A certain amount of good old Vermont philo ophy blended with four year 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 ea y after four year away, but a determination that went beyond difficult com·ses came to the fore and the boy from Saxton's River oon became one of Professor Eu tis' keene t students. Al has al o served as Herby Newman's right hand man in plan ning the work of the Y. M. C. A. For h i more than usual common sen e and 11is ner everance, Alex is sure to make his mark i n the business world.

E velyn has shown us that she is a gracious hostess as well as a clever writ�r-bri dge, j ournalism, and school teachi n g are her main i nterests. Her soft voice and smi le with a flash of dimples often accompanies some r i d iculous observation which makes us enj oy being with her.

She has had work as well as play, the only difference being that her smi le surmounted difficulties and made them seem j ust li ttle pebbles in a great rushing stream.

D ot's a ppearance is synonomous with dignified serenity. B ut appearances are quite deceiving as any one may vouch who has seen her smi le and dance.

H i s personality is one that fitted well i nto the trying office of manager of Colby tr2ck.

"Life ·is A ction." " M ac's" career at Colby has meant four years of real hard work . During this time he has made a name for himself not only a s a good student, but a a friend to everyone. H is persistence and personal ity, together with his abil ity to olve math and physics problems have made him an ideal example for every Freshman to follow. Be it not thought, however, that his analytical powers have been di rected enti rely toward curricula r activities ; on the contrary the fair ex ha taken much of his attention. If " M ac" teaches like he plays bridge we know that he will be succe sful in the teaching profession.

Is she the kind of girl who gets a box from home, and hidE:s it under the bed ? I should say not ; A nd she is the handiest person to have around during exams because she knows so much.

Junior Class History We, of the class of '32, ar·e fast a pproaching the end of our career at Colby.

There has been a change since we were fi rst introduced to our

Alma Mater and the cha nge has been infin itely for the better.

Colby has

done m uch for us,-she has helped us grow, to increase in capacities and capabilities.

We hope that the same Colby spirit m ay be taken with u s

w h e n o u r l ast y e a r has passed and we emerge Colby men of t h e h ighest character. A s fresh men, sophomores and Juniors we have tried to carry on the i deals of those who h ave p receded us.

We have tried to make the name

of Mother Colby sh ine out above all others.

Junior C lass History It was with gratification and a certain a m o u nt of pardonable p r i de that we c·eased to be "wise fool s . " H owever, we b ore the a ppellation w ith forti t u d e b ecoming to C olby women, and nev·er had cause to doubt our wisdom. Now w ith the anticipation of n oble minds we face m onths, d ur ing which we will be a rock of foundation for the Seniors and the ideal of perfection toward which i t i s fitt ing for all S ophomores to strive. We h a ve been singled out for extraordinary h onors, not the least of which has bee n c om pu lsory gym, but let u s look ahead with c o u rage, mem bers of '32, believing in C olby and the divine right of the J unior Class.

So p homore Class History Last year a timid, hesitant group of little Freshman girls h ad the courage to proph esy that i n time the Olass of 1 933 would be one of the most outstanding classes in Colby. This year we have brought about to a l arge degree the real izathn of that p rophecy. Girls of 1 933 are active in every chan n el of college life.

The knowledge of what Colby stands for has p ro

vided us w ith the i ncentive to i ndividual ly excel in e verything that is dear to her. H owever, sinc·e our actions will be remembered l onger than our words, i n our rem a i n i n g Y·cars at Colby we . hall strive to give her the most worthy of our deeds.

Freshman Class History O u r days have be2n few at Col by, but from the fi rst we h ave striven to make ourselves better C olby men .

We are ent i r·ely grateful t o the Sopho

more class for the kind tutorag·e tended u s from the fi rst.

We also hope

that they m ay see a lesson i n the experienc·e of Bloo dy Monday n i ght-not that we intended to question their superiority !

Perhaps the lesson was

for our use next year, enabling u s to attain somewhat m ore success. We are confident that o u r abilities will i nc rease and finally make us the o utstanding class of Colby.

Freshman Class History Si nc·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 fi rst

few weeks in becoming acquai nted with new friends, professors and p on derous volu mes from which we are to r·eceive great knowledge. We rached the end of this period of adj ustment w ith flying c ol ors and found the road to success with little difficulty .

Already we have become out

stand i ng in scholarship and prominent i n social acti viti-es.

The obstacles

which we have met and surmounted have taugh t us how to overcome our f uture problems. E ven though we have made a fine beginning our founda tion is far from completion for our aim is to place ·each brick so c arefully that it cannot he m oved. M ay our ach ievements be so great that the Class of 1 934 will go d own in history as one of merit and d istinction .

Football Review W ith the lo of only th ree regulars from the 1 929 season there were great pro pects of a State Champion hip for Colby this year. H owever, as the season progre sed, thing began to look more gloomy. Many inj urie i n the early games forced Coach Roundy to make a large numher of changes in both line and backfiel d . In the Lowell Textile game the Mule h it its stride and kept i t throughout the . ea on. Although Colby did not win over Maine or Bate , it howed fta hes of a real offen ive, and it was only a stub b orn Maine team and defen ively powerful Bate ·eJ.even that stopped the Mules. After two week of pre-sea on training, Colby opened the season on S.ept. 2 7th, when the team j ourneyed to M i dd letown, Conn . , and took the highly-touted Wesleyan eleven i nto camp to the t u ne of 1 3-6. The score would have been much greater had it not been for ome costly fumbJ.es by Colby when with i n a few yard of the goa l . O ne of the o utstanding fea t u res of the game wa the fine exhibition of punting by C aptain 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 l ine, wa cored on twice i n the fi rst five min utes of p1ay. At thi p oint Coach Roundy ent in the regulars, and although they were scored on twic·e m or·e i n the first half they displayed their fighting spirit. D uring the last half Springfield added but one more touchdown, making the final score 33-0 . The following Saturday the White Mule received its sec ond defeat of the season from the Tufta J u m bo. This was an evenly con tested game and a lthough 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 the week before. Captain Dono an and D avan, a Soph omore, shone on the offense for Colby. On O ctober 1 8th, Colby, back on its own field m ade up for i ts two defeats by blanking Lowell Textile 1 9-0. Colby's aerial attack wa the best seen on Seaverns Field for years. The State Series opened on October 25th, when the kicking Colby Wh ite M u le dug her heels i nt o a slimy fi.eld of m u d and battled the cocky B owdoin B ears to defeat in one of the most c ou rageous conflicts ever staged on Sea verns Field . Bowdoin scor·ed t h e first touchdown i n t h e opening min u tes of play. Colby came back a few minutes later to even up the score. From this time on every thing was Colby's, the final score heing 20-7, " M ose" Johnston being responsible for all three of Oolby's touchdowns. Colby's aspirations to gain the State Series t itle were blasted when they suffered a 1 4-6 defeat at the hands of the Maine B ears on November 1 st, at Orono. It was by far the most ·exciting game of the year to watch, and but for a fateful third period, Maine was clearly outplayed. The ra lly which the M ules staged i n the l ast few minutes of play had many a Maine rooter shaking beneath his coonskin. On Armistice Day, Colby again met w ith defeat, thi time from the powerful Bates aggregation. After keep ing the ball i n B ates territory the fi rst half, the Colby defense weakened for a m oment in the third period allowing Bates to score twic·e. To the un prej udiced spectator Colby outplayed Bowdoin, fought on even terms with M a i ne, and were excelled by B ates. By winning one game and losing two C olby tied with Maine and Bowdoin for second place i n the State Series. Ont! h u ndred forty-four

B aseball Summary Twenty-fou r candi dates answered the call for the varsity baseball team issued by Co[:i.ch R o undy at the cpening of the 1 93 0 s·eason. S uc h veterans as C a p t a i n K l usick, B r o w n , Thornton, Hed de ricg, Ferguson, L ovett, D eetj en, M a n ·field, Karkos, and R obert were among those to report. The pitch ing problem p roved a hard one from the start, B !"own bei n g the only vet eran. H owe' er, before the season was over, both R oberts and M ansfiel d t u r n ed i n some fine exhibitions on the mound. A nother problem that faced C oach Roundy was the i nfi el d particularly first a n d e c o n d base. A fter some consideration by the C o a c h , Donovan was elected for fi rst b ase, while Ferguson and Davan took t u rns at sec on d. The openi g game of the season was with M a ine which Colby won 4-2. T he second game, play·ed the following week with Bowdoin r es u lted in a 1-7 defeat. Col by's i nvasion of M assachusetts and Rhode Island resulted i n three reverses a n d one w i n for the local club. They won from B oston U n i versity 1 2-7 i n a game featu red by the pitch i ng of M ansfield. The l osses wer·e t o N ortheastern University, H arvard, and B rown Un iveri ty . H arvard had a surprise of their l i ves when Colby sluggers piled u p a lead of 8-2 at the end of the fifth i nn i ng. In the l ast half of the fi ft h , B rown, on the m o u n d for Colby, weakened and H arvard h ad thei r f u n b y gather i ng e i ght r u n . The fi n al sc ore was 8-12. After this trip the State Series was i n full swi ng. Col by won two i n a row ; one from M a i ne and one from B ates. Things l ooked brigh t for the Colby team , but it d i d n ot last l on g. The next two games were l ost to ..

Bowdoin and Maine respectively. They were cl ose games a n d the Roundy men, although losi ng, gave two fine exhibitions of b aseball. The next gam e wa w i t h Bowdoin at B runswick , and was the best g a m e of the y e a r . R ob ert , on the mound for Colby, p itched them to a 4-3 vict ory. Following this w i n came the dish eartening defeat at the hands of M a ine. It was this game that practically p ut the M ules out of the Champi onsh i p running. The d ouble-header p layed with B ates, May 2 7th, found b oth clubs sluggin g the pill all over the lot. B ates won the morning game 10-17 and Colby stopped B ates 1 2-2 i n the afternoon tilt. The l ast game was played with B owdoin a t Brunswick and res ulted i n a 2-3 d efeat. It was a very well played game and exc iting to the spectator. Summing it all u p one can say that Colby had a fair season. They broke even on the State Seri·es games, w i n n ing six and losing six. A lthou gh the c h a m p i onsh ip went to M a i ne, it is i nteresting to note that in State Series play, C olby scor·ed seventy-seven runs to their oppon ents' se e nty four.

Freshman Baseball During its 1 930 season the Freshman Ball Club played twelve games. O f these it won only from H i ggins and Coburn. H owever, the team showed consid erable power, and many of the games were very close. This m ay be shown by the fact that d uring the season it succeeded in piling u p 70 runs against its opponents' 8 1 . B i ll M illett deserves credit for his dil igent work as coach. The m anner in which he developed such men as Ackley, Skillin, and Walker is sign i ficant i n itself. Before the season closed, Skil l i n was pitching excellent ball and was a i ded d u ring the season by Walker and Bryan as well as o�hers. O utstanding men on the team, a mong others, were Walker, Thomas and Zes ers3on. Walker's pitching against M. C.

This year Colby became a member of the New England Forensic Conference. The p u rpose of this league is to facilitate the securing of debates among New E ngland coll eges. The season cl oses with the Provincial Conv·ention which will be held at Bowling Green. As a Colby team went last year to the great biennial convention at W ichita, Kansas, so this year a debating team from the coll ege will attend the provincial meeting. Under the coaching of Dr. Libby, Colby has turned out some very competent debaters in the past. This year has been no exception. On h u n cl r i fifty-eight

Woman ,s Debating T earn F o r the fi rst time i n the h i tory o f the College, members o f the Women's D i ision have emerged as intercollegiate d ebaters . m arks their a d ent.

This year

Two of them participated i n what was known as an

i nternational d ebate when they took opposite sides of the questi on dealing with Nationalism, each having as a co�league a visiting d ebater from the S cott i h Uni er ities.

Later in the year, four of them participated i n

debat es w i t h M i d dl eb u ry Coll ege, ·w ith the Univer i ty of M aine, a n d with B ates College.

They have taken part in such n umber of intercollegi ate

debating c ontests as m ake them eligible to m embership in Colby's alpha chapter of the n ational forensic soc i ety of P i Kappa Delta . That the members of the Women's D i vision have not hitherto taken p art i n interc ollegi ate debates i s not to be i nterpreted t o mean that there was any d ea rth of ability b ut rather that they see m e d to find no i nterest i n d ebating work.

B ut this year m arks the period o f a wakening, a n d t h e four

young l a d i es who have been winning v ictories on the debater's p latform will, in the long years t o come, be looked upon as pioneers in this i nter esting scholastic field. Writing e d itorially i n the Col b ia n a , P rofessor Libby, coach of debate, ha

this to say of women debaters : "Op ini ons may differ about the quest i on as to whether women-o u r

Colby women-ca n compete successfully w ith men on t h e debater's plat form.

B ut evidence i n the affirmative i

constantiy inc reasing.

that women cannot r·eason well, cannot a na lyze, cannot think through t-0 right conclusion s i s to say what i s sheer nons·ense. rel ic of th e time of man'

That th eory is but a

Editorial A nother year has pa s _d and with it comes the reti remen t of another ORACLE Board . We have d i l igently end eavored to prod uce another annual worthy of the col lege and cla which i t represents. In its pages we have striven to depict as viv i dly as po sib l.r, the l i fe and ·activiti es a t t he College during the yea r which i clo ing. It has been a year of excit ing pro pects a transition period in the h i story of our beloved institution . To clearly and a uthentically show the progress of such a period i s a task d ifficult indeed, for i t i s a period of steady change. Even at the time of writing, new propo als are being made and new plans ad opted which cannot possibly be incl uded before this book goes to press . The more com plete story we must leave to th ose who follow u s . A s members of the College w e a r e n o t alone in our intense feeling for its progress and welfare. The citizens of Waterville have clearly demontrated their interest by donating the magnificent tract of land shown else where in the pages of this book. Details for the construction of the new campus are fa t taking form and new buildings completely ·equ ipped with modern facilities will be erected on the slopes of Mayflower H ill. When comp leted we feel that Colby College will have a home second to none in its natu ral beauty. Construction plans are u nder the d irection of J . Fredrick Larson, reputed as the leading arch itect of college buildings in America, and famous for his magnific ent work at D artmouth College which he has recently completed . I nterest is h igh over the proj ect and the future i s gen erally being a nticipated with great pleasur·e and pride. The work of our able President d·eserves no l i ttle commen dation. W ith the passing of another year, the l ife of a nother of Colby 's beloved professors has been closed . With the passing of Professor Henry Emerson Tr·efethen the College has distinctly felt a vacancy. True to his l ife's work and the i nstitution which he loved s o dearly, Professor Trefethen main tained h i s ·efforts to the end, unselfishly gi ving- h i s all for the l ives of the young men and women i r.. which he was so vitally i nterested. We can express the feeling of the student b ody no better than by repeating "he was loved by all." With the publication of thi<> book comes the resignation of D r . J ul i an D. Taylor . professor of the Latin Language and Literature in Colby Col lege for s ixty-three years . Dr. TayJor i s the oldest active p rofessor at any i nstitution in t he Un ited States. The reti rement of Dr. Taylor brings to a close a brilli ant car2er of u nceasing service to mankind and to the col lege to which he has so utterly devoted his energies . � ver active and ever anxious to assume not only h i s share of responsibil ity, but more, he has carved a place in the hearts of all who h ave known him and who have come under h i s excellent leadersh ip. Probably no man connected with the Col lege i s so widely known as he, h aving had contact with its graduates for such a span of years, and none sp.eak with other than highest esteem for the life and work of the College ' s oldest professor.

The old gym has been completely remod·eled increasing its fac i l i ties to a great extent. New showers, l ocker rooms, offices, and modern equipment i:renerally has been added. The Athlet i c B u i lding has been completed w i th a fi n e c i nder track and ample space for winter baseball, football and track. I t has been pronounce d as good as any i n New E ngland and i n c onj unction with the newly ren ovated gym , Colby's athletic equipment, although n ot i d eal. is by far the b est in its h istory . Records of the activities of l ast year's grad uates of this c ol lege show that fifty per cent a r·e l ocated i n the field of business. This fact i s signifi cant since its gra d uates have i n pre i ou s years, to a far greater percentage, e n tered the field of edu cation. It clea·rly dem onstrates that Colby i s follow ing t he ideal of the Liberal Arts College, and i n giving its stud ents a t r u ly liberal e d ucation is extend i ng its influence i nto varied fields of endeavor. M uc h c u rrent agitati on i s evident among students and faculty a like relativ-e to F reshmen. Such feeling arises from t he pr oblems of hazing, a n d pledging-two p roblems which have for some t i me f.elt the need of attention. A notable st.ep was taken l ast fall by the admi nistration's mak ing it requ i site for Freshmen to live in the two freshmen dorm itories dur ing their entire freshman year. E ach dormitory has a proctor from the faculty and the system has p roven invaluable i n b u ilding u p a u nified spirit among the class. Colby has not shown itself a ntiqu ated by d oggedly hold ing fast t o the outworn tradition of Bloody M on day N i ght. E vents which happened l ast fall i n con nection with this ·event p resented the p roblem all too vividly, and action was taken by the Student Council at that time which banned the rough ness forever. At the p resent mom ent t h e various fra ternities are drawing u p tentative rush ing systems which will b e p resented for c onsideration by a representative body . I t i s sincerely h oped that a r-egul a r system may be a dopte d at Colby doing away w ith the long prevail ing " c ut-throat" methods.

A C K N OWLE D G M E N T T o al! who h a v e i n a n y w a y assisted in t he c ompletion o f this volume of th� O RACLE, the E d itor is especially gratefu l . Particularly would he mention the prompt and willing work of his associates and the geni a l m an ner i n which t hey h ave done their work ; those who h ave so ki ndly c on tributed to the art work ; Professor E ust i s for his helpful guidance and m a n a O'ement ; J.

For the first time the ceremonies were held in the new indoor t raining fi.eld. B leachers were set up in one section of the l arge building and fraternity banners hung on the basebal l netting made a colorful scene for the gathering. President Johnson was master of ceremonies, a d uty which he performed to the satisfaction of all those present. Louis R . McBay was introduced and told of h is attempt to drive the "Maine Stein Song" out with his new piece, "The Colby Marching Song, " which has already proved tremendously popular with all friends of Colby. Mayor Harold Dubord of Watervi lle spoke, and u rged all thos·e present t o support the team on the following day. D r . L ibby P u lsifor, '21, a former captain of Oolby ' s football teams, wi shed the team every success. There foll owed speeches by H on . Herbert Wadsworth, chairman of the tru stees, Everett Perkins· a n d Coach Roundy who said he was putting a physically fi t team on the field, out to win. "Wallie" Donovan, captain of the team, was given an enthusiastic reception by those present. He spoke briefly, and to the p oint. A s a feature for the eveni ng, five acts were put on by several of the fratern ities . The prize for the best act was won by the Kappa Delta Rho group, who pres·ented "A back-campus group."

A Tribute to Professor Taylor o m a n i n A merica bas the record for continuous teaching i n o ne ubject a n d i n one college a has Professor J ulian Daniel Tayl-0r class of 1 6 teacher of the Latin Lan guage and Literature since t he year of his graduatio n . He taught his fi rst college class 62 years ago when but twenty-three year of age, and as there is I i ing today no t udent who was in college prior to 1870, it follows t hat every living graduate of olb) -now n u m bering 4,500-either sat under Profe sor Taylor instruction or came u n der bis i n fl uence a s a member of the College F a culty. Quite apart, therefore, from h i s record in length of teaching service, the more remarkable record is his o f having i mpres ed his per onality u po n every l i ving student who pa ed hi years i n Colby'� a ncient halls. It is doubtful i f any tribute-bearer c-0uld more fit tingly summa rize Professor T ay Io1"s life than has be himself. In response to the beautiful tribute paid him by the late Ch ief J ustice Cornish at the 1 928 C-0m mencement which marked hi completion of ixty years of class-room service, h e aid : " M r. James J. H ill aid that every m a n ' life that amou nts t-0 much ha u ually had one great ad enture. Thi college has been mine.

And at the la t, i f there i s nything left i n my a hes, and living spark, it will be m y love for m y college a nd foT my old college friend ." Profe or Taylor ha l ived the quiet l ife of the cholar among his books and among his friends. H e has never sought public office or position of public leadership, yet no m a n 's j udgment is more earne tly sought or more faithfully followed. H i s d i er ions ha e been to erve with gi·eat fidelit) on the directorate of the old Ticonic ational Bank, to i nterest himself in stocks a nd bonds, and for much of his l ife to till the acres of his farm i n his native Town of Winslow. W ith the excepti<>n of a s ummer spent abroad, he ha ac hieved no dist i nction as a globe-trotter, but few men can be found who are better informed about national ann world event .. He has never pursued graduate tudy i n the great u niver ities, b u t cholars seek h i m o ut among h i well-thumbed book because of the erudition and the culture that he shares. H e boa t n-0 deg rees except tho e con ferred u pon h i m by his own alma m ater, but few there are who will gainsay that be richly merits the h ighest that are bestowed. B e has never wT itten exten ively for p ubli cation, yet the pen with which be turns off his cla sic phTa es could quickly command the attention o f the reading public. H e h a s appeared but i nfrequently on the p ublic pl atform, yet tho e rare occa ion ha' e been memorable to tho e who beard him. H e h a s never ought popularity, but today h e i the mo t loved m a n among t h e great h o t of graduate of our College. A s undergTadu atc , ' e have come to h'DOW Pr-0fe sor Taylor a the m a n of gentle 3earcbing i n speech, riignified in bc;aring, keen of obser ati'>n, frank i n his j udgment h i s analysis, generous o f " mpulse, l iberal \Yith p u r e a n d progressive i n h i s thinking and acting.

It may be that h e di. cerning shall find in him the near-ideal they eek : A man of kmn-ledge, not of book alone btt of men and their affairs ; a teacher of rare worth, whose i ntere t3 extend beyond the book to the boy who hol d it ; a m a ter of b i s subject, and therefore i mpatient o f lip-shod methods and hyster schemes of the short-cut maker ; a n educator of repute, whose voyage wa carefully charted to avoid the disa sters that h av� oYertaker. so man� other s ; a rare gentleman, schooled in old fashioned c9urtesy and p atrioti sm ; a personality who e i n fluence u pon generations of college youth has made him i mmortal a mo n g men.

The Ne""" C olby _ Project I On th e first day of O ctober, 1 8 1 7, in the village of Bath, D istrict of . M a i ne, Comm onwealth of M assac h usetts, a grou p of men m et to decide a momentous q uestion .

They were the t r ustees of the newly chartered Maine

Literary and Theological Institution and on this day they had t o decide for all t i me, as they th ought, where this college should be l ocated. They met at the home of William King, one of the forem ost men of t he D istrict, who was destined to be chosen as Maine's fi rst governor.

O n e of

the group had even d r i ven up in his chaise from H averhill to be p resent at this time.

They were all godly men and the prosp·ect of a B aptist institu

tion i n this section of the c ountry was d ear to their h earts.

The q ue stion of

its l ocation was so fundamental and i mportant that it was to be settled only after dee p consideration and p rayer. The Massac h u setts Legislature had a uthorized them to e stablish the i n stitution i n any town with i n Kennebec or S omers·et Coun ty.

Three towns

i n particular h a d express·ed a desire to h ave the c ol lege and already a comm ittee had visited Farmington, Bloomfield ( now S kowh egan ) , and Waterville. The t r ustee8 of Bloomfield A cademy had offered to turn over their funds and the sch ool b u ilding if i t should be decided to locate there. O n the basis of this tempting p roposal, the committee reported i n favor

of B l oomfield.

The town of Waterville, h owever, was not to be outdone.

Ambitious

for a seat of learning and c u lture in their community, the citizens p roposed to raise $2,000 among themselves and voted $3,000 of the town's money to b e u sed i n establishing the college.

T h is generous offer won the day.

The

tru stees forthwith voted that the institution "be located i n Watervi lle on condition that the s u m s raised by the town and raise d by the inhab itants of Waterville . . . be realize d . " A beautiful site w a s selected f o r t h e college about half a m ile north o f t h e village, between t h e Ken nebec a n d the Bloomfield R oad. T he h eavily forested bank sloped gently down to the water's e dge, from which a view could b e h a d u p the river and over the charming c o untryside, where o nly

here and there a cleared field appeared on the wooded h illsides, or down stream, where a cov·ered bri dge and a few frame h ouses i n dicated the town. T h e c ollege property extended from the r i ver to the Messalonske e Stream_, so in adequacy, in solitude, and in natural beauty, this seemed to be an ideal location for an institution of learni ng.

T h e decades rolled o n . · T h e nation prospered. The D istrict o f Maine became a ful l-ft.edged state. The town of Waterville flourished and spread up to and beyond the campus. The little colleg·e struggled along, p assing through many dark h ours, but gra dually increasing in size and prestig.e. In times of stress, the authorities would sell off some more of the l and and �arry on. The railroad pushed upwards into Maine and through Waterville. At fi rst the tracks ran close to the river behind the col lege, later swinging up around the front of the campus. New England became the text ile center of t h e nation and Waterville's water p ower was harnessed to l ooms and spindles.

Someone disc overed that spruce wood could be made into pa per, so a great mill was bu ilt opposite the college wh er·e the Kennebec could float the raw material to its d oors . Because the geographical location of Water ville made i t a suitable railroad center, shops w2re built and the yards c rowded against the upper bou ndary of the campus. While ind ustrial civil ization had thus been inP.xorably c reeping around the little campus, the college had b een expanding within its confines . The area came to be occupied not only by the three brick build ings which com posed the college for most of its fi rst half century, but also by e i ght other structu res as well as the athletic field and stadium. But even this equ i pment was not enough for the six hundred stu dents and forty faculty members who made up the college. Mod ·ern educational standards wer·e r·eq u i ring m ore and more fac ilities. If Colby was to keep

pace, there m ust be a new l ibrary before many y.ears. Tlhere should he a chapel which would hold the whole student body at ·one time. More class rooms m u st be provided. Dormitory space was badly needed . Modern l ab oratories would soon b e necessary. A new gymnasium had been desired for years. An au ditori u m , a social u n ion, an administration b u i lding would all contribute greatly to the effe ctiveness of the training which Colby

afforded. Not, however, that the lack of these thi ngs had begun seriously to h u rt the coll ege. Colby was prospering as never hefore. More qual ified men and women were applying for admiss i on than could be accepted. The students were getting sound ed ucation. It was a successful and flourishing instituti on. Nevertheless, no one could l ook into the futu re, fifty, twenty five or even ten years and conc·eive of the college a s continu ing to hold a high position in the educati onal world without some substantial additions and improvements to the present plant.

This, then, was the situation as it a ppeared to the alumni and friends who had the i nter·ests of Colby upon their heart s .

For years, when gradu

The a l u mn i b o d y began t o feel a fresh enthusiasm .

On May 27,

1 9 29, the Po rtland Evening N e ws p u blished a lengthy ·ed itorial, i n which a fter reviewing Colby's h i st ory, her great contributions t o the state and her p resent needs, the editor went on t o a dvoc ate a c hange of location : P robably no cDllege in the c ountry is today m ore u nfortunately and disad v a ntageo u s l y situated than Colby.

I t is t o create �n Maine upon t h e fi n e traditions of a century o f service, a n e w institution fully up to date, perfectly equipped and in every way fitted for a second century of con tructive achievement in the highest task that c ivilization imposes upon ibelf.

This editorial c reated much comment, but mostly negative .

"Nice,

but visionary , " wa the general reaction. Nevertheless, the seed had been planted. All of this time the tru tees wer-e seriously thinking about this problem.

Person after person, not only alumni and thos€ immedi ately

connected w ith the college, but also some who were officially connected with other colleges, or who were keenly intersted in the development of collegi ate e d u�ation in New E ngland, sought out Presi dent Johnson and earnestly disc ussed with h i:!TI the opportu nity for enhanced usefulness and service

which a new location with more adeq uate equipment would make possible.

Gradually the proj.ect e m erged from the dream state to a clear-cut q ues tion : Is it, or is it not possible ? The fi rst step was to make a study of Colby's present situation and p robable future. In any such survey , it is advantageou s to hav·e the services of some outsider who will look at th ings from an obj.ectiv-e and i mpersonal viewpoint. gation were at hand.

In 1 929, the Maine Development Commission had :Jrganized a thorough-going u rvey of the educational facilities of the state. A number of sp2cial ists from other states an alysed each of the four colleges according to scientific meth ods. All aspects of the work of the colleges were stud ied , 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 equi pment of this college was su mmariz-ed as follows : The physical plant of Colby College is very meagre, i nadequate and poorly planned. If it is to continue to offer high qual ity collegiate work the limita tions which the s:te and present buildings put upon its program of service must be removed. It is d ifficult to make recommendations for Colby 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 i s 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 b uildings on a new site than on the present one. . . . The recommendation, then, is that 'C-0lby College should move to a larger and more desirable site.

There was another courc::. e of action which suggested itself. If the campus bou ndaries would not hold the needed new buildings, why not acq u i re all the land on e ither side of College A venue and build there ? One h u ndred ninety-two

One obj ection to s u c h a c o u rse was that this would make for an u n lov·ely c ollege , c u t in two b y a rail road and m ixed up w i t h the rest of t h e c ity. T h e n too, m o d e r n education was becoming concerned n ot o n l y with the intellect u a l a spect, but also with the atmosphere, the background and the devel opment of character that can come from a u n ified college l if e . For this, a certa i n amount of isolation from the c ity and its competing d i strac tions i s almost. e ssential.

T h e n ext step was to choose a Special Committee which should investi gate the legal, e ngineeri ng, .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 com posed of the following trustees : P resident J ohnson, Dr. George G. Averill of Waterville, Rev. Frank W . P adelford of Newton G enter, Mass., Carroll N . Perkins of Water ville, Charles F. T. Seaverns of H a rtford, Conn . , Herbert E. Wadsworth of Winthrop and Walter S. Wyman of A ugusta.

At this time, there were also made public two communications received by the B oard. The first wa · from Mr. W illiam H. Gannett of A ugusta, and sl ated in p art : I am pleased to make you a definite offer of that p art of my property known as Ganneston Park located on Western Avenue i n A ugusta . . . with the stipu lation that it be used for the expa nsion of Colby College and that a sum of at least three and a half mi llion dollars be raised for that purpose in a time not to exceed three years.

The other letter was signed by five people r epr·esenting the Citizens Committee for the Retention of Colby in Waterville.

After stating that :

"From the d ay when Jeremiah Chaplin was met at the Head of the Falls by Squi re Boutelle and his fellow c itizens, down through the long h un dred and ten years t o 1 930, Colby has been a blessing and inspiration to Water ville, " and other expressions of appreciation, the letter closed with the following p aragraph : 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 interest3 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 im mediately think of Colby.

Thus, the stage was set and t he lines clearly drawn for what m any people will always remember as the gr.eat battle between Waterville and A ugusta for the fair hand of Colby. The trustees had made the i r fi rst great decision : Colby was going to move to a new location ! B ut still unan swered were the q uestions : Where ? When ? How ?

T here were grounds for bel ieving that there were

legal obj.ections to moving the c ollege to another c ity, he said, and there were materialistic reasons why Waterville wished to retain this institution, but after all, t he issue i nvolved was that of sentiment.

The small liberal a rts college, he pointed out,

could p robably s urvive and so i t was the d uty of the trustees t o m ake sure that Colby would a lways be i n this class. T o m aintain this standing, this colle ge m u st move to a new location.

The succe s of th is proj·ect is essen

tial if we want the coll ege to b e here fifty years hence, and the project cannot succeed unless it has a united alumni body behind it. H ave confi dence in the trustees, he advised. With 27 out of the 3 1 members grad u ates o f Colby, the al umni can have utmost con fi d ence t h a t a n y action which they take will represent the best j u dgment of the graduate body and will be for the best interests of the college. The President then made a statem ent which was misunderstood and misinterpr.eted for months afterwards.

" I car·e r2latively little for the

City of Wate rvi lle," he said, "and less for Augusta : my chief interest and my great love is for Colby College . " There was a general ga p . T h e tho ught ran through t h e assembly : " H e doesn't like Waterville. He is going to move the college to A ugusta ! "

I t seemed clear that both men were preparing

the minds of the alumni and public for acc eptan ce of a decision to move to A ugusta.

This could mean one of hvo things :

either it really was all

.,ettled by "the insiders" to accept the A ugusta offer, or the President and trustee

honestly could not tell which cou rse would seem best upon further

study and so t ook this method of lessening the shock in case it were so decided. Which was the case ? It was five months before this qu estion was answered. The result of this occasion was to bring forcibly to the attention of the citizens the very real danger of losing Colby from their community. Waterville girded i tself for action and the Citizens Comm ittee of O ne H u ndred was born. From this number, an executive committee was chosen as follows : Mayor F .

A poem "Mov·e Colby ?"

was read and rece ived great applause.

Then Dr. J u lian 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 coveri ng an estimated area of about 300 acres, will be accepted by the Trustees as t he future location of the college, I will purchase the same from the present owner and offer it as a gift to the college to be its home hereafter and I hope foreve r . " There w a s a hush, soon broken b y a tremendous storm o f applause and cheers. A motion of gratitude and appreciation was carried with acclaim and the f.ervent singing of America ended the meeting. This site which Dr. Taylor offered to the college was one of three in the vicin ity of Waterville which were generally consid ered to contain the greatest possibilities. The 'Daylor S ite, as it was ther·eafter called, was situated at the p oint where the Messalonske·e enters the Kennebec. Be tween the stream and the river lies a long tongue of land on which are three l ittle hills.

At fi rst it was thought that the campus could be placed

on this peninsular, but fu rther study sh owed 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 r iver and had certain other advantageous f eatur·es. Another proposed site was kn own as the Mountain View Farm .

This

was located on the h ighest point on the road between Waterville and Fair field Center. The ground had a gentle sl ope towards the south and was su itable for construction p u rp oses. A magnificent view was obtainable over arid beyond the city for m any m iles. O n e h u ndred ninety-eight

I n order to demonstrate to the t ruste·e s that any one of t hese sites was capable of being developed i nto as fi n e a campus as the A ugusta site, the C itizens' Committee h ired a firm of architects to study them and draw up plans showing s u itable layouts of college b u i l d ings i n each location.

With

€veryone on edge and ,eager for some answer to the question which had heen vex ing them for so many months, the committee gave no clue as to thei r decision. When q u estioned point blank, the members would explain that they had agreed to keep their proceedi ngs absol utely secret until after the full board had received their report.

Others were confident that the Waterville members of this comm ittee would never surrender and t h at the rep ort would be in favor of Waterville. At any rate, this only served to intensify the suspense that pervaded the atmosphere in the city and, to some extent, the whole state of Maine.

Leaders from

all p a rts of the state would thus come into contact w ith the college a n d the students would h a ve the stimulating experience of bei ng c l o s e t o t h e a ff a i r s of state.

While i t was n ot t r ue that A ugusta c itizens h a d a d d e d

many m i llion s of dollars to the offe r of the s i t e , y e t i f the college should decide t o go there, i t would be reasonable t o expe c t that they would u se thei r resources in finding the money necessary to enable C olby to meet the cond itions of Mr. Gannett's offer. From thi s it will b e seen that there were ample grounds for Water ville's fear lest the trustees decide that Colby could not afford to turn down this op port u n ity .

O n the other hand, it was argued that the W atervi lle

s ites also h a d natural beauty and that, a nyhow, the a ttractive n ess of a c ollege depended less u pon the feat u res of the landscape than upon the layout of the campus a n d the architecture of the b u ildings.

A s for being

in the capital c ity, they pointed out that i t was possible for a college to be t oo close to politics for its own good .

F u rthermore, some felt that i t was

i m probable that A ugusta, strongly C ongregationalist a n d w ith most of its prominent citiz·e ns a l u m n i of other colleges, would ever give Colby the warm s upport that it had always enj oyed i n Waterville .

And as for funds,

t he defenders of Waterville said that while they d i d n ot p retend to be able to steer m illions to the c ollege, yet they knew of more than one will which had recently been changed t o provide that sums bequeathed to C olby should go elsewher·e i f the c ollege d i d not stay i n Waterville. I t all came down to a question of sentiment.

T o abandon the old

campus would b e a wrench to the senti ments of the grad u ates, but t o aban don also the environment, the college town, would be still more of a w rench. A s a n a l u m n u s p u t it : "When Commencement time came, I would as soon go t o D a rtmouth or any other c ol lege as to go to a place called C olby located i n A u gusta." Yet, after all, the ch ief function of a c ollege i s n ot t o give a few d ays of pleasure each spring to old gra d uates.

Its d uty is t o give the best

H ow

ever, a n atmosph e re o f p r i d e and reverence a n d l ove contributes t o this e d ucation p rocess. Is i t necessary to sacrifice sentiment ? Then, too, there was sentiment to be considered i n the relations be tween C olby a n d W aterville.

As the week atte ntion .

went by, the campaign progressed without m uch public

I n March, added impetus was given to the enth usiasm of the

citizens by a Chamber of Commerce Di nner which was well attended by over two hundre d people.

The feature of this occasion was the first public

d isplay of the p relim inary plans for the New Colby .

Mr. J e n s Fredrick

Larson of H anover, N . H . , offic ial advisory architect of the Assoc iation of A merican Colleges, was introduced and gave a talk describing his concep tion of the p ossibil ities of the developm ent of the new college in relation to the future development of the c ity.

A large d iagram of the proposed

campus illustrated his talk and oth er views and plans of the new buildings were h u ng on the walls.

The aud ience l istened wide-eyed and m any

realized for the first time that the New Colby proj ect was actually going to be carried thro ugh. Perhaps the most compelling argument used in the campaign was that gifts to this fund were similar to casting bread u pon the waters.

Not only

would the busi ness 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 und ertaking was sure to mean increased prosperity for the c ity in the future. Near the 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 am ounting to $73,253 had been received and the names of the 254 donors were printed in the l ocal paper. Three-quarters of the d istance towards the goa l had been reached, but the hardest pull was yet ahead. The committee organized teams for an i ntensive campaign that would touch every person in the c ity.

The next d ay twenty-four more

names were added and the total a m ount j u mped four thousand dollars.
