THE STRIDER YEARS An Extension of The History of Colby College ERNEST CUMMINGS MARRINER THE STRIDER YEAR S Colby historian Ernest Cummings Mar­ riner has painted " The Strider Years" in full color, resplendent with the many hues of academic leadership that shone through Robert E. Lee Strider's nineteen years as president of Colby College. It is an historic tour de force of which only Ernest Marriner is capable, for he is the embodiment of the scholarship and perspective necessary to capture the moods and motions of this exciting pe­ riod in Colby's history. Although these pages are a book unto itself, they are a sequel to his 1963 monu­ mental record of Colby's birth and fre­ quent re-bornings. It is a brilliant exten­ sion of his previous work, even as Presi­ dent Strider's tenure was an extension of the inspired years of leadership that had gone before.

FALL 1988 FOR ALU FRIENDS (gMMENTARY Ours Is a Great Tradition The fall issue of Colby combines highlights of the 1 75-year history of Colby College and the annual report of the president. Our cover photographs were taken on Johnson Pond last February 27 as 175 balloons headed skyward to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the signing of the College charter. I'm grateful to the students in Professor Thomas Longstaff's Jan Plan, "The History of Colby College," who passed me the results of their researches. P.-A. Lenk and J. Fraser Cocks of Special Collections led us to countless photos and documents in Colby's archives. Chris Finlayson, a Maine free-lance writer, did much of the research and many of the stories on distinguished Colby alumni. I'm indebted as always to Colby assistant editor Nancy Fortuine Westervelt '54 for her special perspective as an alumna and faculty spouse, to Bonnie Bishop for her artful production of the magazine, and to Catherine Anderson for her able photography.
