Colby College 1820-1925
COLBY COLLEGE �N �CCO UN'T OF ITS BEGINNINGS, PROGRESS AND SERVICE By EDWIN CAREr WHITTEMORE WAC£ERVILLE, MAINE THE TRUSTEES OF COLBY COLLEGE MCMXXVII Copyright, 1927, by Edwin Corey Whittemore Printed by The Southworth Press, Portland, Moine FO REWORD T was in a high and difficult faith that, over a century ago, the foundations of Colby College were laid. The purpose of its founders was to establish a Christian school that should furnish an adequate ministry to the church, and men of high character to the state (in itself the latest, and none too hopeful, experiment in democracy! ) . None of these founders were rich, few were learned, but they had the self-sacrifice and daring of intellectual and spiritual pioneers. This writer has tried clearly to see, and honestly to appreciate, the men who have made Colby-their motives, sacrifices, suc cesses, and failures. They were men of their day who were will ing to spend their lives that the next day might be wiser and more worthy. It is in gratitude that we bring this tribute to our intel lectual and spiritual fathers. Had these men not lived, and taught, and wrought righteousness, our heritage in all fields had been poorer, and the future of the world less full of promise. The college had no wealthy patron at the start. For many years no name appeared on its subscription book with a pledge of over $1,000. Yet with sturdy independence the col'lege has used what it had and kept on its way. Its resources have come from its own field, or from those who have profited by its beneficence. -

By henry S. BURRAGE, D. D. PORTLAND, ME.: Marks Printing House, Printers. 1904. PR EFACE. The preparation of this history of the Baptists in Maine was commenced many years ago, and the Maine Baptist Missionary Convention, at its meeting in Bath, Oct. 7, 1891, expressed its approval of the undertaking ; but when the task was only about half completed other literary labor claimed the attention of the writer, and the work on that account was suspended. With the approach of the centen- nial of the Convention, it was suggested that the cen- tennial year would be a fitting one for the publication of such a work, and early in 1903 the writer returned to his task, and has now carried it forward to completion. When the work was resumed, the scope of the under- taking was widened, and it was decided to add a com- panion volume. The secretary of the Convention, Rev. A. T. Dunn, D. D., was asked to prepare an account of each minister hitherto connected with our Maine Baptist churches; and the secretary of the executive commit- tee. Rev. E. C. Whittemore, D. -
Could Improve Student Interests in Sciences, Flagging Nationally for More Than a Decade.1 1 Also at Stake Was Whether Colby Coul
could improve student interests in sciences, flagging nationally formor e than a decade.11 Also at stake was whether Colby could compete with colleges that had already begun to fillthe need with new science buildings and equipment. Although the College's science facilities had been expanded in the 1970s, plan ners concluded that faculty growthand teaching changes now left Colby "two buildings short." The firstmodest step came in 1991-92 with a bridge between the Arey and Mudd buildings, providing needed seminar rooms and freeing space forfurther renov ations. Elsewhere, the admissions staff, expanded to handle a rising tide of appli cations and to support diversity initiatives, had outgrown its Eustis Building space. In 1991 Peter ('56) and Paula Lunder made the naming gift forthe new admissions home, east of Mayflower Hill Drive, mimicking a grand Maine farmhousewith windows of the interviewing offices facingirresistible views of the central mall and the library. Tbe Lunder House was opened in the fall of 1992, together with the Keyes-Arey bridge, the Lovejoy annex, and "Phase II" of improvements to the Bixler Center, including a gallery, art and music li brary, and additional storage space. The central steam plant was at once the least glamorous and most cost saving of any facilityyet built on the Hill. By the mid-198os the College was facinga choice: spend $1.5 million rebuilding and expanding the thirteen in dividual networked boilers or construct a central heating plant. Alan Lewis, director of the Physical Plant Department, wanted a single plant. Lewis, a fru gal Yankee, was pained to watch dollars drain through a patchwork of Rube Goldberg boilers and poorly insulated steam lines that kept the overhead grass green all winter. -
