THE STRIDER YEARS An Extension of The History of Colby College ERNEST CUMMINGS MARRINER THE STRIDER YEAR S Colby historian Ernest Cummings Mar­ riner has painted " The Strider Years" in full color, resplendent with the many hues of academic leadership that shone through Robert E. Lee Strider's nineteen years as president of Colby College. It is an historic tour de force of which only Ernest Marriner is capable, for he is the embodiment of the scholarship and perspective necessary to capture the moods and motions of this exciting pe­ riod in Colby's history. Although these pages are a book unto itself, they are a sequel to his 1963 monu­ mental record of Colby's birth and fre­ quent re-bornings. It is a brilliant exten­ sion of his previous work, even as Presi­ dent Strider's tenure was an extension of the inspired years of leadership that had gone before.
