JO For more than 14o years, Colby College has turned out a proud number of leaders •••in education, in government, in religion, in science, in business •••hund.reds and hundreds of them. And all this was ms.de possible by men and women with vision to match their dollars. For they are the ones who have furnished the money which, in part at least, educa­ ted you and me and built the Colby of tod.ay••• money which has assisted Colby in attracting able teachers •••money which has provided scholarships for promising students who other­ wise could not have gone to college.

Colby's current opportunities are great. But if our col­ lege is to fulfill its mission, it needs the wholehearted support of those who believe in the things for which she stands.

Today Colby has a near record number of students to whom it has an urgent obligation. It takes money to edu.cate them

•••even as it took more than you and I paid in tuition and fees to educate us.

Will present Colby undergraduates turn out to be as good citizens as Colby students of the past if you and I support them by giving generously to the 19)7 Alumni Fund? I believe you share our confidence that they 'idll.

It will continue to defend civil liberties. It will co ntinue to challenge the un­ bridled power of governmental authority.
