Colby College is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. Membership in the association indicates that the institution has been carefully evaluated and found to meet standards agreed upon by qualified educators. Colby College is a private, coeducational liberal arts college that admits students and makes personnel decisions on the basis of the individual's qualifications to contribute to Colby's educational objective and institutional needs. The principle of not discriminating on the basis . of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, religion, age, parental or marital status, national or ethnic origin, political beliefs, or disability unrelated to job or course of study requirements is con i tent with the mission of a liberal arts college and the law. Colby is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer and operates in accordance with federal and state laws regarding nondiscrimination. The College reserves the right in its sole judgment to make changes of any nature in its program, calendar, academic schedule, fees, deposits, or any other matters in this catalogue.

The Colby experience is designed to enable each student to find and fulfill his or her own unique potential. It is hoped that students will become critical and imaginative thinkers who are: welcoming of diversity and compassionate toward others; capable of distinguishing fact from opinion; intellectually curious and aesthetically aware; adept at synthesis as well as analysis; broadly educated with depth in some areas; proficient in writing and speaking; fa miliar with one or more scientific disciplines; knowledgeable about American and other cultures; able to create and enjoy opportunities for life long learning; willing to assume leadership roles as students and citizens; prepared to respond flexibly to the changing demands of the world of work; useful to society and happy with themselves. Colby stands for diversity, without which we become parochial; for respect for various lifestyles and beliefs, without which we become mean,spirited; and for the protection of every individual against discrimination. In the classroom and outside, there is freedom to study, to think, to speak, and to learn in an environment that insists upon the freeand open exchange of ideas and views The Colby Plan is a series of 10 educational precepts that reflect the principal elements of a liberal education and serve as a guide fo r making reflective course choices, fo r measuring educational growth, and for planning fo r education beyond college. Students are urged to pursue these objectives not only in their course work but also through educational and cultural events, campus organizations and activities, and service to others. These precepts, which the College believes are at the heart of a liberal arts education, are: • to develop one's capability for critical thinking, to learn to articulate ideas both orally and in writing, to develop a capacity for independent work, and to exercise the imagination through direct, disciplined involvement in the creative process; • to become knowledgeable about American culture and the current and historical interrelationships among peoples and nations; • to become acquainted with other cultures by learninga fo reign language and by living and studying in another country or by closely examining a culture other than one's own; • to learnhow people different from oneself have contributed to the richness and diversity of society, how prejudice limits such personal and cultural enrichment, and how each individual can confront intolerance; • to understand and reflect searchingly upon one's own values and the values of others; • to become familiar with the art and literature of a wide range of cultures and historical periods; • to explore in some detail one or more scientific disciplines, including experimental methods, and to examine the interconnections between developments in science and technology and the quality of human life; • to study the ways in which natural and social phenomena can be portrayed in quantitative terms and to understand the effects and limits of the use of quantitative data in forming policies and making decisions; • to study one discipline in depth, to gain an understanding of that discipline's methodologies and modes of thought, areas of application, and relationship to other areas of knowledge; • to explore the relationships between academic work and one's responsibility to contribute to the world beyond the campus. 6 About Colby Chartered by the General Court of Massachusetts in 1813, seven years before Maine became a state, Colby is the 12th,oldest independent liberal arts college in the nation. In 1871 it became the first previously all,male college in New England to admit women. Before World War II, trustees voted to move the College from its crowded original site in downtown Waterville to the handsome Mayflower Hill campus of more than 700 acres, where 55 buildings have been constructed since 193 7. Today, Colby's 1,700 students-evenly divided between men and women--come from virtually every state and some two dozen foreign countries. Alumni, numbering more than 21,000, are represented in all 50 states as well as 68 foreign countries and four territories. Students may choose from nearly 500 courses in 40 major fields and have wide flexibility in designing independent study programs, electing pecial majors, and participating in internships and exchange programs. Nearly two thirds of all Colby students will study abroad at some time during their undergraduate experience. Historically, Colby has valued understanding of and concern for others, diversity of thought and culture, open access to campus groups and organizations, and personal and academic honesty. In order to embrace and support these values, members of the College community bear a special responsibility, in all of their words and actions, to honor and protect the rights and feelings of others. The Commons Plan was designed to reinforce and amplify these values. Integral to the plan was the decision to withdraw recognition fromColby's several fraternities. The trustees determined that these groups had become disconsonant with Colby's values because they tended to narrow the opportunities and experiences of students rather than expand them, because they were discriminatory against women and were exclusionary by nature, and because fraternity members often engaged in disruptive and undesirable activities such as hazing and pressuring students to join. The Commons Plan offers a number of advantages to students. There are four distinct small communities or "commons," each with its own dining facilities and governing units. Housing of all kinds throughout the campus is available on an equal basis to all students, and students play a greater role in the control and governance of the public spaces within the Commons, including the dining halls. Out,of,class faculty,student interaction is enhanced, and opportunities for the development and expression of individual student leadership come from involvement with the governing bodies and from organizing intellectual and social activities within the Commons. Student may reside within the same residence hall and Commons for more than one year, so that friend hips can more easily be formed and sustained throughout the college years and afterward. The Cotter Union serves as a focus for the Commons Plan and as a forum for campus, wide social and cultural activities.

  • 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.
