ONE WHO WOULD GLADLY LEARN AND GLADLY TEACH? This quote from Chaucer seems to aptly describe Doctor Edward Colgnn. His maior concern in life is, and for a long 1ime has been, to try to be an effeclive teacher. The wide range of imeresfs, experiences, and first hand participation in the actualifies of business and industry, and the rigorous academic and sciemif'lc disciplines have contributed to the establishing of reclisfic I'wctlmas 1ho1 can serve well in We classroom. Doctor Colgan was born and educated in Boston. Frai! as a youth, he ever- came this physical block to captain his football team, played on a chumpicnship basketball team, boxed, fenced, swam and was on ail around gymnast. He gradumed from Harvard and served in World War I. He headed the Departmem of Psychology and Philosophy from 1924 until 1955 at Colby College. He mugh'r at Portland University and the Universiiy of Maine after his retirement. His philosophy seems to be one of personal cdiustment around cs basic value system in Order to escape From ethicui confusions ihat seem dominant in American life. His wisdom and challenging questions, forcing us 10 think, will never be forgotten. 3O
