I enjoyed the article in Colby-it brought back many memories. I remember sitting in the ATO House library reading the Wa terville Sentinel one morning when you came through the door. Since you were not in the habit of social calls at 10:00 a.m., your arrival got my undivid­ ed attention. You had an empty beer can in your hand, which you had picked up on the ATO House lawn. You asked me to tell Chick Marchetti, house president, that you didn't appreciate seeing these cans on our lawn, since Colby was a dry campus! I did deliver the message to Chick.

An avid reader, the teenage Potok one day read Brideshead Revisited, Evelyn Waugh's novel about an upper-class, British, Catholic family whose faith is disintegrating. "I'll never forget the effect that book had on me;' he said. ''I'd never had an ex­

When he writes about confrontations, Potok hopes that others will be caught up in the small and particular world he creates on paper, that they willbe thrown off balance and altered by the ex­ perience. The audience responded enthusiasti­ cally to Potok's presentation. Lisa Miller '92 said, "I totally agreed with what he said, in that literature is a good way to encounter other cultures and different time frames.

COLBY 5 for their support as we added new faculty members to address expanding curricular concerns; and I am pleased with the increasing diversity of the faculty. In the last decade we hired 83 new tenure-track faculty, about half of whom were women, and of the six faculty members tenured last year, two were African-Americans and two were women. The student body, similarly, has become somewhat more diverse- both geographically and in terms of minor­ ities - and remains just as energetic, curious, and hard­ working as its predecessors. Some say that the intellectual atmosphere on campus has grown stronger during the last decade, and I hope they are right. We will continue, of course, to support the growth of every aspect of a stu­ dent's personality and talents, but our emphasis on in­ tellectual growth must be pre-eminent. In the last 10 years the Reagan Administration has come and gone and, internationally, we have seen the near revolutionary changes in the Soviet Union and in Eastern Europe and a tentative opening of the door to China-which, however, may now have been closed once more. The United States changed from the largest creditor nation in the world to the largest debtor, and our dependence on international trade quadrupled from 3 percent of the GNP to 12 percent. The Common Mar­ ket has agreed to unite by 1992, and Japan has emerged Associate Professor of English Phyllis Mannocchi speaks on Christian as a premier world economic power and the largest aid mysticism in her course, Literature of the Middle Ages, in the Smith donor. Those international changes will have a profound Room of Runnals Union. impact on our students. In higher education, the much discussed "demograph­ ic decline" challenged but did not ultimately affect the selective institutions. The total number of students in postsecondary institutions remained constant, although the proportion of adult learners has increased. Tuition costs far outpaced inflation, a pattern that cannot and must not be continued in the 1990s if the selective pri­ vate colleges are to remain affordable for middle-income families.

Faculty and Curriculum

Colby's curriculum was modified only slightly during the 1980s and retains the basic features long familiar to all alumni: English composition; foreign language; a rigor­ ous major; and distribution requirements in social sci­ ences, humanities, and natural sciences, including a laboratory experience. We continue to expect that stu­ dents will take approximately one third of their courses to satisfy College requirements, another third in their major, and the rest as electives. In the early '80s, the Jan­ uary Program was modified slightly, and various experi­ mental programs focusing on the freshman year have been tried, including the highly successful Freshman Seminar Program. We have added new majors in bio­ chemistry, performing arts, public policy, and Russian and Soviet studies and have discontinued the majors in Soneath Hang Pond '89, Jefferson, NH., works with Associate Profes­ human development and Western civilization. We have sor of Chemistry Thomas Shattuck. added minors in African-American studies, anthropology,

6 COLBY creative writing, quantitative methods, science and tech­ nology studies, and women's studies. I am pleased that we continue to include the January term as part of our calendar since it provides a distinctive opportunity for both students and faculty. During the past January, 175 students had off-campus internships, 86 par­ ticipated in Colby-led foreign study trips, and 1,082 took courses on campus, 85 percent of which are not offered in the regular semesters. Colleges which have dropped the January term seem simply to have lengthened the winter holiday break without enhancing the academic programs in the regular terms. The expansion of our program offerings has also com­ pelled real growth in faculty size. Tenure-track faculty, for example, have increased from 112 in 1979 to 128 and total faculty from 140 to 174. Since the number of stu­ dents has remained nearly constant, our student/faculty ratio has decreased from approximately 12:1 in 1979 to 10:1 in 1989. We have also added 35 staff in the com­ puter center, the library, the science laboratories, the health center, admissions and financial aid, and the of- fices of the dean of students and career services. Each of these additions was individually approved by the trus­ tees in response to clearly demonstrated needs to en­ hance student services. Colby has become a national leader in the use of com­ '90, '90, puters at liberal arts colleges. Computer services in the Laney Brown Candia, NH., listens intently as Mark Taylor New Yo rk, NY, makes a point in class. 10 years have grown from two staff members to 13, re­ flecting the growth in College-owned terminals and Mac­ intosh computers from 14 in 1979 to 670 in 1989. Another 930 computers are owned by students and faculty, and more than 260 courses a year in 19 different departments involve computer assignments. This fall, the library cata­ logue will be completely computerized and in the next few years will be linked on-line with the catalogues of Bates, Bowdoin, and the University of Maine. We have been particularly proud of our ability to in­ crease faculty salaries in the 1980s and, in the process, have recovered the erosion of purchasing power experi­ enced in the high inflation of the 1970s. Average faculty salaries have nearly doubled, rising from $21,400 in 1979 to $40,900 this year, while inflation increased 50 percent. Nevertheless, while Colby's salaries rank in the top 5 percent of liberal arts colleges, academic salaries lag fur­ ther and further behind compensation levels in other professions, finance, and industry. A starting lawyer on Wall Street will earn $80,000 a year; a new assistant pro­ fessor can expect $28,000 at Colby even though she or he has had more years of postgraduate training than the lawyer. Obviously, faculty members choose to teach for rea­ sons other than money, but we dare not let compensation levels fall too far behind lest we discourage the best col­ lege graduates from entering Ph.D. programs. American higher education will need to hire 200,000 new faculty in the 1990s, and we must do all we can to keep college teaching sufficiently attractive.

This means we have to work

COLBY 9 hard to increase understanding about issues of race, gen­ der, ethnic origin, and religious discrimination, among others. This past spring, as the result of a racial incident on campus, a task force of students and faculty mounted a special "24 hours" devoted to increasing racial under­ standing. These hours included a rally, a march, an all­ campus convocation, special classes, films, and seminars and concluded with round-table dinner discussions in­ volving virtually the entire student body and two thirds of the faculty. We learned from that 24 hours that Colby is a good and supportive place for minority students, but we can be better still. The President's Ta sk Force on Racial Un­ derstanding which I have appointed will continue work during the fall to help formulate long-term suggestions for us. In the fall we will also organize a task force on is­ sues relating to gender. This group will have a charge similar to that of the task force on race. And finally, throughout the last year a special group of trustees, over­ seers, faculty, students, and staff have examined the is­ sue of Jewish life on campus to be sure that the tradition of religious diversity which was embedded by our Bap­ tist founders in our first charter is reinforced today. Perhaps one of the greatest changes at Colby during the 1980s concerned student life. The trustees, following an 18-month study, decided in January 1984 to replace All-American in cross-country as well as the 5,000-meter and 10,000- the combined dormitories and fraternity-sorority system meter runs, Jill Vollweiler '90, Purchase, NY., overtakes her competi­ tion on the A/fond Track. with a new Commons Plan. The earlier system clearly had some great advantages-particularly group bonding within the fraternities-which have not been replicated by the Commons. On the other hand, the Commons en­ courages participation by all of our students, male and female; opens up housing equally to all students; increas­ es the opportunities for participation in student govern­ ment (62 percent of the students voted in the elections during the spring of 1989); diversifies and decentralizes responsibility for social-life organization; gives students more control over dining options; increases faculty-stu­ dent interaction; and expands the number of cultural fo­ rums and discussions in the residence halls. Student life will continue to evolve, and students will continue to re­ shape the Commons program as well as the vast array of extracurricular clubs (now numbering 60) to reflect their changing interests over time. After the formal withdrawal of recognition from fra­ ternities, several unauthorized groups continued to pledge new members. However, the extent of that activity ap­ pears to have crested during the last year.

During the 1980s we also received grants from the Federal Department of Energy totaling $305,000 to support an energy conserva­ tion program at the College, and we have reduced our annual energy bill by approximately $150,000. The change in campus residential life involved a massive renovation of student residences and the con­ struction of a new, award-winning, and intensively uti­ lized Student Center. Other major building projects during the 1980s included: a doubling of the size of Miller Library; the construction of the 100-bed "Heights" resi­ dence hall, which remains the most popular among stu­ dents in the annual room draw and still looks new after eight years of heavy use; and the renovation of two thirds of the student rooms on campus, including the installa­ tion of sprinklers in all of our residence halls. We have experienced a significant growth in alum­ ni activities. We now have 30 active alumni clubs, up from 23 in 1979, and our alumni fund contributions have grown from $363,000 in 1979 to $1.l million in 1989. Equally dramatic growth has been experienced by the parents fund, which grew from $104,000 in 1979 to $220,000 in 1989. Similarly, alumni participation in re­ union weekends hit a record 1,500 this past June, up from 800 a decade ago.

We have begun to see some moderation in the rate of in­ crease among the Ivy League price leaders, and I would expect that pattern to continue and to more directly af­ fect our own charges during the 1990s. On the average I would expect that Colby charges would increase at infla­ tion plus 2 percent each year, as opposed to inflation plus 4 or 5 percent, which was more common in the last decade. The College does in fact exercise considerable finan­ cial restraint when presenting its annual budget for trus­ tee approval. This last year, for example, we eliminated nearly $2 million in fully justified requests, and yet we pride ourselves on the first-class quality of our faculty, pro­ grams, facilities, and equipment. Since our charges are essentially identical to those of other selective private in­ stitutions in New England, and since our endowment earnings (and annual gift levels) are considerably smaller than many of our peer institutions, it is clear that we have been able to continue to provide one of the finest educa­ tional programs available but at a lower cost per student than others. We achieve this by emphasizing expendi­ tures on instruction, financial aid, and student services and by remaining relatively frugal with respect to ad­ ministrative support and educational plant expenditures. This is a long Colby tradition which we are proud to continue. In order to monitor and strengthen our academic prog­ President Cotter admires the A/fo nd Trackwith donors Harold L.H.D ress and administrative units, in 1980 we inaugurated a '80 and Dorothy "Bibby" Levine A/fo nd '38. program of Overseers Visiting Committees, comprised

Every major unit has been visited at least once, and many have had their second five-year review as well. Each visit has produced helpful recom­ mendations which have made good programs even better. Similarly, the Planning Committee of the Board of Trustees (which also involved faculty and student mem­ bers) last year reviewed our various assessment programs, including the Overseers Visiting Program, which is virtu­ ally unique among peer colleges. The committee conclud­ ed that we do, indeed, have numerous ways of gauging the quality and effectiveness of our educational and sup­ port progran1s. High satisfaction has been reported both in alumni surveys and in the senior surveys conducted the last three years. We are by no means complacent, but we have adequate feedback to be confident about our success in achieving our educational goals.

Before we go, I would like to use this report to thank the faculty, the trustees and overseers, our staff colleagues, and the hundreds of alumni, parents, and friends at Colby with whom we have had the pleasure of working for the last 10 years. We look forward to return­ ing to Waterville in the spring of 1990 to continue our communal efforts to assure Colby's place as one of the truly outstanding liberal arts colleges in the country. The College, building on an outstanding record of achieve­ ment under nearly every Colby president, has made enormous progress, and it is essential that we invest the creativity, energy, and resources necessary to sustain that momentum. I promise to do my part to keep faith with the vision and sacrifices of the thousands who have preceded us in our 176-year history.

There is no question that enhance­ ment of the computing equipment found at a person's desk at Colby will continue, but the most exciting new capabilities in the next few years will be resources available on the network. We are looking at options for connecting our network within the next year or two with high­ speed national networks that would ena­ ble our students and faculty to login, for example, to a supercomputer at the University of Illinois just as if it were on the Colby campus. Such a network would also facilitate accessing data not available locally, such as portions of the United States census data. Te chnology is bringing astounding capabilities to educators and office work­ ers. With the ease of use of modern sys­ tems like the Macintosh, few people re­ sist the temptation to take advantage of what they have to offer to accomplish more in their own fields. The informa­ tion age is sweeping upon us and the computer gives us the tools not only to access that information but also to make sense of it. At Colby we have made great strides in making resources available, but this exciting journey has only just begun.

Having been a proponent for change in calculus instruction since the early 1970s, I have evolved in the direction of the "rallying cries" listed in the beginning of this paper. Last year, however, the change went from evolutionary to revolutionary when I introduced a week­ ly lab in my calculus course. Students working in pairs at a computer became involved in doing mathematics. They talked (often argued) about what to do. I saw a student pull her partner's hand away from the keyboard saying, "Stop! Te ll me what you're doing." Before the end of the first semester, "why" questions had replaced "how to" questions. A mul­ timodal approach to problem solving be­ came evident as the year progressed. In particular, interpreting graphs played a much larger role than it had in previous classes.

Colby has partially succeeded with efforts to economize in the use of more expensive but essential inputs.
