Commencement RUTH AND HUMOR, RELEVANCE Tand redefinition, and expres­ sion of the hope that the college had encouraged "healthful chang­ es" in its graduates formed the phil­ osophical backdrop for a com­ mencement weekend bathed in the lighthearted brightness of a Maine spring. President Robert E. L. Strider conferred B.A. degrees upon the 309 members of the Class of 1973 who embarked upon their futures sternly warned by a respected jurist that "truth in high places is a com­ modity that no longer exists." The Honorable Philip C. Jessup, retired judge on the International Court of Law and former Hamil­ ton Fish Professor of International Law and Diplomacy at Columbia (his address is reprinted in its en­ tirety beginning on page 9), shared the rostrum with class speaker Bruce Cummings (Nashua, N.H.). "If these are anxious times," Cummings said, "and if you and I are entering into what some call anxious years, jt is because we have forgotten how to feel and act as a coherent, integrated being. It is the humorous man or woman who is whole - for humor and laughter are inextricably bound in both reason and passions." Charles Hogan (Metuchen, N.J.), former president of the class and former president of student government, was presented the Condon Medal. A member of nu­ merous college committees and president of Blue Key honor so­ ciety, Hogan is a former student representative to the board of trus­ tees. Class marshal Richard L. Gaw­ throp (Westford, Mass.) was one of seven summa cum laude graduates. The class, which included 39 mem­ bers of Phi Beta Kappa, had i8 magna cum laude graduates, 43 cum laude and 82 students who

2 achieved distinction in their ma­ jors. President Strider had formally opened the weekend with his tra­ ditional baccalaureate address in Lorimer Chapel and later had been the speaker for the AFROTC com­ missioning. Reflecting in the baccalaureate upon the travels which he and Mrs. Strider had recently completed un­ der a grant from the Danforth Foundation, the president com­ mented: "Travel is salutary be­ cause it encourages a freshness of perception. The kind of intellec­ tual travel one undertakes in a col­ lege experience should accomplish a similar objective. Programs of 'liberal learning' such as colleges of our sort try to provide should encourage healthful change in a person, development of his intellect until he can be accurately des­ cribed as 'man thinking', and should deter him from adopting a course of selfish, ego-centered ma­ terialism." This Colby "experience" had supplied the inspiration for a pair Class speaker Bruce Cummings of provocative talks during the commencement eve faculty-trustee dinner.

3 "Must the program be four years or three? Must it be continuous, or should it be interrupted? Should it be structured, or directed, or in­ dependent? Should it be on-cam­ pus or off? Should it involve par­ ticipatory or 'experiential' pro­ grams? Are there ways in which we may become effectively a com­ munity of scholars without at the same time becoming monastic? "In our search for answers there are some things we must remem­ ber. 'Relevance' is not all it some­ times seems. Though there i� un­ deniable excitement in involve­ ment in problems of society, what is relevant today is likely to be the dead issue of tomorrow. There is also a tendency to view the students as consumers who must be satisfied with a product we offer. This is wrong. The consumer, if there is one, is society, which holds that we perform a valuable service through the development and perpetuation of ideas." Trustee Wilson Piper, '39, drew upon his law school training to make a case for "increased rele­ vance" of the liberal arts curricu- 1 um. "To meet the demands of our current human situation in a very real and appropriate sense, we must make liberal arts education more 'relevant' to our crises. If we :ire to control our future, both older and younger generations must enhance their understanding and appreciation of the 'related­ ness' of the past to the present and to what is to be. If old interpreta­ tions are not correct, greater per­ ception and knowledge are re­ quired to determine relevance. "I am convinced that indepen­ dent study is one of the keys to meeting the need for increased rel­ evance ... I think of some analo­ gies for how to develop such (inde­ pendent) programs and their sup­ port in the kind of experience in­ volved in moot court cases we ar-

4 gued in law school. Many of the cases we argued were used year after year. The value of these pro­ grams was also increased by the fact that they were organized so as to require a team effort. Finally, there was a critique of the end product which provided a means for the participant to assess the effectiveness of his own perform­ ance. "A major challenge to liberal arts education today and to Colby in particular, is to develop guided programs of independent study which tend to develop the qualities of imagination which enable one to apply what he has learned to prob­ lem-solving situations. I hope and expect Colby to find methods to Trustee Wilson Piper Professor Alice Compare/ti meet this challenge more effecti vel y in the future." The dinner also included recog­ nition of three retiring members of the faculty: Alice P. Comparetti, professor of English; Ralph S. Wil­ liams, Wadsworth Professor of Ad­ ministrative Science and adminis­ trative vice president; Allan C. Scott, Charles A. Dana Professor of Biology and chairman of the de­ partment; and of Kenneth P. Blake, Jr., librarian, who has resigned. In the midst of its serious discus­ sions and lighter moments, its qui­ etly proud parents and jubilant graduates, its attention to tradition and relevance to today's world, this 152nd commencement had no less a charm than did the very first ex­ ercises in 1822. Writing in The History of Colby College, Dean Ernest C. Marriner, '13, recounted that for that long­ ago ceremony "People came in car­ riages, on horseback, and on foot from miles around.

Fifty Plus Club met for its annual din­ ner at Foss Hall on the evening of June 9 with 86 persons present, of whom 63 were members of the club, comprised of all whose Colby class was more than fifty years ago. Dr. Asa Adams, 1922, presided. Feature of the evening was the intro­ duction of Ina Taylor Stinneford, 1898. Not since Franklin Johnson founded the club in 1946 had any member of a 75 year class attended the annual dinner until this year's appearance of Mrs. Stin­ neford at the age of 95. The second oldest member present was Dr. Ralph Reynolds, 1906, who in college had played on Jack Coombs' renowned base­ ball team. There was at least one rep­ resentative of every class from 1911 to 1922. The Class of 1913, sixty years out of college, had eight members pres­ ent. The largest group was from 1917, with ten. Diana Wall Fogler, 1913, spoke on Colby Sixty Years Ago. Faculty guest speaker was Ralph "Roney" Williams, 1935, who answered many questions posed by his appreciative audience. Ashton Richardson, 1921, carried the club's greetings to the fifty year class of 1923, who now become members of Fifty Plus. Return greetings were made by Myrtice Swain Andrews, 1923. The club voted to donate $300 to the current alumni fund. Officers elected were president, Leonard Mayo, 1922; vice-president, Myrtice Swain Andrews, 1923; sec.-treas., Ernest Marriner, 1913; member of Alumni Council, Hugh Smith, 1920. * Sympathy is extended to Ninetta Run­ nals, 1908, on the death of her sister, Mrs. Katherine Danforth.
