5 1 OVEMBER 1994 COL BY what sets the colle�e oportfrom its peers

It may be a fool's errand to try to define a college; imprecision is bound to result. One can look at the campus and speculate; analyze tatistics and draw conclusions; listen to students and generalize. What is the e ence of a college? It's this, it's that, it' the other thing. But at Colby, apparently, the definition is becoming, well, more definitive. To begin to construct the Colby identity, one can look at subjective reviews that attempt to make qualitative judgments based on academic rigor, alumni loyalty and other factors. U.S. News & World Report, who e "America's Best Colleges" issue-despite its controversial methodology-is perhaps the most widely quoted and sought after endorsement in higher education, listed Colby 23rd among the nation's liberal arts colleges in its recent ranking . Other college guidebooks also place Colby in the upper echelons of private liberal arts institution .

"I mean the cleaning lady made me a "quality of life" assessments such as thel995 edition of The quilt!" she said. Princeton Review's Student Access Guide to The Best 306 Colleges, Virginia Stettinius '95, of Richmond, Ya., says Colby's which surveyed 48,000 students at the most selective colleges in professors are "role models" as well as teachers. "We have more North America.
