But, in the prep aration of budgets for 1976-77, and again for 1977-78, it became clear that the three-year cycle was no longer feasible. The full impact of inflation had finally caught up. Rapid escalations in costs were too large to be met with tuition in creases every fourth year, and, in any event, the highly variable rate of inflation made a three-year pro jection for this purpose too uncertain. Our ability to maintain the cycle had been largely the result of ef fective cost control and rising stu dent enrollment. The Higher Educa tion Price Index (developed by D.

Charles Ferguson, associate professor of French, is used to looks of astonishment upon the faces of first-time visitors. They simply are not prepared for the 14-foot high pipe organ that incongruously fills the loft of his barn. He obtained the organ in 1966 from an East Hampton, Conn. church, which was disposing of it to make room for a new one. Ferguson had just begun the translation of an 18th century French treatise on organ building, his interest was piqued and he took delivery. Built in 1857 by E. & G.G. Hook of Boston, it has 448 pipes and is totally mechanical except for an electric blower added in 1900. It shakes the barn and sounds magnificent.
4 No, it's not the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, but it is a Lipiz zaner Miriam Bennett is riding, an 11-year-old gelding named Conver sano Liza and known affectionately as "Puddles" for his habit of dump ing water from his pail onto the stall floor. Professor Bennett, chairman of the biology department, bought Puddles a year ago. The horse, which has a 30-year life span, was bred in Czechoslovakia and given its early training in Holland. This photo was taken at the Ox Ridge Hunt Club in Darien, Conn., where Prof . Bennett rode Puddles to a fourth in class in dressage in his first show. An active rider as a youngster and in college, she had not been on a horse for 22 years when she began to ride again in 1972. "Its in my blood now," she says.
Eight years ago Thomas Easton's wife brought home a design for a small hand loom. Being fairly handy in the workshop, Easton, associate professor of biology, built the loom. They both were hooked. There are now three spinning wheels and four looms in the Easton household. Mrs. Easton tends to use exotic materials such as silk and alpaca, while Easton prefers commercial yarns, though he has used wool from sheep raised by the wife of Professor E. Parker Johnson. Easton's work is almost endless in variety. He makes table linens, place mats, small rugs, wall hang ings, dress material, shawls, jackets and even a stair runner, "27 and a half yards of the stuff."
5 Stan Palmer's desire for a well-trained hunting dog led him into the competitive world of field trials. Four years ago he sent his Labrador retriever for training as a gun dog. The trainer, impressed with the Lab's potential, asked permission to run him in a field trial. Palmer agreed, his own interest developed, and now he is an active member of the Maine Retriever Trial Club. The dogs are taught, through daily practice. to perform a variety of retrieves on land and water. Here Palmer works with one of his two Labs, Spring Pond Poppy, a pup he hopes will be a champion. Palmer is Colby's plant engineer.
After 10 years and "quite a few stings," Bruce Fowles can tell the mood of his bees by the sound of their fly ing. When the pollen count is high the bees contentedly go about their business. He avoids them otherwise, for they become surly. Fowles, an associate professor of biology, has propagated his own healthy strain of bees and keeps from 10 to 20 colonies a year. His reward comes in September, when each colony yields 100 pounds of honey. Those who have forgotten their ento mology will be interested to hear that the bees survive the winter by clustering in a ball within the hive, where they eat honey and generate temperatures of up to 90 F.
6 While on sabbatical leave in En gland Professor William Miller, art, became enamored of British pub and tavern signs. He soon returned home and began carving his own wooden signs, modeled after images in his mind's eye but based on famous tavernsigns in literature. He is at work here on one for the Admiral Benbow Inn from Treasure Island, while in front of him sits a completed product for the Mermaid Tavern that would have delighted Ben Jonson. Miller also carves eagles and spoons, and fashions door handles and hooks from the curves and crotches of tree branches. In addition, for more than 30 years he has been turningout tin cookie cutters in many shapes, in cluding pigs, turtles and a train set with locomotive, tender, cars and caboose.
Harold Pestana makes toy soldiers -from scratch. He designs a model from clay, makes a rubber mold from the model, then pours molten lead into the mold. After filing down the rough edges of the fin ished piece it is hand painted, cor rect to the smallest detail. Pestana, associate professor of geology, began collecting toy soldiers in 1960. He started making them years later, when he needed to create one particular soldier to fill in a gap in his collection. Pestana's specialties are British and Indian regiments ca. 1900, and he has fashioned more than 100 molds to tum out soldiers, horses and artillery pieces. An exhi bition of his toy soldiers in Miller Library during the summer proved so popular that it was extended for a month.

Donovan, professor of Old Testament at Andover-Newton; Frank B. Nichols, publisher of the Bath Times; Stephen Stark, head of the classics department at Mount Hermon School; and Herbert E. Wadsworth, linoleum manufacturer and chairman of the Colby trustees. Chester founded the Livermore Falls Trust Company in 1895, and at first had only one employee, Charlotte Ham, whom he married, and they became the parents of Reginald Sturtevant '21, and Ronald '24. Reginald's class, like his father's was one of Colby's finest. It gave to Josiah and his family at their home in Fayette, near Livermore Falls, about 1885. Colby two chairmen of the trustees, Neil Leonard and Reginald himself. Reginald followed his father as head of the Livermore Falls bank, served as president of the United Baptist Convention of Maine, and was a trustee of the Good Will Home Association. Affectionately called "Stibe," he was a gifted public speaker with an unusual command of English and a wealth of appro priate stories. Devoted to local and regional history, he was the author of A History of Livermore and of numerous articles. Two of Reginald's children earned Colby degrees: Joanne '56, married Neil Stinneford '57, one of Colby's baseball greats. Their daughter Krista is in the Class of 1979.

Marriner accepted the position. In the ensuing years five other men have been dean of faculty. All six are still associated with Colby. Marriner served concurrently as dean of faculty and professor of English until 1957, when he gave up the dean's post and became college historian. He retired from teaching in 1960. When Marriner left Robert Strider was appointed. He came to Colby from the English department of Connecticut College and was dean of faculty until 1960, when he was named Colby's 17th president. E.
