The Strider Years Draw to a Close Page 2

At the end of the faculty-trustee dinner on June 3, President Strider stepped to the microphone and made a brief but momentous announcement. Afterwards, members of the audience rushed for­ ward to wish the Striders well. Trustee Kenneth

Johnson ' 37, shown here with the President, was one of them.

Not only did Doris Kearns Goodwin '64 visit with Albert Mavrinac, one of her favorite Colby pro­ fessors, she spoke about him and others when she gave the commencement address May 28. The weekend was marked by fine oration and the kind of weather people dream of.

Alumni Weekend Page 12

A.A. "Gus" D'Amico '28, Ruth Williams '28, Ruth D'Amico and Connie Adair Cole '28 were among the hundreds who came back for one of the largest Alumni Weekend turnouts in recent years. The parties were delightful, the weather was terrible, and the Alumni Council Symposium offered con­ crete insights into the way the college works.

The House. In another year l will be 62. I am already startlingly senior in text of his statement follows. a profession now noted for short tenure. Colby is nearing the end of an interesting and fruitful chapter. A cycle in the building program is virtually completed, major objectives in fund-raising have been reached, the stability of the college in aca­ demic program, admissions, and financial condition is sound, the faculty is strong, the student body is alert, capable, and idealistic. But there is never an end to anything in a dynamic entity like a college,

and already we are embarking upon another round of long-range planning, looking to future physical needs and a major increase in the endowment. Once again the educational objectives of the institution are being reassessed. This is as it should be, but over the next few years I think the most important decisions should be made and the details of the planning evolved under the leadership of the person who will carry most of the responsibility in seeing the plans through. So next year is a good time for a change in the presidency. We are looking forward to being with all of you, our friends and colleagues, for another year. There will be no tapering off as far as we are concerned, for there is a momentum at Colby to be maintained without diminution as this transition is effected. I know it will be a good year and a lively one. And now, until tomorrow morning at the commencement exer­ cises, this session stands adjourned.

Pres­ ident Strider's announcement of his retirement took only minutes, but 0 the impact of his news settled like a constant mist on those present for the weekend. Nonetheless, Colby's M 157th commencement proceeded smoothly and 420 seniors, the larg­ est graduating class in the history of the college, received their diplomas M under sunny skies.

She said that exercising and strengthening one's voice is of prime importance in such a situation, so as to be able to project over the roar of the jackhammers. Dr. Hill, a noted 1 Waterville ophthalmologist and director of the Ophthalmology Seminar, held each summer, spoke 9 of his family's association with the college.

"We must deal with ourselves and the situations that we encounter openly and honestly, without relying on the defenses and facades that hinder any search for self-knowledge.. .. "If we faithfully follow this course of action, we will come to the reali­ zation that we, as members of a society, are interdependent. We need meaningful, productive rela­ tionships with others in order for our society and ourselves to pros­ per."

The highest non­ academic honor for a member of the graduating class, it is awarded an­ nually to a senior who has "exhib­ ited the finest qualities of citizen­ ship and made the most significant contribution to the development of college life."

The 1978 recipient was Christo­ pher Noonan of Mendon, Mass., who is returning in the fall as an ad­ ministrative intern in the office of the dean of students.

7 Honoris Causa For this Boston-born graduate of Colby the efforts of eighteen years have been distinctly uphill, and in a wheelchair, which is harder than waJkjng. Today on the eve of his fortieth birthday Elmer Bartels, Commissioner of Rehabilitation in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, is a prominent authority on rehabilitation in his state and region and on the national scene. As Commissioner he is on leave from Honeywell, where he had been depart­ ment manager and senior systems analyst . In his first position he had been a computer programmer and systems analyst at MIT. The intramural hockey accident at Colby in December, 1960, that made Mr. Bartels a quadraplegic necessitated nearly a year in hospitals in Boston and New York. With only a semester to go for his Colby degree, majoring in physics, he was slowed down but not stopped, and after his graduation in 1962 he went on to a master's degree at Tufts. Author of numerous articles both in his scientific field and in his second profession, service to the handicapped, he has been President of the Massachusetts Association of Paraplegics and the New England Spinal Cord Injury Foundation, and a member of numerous other boards, committees, and organizations, including several positions of leader­ ship in the National Paraplegia Foundation. As early as 1966 he was named one of the Boston Area's Ten Outstanding Young Men by the Junior Cham­ ber of Commerce. Colby salutes with pride a graduate who has surmounted formidable hazards to make a distinguished contribution to society.

ELMER CORNELIUS BARTELS Doctor of Laws

Long a patron and supporter of the arts and crafts in Maine, this Colby grad­ uate and resident of Bangor, with the collaboration of Mrs. D'Amico, is a distinguished collector of drawings, prints, and ceramics who on many occa­ sions has generously shared his collections with the public. A selection of etchings and lithographs in the A.A. D'Amico Print Collection given to Colby over the years is on exhibition at this Commencement season in the Colby Museum. Mr. D'Amico has been President of the Board of Trustees of the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts at Deer Isle, Chairman of the Advisory Committee of the Patrons of Fine Arts at the University of Maine at Orono, member of the Fine Arts Commission of the City of Bangor and of the Advisory Board of Maine Coast Artists. Mr. and Mrs. D'Amico in 1974 received the Award for Distinguished Art Patrons from the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, and he has served as a Colby trustee and since then as member of Board committees. As he and Mrs. D'Amico return to Colby for his fiftieth class reunion it is appropriate that the college pay special tribute to an amateur in the arts who, exercising discriminating taste and judgment, has transmuted an avocation into a virtual profession.

AUGUSTINE ANTHONY D'AMICO Doctor of Fine Arts

8 Fourteen years ago a magna cum laude graduate and Condon Medalist on the Colby Commencement platform , Doris Kearns Goodwin has used the inter­ val energetically and to considerable effect. Recipient of Woodrow Wilson and Fulbright Fellowships, she earned her doctorate in political science at Harvard and subsequently served eight years on the Harvard faculty. It was her appointment as White House Fellow in 1967 that, after a year of assign­ ments under the direction of Secretary Willard Wirtz of the Department of Labor, led to her close association with President Lyndon Johnson. The pub­ lication in 1976 of her biography, Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream, brought her national visibility as scholar and writer. At Harvard she taught a highly admired course on the United States Presidency, and she served for a time as assistant director of the Institute of Politics in the Kennedy School of Government. Mrs. Goodwin recently left the Harvard faculty, partly to look after her young children, but also to continue her scholarship as she works on her next book, a political biography of John F. Kennedy and the Kennedy family. She continues much in demand as a television commentator, and in a journalistictwist to her career she has been assigned this year to cover the season for the Red Sox, long-time baseball fan that she is. We welcome her home with the greatest pleasure as 1978 Commencement speaker.

DORIS KEARNS GOODWIN Doctor of Laws

A Welshman who grew up in London and as a child endured the blitz and the V-bombs, Mr. Hughes moved with his family to South Africa and began his newspaper career at the age of fifteen as a cub reporter in Durban. In less than a decade he had travelled to Boston and achieved his goal, a job with the Christian Science Monitor, the result, to use the canine terminology to which he is addicted, of dogged persistence. The Monitor has been his career: cor­ respondent in Africa for six years, beginning practically on his and Mrs. Hughes' honeymoon ; Nieman Fellow and assistant foreign editor; a long stint as Far Eastern correspondent that included some twenty trips to Viet­ nam and brilliant coverage of the unsuccessful Communist coup in Indonesia in the late Sixties that won for him the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting; and back to Boston in 1970 to become managing editor and soon thereafter editor. Under his leadership the Monitor has expanded its coverage to all sorts of areas that once were taboo, with virtually "nothing off limits" so long as a "genuine social purpose" can be perceived in its being covered. His recent acquisition of the weekly Cape Cod Oracle affords another avenue for the exercise of his talents, as well as a journalistic diversion for the entire family. Mr. Hughes is the current president of the American Society of News­ paper Editors, the highest honor in the profession, and Colby is fortunate in that this distinguished newspaperman is the present chairman of our own Lovejoy Award Selection Committee.

JOHN HUGHES Doctor of Laws

9 It might have been exp cted that a young man who graduated summa cum laude from New Y rk Univer ity at the age of nineteen would in time be heard from . Mr. Kahn has. Even before earning his doctorate at Yale at twenty-five he had been a teaching assistant at the University of Missouri and an economist for the Brookings Institution and the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Ju tice. A frequent consultant and adviser to governmental commis 10ns, Congressional committees, and private com­ panies, Mr. Kahn began his academic career at Ripon College and had his first appointment at Cornell University in 1947. There he served for twenty­ seven years as faculty member in economics, chairman of the department, and Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Author of several books, notably The Economics of Regulation, Mr. Kahn is also a prolific contributor to economic journals, the roster of his articles rivalling in length, though carcely resembling in content, the bibliography of Cotton Mather. But it is in hi recent public service that this scholar, teacher, and administrator has made hi most notable contribution to society. As Chairman of the New York State Public Service Commission for three years he brought new approaches to public utility regulation. In 1977 President Carter appointed him Chairman of the Civil Aeronautics Board, where his innovative ideas have proved a refreshing a his insistence that memoranda and correspon­ dence be written in plain English . Gabrielson Lecturer at Colby in 1975 , Mr. Kahn ret urns lo a coll ge community in which he is held in the highest regard.

ALFRED EDWARD KAH Doctor of Laws

This extraordinarily versatile writer is a native of Princeton, New Jersey, a resident of that community, and a graduate of that community's fine univer­ sity. His more than a dozen book and far more numerous articles and pro­ files, for the most part in the New Yorker, show that he is comfortably at home in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, the orange groves in Florida, the courts at Wimbledon, the worlds of experimental aircraft and basketball, or in the Hebrides or Alaska or Maine. The Survival of the Bark Canoe reveals a special affinity for the wilderness once chronicled by Thoreau, and a New Yorker piece two years ago entitled "The Keel of Lake Dickey" conveys an al­ most tactile sense of identity with Maine and its great expanse, from the St. John River and the Seven Islands Land Company to LL. Bean. Mr. McPhee has a remarkable facility for informing the reader while diverting him, and his astonishing array of facts constantly supports and embellishes but never threatens the narrative. The reader finds himself involved with the characters and identified by a keen sense of immediacy with the land they inhabit. His images and illustrations are sharply evocative, such as his analogy of the Alaska pipeline in his most recent book, Coming in to the Country, to a "thread laid across Staten Island." It is most fitting that Mr. McPhee should be honored by a college in a state that he has learned to know so well and in which the craft of writing is both encouraged and held in high esteem.

JOHN MCPHEE Doctor of Letters

10 A good many parts of the Colby body politic, one might say, have been rear­ ranged and put back in order by this distinguished surgeon . Graduate of Colby and the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, Dr. Reynolds served in the Army Medical Corps during the Second World War in the Euro­ pean Theater. Since 1947 he has been in private practice in Waterville, where his professional and civic activities have been many and varied. Chief of Sur­ gery at Thayer Hospital from 1958 until the organizational hospital merger, and at the newly-formed Mid-Maine Medical Center since 1975, Medical Director of the Thayer Hospital from 1963 to 1970, Dr. Reynolds has been President of the Kennebec County Medical Association and of the Waterville Area Chamber of Commerce. For years he has been consultant in surgery to the Colby Health Service, and he has served two terms on the Colby Board of Trustees. For his devotion to the college and his assistance in many capacities he was several years ago the recipient of a Colby Brick. There is special pride at Colby in the many summer institutes, most of them medical in character, that take place on Mayflower Hill. For eight years Dr. Reynolds has been co-director of the Seminar on Surgical Techniques and Problems, and he is a member of the Colby-Mid-Maine Medical Center Coordinating Council that advises the college on the scheduling and logistics of this varied summer fare. We welcome this Colby alumnus and Fellow of the American College of Surgeons to Mayflower Hill these forty-two years after his college graduation.

JOHN FRANKLIN REYNOLDS Doctor of Science

Last year for his fiftieth class reunion at Colby Dr. Washington flew west­ ward from his home in Scotland to join his classmates. None of them had followed a path remotely resembling his. The first black American to earn a medical degree at Edinburgh University, Dr. Washington has pursued his career in the British Isles, except for two intervals: a two-year assignment as admitting physician and casualty officer in Cumberland Hospital, Brooklyn, New York, the city in which he spent most of his childhood; and two years as physician and medical director of a government hospital in Liberia. After practice as an orthopaedic resident surgeon in Lancashire he spent five years in the Second World War as a captain in the British Royal Army Medical Corps, being awarded during the Battle of Britain both the Defense Medal and the War Medal. Following the war Dr. Washington served as a major in the United States Army Medical Corps assigned to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. By 1959 he had returned to England in the capacity of casualty surgeon at the Lancaster Royal Infirmary. His military and medical careers were rounded out with ten years as surgeon commander in the Royal Fleet Auxiliary. Colby honors a graduate who "took the road less travelled by," who has "made all the difference" to those for whose heaJth and welfare he has labored.

Class of '28 by Charles Tow11e, M.O

The SOth reunion of the Class of '28 was generally re­ garded as a huge success. Certainly a lot of classmates and spouses responded to the invitation of the college and enjoyed its hospitality, as well as the conviviality of ren wing old friendships. The college hosted two cock­ tail parties, an informal dinner, the reunion banquet, a boat trip at Boothbay Harbor and all breakfasts. At the reunion banquet Professor Lucille Zukowski '37 presented a masterful and enchanting view of Colby ca. 1928, and the changes and similarities that exist to­ day. Her speech was well-researched, presented with humor and extremely well-received. This was followed by a rollicking account of the problems of aging and of ret irement by our classmate, Roland Andrews, who provoked belly laughs on a Richter scale of 10 . The banquet attracted 80 members and guests. Rose Black came all the way from Arizona by bus. The opening social hour in Foss Hall dining hall was jammed from its start with returning alumni. One of the feature attractions was a collection of photos of old Colby and old Waterville,with exhibits of art work, pictures of families and grandchildren, and memory books on display in a room on the second SO-Plus Club floor of Dana Hall, under the direction of Dot Johnston. by Dean Emest C.

The alumni symposium and seminar presented an informative picture of what is happening and being planned at Colby from the viewpoints of adminis­ trators, faculty and students. Three great leaders-Johnson, Bixler, Strider-have made Colby a great liberal arts college. All of us in the Class of '33 are proud of our college.

Dinner at Martin's Manor (formerly the Jefferson, and now plushly redecorated) was good, and was pre­ ceded by a social hour at the lovely home of Louise '34 and Carleton Brown.

The room was fully stocked with refresh­ ments, but it was the stories, the camaraderie. the laughs that we most remember. Harry Paul, our West Virginia college drama professor, won all kinds of awards. He stayed up the latest both nights (4 a.m. ), came the longest distance, smoked the most cigars. The lobster bake on Saturday brought even more of us together. After our class picture, we went to Thelma and Del Matheson's home in pouring rain and had a marvelous cocktail party.

The Class of '53, despite a foggy boat trip in Boothbay, had a spirited 25th reunion. Ninety adults and 27 chil­ dren attended, with travel distances ranging from Los Angeles (Dick Hawes and his son) to three minutes from campus (Marcie Laverdiere O'Halloran). Marcie made the arrangements for the Saturday evening reunion din­ ner, which was a great success at The Club.

A heavy downpour failed to dim the spirits of 49 enthusiastic classmates and their spouses at the reunion dinner, held in the newly refurbished Roberts Union dining room.

23 As a response to South Africa's apartheid policy, and as a means of influ­ encing corporations doing business in that country, the board of trustees has voted to endorse the "Sullivan Principles." They were developed by the Reverend Leon Sullivan, a black civil rights leader in Phi ladelphia who is a director of General Motors . The principles have been adopted by a number of large corporations and institutions. His argument is that investors should not purchase securities in any industry or corporation in South Africa that does not subscribe to the prin­ ciples, and he states that support of firms that do adhere to these principles is an effective way of making inroads upon apartheid. The Sullivan Principles involve commitment by each subscribing cor­ poration to the principles and to their implementation. They are : 1. Non-segregation of the races in all eating, comfort and work facil- ities. Trustees 2. Equal and fair employment practices for all employees. 3. Equal pay for all employees doing equal or comparable work for the Move same period of time. 4. Initiation of and development of training programs that will prepare, Against in substantial numbers, blacks and other non-whites for supervisory, admin­ istrative, clerical and technical jobs. Apartheid 5. Increasing the number of black and other non-whites in management and supervisory positions. 6. Improving the quality of employees' lives outside the work environ­ ment in such areas as housing, transportation, schooling, recreation and health facilities. Firms that subscribe to the document have endorsed a statement that declares, "We believe that the implementation of the foregoing principles is consistent with respect for human dignity and will contribute greatly to the general economic welfare of all the people in the Republic of South Africa." The decision was adopted on the recommendation of the college's Investment Committee following an extensive study of Colby investments. Gordon Jones '40, of Needham, Mass., is the committee chairman. Stating that the college should be, and is, concerned with issues of social responsibility in connection with the investment of its endowment funds, the resolution requests President Strider to appoint a continuing Advisory Com­ mittee on Investment Responsibility, "to develop an effective ongoing policy in this regard." The college has no investments in any South African firms or in any multi-national corporation whose major activities are in South Africa. The portfolio of the college does have investments in industries which have affili­ ations in that nation. Emphasizing the college's abhorrence of race discrimination and the apartheid policies of the South African government, the board voted, pending further recommendations and action, that "the college will com­ municate with corporate managements to elicit information on policies and practices relating to racial discrimination in South Africa and to urge adoption of policies designed to eliminate such discrimination." The board further stated, "the college will support, and where appropriate initiate, stockholder recommendations to implement the Sullivan Principles or similar policies by companies having significant operations in South Africa." On the issue of divestiture, the board endorsed the procedure at such times as may be consistent with other investment policies. Such an action would apply to those companies "that fail to demonstrate adequate initiative in implementing policies and practices consistent with eliminating racial dis­ crimination in South Africa."

27 Women on Wo men

More than 400 participants wer on campus April 15 for the Maine Con­ ference on Women, sponsored by the Maine Civil Libertie Union and the Colby Women's Group. The program marked the fi rst full day of Women's Week '78, devoted to films, lectures, workshops and exhibits on topics of interest to women. Janet Mills, assistant attorney general of Maine, set the tone for the conference by citing prominent Maine women and the hurdles they had to overcome to achieve great­ ness in a "man's world." Workshops and seminars focused on blue collar employment, women in business, non-traditional living patterns, One of the events during Wo men's Week '78 was a three-mile cross-country homemakers' legal rights, family fo otrace w�1cl1_ attracted almost 100 women The winner was from Nashua, violence and feminist utopias.
