More than a contrast in time and place: In 1903 students staged A Society Racket, an adaptation of the farce-comedy, My Friend from India. This January Jesus Christ Superstar was produced in the new Performing Arts Center. In the cover photograph, a group of actors from that performance stands in the recently-added corridor alongside Runnals Union before an evening rehearsal.

1 In Tribute The Strider Theater

"Th is college proudly bears the imprint of Bob and Helen Strider. Their intense interest in the arts has fostered innovations and achievement and has devel­ oped resources which have enriched Colby and the community . "The theater is a symbol of creativity and individual­ ity with which the Striders are identified. It is fitting that this superb facility bear their name." During President Strider's administration the arts have grown and flourished on campus. Shortly after ! they came to Colby the Striders helped to establish, and joined, the Waterville Area Community Chorus. Through the initiative of Mrs. Strider, the Colby Music II Associates was founded in 1961 to presentan annual concert series. Enthusiasm for music, especially vocal, was nour­ ished during their own college years. Indeed it was in preparation for a joint concert by the Harvard Glee Club and the Radcliffe Choral Society that they met. They were married in 1941 . After wartime service in the Navy he joined the English department at Connecticut College, where he served from 1946 until 1957. That year he was appointed Colby's dean of faculty. At Con­ necticut College the Striders sang in the Palestrina Society . President Strider has been a frequent soloist with choirs and oratorios. He has appeared with the Colby Community, Bangor and Portland symphony orches­ tras, and has sung in numerous programs at Lorimer Chapel and at various churches. Dance has likewise received the Striders' attention and support. The program grew to such proportions that it earned its own facilities in the Performing Arts Center. Colby's first instructor in modem dance, Faith Gulick, was appointed early in President Strider's administration. Drawing on a friendship established at Connecticut College, the Striders arranged for the late Jose Limon and his famous dance company to perform at the Waterville Opera House under sponsorship of the college.

Though abuzz with activity, the mammoth shop pro­ vided abundant space for the stagehands and their work.

An infectious sense of anticipation preceded the opening of Dido and Aeneas in the new Strider Theater.

Stage and shop are separated by two massive steel doors which, when opened, allow entire sets to be rolled directly onstage.

As the call "1 5 min utes to curtain" sounds over the intercom in the men s dressing room, vests of armor are readied and the final touches of grease­ paint are applied.

Elegantly attired firstnighters entered through the equally resplendent lobby.

A true visionary, Paolo Soleri, far left, talked informally with students in the Museum of Art. Surrounded by his own models and drawings, he explained the work of the Cosanti Foundation which, under his direction, is developing alternativeurban environ­ ments. Using a new theory of building called arcology (from architecture and ecology), Soleri and his followers are now building a prototype city for 3,000 people in central Arizona called Arcosanti. As in all Soleri's designs, the city combines beauty with the conservation of resources and makes extensive use of the sun for both food and energy production.

The first person in history to receive two Nobel prizes, me in chemistry in 1954 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1962, Pauling said "our goal for the world and mankind must be based on he ethical principle of minimizing human suffering. I talk about suffering rather than happiness or euphoria because I think ufferingis more important. In order that everyone not suffer," he said, "one needs good clothing, food, housing, education for a 1leasing, satisfyingjob, leisure time, and money to appreciate travel and enjoy the wonders of the world."

The performingarts were represented by Ellen Burstyn, 1975 Academy Award winner as best film actress in Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore. Asked during the panel discussionhow some plays are successfully translated into foreign languages and how others can withstand the passage of time, she said, "Hamlet asked the question, 'To be, or not to be.' People are still asking that question no matter how their society changes. Theater, if it's live, changes with the times, and the truth that lives behind the words takes on new meaning when it's within the context of a new society." Robert Heilbroner, professor of economics at the New School for Social Research in New York City. warned that American society will undergo a pro­ found change in the next 50 years. "We have about 25 years of reasonably safe growth," he predicted, but growth in the following 25 years will be diffi­ cult and uncertain as the nation moves toward a no-growth economy. "It's a bitter pill ...for Americans," he said. "It's ag ainst our grain to look at the future, but the gauntlet has to be run."

Though the ever-present cameraman soon blended into the background, Colby's new portable stage and acoustic shell remained impressive in its magnitude. Used throughout the symposium, it transformed Wadsworth Gymnasium into an ample, if not intimate, lecture hall.

Grant Received

A grant of $185,000 in support of academic areas has been awarded to Colby by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation of New York City. Foundation President John E. Sawyer, in his letter of transmittal, indicated the funds were to be used over the next five years ''to develop new curriculum, expand the com­ petence of faculty members beyond their own disciplines, and help indi­ vidual faculty members complete significant scholarly research projects." In making the announcement President Strider said: "The Andrew W. Mellon Founda­ tion and its predecessors have been exceedingly generous to Colby over the years.
