Jens Frederick Larson, architect of Mayflower Hill, records his story"

N THE EAllLY FALL of 1930 on a trip J from Hanover, New Hampshire, to Manhasset, Maine, my engineer, Thomas Tash, and I passed through Waterville by the old campus of Colby. I could not help turning to Mr. Tash and saying what a terrible location that had become for a college. We discussed the problems such a sit­ uation must make for Colby as we continued on our way. Passing through Augusta on our return I noticed a hill of large acreage opposite the airport. Later I found out that this land was owned by Wil­ liam H. Gannett, the publisher. I mentioned that this would make an ideal site for a college. Some months later I was invited to Colby by Dr. Johnson to be the archi­ tect of its re-development on a new site. This was a thrilling challenge. In February, 1931, I was instructed to proceed with a study of the campus development. Dr. Frederick W. Pad­ elford, (Colby 1894 ), of the Northern Baptist Convention agreed to finance my preliminary studies of the build­ ings, and a contract was signed with me in June, 1931.

A team - Larsen and Eustis

6 COLBY ALUMNUS Our first problem was to find a ite. Remembering my trip through Augusta and that beautiful Gannett property, I suggested that an approach be made to him. Mr. Gannett was perfectly willing to give the land if Colby cared to accept it. The drawing up of a complete set �f plans for the college on this loca­ tion gave us the opportunity of work­ ing with the faculty committees to find out the definite needs for a college of 1,000 students. The Gannett acre­ age had great appeal, but the trustees felt that it would be far better to stay in Waterville. After much discussion Mayflower Hill was chosen. Realizing the con­ tribution which the college made to the life of Waterville, local citizens raised funds to purchase the property and deeded it to the college. Walter S. Wyman (Colby, 1927, Hon.) had much to do with expediting the trans­ fer of the land. He also induced the Central Maine Power Company to have its engineers make a survey of this tract. Next it was necessary to set up plans for the essential ro<,1.ds to and &om the city, as well as their future connections with the county and state highway systems. All this was done while the plans were developing for building the college. A. Galen Eustis was appointed sec­ TOP: The date, August 14, 1931 .

HAT DOES the small liberal arts college contribute to W America? Why must it be perpetuated and sup­ ported? These are some of the questions the NBC-TV film The Small College purports to answer. When directors of Teleprograms, Incorporated elect­ ed to produce such -a film they chose Colby as the outstanding example of such a college. For nearly a week the TV crew photographed life on MayBower Hill, recording the story which will be released nation­ wide over NBC in the late winter or early spring. These pictures by Bill Tobey, '44, give some of the flavor of those sequences. The Old Campus and the Mew - Bob Wilkins, '51, his dad, '20, and Hodapp.

Conference with Chappie Top: Cameraman Jo e Dephoure discusses scene with two alumni of the Old Campus - Bob Wi lkins and Dr. Johnson.

Center: It was inevitable that a 11 bull session /1 should be put on film.

Bottom: Liberal arts graduates go into a variety of fields. One of them is medicine. David Mills, '57, was photographed in a before­ and-after sequence - as a student and as a doctor. Photo adjacent is of NBC-TV electrician Paul Coughlin. January 18, 1954

FELLOW ALUMNI AND SUPPORTERS OF COLBY:

I am happy to inform you that our Alumni Fund for 1952-53 totaled $36,893.20 from 2368 contributors. We not only made the $35,000 quota, but went over the top by $1 ,893.20. To everyone who contribu­ ted to this success with money, time, appeals, interest and prayers the college sincerely says "Thank you."

And now for 1953-54. We have put our sights high - at

$1 00,000 - for we desire to honor the man who had the vision of the new Colby "set on an hill," Dr. Franklin W. Johnson, by naming � scholarship fund for him.

Surely you will agree that a fund designed to assist worthy appli­ cants who need financial assistance in obtaining an education is a tribute worthy of Franklin W. Johnson. Already friends of Colby and of Dr. Johnson have expressed their approval and enthusiasm for such a program honoring the creator of "The Venture of Faith."

If our friends feel so keenly the power embodied in such an idea Colby alumni cannot fail to grasp its significance and be motivated to have a personal part.

In ages to come every person who can say "The Franklin W. Johnson Financial Aid Fund helped me get my education" will rise up to bless all of you who help in designing and establishing such scholarships, for an idea so permeated with good can hardly fail to grow until one day it will surely stand at $1 ,000,000.
