9 Kingsley Harlow Birge 1916-1980

Kingsley Harlow Birge, professor and former chairman of the sociol­ ogy department, died July 17 at his summer home in Georgetown at the age of 64 . He was born in Worcester, Mass., and grew up in that state, and in Istanbul, Turkey, where his parents were educational missionaries. A graduate of high school at Robert College in Istanbul, and of Deer­ field Academy, he received his undergraduate education at Dartmouth College, and his doctorate from Yale University in 1946. He joined the Colby faculty that year, and in 1962 became chairman of the department, a position he held for more than a decade. A specialist in social behavior, Professor Birge always questioned the easy assump­ tion, the deeply cynical idea . He wanted to know what made a society good . In an article in 1952 for the Colby Scholar, a now-defunct jour­ nal he helped establish, he wrote:

People who believe that warfare is a natural consequence of inborn tendencies to aggression must explain the fact that soldiers have to be drafted against their will, that there are innumerable from society to fight wars when the time comes, that soldiers receive a wide variety of rewards for doing their duty, and are punished for not doing what they are called upon to do, that a steady and intense propaganda is aimed at reinforcing the will to fight. Such an arrangement of rewards and punishments and influences implies that war cannot be so simply explained in terms of inborn tendencies.

His teaching methods were often called Socratic, a term Gustave Todrank discussed in the memorial service. "Like Socrates, he enticed students into an intellectual safari of ever-expanding horizons which led the students to make their own discoveries." Professor Todrank remembered Kingsley Birge as a man who believed what Alfred North Whitehead proposed, that it was more important for an idea to be in­ teresting than true. The fascinating idea, even if fallacious, was a kind of lure for students. Stephen Marks, formerly a sociology professor at Colby, said: "He reshaped the thrust of my intellect in the most gentle and un­ prepossessing manner imaginable and it is not an exaggeration to say that everything I've written since then was written for him and everything always will be." He is survived by his wife, Jane Burges Sill Birge, whom he mar­ ried in 1940, his daughter, Darice, a brother and two sisters.

The sociology department has established the Kingsley H. Birge Memorial Fund for an annual lecture in his name. Individuals wishing to contribute may call or write Professor Frederick A. Geib at Colby College.

The efforts to change the system, through everything from litigation to violence, were crushed by the government. Many of the leaders were executed or stripped of prop­ erty.

Professor Bowen concludes the book by writing , "I would say, first, that the warm reception the people of Japan gave to Taisho democracy (1912-1926), and second, the equally warm one they gave to the democratic reforms effected by the Occupation after the Second World War lead us to infer that the effects of the demo­ cratic experiment begun by the farmers of the 1880' s were not lost to subsequent generations."

12 "This zs not simply a business of ringing doorbells" HARLES PENROSE WILLIAMSON, JR . '63, WHO BEGAN IN C September as the director of alumni relations and annual giving, plans to "build on the accomplish­ ments of [his] predecessors: to improve the clubs, and the annual giving participation, and to inform the alumni about the college.'' "Pen" has long been active in alumni affairs. "I first served on the alumni council, as my class representative, in 1969," he said. "Through the years the alumni have become more informed, and their role has been expanded . They are interviewing pro­ spective students, evaluating the broader policies of the college, and recommending changes . They inter­ viewed the final candidates for college president . They serve as trustees and several alumni are overseers, as part of Colby's new program. Alumni more involved is part of the steady progress of the college." A good part of Williamson's time will be devoted to improving annual giving, financial support from alumni. He said that he would like to "personalize this business more . We are asking people to make a commitment and an investment, and few people can evaluate the college from a form letter. I'd like to see trustees, staff, and volunteers visit alumni, so that we can answer their questions about Colby . Some people believe that donating should be part of every Colby person's life-and I agree-but we cannot take that for granted. We have had a rising participation rate for years: 400/o of our alumni annually donate to the college. This puts us in the top two-thirds of all col­ leges in the country. I would like to see Colby achieve a 50% participation rate within a few years." The clubs are part of the efforts to keep alumni in­ formed and to promote participation . Frequently, a professor or an administrator will talk to club members. Jean Papalia, associate director of alumni relations, reports that in the last year, the number of events has increased more than 50% . The alumni clubs raise scholarship funds, organize telethons, and hold receptions for prospective students. "We want to organize more clubs," said Williamson, "because we believe that wherever Colby people are, they want to know more about the college. President Cotter's Oc­ tober trip to the West Coast made this evident . More than 50 people attended his talk in Seattle, where there is not even a club established ." Pen Williamson concluded by answering a question he is often asked. "When people wonder why I am in fund raising, I tell them that it is not simply a busi­ ness of ringing doorbells. The nice thing about this work is that people endorse what you believe in, they endorse Colby College as a place for quality educa­ tion."

Reinhard was a member of the S.E.D., the Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands, the rul­ ing political party. He is convinced that socialism will work in the G. D.R., and wants to be there to see that . So, there was no real danger that he would stay in this country. A lot of people did ask him questions such as, "Wouldn't it be nice to own a Honda, or to buy a piece of land on Great Pond?" He said, no, not really. What puzzled him were the different prices-he would see the same thing in the A&P and the First National for different costs, and didn't understand it, since prices are fixed in the G.D.R. He was impressed with the United States, especially by the industry. After hearing about the contradic­ tions in the free-market system, and that the Gross National Product was going down, he was surprised at the tremendous industrial power in this country, which you can see every time you get on a train that travels through the outside of a city. He sent business books and American literature back to the G.D.R. The libraries in the country separate Western reading materials, which are con­ sidered to be dangerous, and reserve them for certain people, such as scholars. The government does ap­ prove of American authors-Ernest Hemingway, Frank Norris, and Joseph Heller-who write about the working class.

It is still horrible to have a wall, but I wrote about what it meant to the development of the G.D.R. There is a new idea there which I call positive criticism.

Thank you for your contributions to the Annual Fund. Last year was cer­ tainly one to remember, for you helped us set a high standard for the years to come.

Moreover, the response to the fund-raising effort constitutes an en­ thusiast ic and tangible endorsement of President Cotter and is a reaffirmation of your dedication to the concept of the private liberal arts college. You sup­ port Colby because you wish to perpetuate quality education.

Many of the accomplishments of the past year are attributable to the hard work of Frank Stephenson, the former Director of Alumni Relations and Annual

Giving. He never considered that our endeavors would be anything but suc­ cessful. He gave us his inexhaust ible energy and his friendship, and the results are a testimony to his effectiveness. I never met a Colby person who did not like Frank; we wi ll miss him, and we wish him wel l.

To Associate Director La urie Fitts, who unfortunately is also leaving, our thanks and gratitude for years of going that extra mile for us. Her contagious enthusiasm and ability to get things done will be long remembered.

Colby is fortunate to have Charles "Pen" Wi lliamson '63 as our new Direc­ tor of Alumni Relations and Annual Giving. He is superbly qualified for this job, and his friendly manner and concern for others are consistent with the tradition established by his Colby predecessors.

To all of you who gave, and to those alumni volunteer workers who made me appear to be so effective, I say thank you for Colby and for the future generations of students. Remember, we needed you yesterday. and we wi II need you tomorrow because the quest for excellence in education is unending.

Through your generosity you have formed an inseparable and personally rewarding alliance with Colby. You are the strength of the college today, as we ll as the promise of its future.

Sincerely,

David Marson '48

OR ALMOST FORTY YEARS, AND IN THE NAME OF Sean O'Kelly, then president of the Irish Republic, FIrish National ism, Cuala Industries accomplished asking how Cuala should be pronounced. "The C is what a small press is seldom capable of: the high hard and the u long," replied Mr. O'Kelly. "The quality production of both established and new proper pronunciation would be like 'koola.' " literature. Founded in 1908 by Elizabeth and Lily The newly established press was staffed by five Yeats, sisters of the poet , William Butler Yeats, the women, with Elizabeth as its director, and W. B. Cuala Press printed poetry, drama, and essays, in Yeats as editor. Two books were published annually, books and on broadsides, using fine Irish paper and as well as broadsides and commissioned greeting cards nearly forgotten but classical typography. The ''weird and special editions . The unifying subject was Ireland. sisters" as James Joyce called them in Ulysses, pub­ lished the obscure and the influential: they revived Gaelic folklore and printed for the first time works by modern writers such as Ezra Pound, W. B. Yeats, John Synge, Lady Gregory, and Sean O'Faolain. Through the first gift of James Healy, establishing the Irish literature collection in 1948, Colby College holds the entire run of the sixty-seven book series, several special editions, and almost all of the broadsides of the Cuala Press. Elizabeth Corbett Yeats was particularly suited to fo unding the press. Her family was dedicated to Ireland through literature and art, and was sur­ rounded by a community of artists and writers . As a young woman, she had studied with the foremost typographer of her time-Emery Walker of the Kelmscott Press, and as her fat her, John Butler Yeats, once wrote, "Elizabeth is not meditative, but has a certain salient talent for constructive work." She was, however, supposed to have been afraid of machines. Elizabeth and Lily studied embroidery design with , architect and owner of the Kelmscott Press. Lily stayed on, while Elizabeth took a course at the Women's Printing Society in London. In the early part of the century, hand-press work was a woman's craft, much like embroidery or weaving. Later, from her lessons with Walker, Elizabeth developed her sim­ ple and discerning taste in book production . The Cuala books are all printed in plain Caslon type, which was a font out of general use for a hundred years, on a high-rag-content paper, bound in blue linen-covered board. The Yeats sisters and Evelyn Gleeson, another young woman who studied with Morris, founded Dun Erner Industries, dedicated to embroidery, rug pro­ duction, and book publishing . Five years later, Elizabeth and Lily left to start the Cuala Press. Miss Gleeson continued to make rugs for Dun Erner. The Cuala Press is named after the barony in which it is located, Bri Cuallann. Soon after Colby acquired the books, College Historian Ernest C. Marriner wrote

23 In a 1970 article in the Wesleyan Library Notes, Michael J. Durkan quoted W. B. as writing to a friend, "My sister's books are like an old fam ily magazine. A few hundred people could buy them all and expect a common theme . Only once did I put a book into the series that was not Irish. Ezra Pound's Noh Plays [his translation of the Japanese, ed.], and I had to write a long introduction to annex Ireland to Japan." In I908 , Elizabeth started "A Broadside," a monthly publication of what looked like small posters : I I in. x 7 in. pages with colored drawings, calligraphed verse, and musical scores. W. B. Yeats supplied much of the poetry, and their brother, Jack, sketched many of the pictures. Ancient ballads and folklore were published, illustrated with drawings of an idyllic Irish countryside. Three hundred of each four-page edition were printed until I 9 I 5, and subse­ quently revived for several years in the I 930's. Durkan reports what W. B., writing in a letter, had hoped for the series. "We wanted to get new or queer verse into circulation and we shall succeed. The work of Irish poets, quite deliberately put into circulation with its music [from] thirty years ago is now all over the country." The broadsides, with their bright colors and elaborate calligraphy, are as busy as the Cuala books are austere. The Cuala Press has since been taken over by another company. Elizabeth, who started the press "to give work to Irish girls and to enable us to live in Ireland doing good work," died in I940, a year after her brother, William . Mrs . W. B. Yeats began manag­ ing the press and printed a few books, and many hand-colored prints until her death in I968 . The most vital age of the press, however, was when Elizabeth and William were in charge . As director and publisher, they could often be at odds over what was best for the press, and for Ireland. Michael Durkan's article quotes W. B. Yeats as once saying to his wife, "I'm meeting Elizabeth at the Shelbourne Hotel because there we won't be able to shout at one another.'' The press was successful because it 51.T:EVEMOR.E . ACHlLL. transcended its purpose as a family business, and even a patriotic one: it printed literature of universal significance in a way that has been destroyed by the industry itself. The quality of production and of writing has ensured that the work of Cuala Industries will be around for a long time.

Men's Soccer Rallies to Wi nning Season Women's varsity tennis, under the first-year direction of former by James Cook '78 team member Beverly Nalbandian '80, continued its tradition of excellence, capturing the state crown for the second consecutive season and winning eight of ten matches. The team gained regional respect by fi nishing among the top 15 of 57 colleges participating in the New England tournament. In the state tournament held at Bates, Colby was guaranteed the singles crown as top-seeded Maura Shaughnessy '83 (Sudbury, Mass.) and teammate Brigid McCarthy '83 (San Francisco, Calif.) both reached the final round.

The team performance gave Colby the state championship, the third in the past four seasons. "Superb" is how Coach Debbie Pluck characterized women's field hockey. With a final record of 11-2-1, the team registered its finest campaign. One reason for the success was the defense led by Captain Sara Bunnell '81 (Norwell, Mass.). The goalie allowed only nine goals while recording seven shutouts. The White Mules' offense, paced by link Leah Maher '82 (Hudson, Ohio), tallied 47 goals to set a col­ lege record.
