    5A Few Bold Institutions

    THE FIVE COLLEGE CONSORTIUM A few bold 5institutions In 1965, the Pioneer Valley’s four colleges, 1. Amherst College, 2. Mount Holyoke College, 3. Smith College, and the 4. University of Massachusetts Amherst, were experimenting with innovative ideas in higher education. One of those ideas was 5. Hampshire College, a radical student-centered model. The big idea, though, was sharing resources through an inter-college consortium. So what does that mean now? Your resources are multiplied by five. You can take classes, borrow books, play club sports, eat food, join clubs, and attend events at the other four campuses. You’ll make friends all across the Pioneer Valley. And for a college where students create their own programs of study, this is especially awesome. 3 WHO WE ARE The (really, really) 4,600+ big picture cross registrations for classes this year 30,000 undergraduate students Hampshire College Amherst College Mount Holyoke College foreign- 2,200+ Smith College 4 language faculty members UMass Amherst Five College majors: 70+ offerings Architectural Studies 5 Astronomy campuses Dance Film Studies 900+ student groups 9 million volumes within the Five College Library System 6 average number of 75+ courses Hampshire 17 intercollegiate students take in the certificate programs sports teams consortium over their four years 4 5 In addition to promoting each institution’s majors and programs, Five Colleges, Inc. sponsors learning centers, collaborative programs, additional certifications, and accelerated master’s programs.

We have had many occasions on which to try to express the appreciation of the College for Mr. Dodge's magnificent service. All those efforts are inadequate to express the indebtedness we feel for the clarity of his vision, the soundness of his judgment, the keenness of his insight, and the strength of his kindness and generosity.

We have space here only to summarize it. For most of its life, Williams understood itself as a “college on a hill.” Students withdrew here to contemplate higher things before heading back into the “real world.” The vocation of faculty was to pass on that knowledge, while staff supported the operation by managing the day-to-day. Over time, however, all of these lines blurred. The beginning may have come in the early 1960s, when students formed the Lehman Service Council to organize their projects in the local community. Two student-initiated programs, the Williamstown Youth Center and the Berkshire Food Project, still thrive. In the way that the student-formed Lyceum of Natural History, some of whose interactions with other cultures we now question, eventually led to the introduction of science into the curriculum, so too in time did the engagement seed germinated in the Lehman Council disperse widely through the college.
