Foreword In these pages we have attempted to present a history of the college year.

we have summarized the past, thoughts of the future have inevitably presented themselves.

In these thoughts we discover

that the prophecy of a reawakened Colby is already changing into a reality.

If in

this volume we have fused with the record of the p ast the confident hope the graduating class has in the future Colby, then we have achieved our end.

Senior Class History It seems but a few short months ago that we first trod the campus walks of Colby, yet in reality four year have passed, full of work, pleasure and life. We have given much to Colby, but she in return ha made us fit to traverse the j um bled paths of life to come. We do not fear them, but rather welcome them as an opportunity to prove our worth to our Alma Mater. We have passed through an age when we were considered as nothing, were told to do this, warned not to do that, and always were looked down upon. Then when that year was past we entered into an era when our word was law to those beneath us, but anathema to those above us. We had tasted, however, from the cup of authority and we were not slow in drinkÂ inJT from it when the next era came. During this period we seemed to stand still. We helped, but that seemed all. Yet we were preparing ourÂ selves for that time when we were to assume the reins of leadership. These reins we have held for a full year, the last year of our days as undergraduates. We have led those about us through the .m aize of campus politics, organizations, and publications, showing to others, in our turn, the Colby way of doing things. During this, our last year, we have helped materially in founding that organization which is to make of Colby an even more welcome spot for education, The Colby College Development Fund Committee. All this we have done, that which we hope to do is but a dream, that which we do the fulfillment of our destiny. We leave our college l ife fully equipped for the life to come, and as the years pass by we will look back with ever-increasing regret on the heyday of our youth which has been spent so profitably and pleasurably within these college walls. 1'hirly-lwo

Charlie, otherwise known as the youthful pride of F ranklin , has won a place i n the hearts of all who have known him here at C olby. An interested and i n dustrious worker , he has given his best to his studies a n d to all ac tivities i n which he has pa rtici p ated. Charlie's favorite pastime is reading i n the college l ibrary, a n d at those well known gather i ngs, termed "bullsessio n s , " his word is c on s idered final. If he continues to strive as eagerly as he has in college Abbie will certainly become a well-known barrister.

It's too bad we never did know E ddie very well during his four years at olby, because he lived in town, but the few who were acquainted with him wil l never forget his cheerful smil e ; we know him t o be an accommodating cha p--a lways ready for a "bull" session.

Isn't this j ust too good to be real ? At last, gi rls, you've got a picture of Dick. The handsome Swede has led a rather varied college life. During the day he is groomed under the tutelage of Mi ke Ryan ; in the evening he dances, j ust to keep in condition ; between these h�rnrs he hel ps the co -ords find reserved books at his office in the library. Dick i s a walking advertisement of what the well-d ressed col lege man should wear. Wherever Dick goes there i s con genial company, his wit and humor always clever and ever considerate of the feelings of others. Dick i s essentially a gentleman in the true sense of the definition.

Charlie is the third of the Cowings to graduate from Colby. That about tells the story. Like his predeeessors, Cha rlie has ever been a hard worker, whether on the grid iron, the track, i n the c l a ssroom, or on the stage. A s a n actor C h a r l i e has been o n e of t h e ma instays in the Powder and Wig Society ever since its foundation. His contagious good-fellowship has made him one of the most l iked figures on the campus. After graduation Charlie i s going to enter business.

His work as student chairman of the De velopment Fund alone makes him an outstand ing figure on the campus. He put the Colby Echo on its feet finan c i ally, and we suspect that the C ollege Book Store has never been so profitable as when under his managership.

Junior Class History D u ring our Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior years we have striven ever to live in the Colby way. We have followed the paths that those before us have trod, but always doing each deed a little better, a little more effi ciently. We are not as we were when first we saw this ancient campus. Our greenness has departed and no longer do we hark to the call of Phi Chi. We have grown in capacity and capability and Colby has been the motivating power Now we face the last year in ·o u r chosen Alma Mater. We, of the class of 1 930, have stri ven to further the work that has been left us to do, and we have done it well. We are now ready to take our place as the leaders in Colby traditions and ideals. We are Colby men and we hope to remain real Colby men until and after the d oors have closed upon our undergraduate days. We have always answered the call of Colby and have tried to place her name above all others. In the years to come it is our aim to further the interests of Colby to the best of our abilities, to place her even more firmly on the h igh pedestal she has reached, to expand her p olicies, to foster her growth, so that in the years to come we may be proud of that which we hav·e helped to do.

So p homore C lass History The class of 1 9 3 1 has definitely proven its worth during this past year. We have filled those places left vacant by l ast year's Seniors and h ave given Colby another championship football team. We h ave not fallen behind i n our scholastic attainments an d h ave men prominent in all the l atia-curriculum activities. We are, without doubt, the most .outstanding class i n C olby College, with the p ossible exception of the outgoing Senior Class. We have attended to our d uty as F reshman class chapernnes success fully, chastising them sufficiently on "Bloody Monday N ight," and then allowing them to have a s uccessful banquet in order to encour.age them i n their col lege activities. O u r efforts have been rewarded f o r t h e Freshman class is well steeped i n Colby lore. We h ave now taken our place as up standing, dignified college men, always willing to help the Frosh whenever needed, but always turning 1our abilities to the advancement of C olby in terests.

Freshman Class History Colby was indeed fortunate when the class of 1 932 entered its portals to take up their work in all kinds of oollege activities. The members of our class, while not yet illustrious, have entered into the spirit of Colby College, and our potentialities are great. On "Bloody Monday N ight" the Sophomores received us officially and chastized us greatly, but the tables were soon to be changed. Our football team was victorious and we did not lag i n the fall track events. On a cer tain night soon after the end of the football season was asserted our i nde pend �nce and held our banquet in spite of the efforts of the Sophomores to stop us. We have been successful thus far i n our college careers and we are confident that the i ncreasing years will find us even more successful.

Senior Class History Some things begin small and get bigger. Others begin big and ge t smaller. There is also a class of things of which you really cannot tell what they are going to do--grow or shrivel, swell or s hrink, increase or dimin足 ish. Some start with a whisper and end with a roar of artillery. Others start w ith a blare as of fifteen German bands and end l ike the song of a sickly mosquito. Miss Runnals' annual chapel discourse on "Petering" has stimulated us at each m ilestone of ,our j ourney and with what better challenge can we leave the cherished halls of dear old Colby ? When we, as verdant Freshmen, started the fi rst lap of our four-mile run, no one knew what we were really going to do. Some thought that we would begin small and get bigger. Others thought we would start big and grow smaller. Characteristically, we fooled them. We did both. In num足 bers we started big, but we petered. On the other hand, our enthusiasm, our spirit, our dignity, our deep l ove for Colby started l ike a m in iatu re h ot spring and is ending l ike Old Faithful. O u r members have given gener足 ously of their time to extra cu rricular activities, and in academic accom足 plishments we have not been found wanting. As we go our several ways, may Mother Colby's love be ever with us, and may she ever have cause to be proud of her daughters of '29. Seventy-two

Junior Class History By a process of evolution, lightning-like and brilliant, these girls have developed from becomingly shy, naive Freshmen i nto Juniors of surpassing poise and confidence. They have acquired qualities of m ind and body, attributes of charm and excellence and beauty, which single them out as above the ordinary. They have developed amazing athletic p rowess, have reached a lofty p itch of social grace, have amassed worlds of knowledge and built up brilliant i ntellects,-have garnered a few f.raternity pins. On all sides success has greeted them : with pride they may look back on three years of glorious achievements ; which j u st ice they may hope for better things to come. Colby i ndeed, should be p roud of her daughters, her wonÂ derful daughters of 1930.

So phomore Class History Colby to thee we give our loyal praise, Ever we'll love thee for our college days Time will not alter loyalty so strong, You will be with us through our whole l ife long. O ur class we know will prove its worth at last Long after college days are in the past. Here we are at the end of our second year at Colby.

1 93 1 has been very busy

this year amassing facts, adding to our string of happy memories and building a founÂ dation steeped in Colby traditions.

A l l these will prove the sincerity of the spirit in

which we sing our class song and will hel p us fulfill its promise. When we began our work here a year ago, we knew that we were about to face tasks which would try our powers to the utmost and we were a little worried about the prospect, espec ially during our M id-Year E xaminations, but we survived and knew that ever afterward we would be able to pass the test whenever and wherever it would come : we have proved ourselves and we are j u stly proud. I n athletics, we have given the members of the other classes real opposition and have engaged the Juniors in a stiff fight for the " C u p . " O u r c l a s s has leaders in every activity and though we may n o t excel in P h i Betes, you may be sure that we will continue to lead, for everyone of our members i s of the steady, worth-while type that E lbert Hubbard says "the world i s looking for."

Freshman Class History Since September 1 9 , 1 928, that day when we accomplished with some difficulty the task of our first registration, we have been proud to call our selves Colby Students. Our experiences have been many and varied, from attending Health League picnics on the Messalonskee to reciting in Public S peaking Class. All of these activities have helped to make us feel better able to oonduct ourselves as "co-eds" ; the haze of our first Freshman days is disappearing and we are coming to occupy an important place in the col lege. The dass of '32 is not as l arge as some entering classes h ave been, but in quality it surpasses all others,-"so say we all of us." When the year 1 932 arrives we are confident that we will be proclaimed an o utstand ing class of Colby.

Football Review Last fall the earl y football training session was conducted on the cam足 pus, when a squad of about twenty men reported for the early workouts. Prospects for a successful season were not very bright, as Coach Roundy had only three veterans from the championship team of the year before, around which to build his team. After about two weeks of conditioning work, blackboard drills and signal practice, the season opened on Septem足 ber 22, with Colby entertaining the Newport Naval Cadets at Waterville. The visitors presented a well-balanced team, and defeated the inexperi足 enced Colby team, 20-6. The loss of " Red" Williamson, promising end, who received i nj u ries in this game that kept him on the side-lines for the rest of the year, greatl y weakened the team for some time. The following week, Colby j ourneyed to the University of New H amp足 shire. The Blue and Gray started furiously, and scored a touchdown after but four minutes of play . Yet inexperience again forced our team to accept a 12-7 defeat at the hands of this fast travelling team from D urham. The Tufts contest, on October 6, was the next game for Colby. Colby played wonderful football, and held this strong, veteran team to four touchdowns. The T ufts aggregation, on which there were nine veterans from their u ndefeated team of the previous year, were repeatedly stopped, and were forced to be content with a 24-0 victory. Colby met Norwich University at Waterville o n the following Saturday. Norwich had a fast, hard-hitting team, but it was only after overcoming a stubborn resistance that they could defeat our fighting B l ue and Gray team by a 1 9-9 score. Greatly strengthened by the return of " Stonie" Carlson, " Red" Lee and "Wally" D onovan to the squad, the team defeated the strong Worcester Polytechnic team by a 1 2-6 score, on the following S aturday, for our first victory of the year. The next week, the first state series encounter of the year took place, when B owdoin came to Waterville for the annual game. B owdoin was supremely confident, but a determined, fighting Blue and Gray team could not be denied, and hammered the hapless Polar Bears into subj ection with a 1 4-0 victory. U niversity of Maine was next, and the teams met at Orono, on November 3 . A pouring rain, that continued throughout the entire game, made the playing conditions terrible. Colby marched the entire length of the field o n three occasions, only to be denied a score when the elusive, mud-covered ball slipped away, and was recovered by Maine. Maine threatened but once during the entire game, and the Brice machine was lucky and thankful to be able to hold the fast-stepping C olby team to a scoreless tie. The final game of the year was played with Bates at Lewiston, on November 1 2 . Colby battered her way to a 26-0 v ictory, as the dej ected B obcat again fell a victim to the crushing force of the M u le's blows. The superior running and all-round play of Colby was evident throughout, and Bates never had an opportunity to score. Colby defeated Bowdoin, 1 4-0 ; tied the University of Maine, 0-0, and o utplayed Bates, 26-0. Yet because of the tie game with Maine, the team was forced to share with Maine the honor of being hailed as state champions, as Maine also defeated both Bowdoin and B ates. One hundred fort11-nine

Baseb all Summary Due to the poor conditions of the diamond, it was impossible for the Colby ball tossers to get outside until April 5th. A squad of thirty men reported for the first session. Coaches Roundy and Millet were req uired to b uild a new team, having but several veterans as a nucleus to work with. O'Brien, veteran shortstop, was unable to play, and S hannahan did not report u ntil the second week of practice. Heddericg, a promising freshÂ man, made a c apable backstop for the entire season. The first game of the season, an exhibition game with the University of Maine, was won by the M ules by a 1 0-9 score. In this opener, several pitchers and infield men saw action. MacDonald and Hannifin vied for honors at second base. Klusick, B aldwin and Heal played in the field, La Vigne covered shortstop, Niziolek held down the keystone sack, and Keetj en completed the infield at third. " C H" caught, and Brown and Ferguson alternated at pitcher. The Blue and Gray team opened its New E ngland trip with a 3-3 tie at Brunswick. This game was called in the sixth on account of rain. The next day, the Colby team suffered its first defeat at the hands of the NewÂ port Naval Training S chool at New port. They were also defeated by Providence College, but ended the trip by turning back Rhode Island State. The Varsity won its first State series game, defeating Bates, 5-4. John Trainor a llowed but few scattered hits. The Colby men then turned back Maine, and won its second victory in the series. St. M ichaels fel fan easy victim to the local boys, but they in turn were defeated by New H ampshire and C onnecticut Aggies. Poor weather conditions caused the cancellation of the next series games with Maine and Bowdoin. The Blue and Gray turned back B owdoin at Waterville, to win its third State series victory. I n the deciding game of the season, Colby played erratic ball, and were n osed out of the running by B ates. This placed Colby second in the State series.

The 1 929 Relay season was one of the most successful in the h istory of that sport at Colby. The Blue and Gray runners ran in four races and placed in all. The first race of the season was at the Knights of Columbus Games in B oston, and Colby placed second to the B oston University flyers. At the B oston Athletic Association Games, Colby triumphed over Amherst and Massachusetts Aggies. The next week the Colby quartet placed secÂ ond in a triangular meet with Amherst and Williams at the Millrose Games in New Ymk. The B lue and Gray runners c losed their season with the Meadowbrook Games in Philadelphia and nosed out the crack Georgetown team for a third in the Intercollegiates. The letter men were Captain B rown, Potter, Rivkin, and Sprague.

Dual Track Meet Colby

N ortheastern University

Colby emerged with the short end of a dual track meet, for the first time in three years, when the well-balanced N ortheastern University track team, of B oston, took the Blue and Gray track men into camp by a score of 79-56, on Seaverns Field, May 5, 1928. Colby was seriously handicapped in this meet by the illness of several star men.

Due to the fact that Carlson and Scott were the only letter men left on the H ockey Team from the previous season, prospects for a successful sea son were rather poor. Under the tutelage of Coaches Roundy and Millet a capable team was developed however. Scott, Kenney, and Lovett worked well in the forward ·line while Captain Carlson and Pollard showed well on the defense. Irvine proved himself a oapable goalie. Poor weather handicapped the team throughout the entire season. Snow and rain hindered practice and only half of the games we·re played.

Under the able tutelage of C oach Jack R ogers, a former Colby backfield star, the baby M ules played five games, winning two, tieing one, and losing one.

History of the Develo p ment Fund The Colby College $500,000 Development Fund proj ect is the result of a process of evol ution. It grew out 'Of a motion made by the late Frank E dmunds, '85, who, when he made the motion, was a .member of the B oard of Trustees. Mr. E dmunds was one of the most interested of Colby Alumni in the development of the future Colby. His interest began during his undergraduate days when he was one of the most prominent members of his class. Some ten or eleven years after his graduation from Colby, and after he had become prominent as a New Y ork attorney, Mr. Edmunds founded the New Y ork Colby Alumni A sociation . His interest in the col lege was such that for over thirty years he never missed the annual dinner of the New York group. Nearly every commencement found him back on the Colby campus. So it was when he was serving on the B oard of Trustees in 1 925, that the great need for a new gymnasium for the men's division became im pressed upon his mind. At one of the regular meetings of the board that year, Mr. E dmunds proposed that a committee on ways and means of pro curing a gymnasium be appointed, with President Roberts and the chair man of the board included upon it. Others were to be appointed by the chairman. Mr. Edmunds died shortly after his motion was carried. B ut his plans were already being exec uted. A meeting of the committee resulting from Mr. Edmunds' motion was held soon after the trustees' meeting, and it decided that President Roberts should carry on the campaign for the funds. Although the ravages of his last sickness were then weakening him, President Roberts .desired to carry on the work himself. He communicated with the alumni and friends from whom he solicited both pledges and funds. At his death he had succeeded in securing over forty thousand dollars. The death of the president caused a slowing up of the work for funds, but the committee secured the services of Dr. Herbert C. Libby, who met with further success. It became increas ingly apparent, however, that a full-time man was needed for the work. The figure that the committee had considered adequate for the new gym nasium was $ 1 00,000. When Charles S. Brown of Augusta, director of the campaign, was secured by Vice-President Wadsworth last foll, the figure remained at $ 1 00,000. But at the November meeting of the B oard of Trus tees, Mr. B rown showed j ust how the sum was inadequate and how a much bigger proj ect of development could be undertaken with slightly increased eff�rt. The fi gure he proposed was $300,000. Vice-President Wadsworth One hundred-sixty

had already secured Mr. B rown's services for one year at a salary to be paid by him. The larger p rogram so appealed to the trustees that they at once endorsed it. At this siame N ovember meeting of the B oard of Trustees another im p ortant event occurred. Dr. Franklin W. Johnson, a C olby graduate of the c lass of '91 w as elected p resident of the 0ollege. With his election, optimism and faith in the ultimate s uccess of the gymnasium p roject rose to such heights that at a subsequent .meeting of Dr. Johnson, certain of the trus tees, and Mr. B rown, the figure was again riaised, this time to 500,000 and a general p rogram of development was brought i nto view-primarily a health program with a new gymnasium as the immediate goal, but w ith p lans of a scope heretofore undreamed of. The preliminary work of the Development Fund Committee gained m omentum and when the campaign began on M ay 1 5th, indication of suc cess was more than evident. The fact that Colby's greatest l i ving gradu ates, influential f.riends, and administration were s·o thoroughly behind the movement made this success all the more sure. C ombined with the enter p rise and aiding in its furtherance have been some very fortunate events. The election of President Joh nson, the reappointment of Dr. W ilkinson to the history department, and the election of Dean E r nest C . Ma.r riner are of such importance to the institution that the development seems to have worked itself i nto the very fiber and s ubstance of Colby.

The Alumnae Building If modern h istorians prefer to record, rather than to j udge, past events, how should a prophet dare to speculate o n futures ? When the E d itor of THE ORACLE asked me to disc uss the relation of the new Alumnae B u i lding to the general development of the Women's D ivision of Colby, I said promptly that he was asking me to expound a riddle which m ight baffle Apollo h i mself. It hardly needs a sibyl, how€ver, to reveal the plain, immediate i ntention of the building. H uman plants, like the flowers of the field, need space and sunlight i n which to grow to perfection. What the alumnae have tried to obtain through their seven years' endeavor i s more space and sunlight for Colby girls. The fact that the gymnasium consti t utes the center of the building would indicate that the main purpose is physical education and play, u nder healthful conditions. Though Colby does not advocate i ntercollegiate sports for girls, we m ust not forget that the harmonious development of the body is a very old and noble i deal in education. The Greeks b uilt mental poise upon a physical foundation . P lay, m oreover, has recreative and social u ses which cannot be safely ignored. Beside the play which pleases and develops the muscles, there is the i m itative play, which we call drama, affording an opportunity for youthful actors to g;o a little beyond their own depth i n l ively and e motional expres sion. E m otions need exercise and training and various opportunities for release. The gymnasium in the A lu mnae B ui lding has a stage at one end, so that the room may be u sed on occasion for more or less formal d ramatics. Various social uses for the gymnasium and the rooms which adj oin it, readily suggest themselves. Parties and receptions may here be held u nder pleasant and safe conditions. Several alumnae and friends have cooperated in making the Social Room, with windows toward the west, attractive and l iveable, with n one of the formal chill that would hinder the true purpose of such a place. A Y. W . C . A., or Assembly Room, upstai rs will accommodate religious and other gatherings. Many clubs are now formed under the d ifferent departments of the C ol lege, and these organizations will often be glad to use such a dignified and suitable room. Some meetings of the alumnae will a lso be held here. Perhaps I shall not be misunderstood i f I say that one great secret of l ife is how best to be happy. If the girls who use this b u i lding leave i t O n e hundred sixty-five

C::-'J-w. --:

after four years with a more discriminating understanding of happiness, its determining causes and social relation , the outside world will gain something by their presence. It is to be hoped also that they may someÂ times use the Assembly Room for meetings that concern the problems of citizensh i p which women must now face. One can hardly open a magazine nowadays without finding some study of women in various new relationshi ps and occupations. Some writers, seeming to expect more rapid adaptation to new opportunities than is wholly reasonable, come to very gloomy conclusions. One realizes, at least, after reading such essays, the complexity and challenge of a woman's l ife in the modern world. If the modern woman's problem of adaptation is more difficult even than that of the modern man, surely the educational experiment must take due account of women's needs and possibilities in the new order. The home is still the ba is of society, platitudinous as that may sound, and it is a mistake to think of college women as educated primaril y for professional and business l ife. Though women should be able at need ( and the need is not always a purely financial one ) to realize themselves and serve the community by means of effective labor, the presÂ ent social conditions indicate that both men and women must first of all gain a fairer understanding of the fundamental human relationships. Then both must be trained to be c itizens of the twentieth century world . In Maine, if n o t i n Tennessee, o n e m a y believe in social evolution without danger of being banned. In the educational world of Colby, both men and women have a share. The loyalty and determination of the alumnae, as shown in their present achievement, have won in larger measure the interest and support of the trustees. Perhaps it may not be too much to hope that in future plans for making Colby a college of opportunity and progress, we may all work together for the things that we need. The more generous policy is almost always more fruitful in enduring results. Patience and fairness on both sides will do much to further the best interests of the College as it goes onward toward a broad and hopeful future. By FLORENCE filLIZABETH DUNN.

In the past the name of Colby has been outstanding in Athletics as in Education. Her teams, in pired with the spirit of vietory, but with a sense of sportsmanship and fair play, are known throughout New England. Colby is now blazing new paths into the future with a p rogram of "Athletics for All." The Alumnae Building is nearly completed. The Development Fund as� sures a new Gymnasium and Field House for the Men. It will soon be possible for a greater number of students to enter into, and receive the physical and moral advantages of, athletic competition.

Soon in thy halls, 0 Colby, our voices will echo no more, And unknown feet too soon will tread the paths we trod before. Time has borne us on youth's river far along the tide To the spot where thy harborage recedes on either side. Chorus So Colby, cherished mother, we give our fond goodbyes, A wrench of anguish at ·our hearts and teardrops in our eyes ; With so many poignant feel ings, too mingled all to tell, The gladness of adventure stills the sadness of farewell.

Out to the deep we go now, out to the sea of life To find on her too fickle breast, peace, success or strife. The days we've spent were happy, too swiftly they have flown But here we've learned love, tolerance ; the seeds of l ife were sown.

ED I T O R I AL D u ri ng the i nterval of time that has elapsed since the publication of the last ORACLE, C olby has taken great strides toward the realization of obj ectives heretofore merely d reams. W here an accumulation of signifi cant facts could be noted a year ago, accomplishments of tremendous s ignifi cance can now be indicated. The consummation of these steps and the bright outlook for the immediate future, as well as that more distant, seems to j ustify the statement of Merle C rowell , ' 10, editor of the American Magaine that : "Colby is about to have a rebirth. And a glorious one." A year ago the editor pointed with pride to a Memorial Gate ; a rebuilt Co burn Hall. Today the p resent editor can point, confidently, to a future, rebuilt Colby. T o speak of a "rebu i lt Colby" is not to belittle her past, her service. It is to indic ate the great p rogressive trend that has seized upon her. Prog ress is not heresy i n this modern age. A plan to move the college in its entirety would be evidence of advancement, n ot of i ngratitude. And devel opment does not mean placing Colby i n a position to compete with large u niversities in point of numbers or enrollment. It means giving the select group of students the max i m u m education that a small l i beral arts college can offer. This development has not taken place before because, in the evolution of colleges, the p sychological moment had not arrived. Strong i nstitutions are founded upon modest sites and grow slowly. So i t is with Colby. B ecause a thing h as not been done before is not sufficient reason to obstruct its being done. The action, of course, m ust be consistent w ith for ward-looking policy. And so this motivating spirit i n the fibre and sub stance of C olby, endeavoring �o accomplish new goals, is vigorous, healthy, wholesome. Two things, one the result of ev·olution ; the other the result of great good fortune and unlimited sagaci ty of selection, marked the beginning of the academic year 1 928-1929. The Colby College $500,000 Development Fund idea is the fi rst of these two. I n the minds of the origi nators, M r. Frank E dmunds of New York C ity, and President Arth u r J. Roberts, it amounted to a p roj ected new gymnasium for the men's divisi· on. I n 1928 i t became a $ 1 00,000, $300,000 gymnasium fund, and finally a $ 500,000 Dev€lopment Fund. The second item referred to is the election of Dr. Frankli n Winslow Johnson, '91, as tenth p resident of Colby. H i s election i n November was more than significant. It was coincident with the $300,000 step in the evolution of the Development Fund and r€sulted shortly in its being raised to $ 500,000. Furthermore, it meant that C olby was to have for its p resident a great educator, a department head i n one of the world's largest universities, the i ncarnation and embodiment of C olby's productive qualities.

There are other events, by-products of the developing college, that augur well for the institution. lt had been long felt that Colby should have a dean of men. The A lumnus and the Echo had advocated it, but it was not until the April meeting of the Board of Trustees that the office of dean .of men was re-created. The election of Professor Marriner to the oftice satisfies a need which doubtless was great enough to shorten the l ife of the late President Roberts. H is selection completes the H ierarchy of administrative officials that will swing the new era into full operation. Being one of those remarkable men with executive ability, capacity for detail, and character that demands respect, there is little doubt that the student body will come to respect him even more as dean of men. The acceptance of reappointment as head of the history department by Dr. William J . Wilkinson is another most fortunate event. H is tremendous popularity with Colby students prior to his resignabon from the Colby faculty is ample proof of the wisdom of his reappointment. Nothing can express more truly the sentiment of the students than the words which appeared in the dedicatory note of the ORACLE ·of 1 927 : "Admired as a teacher, respected as a gentleman, and honored as a friend." The women are to be congratulated upon their splendid new recreation center. The completion of the Alumnae Building, a monument to a unified body of Colby women, is material evidence of their desire to make a Colby woman's education a better and more complete accomplishment. To one of their outstanding leaders, and teachers, Dr. Florence E. Dunn, they owe a large measure of appreciation. She has not only made possible the com pletion of the Alumnae Building, but has paved the way for the creation of a quadrangle with Foss Hall and the other dormitories on College Avenue forming the front. It is 1of sigp.al importance that the term "development" does not extend merely to the men's division, nor to class buildings, but extends equally to both divisions. Further indication of the expansion of Colby in .a material way is the purchase of the Bangs Estate 1on College A venue. Although i ts use is not yet decided, the expansion of the college i n that direction makes the street more certainly a college thoroughfare. For all our successful year, the class of 1 929, which will soon consti tute the youngest of Colby Alumni, looks forward to the time when the four centers of the college are developed in a way consistent with Dr. John son's views-when Colby will have an administration building, a l ibrary, a chapel, all equipped equally as well as the new men's gymnasium will be, and the women's recreation center now is. E. E. M., '29. APPRECIATION The ORACLE wishes to thank Professors Libby, Rollins and Chapman for their helpful aid and suggestions and Professor E ustis for his time and consideration. The ORACLE w ishes to thank E rnest Edward Miller, E ditor of the Echo, for his co-operati1on. The ORACLE appreciates greatly the aid of the merchants who have advertised in this book. The Editor wishes to thank the members of his board for their splen did work that made this ORACLE possible. Two hundred two

The Inheritors By A N NIE H OOPER GOODWIN ( I wrote t his ge'm , m y a,d,ored readers, in exquisite Russian. Any discrepancies which may occur are entirely the fault of the t ranslator. ) For my own p art, I should never have considered Nicolai Chubukov and his mother, V.arya, as meek. My error-they were ; for the H oly B ook says that "the meek shall inherit the earth." In some unaccountable way the Chubukovs, male and female, had made elegant and elaborate progress toward that ultimate possession. Varya Chubukov, buxom survivor of a hundred funerals, p ressed as close to the table-edge as her two-story stomach would allow. She pursued the last bit of â&#x20AC;˘ nion around and around the yellow bowl ; she captured it, engulfed it, and licked her fingers shamelessly. O p p osite, her son N icolai leaned back from his well-scraped p late with all the smugness of an overfed gander. H e spoke, "The herring was good tonight, my mother, although the parsley was not over fresh. " H e paused. "Lubov Lapkin is very low." Varya ceased her finger licking. "Ah ! ( That was all she said ) Ah." N ioolai continued, "Lubov is very old. She is l ike to d.i e tonight . " "So ?" Varya r a n h e r tongue along t h e back of h e r spoon. "Ah ! " " S h e lies i n t h e very center of h e r great black bed. T h e white cat yawns beside her." "It is sad, my darling, to die and leave only 1 00,000 r ubles and a great white cat. M arry an heiress, my N i-0olai, and I will have many grandÂ children." "Yes, my mother, perhaps Natalya Trofimov, ( if her rich uncle should see fit to will her his fortune ) . She is rich already in her own right. " " They said he could not last long when Lubov died. I will drive to see Lubov Lapkin this very afternoon, poor soul . " Varya Chubukov rose and w ra pped the cape which had been her dead sister's about her ample bosom . *

Varya c rushed some catnip in her moist fingers and approached the black bed with its pale occupants. "Ah, my darling Lubov, I heard you were ill and I have oome to see you. " The great white cat rose and fondled Varya's pudgy fingers. She stroked the great head, and murmured, "You beautiful cabbage . " T h e w a x of Lubov's face c racked and from t h e ghastly fissure came a whisper, "I am dying." " Dying ? God save u s ! W hat are you goin g to do w ith your cat ?" Two hundred three

The figure trembled. "If I only knew. He is all I have." The voice p ulsed on more distinctly. "Varya-he loves you-never before have I seen him permit another to caress him. Swear that you will care for him and I will leave you everything." Varya quivered with rapture and pleasure. Her fingers tightened on the great cat. "1 shall love him for his own sake, as my own child, ( and for your sake, dear Lubov. ) Already he is the apple of my eye. Him will I ·c herish while breath lasts." She gave free rein to her tongue and it gal loped on and on. A notary drew u p the will immediately, and while the death rattle shook Lubov's wind-pi pe, the great white cat purred under Varya's twitch ing hands. And that was that ! *

Varya loved the splendor of her new home ( she and N icolai moved in, in time for evening coffee ) . She would have spent a pleasant evening, counting the 100,000 rubles and planning the disposal of Lubov's worn-out body, had she not heard Olga, the maid servant, mention that Dashenka Petrovich ( little widow of the Pyotr Petrovich ) was dying of hemorrhage. "Little fathers, and I so weary," sighed Varya as she drew the cape once more about her robust form, .and stepped down the w ind-bitten street. Little D ashenka was very low i ndeed. Her sweet, pointed face was framed i n a .mass of heavy red hair. Her scarlet cheeks were p itifully thin. The servants were trying to ease her tortured p assing. Varya came through the vestibule and found fat, l ittle Marya playing by herself in the corner. Varya picked the child up and p lacing her on the upper deck iof her stomach puffed into the sickroom. Varya smiled at the child with an effusive sugariness. She approached the bed and lifted the molten mass of hair from the bl ue-veined forehead. "Ah, my darling Dashenka, I heard you were ill, and I have come to see you." The child fingered the tassel which hung from Varya's bodice. V.arya buried her third chin in the child 's ringlets. "You lovely l ittle cabbage !" she mur mured. The blood-flecked Ups of the sick woman parted. "I am dying ! Oh ! my every hair aches and throbs." One china hand brushed fretfully at the mass of red. "Dying, my D ashenka ? God save us ! What are you going to do with your child ?" The lips quivered. "If I only knew. I am all she has. Pyotr-" Vary a set the child on her fat, little feet. "Shan't I cut your hair, dear D ashenka ? It would be so much cooler." Snip, snip-the scissors n ibbled the rippling fodder from the feverish head. "You are so kind, Varya ; if I could only-" A gush of hot blood silenced her tongue. "Would you___:c ould you, Vary a, care for my l ittle Two hundred four

M arya, when I am gone ? I will give you half of the estate. O ne-half of it to be saved for M arya when she shall be grown. It i s a large estate. " Varya bit her tongue to keep f r o m smacking her l ips. " E ven if it were half as large, dear D ashenka, I w ould be only too glad. I shall love her as m y own Nicolai. A lready she is the apple of my eye. Her will I cherish while breath lasts-" The wild man of her tongue broke l oose and ran free i n the wind. A n otary came and drew the agreement that very hour and the child whimpered i n Varya's arms while little Dashenka played w ith death and l ost. Varya returned home after midnight with l ittle M arya wrapped in a blanket. The white cat yowled before the c losed door of L ubov's room. Varya p laced the child i n her own bed and coaxed the beast to the fireside. She caressed it with one newly gemmed hand while she sipped away a de canter of vodka. *

N icolai b reezed in, slightl y drunk. While his mother had made her call he had attended to some business of his own. Peter Fedotik, dying of black-leg, left a pretty wife and a notable tract of timber. N icolai had called. " I am sorry to hear you are ill, Peter Fedotik. " "Ill ? I am dying," moaned Peter Fedotik. "Dying ? God save us ! And leaving your little w ife alone." " I am, because I must. N icolai you are experienced i n money mak i ng. Will you take power of attorney for my w ife and make money from my timber for her." Nicolai smiled sadly. "It b reaks my heart, b ut yes I will do it my brother. Already I love her as my sister. She is the apple of my eye. Her will I cherish ( for you, my dear Peter ) as long as b reath shall last." The p ower of attorney was granted that very hour. And that was that ! "Ah m other, you are home again. I have had a bit of l uck." And he told her. "And I , my turnip. " And she told him. "And this ?" N i colai touched the parcel by the samovar. "Ah-that you must take to the barber's in the morning, my c abbage. I t i s D ashenka's hair. It will drag in a :few rubles by the tail . " Nicolai looked at h e r with b uttery eyes. -"My j ewel, you a r e all thoughtful, you are a l obster for rubles. - I have seen Nataly.a this even ing my mother. Her uncle has d ied and done the right thing by her. She is a rose among daisies. She has the bloom of a n unplucked p each. Her body is the work of an artist and as sweet as honey grass. She i s beau tiful and her p urse is very full. I encouraged her tonight, my mother . To morrow I shal l speak to her. It will not do to wait too long." The great cat yawned and stretched, and shed many white hairs on his trousers. Two hu1idred fi1,e

" Peter Fedotik blessed me, my mother, " he gasped. "God keep you from designing j ewesses, neu rotic women, scientific £.arming and Siberian uncles." Then he spat out his soul. Poor turkey,-so young,-he did not yet know how to wipe his own nose. ( Nicolai crunched a savory nut. ) "But Natalya, " he actually purred, "Do you know, my mother, I have a sweet tooth for women. One day when my calves are grown to cows, I shall have a great family. Natalya is rich in h ousehold goods. I shall surely speak tomorrow." But Varya's third chin had dropped on the upper deck for a nap. A dreadful snore shook her bountiful frame. *

The beautiful Natalya called next morning, while the Chubukovs were still slobbering their eggs. Natalya was very comely, but she was an extraordinariJ woman. She belonged to that group of extraordinary women who l ove men in their de cline. Gay plumage did not interest her ; draggled wings were her j oy . That was why she had married Anton Korolenko the previous evening, soon after Nicol·ai's encou ragement. Anton's j acket was ragged and his laugh like the neighing of horses ? Nicolai noted this as they entered. Natalya curtsied . "My sweet Varya, I am leaving for America, with my new husband this very morning. We have sold all of my goods and I have brought you, my deair Nicolai, the comb which my sainted family has used for generations. Goodbye, dear Varya, and you, my darling Nicolai. One can get oysters any day at all in America." The happy couple left. "Ah ! " shrilled Varya, "she h as married that flap-eared sausage. Oysters indeed ! You wooden-headed muj ik. She is married ! Now you must angle for Fedotik's widow. " Her tongue gall oped on. N icolai stood and blinked like a whacked donkey.

You were so angry, Flung your head so high, So sure-so p roudW e laughed, the wind and I. You were so wrong, dear And I was right. And yet, the wind and I Will sob tonight.

DUST

While mounting to the milky way U pon a starry n ight, I gazed u pon the sleeping earth And wondered at the sight. Here were people far below me Who l ived and loved and died ; Were they content with their dull fate, Or had they ever tried Like me to trail amidst the stars, Mount the horns of the moon, Feel the thrill of the fancy world Which fades, alas, too soon. I pondered as I gazed below, And pitied those who slept, Who never trod the milky way Nor starlight vigils kept ; Who had never chased the moonbeams I n starry fields on high, Nor r idden the fiery comets That sweep across the sky. I suppose sleep is more soothing, The prick of stars may hurt ; B ut how m uch better is star dust Than ordinary dirt. B . M . P., '29.

Boundaries ( "After the m anner of" the world's highest paid short story writer )

MacDonald liked to visit Harry Barnaby's place. Harry had a lot of good books-many of them first editions. He had an eye for prints, too. There was usually some gu inea wine in the cupboard and occasionally a quart of Scotch, that Harry bought from an old fisherman at the foot of State Street. The gang liked to gather there and sing and gossip and dance and make love. It was all very casual. They were all good-looking, rather c lever people. MacDonald l iked to sit back and listen. He was amused at the little by-plays he aw, and the innuendoes he heard from one corner to the other. Occasionally he was slightly di mayed at the way in which the casual atmosphere developed into one of slackness. One must have a few moral convictions, you know. You can't be "emancipated" without having a few restrictions. MacDonald saw the value of inhibitions. *

There was the ca e of Fred and Ruth, for instance. Fred reported for the Post, and sold an occasional short story to the magazines. One day he covered a fire in J ordan-Marsh's basement. He got talking to one of the salesgirls, and in his impulsive fashion , decided to bring her up for the gang to see. She was a si lent, Japanese-looking little thing, with beautiful skin and delicate hands. Her inscrutable manner repelled the girls, but the men were quite excited about her. She wasn't well educated, but she had a surprisingly shrewd j udgment concerning all the latest books and plays. Fred was quite proud of his find. After a few weeks, they took a tiny apartment, not far from Harry's place, and she became a silent but appreciative member of the gang. She was an enigmatic l ittle devil. Fred, with his fondness for the bizarre, fell madly in love with her. Then George Dervin came back from New York. Harry staged a royal welcome for him. MacDonald qu ietly managed to get sixteen tickets for the first night of Jane Cowl. After the play, the eight couples had sup per at the little place that Dervin had discovered. Dervin danced with R uth, while Fred went out to look for some liquor. *

MacDonald, dancing with Dervin's girl, kept a speculative eye on the

"Dervin is a good-looking man. I don't blame her. " MacDonald looked quickly a t h i s partner. "You noticed it, too ?" he asked . "I think she is j ust playing. Fred is number one with her. " A few minutes later, MacDonald drew Dervin into a corner. " Hist, my Romeo," he sai d . "Don't dance l ike that. She's Fred's." "I beg the absent Fred's pardon, " said Dervin, contritely. "I didn't realize he was serious about her. " MacDonald's quietl y interposed words didn't avert the climax, how ever. For two weeks there was no sign of anything amiss. Then Mac D onald happened to walk i nto the Old France, about two o'clock i n the

morning. Ruth and Dervin were sitting at a small table in the corner. Dervin was talking fer ently to the girl, who was l istening i mpassively, as usual. MacDonald walked over to their table. " Greetings, you two. Where' s Fred ?" Dervin looked up, startled. " Hello, Mac. Fred is covering a murder out in Roslindale ; so we are out on a n ight-hawking tour." After a few more words, MacDonald sauntered out. The next night everyone went over to Harry's. Harry had become acquainted w ith a n utty Belgian poet and had persuaded h i m to read his poems at the apartÂ ment. H e was a ridiculously affected fellow, and the gang were enj oying him thoroughly. Dervin was there, slightly drunk. The party grew noisier and noisier. MacDonald, from his favorite seat i n the corner, saw Dervin pull R uth into the hallway and heard them run downstairs. Fred was apparently engro sed i n a new dance step, which one of the girls was doing. MacDonald quickly followed the couple and caught them j ust as they were about to step i nt o Dervin's roadster . "It isn't being done, George. N ot among friends, you know . " "Look here, M a c , t h i s is none of y o u r business. R u t h h a s h e r stuff packed for a week, and we're hitting the road for New York r ight now. Aren't we, R uth ?" R uth merel y smiled. MacDonald went on, " It's your fault, George. R uth doesn't understand the code under which our friends operate. But you know. And ) o u realize that if you two leave now, it will be for good. And remember, too, that Fred will be all cut u p about it. Are you sure it's worth i t ? It's not so much a q uesti on of m orals, but simply of good taste among friends. " Dervin hesitated. Then h e shifted the gears viciously, and the car slid around the corner and out on the Providence road. MacD onald, slowly climbing the stairs, met Fred coming down. "Where are you ,g-oing, Fred ?" " Have they gone ?" "Yes. D i d you expect it ?" "I h ave for two weeks. I didn't want to do anything about it, because I wanted to test Dervin. Ruth is only another woman, b ut I was counting on Dervin. It makes you feel rotten. doesn't it ?" MacDonald d i dn't answer, but took the other man's arm and walked u pstai rs with him. *

Two months later, the gang was gathered at the Old Yrance again. It was a merry, noisy party . Suddenly one of the girls pointed to the door. Ruth was standing there, alone. S oon she recognized the group, and walked up to Fred's place. She looked very tired and unhappy . " M ay I sit i n ?" she asked. Fred t urned to the comoany. "What do you say, folks ?" One by one, they turned their thumbs down, like a Roman audience. "You see, R uth ?" asked Fred gently. The girl smiled wearily, and went out i nto the street. It was a pity, MacDonald thought, b ut after all, you must have some boundar ies. Âˇ

The Pursuit of Happ iness A Freshman Theme by MARTH A J O H NSTON Why do people h urry so ? E very day, every hour, every minute, some one i s rushing from this to that, from that to this, never pausing to think, hardly stopping to breathe. Girls dash from class to chapel, from chapel to class, from class to lunch, from lunch to a bridge party, from anywhere to anywhere else-it doesn't seem to matter, as long as they are continu ally "on the go". Popu larity depends on the number of "dates" and social affairs one has-at least, that seems to be the opinion of "the young people of today . " ( What an over-worked phrase that is, by the way. ) Why are "the young people of today" going straight to perdition, according to their straight-laced elders ? D on ' t you suppose that this attitude of horror and up-lifted hands on the part of the older generation is at l east partly due to the brisk, h urried, even b reathless life of the young people ? B ut I wonder whether it is p ossible to be "in the running, " to "keep up w ith the times," without chasing about from morning till morning again. Would i t be high treason for me to say that I should rather be left in some back-water, w ith leisure to think things through and get a n ormal perspective of the great ocean of life than be r ushed headlong, pell-mell i nto that ocean w i th no experience, no training ? L ife is such a p roblem, even after careful training and bringi ng-up ; what can it be to those who have i t thrust upon them, so to speak ? It may be that those who si mply l ive, with no thought of why, what, o r wherefore, a r e happier than more c onscientious souls w h o religiously tear themselves to rib bons to discover their thoughts, emotions, and morals. And the thoughts, emotions and morals which they possess at one time may c hange entirely i n a year. Must they pass through the awful grilling and torture again ? Ambition is detrimental to art. That sounds l ike a contradiction ; I suppose .ambition is an art in itself. This is a case in which words are de ceptive. By ambition I mean desire, overwhelming desire for p ower, for wealth, for fame, d istinction. And by art I mean-wel l what, after all, d oes art mean ? There is industrial art, mechanical art, art i n business ; the a rt that I mean i s mastery of a certai n branch of learning. An artist in the E nglish language i s a complete master of the i ntricacies of grammar, i dioms, and phraseology. An artist in music is one to whom every shadow of a tone has a meaning, a vital q uality. I should l ike to be a master of the art of being leisurely. Now it takes a great man to loaf well. To keep calm ·a nd u nconcerned when you don't know where your next meal is coming from-that I con sider an art. Worry is the chief enemy of happiness.

Taking a case more nearly affecting us, imagine a man preparing for a final examination. He thinks of ·all sorts of "trick questions" which the instructor might be un pleasant enough to ask, and in searching for out-of-the-way i nformation, overlooks the representative facts which the professor asks for on account of their importance. Personally, I have never yet taken an examination as hard as I expected it to be. Returning to l oafing as an art ; perhaps I should qualify loafing ( not a very pretty word, to be sure ) a l ittle. There is a world of difference be tween people who loaf in that they do absolutely nothing at all, and people who are not directing all their forces to one ultimate goal, who loaf in that they are not devoted to one particular work. The sort of loafing that I mean is doing nothing in particular, but everything in general. Anatole France was a master in that art. ll fia nait. He browsed around, knocking against all sorts of people ; his French was very poor i n school, yet he is now famed as one of the greatest of French authors. Loafing was his policy-I wish I might succeed as well with it as mine. All this may sound like a very radical doctrine-what would happen to the world if everyone decided to devote himself to the art of loafing ? Yet it cannot be denied that ·at pr�sent the world is much too p ractical ; how can a medium be struck ? In this age of electricity, who cares about the civilization of Persia in the time of C roesus ? Probably I shall be another of the m illions who teach in a high school for a few years, then marry and bury their intellects i n routine. B ut I have a great desire to flaner-to live as I please for a while. And what I should like to be-well, Sam Walter Foss and I are of much the same mind. Let me l ive in a house by the side of the road Where the r.ace of men go by, The men that are good and the men that are bad, · As good and as bad as I . . I would not sit in the scorner's seat, Nor hurl the cynic's ban. Let me live in my house by the side of the road, And be a friend to man. .

FAIR

DAY I

The Fair Day morn was fresh and cool. The shamrocks in the glen Were splendid i n the silvery shawls The dew had made for them. The j aunting car was polished brightÂ ' Twould please a coachman's heart. Each color strong, each brave design, Bespoke the painter's art. II Ten dusty miles to Galway townÂ B ut what was dust to me, Who knew that at the j ou rney's end My heart would leap to see A laughing rogue, w ith eyes of blue, Who swore his love for me ? III Th e F a i r Grounds reached, a happy lass Was thrilled to hear the crowd Of Maggie men and card-trick men, S ing out their wares aloud. Her love-lit eyes sought o ut one face, Among the hundred score. Alas ! her eyes will always seek And find him never more. F. C . F., '29.

A SPINSTERIAN S TANZA They call m e a fussy, perfinicky maid ; They rail at me, taunt me, leave nothing unsaid ; They call u p past scandals, and tell my affairs ; Delight to torment me and add to my cares, B ut it's all 'cause they're j ealous as j ealous can be That they're not unmarried and old maids l ike me !

YOUR

GINGER

JAR

It came from a shop on Boylston street, Nearly a year ago. A shop where j ag-scaled dragons sprawl And ramp and snort along the wall Sweet dusk-a j ade and copper shawl, The trousered form of a slant-eyed doll. ( Only a year ago ? ) It seemed s o j ovial, green-blue a n d squat, Even a year ago. We laughed ; you loved its "pottyness" And I was glad, I must confess, That I had made the lucky guess. You broke the seal of the pudgy jar Nearly a year ago. Incense rose from the open crock ; It smiled in its ragged wicker frockÂ Cold tide full-ebbed and a ginger rock. You had "first taste"- ( ! saw you smile) Nearly a year ago. You gave me some with finger tips : " Take care, the golden syrup drips ! " T h e ting-tang taste b i t eager lips. It is almost gone. I brought it home Nearly a year ago. Pale amber crystals line the j ar, But the fragrance still can bear us far Through Camel-land and spice bazaar. The year has left me one deep scarI have one thing no year can mar. The dreams packed in your ginger j ar. A. H . G., '29

They have thrown you i nto priso n ; Cajoled, their bloated kingsÂ And laughed because you told them That p rison walls h ave wings. And they tell me, b rave A rturo, That the Devil's in your talk, And they tell me that your way I s not the way they walk. They speak the truth i n all their folly : They speak the truth about your wayÂ B ut their children are your children N o matter what they say. F. C. F., '29.

SONNET TO WEALTH At night, the city is a fog-drenched screen Of blended tones from misty gray to black. The church spires trace aloft a dusky track Of pointing fingers, sign of faith serene. Below, the g1ay shop-windows subtly preen Themselves to make the passers-by turn back And gaze upon the beauties 'till they rack With hunger. Only maddening is the sheen Of silk to him who toils in rage for bread. One diamond on its background of soft j et Would make one hundred workmen hunger free. Unfair ! And yet-the centuries have said : "When states more wearers of fine clothes beget, More builders of tall churches there can be." L. W., '30.

I wanted a unique renown, A glory quite apart ; I wrote a story of a clown Who had no broken heart. P., '29.

Who never wept Has never laughed, Who never l aughed Has never l ived. I pity those Who never weep. F. C . F., '29.
