To laugh is to risk appearing a fool. To weep is to risk being cal
d sentimental.
To reach out to another is to fisk involvement. owing your true self.
To live is to ri To hope is to ri To try is to ri
But risks must be taken, because the greatest risk in life is to risk nothing. The people who risk nothing do nothing, have nothing, are nothing, and become nothing. They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they simply cannot learn to feel and change and grow and love and live. Chained by their servitude, they are slaves; the
e forfeited their freedom. Only people who risk are truly free.

Final Thoughts To the Class of 1999: I was so pleased when Lindsay Hayes and Scott
Whitlow asked me if I would write a short message
to the Class of 1999 for inclusion in your yearbook.
You have been a very special class-not the least because you are the last Colby class of the 20th century but also the largest senior class in the College's history with more than 500 graduates. You are also special because of your leadership in making Colby a better place. You have lived through the renovations of East and West Quads,
Dana, and Foss Woodman, the construction of An
thony-Mitchell-Schupf, and the design of the new Harold and Bibby Alfond Residence Complex. Many members of your class have led the planning efforts on these projects which now take us to the halfway point in the renovation of all of our residence halls and dining rooms. We have also had a particularly strong group of speakers brought to the campus-thanks to the leadership of your classmate, Walter Wang, who was elected an unprecedented three times as the Cultural Chair of the Student Government Association. You have wrestled with the problems of stricter enforcement of alcohol rules by the State of Maine, and you have also turned The Bluelight Pub into a truly wonderful senior-gathering place. And, you revived the Winter Carnival tradition which I too hope will continue in future years. Mrs. Cotter and I have gotten to know a very large number of you individually as you have taken my class,
Government 319, or served on various Trustee and College committees with us, or worked with her on internships, field experiences, exchange programs, or study in Africa. Some of you have been my advisees, and others have dropped into our offices or met with us in the house to talk about a wide range of important concerns. We have learned something from every one of those encounters. Each of you will always be a part of Colby-and I hope that Colby will always be a part of each of you. We will miss you. Please stay in touch. Good luck-and do not forget to carry a good book! Cordially,
(.id�-
William R. Cotter

T he Charles Bassett Senior Teaching Award Recipient Dear Christina, Wilson, Payal, John, Ingela, Crans, Martha, Jamie, Selby, et. al. By this time, you are undoubtedly tired of hearing that you have your whole life before you. As I remember my senior year, that vast expanse of possibility was precisely the problem. Graduation seemed a time of exponentially growing anxiety rather than the promise of infinite opportunity, the occasion for scat tered regrets about the things I could have learned rather than the celebration of those I did. If you are feeling acutely conscious of how little you actually know right now, then-believe it or not-your education has been a success. As George Bernard Shaw put it in Major Barbara, "You have learnt something. That always feels at first as if you had lost something." So I have two pieces of advice for you. When in doubt, learn something new, almost anything new. From now on the only force driving your education will be you, so remember that the mind as well as the body needs exercise. And learning something new-how to drive a stick shift, the history of western philosophy, the ins and outs of caring for your child-will keep you young as surely as any sport or exercise regime. I also pass along my father's best advice: do the best you can with what you have; then forget about it. Truthfully I found neither component easy to fulfill. I always wanted clarification. How can I possibly know if I have really done my best? How can I ever forget about my errors, those tasks that I did not quite do well enough? You have done your best if there is no more you could expect yourself to do; you will be able to forget it when you truly come to terms with what your best is. Both are worth the effort. Best wishes,
Laurie
