Unquestionably, the fra ts offer the fastest simplistically deemed non-fraternity people as social Colby, but rather a message in opposition to the paced life on campus, with their ever-present social outcasts. I certainly do hot feel personally deprived shortsighted, simplistic views of those who wish to gatherings and parties.

A new schedule was created, with morning much of the strength it had lost in the national recession to raise funds. Little headway was made, and it was 1905 classes meeting six days each week at 8, 9:30, 10:30, and several years before. before a building replaced the Ladies House, which was a private home bought by Colby in 1885. One of Small's first official acts was to preside over the dedication .of the Shannon Physical Laboritory and Observatory. Begun in 1889, the building was funded with $15,000 donated by Colonel Richard Cutts Shannon. Another $3,000 was appropriated from schoolfunds for the remaining costs. In 1890, costs also rose from $12 ta$18 for each occupant of each room per semester. Total charges rose to roughly $237.75 per year, including $83.25 for meals, $60 for tuition, and $15 for books. Before he left, Small also helped in- crease enrollment from 153 in 1889 to 184 in 1892. Much to the surprise of alumni, many of whom had backed the creation of two colleges as a device to keep women from over-populating the school, the women's division grew from 25 to 47. The men's numbers, however, actually dropped from 140 to 137. In the same period, Small also increased the college's faculty from 12 to 15. While helping enlarge Colby's student population, Small also helped make its government more powerful. Several cases of discipline were sent before the Conference Board, leading to settlements which also helped improve faculty- student relations. Small resigned from his post in 1892, just three years after accepting it. Part of the reason for the quick departure was an offer from the University of Chicago requesting Small's aid in developing their sociology department. It was an offer he could not refuse. In his place, the board voted in Beniah Whitman. Whitman's three year reign was relatively calm and comfortable with both enrollment and funds increasing. While in Small's last year, the school had taken in a record $35,324, it had also spent a record $40,307, leaving a deficit of $4,983. Another deficit, however, was not seen until after Whitman's resignation, and, when he left, there was a surplus of $2,700. In 1890, costs rose to roug hl y $237.75 per year , includin g $83.25 for meals , $60 for tui tion and $15 for bo oks . In 1892, Colby's Football team began to play. Until that year, games had been largely between classes, and were marked more by enthusiasm and ignorance of rules than by skill. On Nov. 7, however, the college team played the Cony High School from Augusta, and was beaten 10-0, On Oct. 15, Bowdoin beat the team 56-0. Its next game, however, was the college's first victory, as Colby beat Maine, 12-0. The last game of the season , against Bowdoin, resulted in another loss with a score of 22r9. In the spring of 1895, Whitman was offered the presidency at Columbian College in Washington. He accepted the position, The board voted on Sept, 30, to replace him with Nathaniel Butler, Jr. The trustees set Butler to raising money for a new science building, a women's dormitory, and general funds. The campaign went poorly, however, and in 1897
