Colby is a college of liberal arts in the sense that it tries to provide an education worthy of the man or woman who is free from the narrowing effects of provincialism and prejudice. It is dedicated without reserva­ tion to the aims of unrestricted inquiry and to the task of seeking the truth wherever it may be found. Realizing, how­ ever, that academic freedom from partisanship has too often served as an excuse for evading the responsibilities of action, those who administer the college have made a definite effort to provide the proper balance between the detachment of library and laboratory on the one hand, and on the other the decisive commitment that personal and social issues alike require. The liberal arts college must reach out after truth for its own sake, since to seek it for any other purpose is to miss it. At the same time, the truth as men experience it is never com­ pletely detached, but appears always in a context where ends that are "practical" and "useful" play an important part. Colby College attempts to recognize this double aspect of the academic life by graduating students who, in Professor White­ head's phrase, both know something well and can do some­ thing well. Into the curriculum itself the faculty has not hesitated to introduce certain subjects commonly labelled "vocational." Students at Colby may prepare for careers such as business, medicine, law, theology, government service, teaching, nurs­ ing, medical technology and social welfare. These courses have been adopted in the belief that the distinction between "liberal" and "vocational" actually has less to do with subject matter than with methods of instruction. A course is "liberal" when the teaching is such as to free the mind from prejudice, to point out the relation of the material in hand to the larger background of learning, and to stimulate further inquiry. Instruction at Colby is organized in five principal divisions: Languages, Literature and the Fine Arts, concerned primarily GENERAL INFORMATION 9 with acquainting the student with skills in expression and in the appreciative disciplines; Social Studies, in which the teaching is devoted to consideration of the problems of social environment and of man and his values; Sciences, the mis­ sion of which is to familiarize the students not only with the scientific method, but with scientific progress as a great inter­ national enterprise; Health and Physical Education, a division devoted to nurturing and conserving physical vitality as a guaranty of eager, interested learning; Nursing and Medical Technology, directed to developing in its students a mastery of vocational skills combined with a cultural background and humanitarian viewpoint. LECTURES One outstanding type of educational opportunity outside the classrooms is found in the visits of notable scholars, lecturers and artists to Colby each year. The Averill Lecture Series is unique in that it brings to the campus men of re... nowned scholarship not merely for a lecture, but for a visit of two or more days during which the students

  • Chaos and Creativity: Liberal Education for the 21St Century David Oxtoby, Pomona College Colby College Bicentennial, April 8, 2013
    Chaos and Creativity: Liberal Education for the 21st Century David Oxtoby, Pomona College Colby College Bicentennial, April 8, 2013 I am a chemist as well as a college president, and in thinking about the goals of higher education I often return to two general methods that intertwine through the study of chemistry: analysis and synthesis. In analysis, chemists may take a complex mixture and break it down into separate substances through chromatography, or take a single substance and use spectroscopy to find its atomic structure. In synthesis, chemists work in the opposite direction, taking a series of simple materials (ideally, off the shelf) and combine them to make a more complex compound with particular chemical properties. Chemists go back and forth between these two approaches in their everyday work. For example, a chemist might take a natural product with certain desirable medicinal properties, purify it, and analyze it to determine its structure; then she might develop a synthesis to prepare the product from commonly available starting materials. I begin an essay on the future of liberal education with the concepts of analysis and synthesis because I believe the processes inherent in each—breaking down and putting together— characterize many of the activities central to our college curricula. Let me explain. A great deal of learning involves analysis, taking something complex and breaking it into simpler pieces that we already understand, or that we can focus on sequentially. In an English class we may do a close reading of a poem, looking at it line by line to see the use of language, meter, or metaphor.
