It is, of course, largely by the extent of the support accorded to a college by its own graduates that the world judges of the right of that college to seek cooperation of others in planning for the future. An institution that cannot rally to its financial assistance the men and women who have taken its degrees and whose diploma is their passport into the world is in a poor position to ask assistance from others. It is not merely what the alumni give; it is the fact that they do give that is of su­ preme importance.

T he recent move of our board of trustees in inviting the faculty to elect two ot its members to attend board and executive committee meetings points up the efforts of recent years to bring trustees and faculty together and to make each group more vividly aware of the aims and problems of the other. Annually at Commencement we have a dinner for members of the faculty, the board, and the alumni council. This spring, board members sat down for lunch, once with the heads of faculty departments and members of the visiting committees, and the next day with members of the academic co uncil. I can testify that the subject at board meetings which always arouses the greatest interest is the discus­ sion of faculty activities and achievements. Alumni will recall also that our recent statements of finan­ cial aims have stressed the urgent need of raising a two million dollar addition to our endowment, the income to be used for increases to faculty salaries. This is our first goal, the second being a million and a half for scholarships. Our building needs, pressing as they are, come third. The concern of the board with the faculty and its doings is of course not surprising. In a very real sense the members of the faculty are the college. If the faculty is composed of an able and ambi­ tious group, eager to have Colby excel, and proud of their place in it, nothing can stop the college from going forward. If they do their work in outstanding fashion there is no doubt that students will flock to us and we can have faith that the dollars will follow in due course. On the other hand, if the faculty should be ill prepared or overworked, or left without adequate tools in the way of books and labora­ tories, or at odds with themselves or half-hearted, or discontented, the college would soon pass out of eX!istence. Consequently the board makes the faculty's welfare its chief responsibility, bends its effort toward pro­ viding the right kind of stimulus to productive work, and is eager to become acquainted with faculty members and to know how they feel and what they think. The new arrangement should help sub­ stantially as the faculty members who meet with the board will naturally be asked to express faculty sen­ timent on all important issues. It should also help the faculty, in their turn, to understand the type of problems the board faces. One of the results that I look forward to most eagerly is an awareness on the faculty's part of the energy and diligence with which the board goes at its work and the extreme care it uses in the attempt to be fair to all who are affected by its judgments. The truth is that we have a remarkably fine facuLty and also a remarkably fine board and that the two will work together more and more creatively as they have a chance to know each other better. I am particularly glad that the board has seen fit to take this step because it is a progressive measure that only a few colleges have had the imagination to adopt. The decision offers added evidence to the world at large that Colby is in the hands of a policy making group that knows how to lead and is not afraid to pioneer.

T1-1E MAcOMBERs have taken over. Bill Macomber, '27, and his delightful wife, the former Marguerite Chase, '27, are the new co-directors of Roberts Union - an important post, for the building is the center of activities both for students and for visitors. Mr. Macomber's appointment as director of adult education and extension has resulted in his handling many assignments. The efficiency, thoroughness, and good taste that is a trademark with the Ma.combers has already taken root in the Union.

THE MARRIAGE of Miss Miriam Beede to· Dr. Albert Henry Imlah and the engagement of Miss Charlene F. Blance, '46, to Professor Wendell A. Ray are of interest to Colby folks. Mrs. Imlah was secretary to President Bixler from 1942 until her resignation last June. Her husband is professor of history at Tufts College and professor of diplomatic history at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. Miss Blance, science teacher at Sumner Memorial High School, East Sullivan, and Dr. Ray, associate professor of chemistry at Colby, have not set their wedding date.
