Colby College is accredited by the New England Association of Schools & Colleges. Membership in the association indicates that the institution has been carefully evaluated and found to meet standards agreed upon by qualified educators. Colby College is a private, coeducational liberal arts college that admits students and makes personnel decisions on the basis of the individual's qualifications to contribute to Colby's educational objectives and institutional needs. The principle of not discriminating on the basis of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, religion, age, parental or marital status, national or ethnic origin, political beliefs, or disability unrelated to job or course of study requirements is consistent with the mission of a liberal arts college and the law. Colby is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer and operates in accordance with federal and state laws regarding nondiscrimination. The College reserves the right in its sole judgment to make changes of any nature in its program, calendar, academic schedule, fe es, deposits, or any other matters in this catalogue. 1 General Information Colby's Mission and Goals 5 About Colby 6 Libraries 8 Information Technology Services 9 Special Programs 10 Career Services 11 Admission 12 Orientation 15 Student Fees 16 Financial Aid 19 General Regulations 20 5 Colby's Mission and Goals Colby is committed to the belief that the best preparation for life, and especially for the professions that require specialized study, is a broad acquaintance with human knowledge. The Colby experience is designed to enable each student to find and fulfill his or her own unique potential. It is hoped that students will become critical and imaginative thinkers who are: welcoming of diversity and compassionate toward others; capable of distinguishing fact from opinion; intellectually curious and aesthetically aware; adept at synthesis as well as analysis; broadly educated with depth in some areas; proficient in writing and speaking; fa miliar with one or more scientific discipline ; knowledgeable about American and other cultures; able to create and enj oy opportunities for life long learning; willing to assume leadership roles as students and citizens; prepared to respond flexibly to the changing demands of the world of work; useful to society and happy with themselves. Colby stands for diversity, without which we become parochial; for respect for various lifestyles and beliefs , without which we become mean�spirited; and for the protection of every individual against di crimination. In the classroom and outside, there is fr eedom to study, to think, to speak, and to learn in an environment that insists upon the free and open exchange of ideas and views The Colby Plan is a series of 10 educational precepts that reflect the principal elements of a liberal education and erve as a guide for making reflective course choices, for measuring educational growth, and for planning for education beyond college. Students are urged to pursue these objectives not only in their cour e work but also through educational and cultural events, campus organizations and activities, and service to others. These precepts, which the College believes are at the heart of a liberal arts education, are: • to develop one's capability for critical thinking, to learn to articulate ideas both orally and in writing, to develop a capacity for independent work, and to exerci e the imagination through direct, disciplined involvement in the creative process; • to become knowledgeable about American culture and the current and historical interrelationships among peoples and nations; • to become acquainted with other cultures by learning a foreign language and by living and studying in another country or by closely examining a culture other than one's own; • to learn how people different from oneself have contributed to the richness and diversity of society, how prejudice limits such personal and cultural enrichment, and how each individual can confront intolerance; • to understand and reflect searchingly upon one's own values and the values of others; • to become familiar with the art and literature of a wide range of cultures and historical periods; • to explore in some detail one or more scientific disciplines, including experimental methods, and to examine the interconnections between developments in science and technology and the quality of human life ; • to study the ways in which natural and social phenomena can be portrayed in quantitative terms and to understand the effects and limits of the use of quantitative data in forming policies and making decisions; • to study one discipline in depth, to gain an understanding of that discipline's methodologies and modes of thought, areas of application, and relationship to other areas of knowledge; • to explore the relationships between academic work and one's responsibility to contribute to the world beyond the campus. 6 About Colby Chartered by the General Court of Massachusetts in 1813, seven years before Maine became a state, Colby is the 12th-oldest independent liberal arts college in the nation. In 1871 it became the first previously all-male college in New England to admit women. Before World War II, trustees voted to move the College from its crowded original site in downtown Waterville to the handsome MayflowerHill campus of more than 700 acres, where 58 buildings have been constructed since 1937. Today, Colby's 1,750 students--evenly divided between men and women-come from virtually every state and more than three dozen foreign countries. Alumni, numbering more than 21,000, are represented in all 50 states and almost 70 foreign countries. Students may choose from some 500 courses in 40 major fields and have wide flexibility in designing independent study programs, electing special majors, and participating in internshipsand exchange programs. More than two thirds of all Colby students will study abroad at some time during their undergraduate experience. Historically, Colby has valued understanding of and concern for other , diversity of thought and culture, open access to campus groups and organizations, and personal and academic honesty. In order to embrace and support these values, members of the College community bear a special responsibility, in all of their words and actions, to honor and protect the rights and feelings of others. The Commons Plan was designed to reinfo rce and amplify the e values. The Commons Plan, which fo llowed the 1984 decision to withdraw recognition from Colby's several fraternities, offers a number of advantages to students. There are three distinct small communities or "commons," each with its own dining facilities and governing units. Housing of all kinds throughout the campus is available on an equal basis to all students, and students play a greater role in the control and governanceof the public spaces within the Commons, including the dining halls. Out-of-classfac ulty-student interaction is enhanced, and opportunities for the development and expression of individual student leadership come from involvementwit h the governing bodies and from organizing intellectual and social activities within the Commons. Students may reside within the same residence hall and Commons for more than one year, so that friendships can more easily be formed and sustained throughout the college years and afterward. The Cotter Union serves as a focus for the Commons Plan and as a forum for campus­ wide social and cultural activities. Lovejoy Commons is named for Elijah Parish Lovejoy, a graduate of the Class of 1826, who became America's first martyr for the free press when he was killed by a pro-slavery mob in Alton, Illinois, in 1837. Lovejoy Commons includes Anthony-Mitchell-Schupf residence halls, Averill Hall, and the residence halls of the Hillside Complex and The Heights. Johnson-Chaplin Commons is named for Franklin Winslow Johnson and for Jeremiah Chaplin.

  • Notes from the Underground: a Cultural, Political, and Aesthetic Mapping of Underground Music
    Notes From The Underground: A Cultural, Political, and Aesthetic Mapping of Underground Music. Stephen Graham Goldsmiths College, University of London PhD 1 I declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Signed: …………………………………………………. Date:…………………………………………………….. 2 Abstract The term ‗underground music‘, in my account, connects various forms of music-making that exist largely outside ‗mainstream‘ cultural discourse, such as Drone Metal, Free Improvisation, Power Electronics, and DIY Noise, amongst others. Its connotations of concealment and obscurity indicate what I argue to be the music‘s central tenets of cultural reclusion, political independence, and aesthetic experiment. In response to a lack of scholarly discussion of this music, my thesis provides a cultural, political, and aesthetic mapping of the underground, whose existence as a coherent entity is being both argued for and ‗mapped‘ here. Outlining the historical context, but focusing on the underground in the digital age, I use a wide range of interdisciplinary research methodologies , including primary interviews, musical analysis, and a critical engagement with various pertinent theoretical sources. In my account, the underground emerges as a marginal, ‗antermediated‘ cultural ‗scene‘ based both on the web and in large urban centres, the latter of whose concentration of resources facilitates the growth of various localised underground scenes. I explore the radical anti-capitalist politics of many underground figures, whilst also examining their financial ties to big business and the state(s). This contradiction is critically explored, with three conclusions being drawn. First, the underground is shown in Part II to be so marginal as to escape, in effect, post- Fordist capitalist subsumption.

  • December 2020 Newsletter
    December 2020 Newsletter Musical Heritage Center, aka… The Fiddle & Pick Hello Everyone, I hope this letter finds you well. I find it doesn’t take much to know that I have so much to be thankful for. Even in trying times, we learn so much and grow in faith. We had a very different November then ever for multiple reasons; one of which was our beloved annual Irish Music Weekend was not able to be as it has been our tradition and our biggest MHC event for the past 12 years. Despite obstacles, we were most fortunate to have two virtual workshops hosted by Rose Conway-Flanagan on Irish fiddle and Andy Kruspe on the Bodhran (Irish drum). I thank them so much for their time and talent and expertise! Both Andy & Rose have been instructors multiple years (Rose has been here for all the years) and it is such a blessing to have their hosted workshops as a “marker” for our 12th annual IMW! God willing, I cannot wait to have them back again along with so many other great instructors on all the Irish instruments at our 13th annual Irish Music Weekend Nov 11-13, 2021! ~ Reflections on November: First weekend of November Tim & Gretchen went to the Bluegrass Hall of Fame Museum in Owensboro Kentucky. I was very impressed by the Riverfront Park and the New Hall of Fame museum! I thought about how fun it would be to have a Fiddle & Pick group field trip there someday! Like all events these days, there were adjustments. Tim was slated to play a concert with Rodney Dillard.

  • Real Rock: Authenticity and Popular Music in Canada, 1984-1994
    REAL ROCK: AUTHENTICITY AND POPULAR MUSIC IN CANADA, 1984-1994 PAUL DAVID AIKENHEAD A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN HISTORY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO SEPTEMBER 2018 © PAUL DAVID AIKENHEAD, 2018 Abstract This dissertation investigates the production and reception of English-Canadian rock music sound recordings, from 1984 to 1994, in relation to mutually constitutive understandings of race, ability, gender, sexuality, class, age, and place. It examines how different forms of domestic Anglo rock served to reinforce or subvert the dominant ideologies undergirding the social order in Canada during the late twentieth century. This study analyzes a multifaceted discourse about authenticity that illustrates the ways in which a host of people – including musicians, music journalists, record label representatives and other professionals from across the music industries, government administrators, and consumers – categorized recorded sound, defined bodily norms, negotiated commerce and technology, and evaluated collective communication in Canada. This study finds that the principle of originality fundamentally structured the categorization of sound recordings in Canada. Originality, according to rock culture, encompassed the balancing of traditionalism with innovation. This dissertation determines that Whiteness organized English-Canadian rock culture in terms of its corporeal standards. White bodies functioned as the norm against which racialized Others were compared and measured. This study also shows how the concept of autonomy encouraged the proper negotiation of commerce and technology in an increasingly neoliberal political and economic condition. Independence of will fostered acceptable behaviour. Finally, this dissertation reveals that the rock status of a given concert rested upon the actions of the performers as well as the composition and reactions of ticket holders in the audience.
