starting its second-string line, was scored on twice in the first five minutes of play. At this point Coach Roundy sent in the regulars, and although they were scored on twice mor-e in the first half they displayed their fighting spirit. During the last half Springfield added but one more touchdown, making the final score 33-0. The following Saturday the White Mul-e receiv-ed its sec- ond defeat of the season from the Tufts Jumbo. This was an evenly con- tested game and although the Tufts outfit came out on the long end of a 7-0 score it could be seen that Colby had a much better team on the field than th-e w-eek before. Captain Donovan and Davan, a Sophomore, shone on the offense for Colby. On October 18th, Colby, back on its own field mad-e up for its two defeats by blanking Lowell Textile 19-0. Colby's a-erial attack was th-e best seen on Seaverns Field for years. The State Series opened on October 25th, when the kicking Colby White Mule dug her he-els into a slimy Ii-eld of mud and battled the cocky Bowdoin Bears to defeat in one of the most courageous confiicts ever staged on Seav-erns Field. Bowdoin scored the first touchdown in the opening minutes of play. Colby came back a few minutes later to even up the score. From this time on everything was Colbyis, the final score b-eing 20-7, Mos-e Johnston being responsible for all three of O0lby's touchdowns. Colby's aspirations to gain the State Series title were blasted when they suffered a 111-6 defeat at the hands of the Maine Bears on November lst, at Orono. It was by far the most exciting game of the year to watch, and but for a fateful third period, Maine was cl-early outplayed. The rally which the Mules staged in the last few minutes of play had many a Maine rooter shaking beneath his coonskin. On Armistice Day, Colby again met with def-eat, this time from the powerful Bates aggregation. After keep- ing the ball in Bates territory the first half, the Colby defens-e weakened for a moment in the third period allowing Bates to score twice. To the un- prejudiced spectator Colby outplayed Bowdoin, fought on even terms with Maine, and were excelled by Bates. By winning one game and losing two Colby tied with Maine and Bowdoin for second place in th-e State Series. Ona hundred forty-four l 2chelQ5u a7acLEeee Relay This year the relay team, with better facixlities than at any other time, has made a very creditable showing. Although Colby entered only two meets, she won both of them. On January 31 we went to Boston to run in the William Prout Games. The team, consisting of Thomas Hodkiewicz, Francis Flaherty, Harry Williams, and Donald Christie, defeated the four who represented Rhode Island State College. Colby finished the race far ahead of the last man on the opposing team. On February 14th at th-e B. A. A. games the team again made a very creditable showing, In a close race the teams of Worcester Polytechnic Institute, R. I. State, and the Massachusetts Agricultural College were de- feated. For this race the team consisted of Hodkiewicz, Flaherty, Williams, and Locke. It is encouraging to note that only one man, Hodiewicz, will be lost by graduation. Gordon Fuller, manager of track, also managed the relay four. Colby was also fortunate in having two of her w-eight throwers place in the New England A. A. U. championship at Cambridg-e. Colby College was the only college to take two places in this meet. Sprague, '31, took second and Perkins, '32, fifth. Brown, the Bowdoin man who took first, barely beat out the Colby man.

Such veterans as Captain Klusick, Brown, Thornton, Heddericg, Ferguson, Lovett, Deetjen, Mansfield, Karkos, and Roberts were among those to report. The pitching problem proved a hard one from the start, Brown being the only veteran. How-ever, before the season was over, both Roberts and Mansfield turned in some fine exhibitions on the mound. Another problem that faced Coach Roundy was the infield, particularly first and second base. After some consideration by th-e Coach, Donovan was elected for first base, while Ferguson and Davan took turns at second. The opening game of the season was with Maine which Colby won 4-2. Th-e second game, play-ed the following week with Bowdoin resulted in a 1-7 defeat. Colby's invasion of Massachusetts and Rhode Island resulted in three reverses and one win for the local club. Th-ey won from Boston University 12-7 in a gam-e featured by the pitching of Mansfield. The losses were to Northeastern University, Harvard, and Brown Univer- sity. Harvard had a surprise of their lives when Colby sluggers piled up a lead of 8-2 at the end of th-e fifth inning. In the last half of the fifth, Brown, on the mound for Colby, weaken-ed and Harvard had their fun by gathering eight runs, The final score was 8-12. After this trip the State Series was in full swing. Colby won two in a row, one from Maine and one from Bates. Things looked bright for the Colby team, but it did not last long. The next two games were lost to Bowdoin and Maine respectively. They were close games and th-e Roundy men, although losing, gave two fine exhibitions of baseball. The next game was with Bowdoin at Brunswick, and was th-e b-est game of the y-ear. Rob- erts, on the mound for Colby, pitched them to a 4-3 victory. Following this win came the disheartening defeat at the hands of Maine. It was this game that practically put the Mul-es out of the Championship running. The doubl-e-h-eader played with Bates, May 27th, found both clubs slugging the pill all over the lot. Bates won the morning game 10-17 and Colby stopped Bates 12-2 in the afternoon tilt. The last game was played with Bowdoin at Brunswick and resulted in a 2-3 defeat. It was a very well played game and exciting to the spectator. Summing it all up one can say that Colby had a fair season. T'hey broke even on the State Series games, winning six and losing six. Although the championship went to Maine, it is interesting to note that in State Series play, Colby scored seventy-seven runs to their opponents' seventy- four.

The last game of the season, with Bates, was cancelled because of th-e lack of ice. Three straight victories started the season, with victories of Mass. Aggies and Bowdoin twic-e. On Saturday, January 17, the team took a trip to Boston and Providence, when they played successively Har- vard, Brown, and New Hampshire State. The men making the trip were: Capt. 'Red Lovett, William M. Wilson, Thomas Kenny, John Pollard, Myron Hilton, Roger Draper, Ulric Pomorleau, Brittain Webster, George MacDonald, and Henry Rancourt. Manager Ralph Snyd-er and Coach Millet accompanied the team. All three games were taken by the opposing teams, although Colby displayed a brand of hockey superior to that of other years. Three games were played following this trip. One with Bates, was lost 3-4, with Northeastern U. on Wednesday, Feb. 4th, 3-5, 2-3 at Bates and the final game 3-5, at Brunswick. Red Lovett, '31 and Tom Kenny, '31, played wings, Malcolm Wil- son, '33 and Pomerleau, '33, alternated center, Snub Pollard, '31 and Myron Hilton, '32, played defense, and Roger Draper, '32, was in th-e net. After mid-years, William Hucke and Joseph Bragdon, both freshmen, saw service on the team, and are sure to play next year. Those receiving l-et- ters were: Walter Lovett, '31, Hudson, Mass., John Pollard, '31, Fairfield, Ulric Pomerleau. '33, Waterville, Malcolm Wilson, '33, Framingham, Mass., J.

One of these gam-es had to be called off. However, as in the past, the team rendered invaluable service to the varsity in learning the plays of other colleges which were to com-e up against Colby. In this way the men on the varsity were able to have a good look at the plays they were to come up against. In a hard game against Coburn the yearlings were beaten 13-7, while Kent's Hill took them over by one point, 7-6. However, the season closed with a decisive defeat of Higgins 19-2. Several members of the team look good for varsity material next y-ear. Johnston and Alden were good performers in the backfield, while Hucke and Mercier showed much strength in the line. These men, as W-ell as others, will probably see service on Varsity teams of the next few years. One hundrezl fifty-Lhree 1 c ere 1951 me LE F'I'CS1'11I1aI1 B aseball During its 1930 season the Freshman Ball Club played twelve games. Of th-ese it won only from Higgins and Coburn. However, the team showed considerable power, and many of the games were very close. This may be shown by the fact that during the season it succeeded in piling up 70 runs against its opponents' 81. Bill Millett deserves credit for his diligent work as coach. The manner in which he developed such men as Aekley, Skillin, and Walker is significant in itself. Before the season closed, Skillin was pitching excellent ball and was aid-ed during the season by Walker and Bryan as Well as others. Outstanding men on the team, among others, were Walker, Thomas and Zessersson. Walker's pitching against M. C. I. signifies his worth, while Thomas and Zessersson as catchers proved to be mainstays to the outfit. The team played a hard schedule and showed it- self to be a powerful club possessing fine varsity material for future years. SCHEDULE Portland High School fat homey, 125 Colby Fresh, 2.

The season closes with the Provincial Conv-ention which will be h-eld at Bowling Green. As a Colby team went last year to the great biennial convention at Wichita, Kansas, so this year a d-ebating team from the college will attend the provincial meeting.

International Deb ate Between teams representing the Students' Representative Councils of Scotland and Colby College Proposition for debate: Resolved, That the principles of nationalism afford the ideal basis for the organization of World soci-ety. Affirmative Speakers: Muriel Josephine MacDougall, Colby College John M. MacCormick, Glasgow University Negative Speakers: Gertrude Lillian Snowden, Colby Coll-ege Norman Alexander Bruce Wilson, St. AndreW's University Presiding: Ninetta Mae Runnals, Dean of Women One hundrrzd scvcvfty-two I che 195: CLE 3 XX7oman5s Debating Team For the first time in the history of the Coll-ege, members of the Women's Division have emerged as intercollegiate debaters. This year marks their advent. Two of them participated in what was known as an international debate when they took opposite sides of the question dealing with Nationalism, each having as a colleague a visiting debater from the Scottish Universities. Later in the year, four of them participated in debates With Middlebury College, with the University of Maine, and with Bates College. They have taken part in such number of intercollegiate debating contests as make them eligible to membership in Colby's alpha chapter of the national forensic society of Pi Kappa Delta, That the members of the Wom-en's Division have not hitherto taken part in intercollegiate debates is not to be interpreted to mean that there was any dearth of ability but rather that they seemed to find no interest in debating work. But this year marks the period of awakening, and the four young ladies who have been winning victories on the debater's platform will, in the long years to come, be looked upon as pioneers in this inter- esting scholastic field. Writing editorially in the Colbirmrt, Professor Libby, coach of debate, has this to say of women debaters: Opinions may differ about the question as to whether women-our Colby Women-can compete successfully with men on the debater's plat- form. But evidence in the affirmative is constantly increasing. To say that women cannot reason well, cannot analyze, cannot think through to right conclusions is to say what is sheer nonsense. That theory is but a relic of the time of man's claim to superiority and to woman's supinenessf' One h'zmdrc:d seventy-three l . '.

Rollins Presented at the City Opera House, December 16, 1930 One hundred seventy-four l E che 19:51 RAC LE Editorial Another year has passed and with it comes the retirement of another ORACLE Board. We have diligently endeavored to produce another annual worthy of the college and class which it represents. In its pages we have striven to depict as vividly as possible the life and 'activities at th-e College during the year which is closing. It has been a year of exciting prospects- a transition period in the history of our beloved institution. To clearly and authentically show the' progress of such a period is a task difficult indeed, for it is a period of steady change. Even at the time of writing, new proposals are being made and new plans adopted which cannot possibly be included before this book goes to press. The more complete story we must leave to those who follow us. As members of the College we are not alone in our int-ense feeling for its progress and welfare. The citizens of Waterville have clearly demon- strated their interest by donating the magnificent tract of land shown -else- wh-ere in the pages of this book. Details for the construction of the new campus are fast taking form and new buildings completely equipped with modern facilities will be erected on the slopes of Mayflower Hill. When completed, w-e feel that Colby College will have a hom-e second to none in its natural beauty. Construction plans are under the direction of J. Fredrick Larson, reputed as the leading architect of college buildings in America, and famous for his magnificent work at Dartmouth College which he has recently completed. Interest is high over the project and the future is gen- erally being anticipated with great pleasur-e and pride. The work of our able President d-eserves no little commendation. With the passing of another year, the life of another of Colby's beloved professors has been clos-ed. With the passing of Professor Henry Emerson Trefethen th-e College has distinctly felt a vacancy. True to his life's work and the institution which he loved so dearly, Professor Trefethen main- tained his efforts to the end, unseliishly giving his all for the lives of the young m-en and women in which he was so vitally interested. We can express the feeling of the student body no better than by repeating he was loved by all. ' With the publication of this book comes the resignation of Dr. Julian D. Taylor. professor of the Latin Language and Literature in Colby Col- lege for sixty-three years. Dr. Taylor is the oldest active professor at any institution in the United States. The retirement of Dr. Taylor brings to a close a brilliant car-eer of unceasing service to mankind and to the col- lege to which he has so utterly devoted his energies. Ever active and ever anxious to assume not only his share of responsibility, but more, he has carved a place in the hearts of all who have known him and who have come under his excellent leadership. Probably no man connected with the Col- lege is so widely known as he, having had contact with its graduates for such a span of years, and none speak with other than highest esteem for the life and work of the College's oldest professor. Ona humlrrfzl sc1le'nty-sin: 1 R ee she mesa RAC LE The old gym has been completely remod-eled increasing its facilities to a great extent. New showers, locker rooms, offices, and modern equipment generally has b-een added. The Athletic Building has been completed with a fine cinder track and ample space for winter baseball, football and track. It has been pronounced as good as any in New England and in conjunction with the newly renovated gym, Colby's athletic equipment, although not ideal. is by far the best in its history. Records of the activities of last year's graduates of this college show that fifty p-er cent are located in the field of business. This fact is signifi- cant since its graduates have in previous years, to a far greater percentage, entered the field of education. It clearly demonstrat-es that Colby is follow- ing the ideal of the Liberal Arts College, and in giving its students a truly liberal education is extending its influence into varied fields of endeavor. Much current agitation is evident among students and faculty alike relative to Freshmen. Such feeling arises from the problems of hazing, and pledging-two problems which have for some time felt the need of attention. A notable step was taken last fall by the administration's mak- ing it requisite for Freshmen to live in the two freshmen dormitories dur- ing their entire freshman year. Each dormitory has a proctor from the faculty and the system has proven invaluable in building up a unified spirit among the class. Colby has not shown itself antiquated by doggedly hold- ing fast to the outworn tradition of Bloody Monday Night. Events which happen-ed last fall in connection with this -event presented the problem all too vividly, and action was taken by the Student Council at that time which banned the roughness forever. At the present moment the various fra- ternities are drawing up tentative rushing systems which will be presented for consideration by a representative body. It is sincerely hoped that a regular system may be adopted at Colby doing away with the long prevail- ing cut-throati' methods. ACKNOWLEDGMENT To all who have in any way assisted in the completion of this volume of the ORACLE, the Editor is especially grateful. Particularly would he mention the prompt and willing work of his associat-es and the genial man- ner in which they have done their work, those who have so kindly con- tributed to the art work, Professor Eustis for his helpful guidance and management, J. Fredrick Larson who has so kindly co-operated with the Board, and Joseph Coburn Smith whose efforts have been invaluable. One hundrccl scvefnt 1 ere W5 a Rec LE Mens Colby Night The biggest Colby Night since the adoption of this practice before the Bowdoin game was held this year. For the first time the ceremonies were held in the new indoor training field. Bleachers were set up in one section of the large building and fraternity banners hung on the baseball netting made a colorful scene for the gathering. President Johnson was mast-er of ceremonies, a duty which he performed to the satisfaction of all those present. Louis R. McBay was introduced and told of his attempt to drive the Maine Stein Song out with his new piece, The Colby Marching Songj' which has already proved tremendously popular with all friends of Colby. Mayor Harold Dubord of Waterville spoke, and urged all those present to support the team on the following day. Dr. Libby Pulsifer, '21, a former captain of Golby's football teams, wished the team every success. There followed speech-es by Hon. Herbert Wadsworth, chairman of the trustees, Everett Perkins and Coach Roundy who said he was putting a physically fit team on the field, out to win. 4'Walli-e Donovan, captain of the team, was given an enthusiastic reception by those present. He spoke briefly, and to the point. As a feature for the evening, five acts were put on by several of the fraternities. The prize for the best act was won by the Kappa Delta Rho group, who pres-ented A back-campus groupf' Then, of course, the climax of the whole affair was the serving of sandwiches and coffee by our own f'Chef', Weymouth.

Philip of Mscedon said to Aristotle, I am glad I live in your day and that I have a son tnat you may be his teacher. Many s father may have said this same thing to Dr. Taylor, for the love and confidence of his students, of his fellow teachers and of others must represent a halo around a service at once noble and exalted. me w Greater love hath no man than this, that he 1 give his life for his fellnwmen. This does not mean that one should die to give his life. It means that he should live to give his life in noble service, dedicated and consecrated to youth. This is the noblest of all. I-'ew men can boast the record of Dr. Taylor. Few indeed have lived so long in one institution, in one department, and in one constant contribution to the streams of young men and women who have passed through the gates of the college. I would congratulate Colby and the students more than Dr. Taylor for they have been enriched by his life, strengthened by his fine art of teaching and his great sympathy for the young. vb -': ' .1-an 0-,..r.n on-xc: or -nn: novzmson 1. 11 uf TH 'W-mile' E M1770 L. ,, NA January 23 1931 .

L.-Beg. n , Ghe WZ! ll i' A Tribute to Professor Taylor No man in America has the record for continuous teaching in one subject and in one college as has Professor Julian Daniel Taylor, class of 1868, teacher of the Latin Lan- guage and Literature since the year of his graduation. He taught his first college class 62 years ago when but twenty-three years of age, and as there is living today no student who was in college prior to 1870, it follows that every living graduate of Colby-now numbering 4,500-either sat under Professor Taylor's instruction or came under his influence as a member of the College Faculty. Quite apart, therefore, from his record in length of teaching service, the more remarkable record is his of having impressed his personality upon every living student who passed his years in Colby's ancient halls. It is doubtful if any tribute-bearer could more flttingly summarize Professor Tay- lor's life than has he himself. In response to the beautiful tribute paid him by the late Chief Justice Cornish at the 1928 Commencement which marked his completion of sixty years of class-room service, he said: Mr, James J. Hill said that every man's life that amounts to much has usually had one great adventure. This college has been mine. I might even say it has been my life, for within sound of its bell I was born, in hopes and aspiration toward it my childhood grew up, my youth was moulded and shaped by itg within its walls my work has been done, and under its eyes I expect to spend my remaining days. And at the last, if there is anything left in my ashes, and living spark, it will be my love for my college and for my old college friends. Professor Taylor has lived the quiet life of the scholar, among his bo-oks and among his friends. He has never sought public office or positions of public leadership, yet no man's judgment is more earnestly sought or more faithfully followed. His diversions have been to serve with great fidelity on the directorate of the old Ticonic National Bank, to interest himself in stocks and bonds, and, for much of his life, to till the acres of his farm in his native Town of Winslow. With the exception of a summer spent abroad, he has achieved no distinction as a globe-trotter, but few men can be found who are better informed about national and world events. He has never pursued graduate study in the great universities, but scholars seek him out among his well-thumbed books because of the erudition and the culture that he shares. He boasts no degrees except those con- ferred upon him by his own alma mater, but few there are who will gainsay that he richly merits the highest that are bestowed. He has never written extensively for publi- cation, yet the pen with which he turns off his classic phrases could quickly command the attention of the reading public. He has appeared but infrequently on the public platform, yet those rare occasions have been memorable to those who heard him. He has never sought popularity, but today he is the most loved man among the great host of graduates of our College. As undergraduates, we have come to know Professor Taylor as the man of gentle speech, dignified in bearing, keen of observation, frank in his judgments, searching in his analysis, generous of impulse, liberal with purse, and progressive in his thinking and acting. These phrases aptly describe the great college teacher who, year after year, walks courtlily among us. While floundering about in the morasses of educational fads and the-ories, edu- cators who are really seeking the light might Well pause to contemplate the teacher-life of Professor Taylor. It may be that the discerning shall find in him the near-ideal they seek: A man of knowledge, not of books alone but of men and their affairs, a teacher of rare worth, whose interests extend beyond the book to the boy who holds it, a master of his subject, and therefore impatient of slip-shod methods and shyster schemes of the short-cut maker, an educator of rcpute, whose voyage was carefully charted to avoid the disasters that have overtaken so many others, a rare gentleman, schooled in old- fashioned courtesy and patriotism, a personality, whose influence upon generations of college youth has made him immortal among men. Om' lLu'nll1'crl eighty-sevrwi l e2e6helQ51 McLE III Memoriam ,Dear old Tref,' is gone! Those Words carry th-e heartfelt sense of loss of hundreds of Colby men who have felt the kindly, human influence of a great teacher. Scholar, scientist, philosopher that he Was, he never lost the human touch. In the wisest sense he was a real teacher, he taught not subjects, but stud-ents. Young men and women were always more import- ant to him than mathematics and astronomy. Henry Emerson Trefethen Was born at Wilton, Maine, on June 10, 1855. Prepared at Kents Hill Seminary, he was graduated from Wesleyan University in 1882, and in 1885 received the Master of Arts degree from the same institution. For thirty y-ears he taught at Kents Hill, coming to Colby as instructor in mathematics and astronomy in 1911, rising rapidly to the rank of associate professor of astronomy. For more than forty years he was a regular contributor to the Maine Farmer's Almanac, and sinc-e 1916 was its editor. Professor Trefethen's outstanding characteristics Were his sound schol- arship founded on mathematics and the classics, his persistent loyalty to friends and causes, his genius for accuracy, his keen sense of proportion, and his deep religious convictions. Every day he lived as a Christian gentleman. ERNEST C. MARRINER One Iiil11flrcrl-eiylLty-e'igl1F l ehelQ51 eAcLE The New Colby Project I On the first day of October, 1817, in the village of Bath, District of Main-e, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, a group of men met to decide a momentous question. They were the trustees of the newly chartered Maine Literary and Theological Institution and on this day they had to decide for all tim-e, as they thought, where this college should b-e located. They met at the home of William King, one of the foremost men of the District, who was destined to be chosen as Maine's first governor. One of the group had even driven up in his chaise from Haverhill to be present at this time. They were all godly men and the prospect of a Baptist institu- tion in this section of the country was dear to their hearts. The question of its location was so fundamental and important that it was to be settled only after d-eep consideration and prayer. The Massachusetts Legislature had authorized them to establish the institution in any town within Kennebec or Somerset County. Three towns in particular had expressed a desire to have the college and already a committee had visited Farmington, Bloomfield Know Skowheganl, and Wat-erville. The trustees of Bloomfield Academy had offered to turn over their funds and the school building if it should be decided to locate there. On the basis of this tempting proposal, the committee reported in favor of Bloomfield. The town of Waterville, however, was not to be outdone. Ambitious for a seat of learning and culture in their community, the citizens proposed to raise S2,000 among themselves and voted 53,000 of the town's money to be used in -establishing the college. This generous offer won th-e day. The trustees forthwith voted that the institution be located in Waterville on condition that the sums raised by the town and rais-ed by the inhabitants of Waterville . . . be realized. A beautiful site was selected for the college about half a mile north of the village, betw-een the K-ennebec and the Bloomfield Road. The heavily forested bank sloped gently down to the water's edge, from which a view could be had up the river and over the charming countrysid-e, where only here and there a cleared field appeared on the Wooded hillsides, or down- stream, where a cov-ered bridge and a few frame houses indicated the town. The college property ext-ended from th-e river to the M-essalonskee Stream, so in ad-equacy, in solitude, and in natural beauty, this s-eemed to be an ideal location for an institution of learning. One hundred eighty-nine l che1Q51 AcLEfee The decades roll-ed on. The nation prospered. The District of Maine became a full-fledg-ed state. The town of Waterville flourished and spread up to and beyond the campus. The little colleg-e struggled along, passing through many dark hours, but gradually increasing in size and prestige. In times of stress, the authorities would sell off some more of the land and carry on. The railroad pushed upwards into Maine and through Waterville, At first the tracks ran close to the river behind th-e college, later swinging up around the front of the campus. New England became the textile center of the nation and Waterville's water power was harnessed to looms and spindles. Someone discovered that spruce wood could be made into paper, so a great mill was built opposite the college where the Kennebec could float the raw material to its doors. Because th-e geographical location of Water- ville made it a suitable railroad center, shops were built and the yards crowded against the upper boundary of the campus. While industrial civilization had thus been inexorably creeping around the little campus, the college had been expanding within its confines. The area came to be occupied not only by the three brick buildings which com- posed the college for most of its first half century, but also by eight other structures as well as the athletic Held and stadium. But even this equipment was not enough for the six hundred students and forty faculty members who made up the college. Modern educational standards were requiring more and more facilities. If Colby was to keep pace, there must be a new library before many years. There should be a chapel which would hold the whole student body at one time. More class- rooms must be provided. Dormitory space was badly needed. Modern lab- oratories Would soon be necessary. A new gymnasium had been desired for years. An auditorium, a social union, an administration building would all contribute greatly to the effectiveness of the training which Colby afforded. Not, however, that the lack of these things had begun seriously to hurt the college. Colby was prospering as never before. More qualified men and women were applying for admission than could be accepted. The students were getting sound education. It was a successful and flourishing institution. Nevertheless, no one could look into the future, fifty, twenty- five or even ten years and conceive of the college as continuing to hold a high position in the educational world without some substantial additions and improvements to the pr-esent plant. One hu I1 rlrcd vlinvfy Q 61.81951 CLE E This, then, was the situation as it app-eared to the alumni and friends who had the inter-ests of Colby upon their hearts. For years, when gradu- ates would get together, one topic of conversation was sure to be: How can we get the railroad away from the college, or the colleg-e away from the railroad ? III On November 17, 1928, Dr. Franklin Winslow Johnson was elected the fifteenth president of Colby College. H-e has related how, immediately upon his acceptance of the position, he began to receive communications by word of mouth or by letter urging the necessity of removing the college to an entirely new and more suitable site. At first, he says, this seemed to be a wholly impracticable dream. The weight of tradition and sentiment served to tie Colby to its century-old location. The task of raising funds for even one or two new buildings seemed diiiicult enough without deliber- ately scrapping the present plant and reproducing it somewhere else. Such a radical step might be possible in some sections of th-e country, but in conservative New England-never! Then the Development Fund Campaign was launched. With the pri- mary purpose of the drive the erection of a new gymnasium and indoor Held, the campaign literature also pointed further on towards a n-ew library, chapel and other buildings. Public interest in this college began to be aroused. 'Ilhe alumni body began to fe-el a fresh enthusiasm. On May 27, 1929, the Portland Evening News published a lengthy -editorial, in which after reviewing Colby,s history, her great contributions to the state and her present needs, the -editor went on to advocate a change of location: Probably no college in the country is today more unfortunately and disad- vantageously situated than Colby. It cannot expand. It cannot grow where it is now. Such a condition in a state where land is plentiful and still low priced is a manifest absurdity. The Colby campus consists of some 25 acres. A modern college's grounds should consist of many hundreds of acres. It must have spaciousness. It must have physical as well as mental and spiritual freedom. Already Colby has found it impossible to place all its buildings within the college grounds .... Far from being a discouragement to the purpose of raising the development fund, the vision of a new and greater Colby should be infinitely more stimulat- ing than the difficult plan of inserting, wedging in and replacing existing buildings with new ones. Such a regard for considerations of space may be necessary in New York City. They are absurd in Maine .... Such a program may properly appeal not only to every citizen of Maine, not only to people throughout New England, but to friends of education from coast One hundred ninety-one l ea 5951 c LE to coast, from the Canadian border to the Gulf .... For the opportunity is really great. It is to create in Maine upon the fine traditions of a century of service, a new institution fully up to date, perfectly equipped and in every way fitted for a second century of constructive achievement in the highest task that civilization imposes upon itself. This editorial created much comment, but mostly negative. '6Nice, but visionary, was the general reaction. Nevertheless, the seed had been planted. All of this time the trustees were seriously thinking about this problem. Person after person, not only alumni and those immediately connected with the college, but also some who were officially connected with other colleges, or who were keenly intersted in the development of collegi- ate education in New England, sought out President Johnson and earnestly discussed with the opportunity for enhanced usefulness and service which a new location with more adequate equipment would make possible. Gradually the project emerged from the dream state to a clear-cut qu-es- tion: Is it, or is it not possible? The first step was to make a study of Colby's present situation and probable future. In any such survey, it is advantageous to have the services of some outsider who will look at things from an objective and impersonal viewpoint. As it happened, the means for just such an investi- gation were at hand. In 1929, the Maine Development Commission had organized a thorough-going survey of the educational facilities of the state. A number of specialists from other states analysed each of the four colleg-es according to scientific m-ethods. All aspects of the work of the colleges were studied, and from an academic standpoint, Colby was found to rate gratifyingly high. The portion of the report, however, which had to do with the material equipment of this college was summarized as follows: The physical plant of Colby College is very meagre, inadequate and poorly planned. If it is to continue to offer high quality collegiate work the limita- tions which the site and present buildings put upon its program of service must be removed. It is difficult to make recommendations for C-olby College. It is the opinion of the surveyors that its present site and present physical plant are so far below the desirable standards for a college with Colby's standing that the site should be changed before any more capital is invested in the present plant, most of which has given worthy service for a long period. It is a matter of only a relatively few years until more than half of the present buildings will have to be replaced. It will cost no more to build these buildings on a new site than on the present one. . . . The recommendation, then, is that Colby College should move to a larger and more desirable site. There was another course of action which suggested itself. If the campus boundaries would not hold the needed new buildings, why not acquire all the land on either side of College Avenue and build there? One hundrcd'ni1zcfy-two 1 X fascheiosi ecte One objection to such a course was that this would make for an un- lov-ely colleg-e, cut in two by a railroad and mixed up with the rest of the city. Then, too, modern education was becoming concerned not only with the intellectual aspect, but also with the atmosphere, the background and the development of character that can come from a unified college life. For this, a certain amount of isolation from the city and its competing distrac- tions is almost essential. While it would require much less money to expand down College Avenue than to build a n-ew college, it was not certain that this smaller sum would be easier to raise. The greater project would have more appeal to th-e imaginations of prospective benefactors. All of this study of the problem, however, was confined to the Board of Trustees. The college, meantime, was movingmerrily along about its business. The topic of getting away from the railroad was, perhaps, more than -ever the subject of conversation and a few unofficial rumors that options on certain tracts of land were being quietly acquired and that this or that great enterprise had made some fantastic offer for the present campus area, led to much speculation. 'On March 14, 1930, at the annual banquet of the Boston Colby Alumni Association, Mr. Walter S. Wyman, a Colby trustee, in the course of his speech mad-e the following statement: An entirely new plant, one of the best in the country, ought to be built for Colby College on the top of some hill where there is plenty of fresh air and sunshine. Immediately the cat was out of the bag. Almost every paper in the state carried the story as front page news. Colby was probably going to move! But where? People began to pick out good sites for the college. Even in other towns, this unofficial news that Colby was going to rebuild on a new location stimulated imaginations and President Johnson began to Feceive offers of land from persons who thought that their town would be an ideal home for Colby. In all, some fifteen of th-ese propositions were received, one even coming from outside the state of Main-e. On Friday morning, June 13, 1930, amid a general feeling of expect- ancy, the trustees held their annual meeting. It had been noised abroad that the college had been offer-ed a tract of land in Augusta. Would any action be taken? Would they accept this offer? At one o'clock, the meeting adjourned for lunch and the announcement was made that the following motion had been passed without a dissenting vote: It is the sense of the Board of Trustees that the coll-ege, as soon as the means can be obtained and it is feasible, should be moved to a n-ew and more adequate locationf' With th-ese words, the first official step had been taken on the New Colby Project. O ze hundrfrd ninety-three L . -faehelesn afxcre The next step was to choose a Special Committee which should investi- gate the legal, -engineering, financial and sentimental problems involved in the proposal and render a report to the Fall meeting of the Board on the relative merits of the various sites which had been proposed for the new campus. This highly important committee was compos-ed of the following trustees: President Johnson, Dr. George G. Averill of Watervill-e, Rev. Frank W. Padelford of Newton Center, Mass., Carroll N. Perkins of Water- ville, Charles F. T. Seaverns of Hartford, Conn., Herbert E. Wadsworth of Winthrop and Walter S. Wyman of Augusta. At this time, there were also made public two communications received by the Board. The first was from Mr. William H. Gannett of Augusta, and stated in part: I am pleased to make you a definite offer of that part of my property known as Ganneston Park located on Western Avenue in Augusta . . . with the stipu- , lation that it be used for the expansion of Colby College and that a sum of at least three and a half million dollars be raised for that purpose in a time not to exceed three years. Th-e other letter was signed by five people representing the Citizens Committee for the Retention of Colby in Waterville. After stating that: From the day wh-en Jeremiah Chaplin was met at the Head of the Falls by Squire Boutelle and his fellow citizens, down through the long hundred and ten years to 1930, Colby has been a blessing and inspiration to Water- ville, and other expressions of appreciation, the letter closed with the following paragraph: We are naturally disturbed by the rumor that Colby may possibly remove from Waterville. We know, of course, that whatever decision your honorable board shall reach will be for the best interests of the college. We only urge that you give thorough consideration to the more than one hundred years of closely cemented relations between the college and city and that against poten- tial material benefits, you weigh the deeply embedded sentiments through which one who thinks of Colby must also think of Waterville, and one who thinks of Waterville must immediately think of Colby. Thus, th-e stage was set and the lines clearly drawn for what many people will always remember as the great battle between Waterville and Augusta for the fair hand of Colby. The trustees had made their first great decision: Colby was going to move to a new location! But still unan- sw-ered were the questions: Where? When? How? IV The first guns of this battle were fired on the following day at the annual Alumni Luncheon. Aft-er the meal, Hon. F. Harold Dubord, '14, One hundred ninety-,four l eiil?GhelC?5l RfXCLEtg Mayor of Waterville, arose and launched into an impassioned appeal to keep Colby in Waterville. There were grounds for believing that there wer-e legal objections to moving the college to another city, he said, and there were materialistic reasons why Waterville wished to retain this institution, but after all, the issue involved was that of sentiment. A college is more than a t-eaching staff, more than a student body, buildings or material things. By far the most important part of a colleg-e is its associations, its traditions, yes, its soul! . . . Colby alumni, do you remember with me those wonderful associations of the past at Colby College in the City of Waterville? Do I need to remind you that when you return to Colby in the springtime it would not be Colby College if it were not in the City of Waterville? Do I need to mention any of those haunts which are dear to your hearts? Are you going to allow to be wiped out those associations which have taken one hundred and ten years to estab- lish, those associations and traditions which the tongue cannot describe, but which the heart knows and understands? Or are you going to make your opposition felt to the wiping out of all those things which you and I have held so dear and preserve these associations for your children and my children and generations yet unborn? Are you going to let Colby College giv-e up its soul ? This pl-ea was greeted by a storm of applause which left no doubts as to the sentiment of the gathering at that moment. But, there were other aspects to b-e considered. The next speaker was Dr. Frank W. Padelford who spoke on behalf of the Board of Trustees. He gave the longest speech of the afternoon, but so full of meat was it and so vigorously deliv-ered that he had the eager attention of the three hundred alumni throughout. He began with a scholarly analysis of the present day situation of higher education in general. The small liberal arts college, he pointed out, was in grav-e danger of being squeezed out of existence between the junior college movement on the one hand and the growing strength and importance of the great universities on the other. Only the best of the small colleges could probably survive and so it was the duty of the trustees to make sur-e that Colby would always be in this class. To maintain this standing, this college must move to a new location. From the standpoint of sentiment, this was in some ways unfortunate, but since it was the case, what diier- ence did it make whether we moved two or twenty miles? Th-ere was no perfect solution to our problem and the college's first duty was to itself. When Presid-ent Johnson came to speak, he followed up some of these ideas. Sentiment, he said, which is attached only to sticks and stones is One lruvzdred nine ty-Rue ,R E2Gl1elC?5l Rf-QCLE superficial, sentiment which adheres to friendships, proud traditions and spiritual ideals is the kind that counts. The success of this project is essen- tial if w-e want the college to be here fifty years hence, and the project cannot succeed unless it has a united alumni body behind it. Have confi- dence in th-e trustees, he advised. With 27 out of the 31 members gradu- ates of Colby, the alumni can have utmost confidence that any action which they tak-e will represent the best judgment of the graduate body and will be for the best interests of the college. The President then made a statement which was misunderstood and misinterpreted for months afterwards. I care relatively little for the City of Waterville, he said, and less for Augusta: my chief interest and my great love is for Colby College. There was a general gasp. The thought ran through the ass-embly: He doesn't like Waterville. He is going to move the college to Augusta I Upon afterthought, of course, it was realized that no such meaning lay in his words and that he was only expressing the proper attitude that the head of any organization should take. Nevertheless, the speeches of Dr. Padelford and the President worried the citizens of Waterville. It se-em-ed clear that both men were preparing the minds of the alumni and public for acceptance of a decision to move to Augusta. This could mean one of two things: either it really was all settled by the insiders to accept the Augusta offer, or the President and trustees honestly could not tell which course would seem best upon further study and so took this method of lessening the shock in cas-e it were so decided. Which was the case? It was five months before this question was answer-ed. The result of this occasion was to bring forcibly to the attention of the citizens the very r-eal danger of losing Colby from their community. Waterville girded itself for action and the Citizens Committ-ee of One Hundred was born. From this number, an executive committee was chosen as follows: Mayor F. Harold Dubord, '14, Honorary Chairman, Dr. J. Frederick Hill, '82, Chairmang Prince A. Drummond, '15, Secretary F. J. Arnold, John F. Coate, '20, Arthur Daviau, Albert F. Drummond, '88, Herbert L. Emery, Caleb A. Lewis, '03, Professor Herbert C. Libby. '02, Dr. Percy S. Merrill, '94, Professor Julian D. Taylor, '68, George F. Terry, Jr., '22, Lor-enzo E. Thayer, '03, and Charles W. Vigue, '98. During the summer, these men held meeting after meeting in order to plan a campaign that would Keep Colby in Waterville -as their battle cry w-ent. In the meantime, all manner of rumors, some preposterous and Ouc himdrcd 'ninety 5 Glue IQSI RACLE 3 some reasonable, kept the subject from growing stale. For example, it was said that an Augusta group had added an offer of five million dollars to the gift of Mr. Gannett. On the other hand, it was reported that th-e Augusta site was composed of rocky ledges which rendered it almost impossible from an engineering standpoint. Disposal of the pres-ent Colby campus oiered a fertile field for conjecture. Such guesses would soon become accepted as facts, so it was h-eard at one time or another that these build- ings would become a technical school, an aviation college, a Catholic insti- tution, part of the city school system, a hotel proj-ect, or that the ground would be used for a railroad station, hydro-electric plant or a city park. Amateur detectives were at work on President Johnson and other members of the Special Committee of trustees, endeavoring to find some clue that would show how they felt. For instance, the fact that the President was se-en playing golf at the Augusta Country Club was held to be a most suspicious omen. The Waterville Sentinel during these days served as a medium for many expressions of opinion upon the matter. These contributions rang-ed from impassioned verses beginning with such lines as: Uproot tradition! tear the ivy-vines Clinging tenaciously to hallowed walls- Rend with impious clutch, while through the halls The strident voice of progress mocks the lines Of Colby's sons and daughters. . . . to carefully reasoned arguments, such as a scholarly exposition upon the legal asp-ects of the case. There also was a considerable amount of objec- tion expressed to moving off of the present campus at all. Many schemes were suggested for moving the railroad, or making it run beneath the campus through a tunnel, and building new equipment down College Avenue. One imaginative writer even advocated the erection of a hug-e skyscraper on land already owned by the college and housing the whole institution in this building. As the weeks went by, the campaign began to take definite form. The Citizens Committe planned their attack on three fronts: First, they must demonstrate that there were locations on the outskirts of Waterville which would provide suitable sites for the college, second, they must match Mr. Gann-ett's offer by donating the land, third, they must show that th-e general opinion of the alumni was opposed to moving the college away from Wat-erville. To carry on such a campaign would require some funds, so the Friends of Colby Clubn was started to raise the money by small sub- Om: hundred 'ninety l er-1819551 CLE 3 scriptions. Every citizen was invited to sign a pledge of support towards the movement and contribute two dollars or more for this purpose. Each one who became a member was given a badge consisting of gray silk ribbon bearing the words Friend of Colby printed in blue. In all more than 750 people showed their loyalty by joining this organization. Civic enthusiasm reached a climax on September 23, when a mass meeting was h-eld in the Waterville Opera House. Over a thousand people crowded into the auditorium. The program opened with martial music by a band and singing of Colby songs by the American Legion Glee Club. Then came speeches by members of the Citizens' Committee, explaining the work they were doing, the critical nature of the situation and urging the loyal support of every inhabitant of the city. A poem Move Colby ? was read and received great applause. Then Dr. Julian D. Taylor arose to speak. The audience, to a man, arose in salute. The revered old professor took a slip of paper from his pocket and read the following words: If the site in Waterville known as the Kennebec-Messalonskee site, owned by Dr. James Poulin, and covering an -estimated area of about 300 acres, will be accepted by the Trustees as the future location of the college, I will purchase the same from th-e present owner and offer it as a gift to the college to be its home hereafter and I hope forever. There was a hush, soon broken by a tremendous storm of applause and cheers. A motion of gratitude and appreciation was carried with acclaim and the fervent singing of America ended the meeting. This site which Dr. Taylor offered to the coll-ege was one of thr-ee in the vicinity of Waterville which were generally considered to contain the greatest possibilities. The 'llaylor Site, as it was thereafter called, was situated at the point where the Messalonskee enters the Kennebec. Be- tween the stream and the river lies a long tongue of land on which are three little hills. At first it was thought that the campus could be placed on this peninsular, but further study showed that this area was too small, so a large plot of land across the stream was included. This location afforded charming views up and down the river and had certain other advantageous features. Another proposed site was known as the Mountain View Farm. This was located on the highest point on the road between Waterville and Fair- field C-enter. The ground had a gentle slope towards the south and was suitable for construction purposes. A magnilic-ent view was obtainable over and beyond the city for many miles. One hunflred 'r1in0I.y-fight I i Q6he1Q51 RAcLE?Ee The third possibility was the Mayiiower Hill site. This consisted of a high ridge of land about a mile west of th-e city. A grove of evergr-eens on the summit of the hill was a picturesque feature of the landscape and was visible from many points in the city. This location was accessibl-e from several directions and se-emed to offer a number of special advantages. In order to demonstrate to the trustees that any one of these sites was capable of being develop-ed into as fine a campus as the Augusta site, the Citizens' Committee hired a firm of architects to study them and draw up plans showing suitable layouts of college buildings in each location. In order to accomplish this as quickly as possible, aerial photographs were tak-en, probably the first tim-e that airplanes had been used for mapping purposes in this locality. Earlier in the summer, the Citizens' Committee had gone on record as being willing to underwrite th-e sum of 3,100,000 to be used in purchasing and presenting to the college any site in Waterville which the trustees might select. The Municipal Oiiicers also had expressed their willingness to assist the coll-ege in financing this undertaking by passing the following resolution on July 1: Be it further resolved that this City Council, by unanimous vote, expresses to the Trustees of Colby College its desire and willingness to render all possible assistance in the development of Colby College, in securing of a suitable site, and of providing all municipal improvements necessary for purposes of college expansion, including streets, sewers, bridges, lights and water. During the summ-er the committee was receiving l-etters nearly every day from graduates in response to a call which had been sent out asking for statements protesting the proposed removal of Colby to Augusta. These were printed in the Waterville Sentinel morning after morning and served to build up the impression that alumni sentiment was almost unani- mously against this step. On November 11, the Special Committee of the Trustees, who had been empowered to render a report to the full board upon the relative merit of the different sites, met in the President's house. This meeting had been postponed for several weeks in order to allow the Waterville Committee time to prepare their sid-e of the case. This had been done and each of the trustees was presented with a document of some 44 printed pages entitled Statement of Reasons for Relocating Colby College in Waterville. The completeness with which this had be-en prepared may be judged from the Table of Contents: Section 1-Engineering Problem. fab Statement regarding the several sites for Colby available in Waterville. fbj Letters from two landscape One hundred ninety- 2 1 Siihe l9C5l R7AxCLE architects approving the Waterville sites.

What transpired at this meeting was shrouded in mystery. With everyone on -edge and eager for som-e answer to the question which had been vexing them for so many months, the committee gave no clue as to their decision. When questioned point blank, the members would explain that they had agreed to keep their proceedings absolutely secret until after the full board had received their report. Many people took this attitude for a sign that they had decided in 'favor of the Augusta site and wer-e thus postponing the storm which would break around their h-eads when this was announced. Others were confident that the Waterville members of this committee would never surrender and that the report would be in favor of Waterville. At any rat-e, this only served to intensify the suspense that pervaded the atmosphere in the city and, to some extent, the Whole state of Maine. Only ten more days to wait and the verdict would be pronounced! Although this controversy has been spoken of as a battle between Waterville and Augusta, all of the maneuvers which have been described have been on the part of Waterville. What was Augusta doing all this time? The answer is that Augusta, as a community, was taking no part in this contest. Augusta had made just one mov-e, Mr. Gannett's offer. This, they felt, was in itself an unanswerable argument in favor of moving Colby to their city. In the first place, Ganneston Park was a site of extraordinary natural beauty. A tract of land which included a rugged hill, dense forests, fields and streamsg it had been kept intact as a private estate while the city had Two humlrcd ehelorsu cues grown around it. Rarely does one find such an examplelof unspoiled nature so close to the center of a city. Then, too, th-ere wer-e obvious ad- vantages in having an institution located in a capital city. Leaders from all parts of the state would thus come into Contact with the college and the students would have the stimulating experience of b-eing close to the affairs of state. While it was not true that Augusta citizens had added many millions of dollars to the offer of the site, yet if th-e college should decide to go there, it would be reasonable to exp-ect that they would use their resources in finding the money necessary to enable Colby to meet the conditions of Mr. Gannett's offer. From this it will be s-een that there were ample grounds for Water- ville's fear lest the truste-es decide that Colby could not afford to turn down this opportunity. On the other hand, it was argued that the Waterville sites also had natural beauty and that, anyhow, the attractiv-eness of a college d-epended less upon the features of the landscape than upon the layout of the campus and the architecture oflthe buildings. As for being in the capital city, they pointed out that it was possible for a college to be too close to politics for its own good. Furthermore, some felt that it was improbable that Augusta, strongly Congregationalist and with most of its prominent citizens alumni of other colleges, would ever give Colby the warm support that it had always enjoyed in Waterville. And as for funds, the defenders of Waterville said that while they did not pretend to be able to steer millions to the college, yet they knew of more than one will which had recently been changed to provide that sums bequeathed to Colby should go elsewhere if the college did not stay in Waterville. It all came down to a question of sentiment. To abandon the old campus would be a wrench to the sentiments of the graduates, but to aban- don also the environment, the college town, would b-e still more of a wrench. As an alumnus put it: When Commencement time came, I would as soon go to Dartmouth or any other college as to go to a place called Colby located in Augusta. Yet, after all, the chief function of a college is not to giv-e a few days of pleasure each spring to old graduates. Its duty is to give the best possible education to the young people of each day and generation. How- ever, an atmosphere of pride and reverence and love contributes to this education process. Is it necessary to sacrifice sentiment? Then, too, there was sentiment to be considered in the relations be- tween Colby and Waterville. This city had in times past giv-en much to the college, yet it was undoubtedly true that Colby had given still more to Two hundred one l QGhelQ51 RAcLEe1e Waterville. The college had becom-e a part of the economic fabric of the city. Remove the college, said the business men, and you will depreciat-e real -estate values twenty-live percent and take away a million dollars worth of trade annually. Remove Colby and you will strip from us our pride and glory, our prestige, and leave us just another little mill town. A vote that decides to move Colby will ruin Waterville. Friday, November 21, 1930, dawned bright and cool, a perfect autumn day. The trustees assembled in the parlor of the President's house at ten o'clock. The meeting was opened with prayer. A few routine matters were dispatched. It was then in order to hear the report of the Special Committee on Inv-estigation of New Location for Colby. A hush fell. Mr. Carroll N. P-erkins arose. The committee, it seemed, was not in unanimous agreement on this question and had therefore prepar-ed a majority report in favor of Waterville and a minority report in favor of Augusta. Mr. Perkins gave the majority report and Dr. Frank W. Padelford rendered the minority report. Then discussion was in order. One by one, the members gave their views. Tears were not absent, nor laughter. This angle and that angle was taken up, examined, analysed, debated. On and on. Gentlemen, said the President, 'fit is one-thirty and Mrs. Johnson has prepared a lunch for us. Shall we adjourn for a time or have the question? Question!,' was the answer. It was moved: That the majority report of the Special Committee be adopted and that the location of the college be in Waterville, provided that the City of Waterville and its citizens fulfil the conditions outlined in the votes of the Waterville City Council and the Waterville Citizens' Committee as submitted to the special committee of the trustees in a printed statement prepared by the Waterville citizens. The vote was taken. Sixteen to live. Dr. Padelford moved that it be made unanimous. It was carried. The die was cast. V Colby would stay in Waterville, but nothing had been said as to which of the three sites would be selected. As a matter of fact, th-e trustees agreed that the Mayiiower Hill location off-ered superior possibilities, but since they did not have options on much of this land, it was thought that Two hunrlrerl two efeehezosu ilwcreee the owners would be less likely to put exorbitant prices upon their lots if they did not know for sure that the college wanted that area. However' the Citizens' Committee set to work to purchase the land desired by the college and thus fulfil their promise to the trustees. On January 13, 1931, they had made initial payments on 518 acres of land. A meeting of the full Committe-e of One Hundred was called and the formal announcement made that Mayflower Hill was to be the next site of Colby College. The particular advantage that this location has over the oth-ers under consideration is in its relation to the city. With the resid-ential section of Waterville on one side of the Messalonske-e and the college grounds on the other, one can imagine town and gown looking admiringly across at each other throughout the future decades. Although of no greater -elevation than the Mountain View site, May- fiower Hill is a distinctive landmark which can be picked out from innum- erable points throughout the surrounding country. A city set upon a hill cannot be hid, and Colby College in this location will be a perpetual adver- tisement of itself. The View from here covers hundreds of square miles. To the east the Camden mountains can be seen, to the north, the Rangeley and Canadian boundary mountainsg to the west, on very clear days, Mt. Washington is visibl-e. The topography of the site is irregular enough to be interesting, yet lends itself to b-eing developed into a most attractive campus. There are streams on both sides of the hill which can be made into artificial lakes while the Messalonskee winds around the foot of the slope. The steep hills nearby offer possibilities for winter sports. The railroad is far enough away to prevent its becoming a nuisance, yet so located that a siding can be built for construction supplies and fuel. Altogether, Mayflower Hill seems to contain all the elements for a college development of outstanding character. It was now th-e task of the people of Waterville to raise S100,000 among themselves with which to complete the purchase of this tract. To many, this seemed a hopeless task. This was a year of business depression and the average person was seeking ways to -economize, rather than looking about for opportunities to give away large sums of money. Furthermore, this goal was far in excess of any amount ever raised in Watervill-e for any purpose. Clearly, only an extraordinary appeal could bring such a task to a successful completion. On February 4 the Waterville campaign was instituted. Mr. Herbert Two hundred three , 1 e , ,WL . -gli Wg, che 595: RAC LE 5 L. Emery, who had been selected as chairman of the Campaign Committee, issued a stirring call to the people of Waterville to redeem the promises which they had authorized, their committee to make to the Colby trustees and on the basis of which it had been decided to keep th-e college in Water- ville. He explained the financial arrangements which had been made, wh-ereby the local banks would lend the committee money to complete the payments due on the land and accept as security the pledges of donations by the citizens, payable over a term of three years. As th-e weeks w-ent by, the campaign progressed without much public attention. In March, added impetus was given to the enthusiasm of the citizens by a Chamber of Commerce Dinner which was well attended by over two hundred people. The feature of this occasion was the first public display of the preliminary plans for the New Colby. Mr. Jens Fredrick Larson of Hanover, N. H., ofiicial advisory architect of the Association of American Colleges, was introduced and gave a talk describing his concep- tion of the possibilities of the development of the new college in relation to the future development of the city. A large diagram of the proposed campus illustrated his talk and oth-er views and plans of the new buildings were hung on the walls. The audience listened wide-eyed and many realized for the first time that th-e New Colby project was actually going to be carried through. Perhaps the most compelling argument used in the campaign was that gifts to this fund were similar to casting bread upon the waters. Not only would the business men of Waterville have lost far more dollars than they were being asked for if the college had left this city, but the accomplish- ment of the undertaking was sure to mean increased prosperity for the city in the future. Near th-e end of March, the first announcement was made regarding the progress of the campaign. To the great amazement of the public, it was stated that pledges amounting to 373,253 had been received and the nam-es of the 254 donors were printed in the local paper. Three-quarters of the distance towards the goal had been reached, but the hardest pull was yet ahead. The committee organized teams for an intensive campaign that would touch every person in the city. The next day twenty-four more names were added and the total amount jumped four thousand dollars. A week later the sum topped the ninety thousand mark. There it seemed to hang. Gradually, th-e activities of the solicitors began to show results. The number of contributors reached five hundred and little by little, the total amount of pledges climbed painfully towards th-e goal. The com- mittee girded itself for one supreme effort. Those who had given were Two hundred four L asked to increase their subscriptions. Those who had refused were im- portuned again. No gift was too small to be gratefully accepted. The members dropped most of their business affairs and private occupations and devoted themselves unsparingly to this cause. On Friday evening, April 10, 1931 the solicitors met at eight o'clock. One by one they reported their pledges. To Dr. Herb-ert C. Libby was dele- gated the task of adding them up. When they had finished, each one held his breath while waiting the final result. At last, Dr. Libby looked up from his figures. Mr, Chairman! he said. From the grand total of 591 citizens who have contributed to the Keep Colby Fund, we have secured pledges amount- ing to the sum of S101,376I It was a joyful moment. Someone dashed to the telephone and called the fire station. The next instant, the alarm whistle bl-ew a series of hoarse blasts to spread the good news. Ohurch bells began to peal. The old chapel bell clanged happily. People began to throng the streets. AC band was assembled and behind the martial music a crowd of citizens marched up to the President's house and acquainted him with the tidings. It was a triumph in the history of Waterville. One week later, in the auditorium of the City Hall, the formal transfer of the land was made. Before an audience of nearly a thousand citizens, the Mayor, with appropriate words, passed over to the Chairman of the Board of Trustees a packet of de-eds tied up in blue and gray ribbons. In the name of the corporation, Mr. Wadsworth accepted the gift and pledged its use for the benefit of the young men and women for generations to come. Turning, then, he handed this precious parcel to President Johnson, thus symbolizing the responsibility which forthwith devolved upon th-e college. It was a challenge. Waterville had magnificently succeeded in her share of the great undertaking. Colby College, said the President, will go forward to the next task: that of raising three and one-half million dollars with which to construct the new plant. The remaining steps are difficult, he exclaimed, but the word 'failure' has been expunged from our vocabulary. Thus, the first milestone on the New Colby project has been reached. One great question has been answered. We now know Where ? but the answers to the queries How ? and When ? must wait until the future chapters in this great undertaking unfold themselves during the coming months and y-ears. -JOSEPH COBURN SMITH, '24, Two hundred Jive 'T' BACK or THIS ..
