2 and you are broa dly educated with depth in at least one major area .... During this past year we surveyed the Colby classes of 1978, 1976, and 1968, and more than two-th ir ds of the graduate s responded. First, let me assure you that liberal-arts graduate s do get jobs! 960Jo are either employed or are full-time students. If the experience of your predecessors is repeated, this is what the future holds for you : 800Jo will attend gra duate school an d you will find yourselves well prepared for advanced stu dies. You will scatter to nearly sixty dif­ ferent un iversities in the United States, including many of the most prestigiou s. Rough ly one-quarter of you will enter graduate school immediately upon graduation from Colby and another 250Jo alrea dy have definite employment plans. Some 300Jo intend to look for a job an d 200Jo will take time off for travel and other activities. Of those who seek work, nearly three­ quarters will find jobs within three months .... These predictions of your future employment and gra duate school pattern s will be true regar dless of your major. ... I do not want to be misunderstood as implying that your four years at Colb y constitute a completed edu­ cation . As noted, gra duate school lies ahead for mo st of you .

3 On Forgetfulness

Remarks by Frank F. Wirmusky (Hoosick Falls, N. Y.), Class Speaker

friends an d faculty, when at least momentarily, everything seemed to make sense. It would be a shame to forget our experiences of exuberant comraderie in team sports, mu sica l and theatrical productions, and group academic projects-an exc itement that we might ideally extend into greater, humanitarian co­ operative endeavors. And within our groups, it would be a shame to forget the bonds of individual friend­ ships, our feelings of intimacy, purpose, and commit­ ment to one another, whether or not this closeness is preservable without additives over the years that stretch in front of us. I am particularly touched by, an d would like to share with you, the words of Lillian Hellman about the duration of her friendship with Dorothy Parker, written after Ms. Parker's death: "I wa s the only executor of her will. I was, I am, moved that she wanted it that way, because the will had been dictated during the years of my neglect . But I had always known an d always admired her refusal to chastise or complain about neglect.

In your 64th year with this world-wide chemical and natural resources leader, you now serve as a director and ad visor to the Chairman of Grace and you also serve as Chairman of the Grace Founda­ tion. You have unique and long-standing ties to the State of Maine. The founder of your company, William Russell Grace, journeyed from Peru to Thomaston, Maine in 1859 to marry Miss Lillius Gilchrest of Tenants Harbor. Since that time you and other Grace executives have often visited Maine and have supported educational projects in this state . These include the Lillius Gilchrest Grace Institute established in the mid-1930 's by Grace family members, their friends and associates. Instruction in home economics and industrial arts is made available by the institute to young men and women in small Maine seacoast communities. Hundreds of junior high school pupils attending the district school near Tenants Harbor have been the beneficiaries of this generosity and foresight. Colby is proud to salute a friend of education and a thoughtful cit izen who The Greek tragedy, Agamemnon, by Aeschylus was deeply cares and a man whose own career can serve as presented on commencement weekend by a cast consisting an inspiration to today's young men and women. of members of the senior class.

12 Colby's beloved author and historian, Dean Ernest Cummings Marriner '13, L.H.D. '53, provided a rare treat in autographing his books at the college bookstore.

The Reunion Ramble, now a tradition, attracted a sizeable number competing in various categories and at a selection of distances. Number 209 in the children's division captured a lot of hearts. He is Gavin Fitts, receiving official identifica­ tion from his mother, Amy Brewer Fitts '71. The Class of 1966, with an array of speedsters and joggers, earned the trophy presen ted to the class covering the highest total of miles in the competition.

16 Celebration of Life by Hilda Fife '26

Excerpts from the Boardman Address, Sunday, June 7, honoring those Colby men and women who have died in the last year.

" y ANNOUNCED TITLE IS CELEBRATION OF LIFE"­ M the life of a great man of our past and the lives of our own Colby contemporaries, men and women who lived and loved and labored through college days and through the rest of their lives. You have read their names this morning, and have individually remembered many of them as we knew them in our college days, down by the Kennebec or here on Mayflower Hill. My text is a familiar one, Psalm 16:6, ''The lines have fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage." Today I would share with you some of the thoughts and memories that many of you will recognize, and that all of you, if you wish, can refresh by reading a little book that was unexpectedly and providentially given to me shortly after I was asked to speak at this service. At the time I was far too busy to read the book, and I put it aside; it must wait till summer. But something kept urging me to read it now. I can resist everything but temptation, so I yielded, justifying myself by saying to my New England conscience: ''All right! It will help me get into the Colby spirit during the coming weeks as I hammer out some kind of talk for the Boardman Memorial Service." Who is the great Colby man of our past whose life I would celebrate today? Some of you had the privilege of taking his courses; some of you knew him, although you were not in his classes (in those days we knew all the professors, and they, I believe, knew us): and even you who are back for reunions of Jess than fifty years have heard of him, perhaps from your parents or grandparents-or even your great­ even read it a third time.

The federal government has done a better job at knocking American business out of the world marketplace than any foreign competition, and foreign competitors have worked pretty well at it." Business and the liberal arts have a responsibility to each other , Bullock believes. "Business has obliga­ tions to provide jobs and opportunities for graduates , while colleges have the responsibility to provide broadly educated people with good judgement and ini­ tiative . Business also appreciates that private colleges like Colby cannot support themselves on tuitions alone. There fore , if business wants what colleges pro­ duce, it has to play its part by providing financial support that perpetuates the system.Colleges have an effe ct on business , just as business has an effe ct on colleges." Clearly , Bullock is an exemplary bene ficiary of that relationship . On visits to Mayflower Hill, Mr. Bullock enjoys sharing with students his interest in theater.

He was not above redoing his work , sometimes to the consternation of his patient, if there was the slightest chance of permanent scarring or if the lacera­ tion lines were not perfectly matched. ''The hard, crusty exterior of this physician is only a mask," reminds Nelson, "for a gentle, empathetic, and sincere human being he really is, a person who knowingly would never inflict any pain and who manages his daily life totally dedicated to the practice of medicine. He has only one speed, deliberate . That's because he must pace himself for living to the fullest 24 hours each day.'' It was Dr. Dore who held for the entire trip the critical weight pan for a cervical fracture on a patient who was being transported by ambulance from Water­ ville to Boston, a four-hour journey. Dr. Dare 's arm took four days to regain sensation . Ever the realist, Dr . Dore reflects : "I tell you one interesting thing, being college physician has kept my ego down . Every year we get a whole new group of students and they think I know nothing; this goes on year after year. But in four years, I have got them convinced that I do know a little about medicine. In four years, I get calls from all over the country and the world from graduates with questions about their families . This has been one of the great things to me about this job. " Those telephone calls also give tips on the stock markets, extend holiday greetings, ask for referrals, or seek medical advice in a "long distance medical con­ su ltation," as Dr. Dore would say. When he received a Doctor of Science degree from Colby at commencement exerc ises in 1974, graduating students, parents, faculty, and staff spontaneously extended a standing ovation, a rare occurrence for an honorary degree recipient. Nelson speaks for many when he states: "Doggie Dore is an extremely dedicated physician who always has the best interest of students and the college foremost in his considerations . He has been great to work with and we are going to miss him personally and his medical expertise." Born in Guilford , Dr . Dore prepared for college at Coburn Classical Institute. Graduation from Colby was fol lowed by an M.D. degree from Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia. His internship was at the Cooper and Henry Ford hospitals in New Jersey. Unlike the characters in M. A.S.H., Dr. Dore served in World War II as captain in the U.S . Medical Corps in the European Theatre. He was appointed to the Colby staff in 1946 as assistant to the late Theodore Hardy, Jr., M.D., '28. In 1949 he was made college physician to his alma mater, which honored him with a Colby Brick in 1965.

I fo und the first few mo nths Rhodes Scholar of tutorials a dizzying experience, as my tutor always offered me a generous shot of whiskey at the begin­ ning of the hour. My mastery of Old English sound­ cha nges and inflect ions was for a long time as wobbly as my initial steps from his office. By the end of my A Ye ar at second year, not only was I beginning to understand more about the history of the la nguage, I was rou­ tinely accepting a seco nd glass of scotch .

At other times, I fe lt exhilarated by the variety and impressiveness of the city 's and the university's architecture, the muse­ ums and the co ncerts. Walks on Su nday to the Perch or the Trout, two pubs in the cou ntryside surrounding Ox ford , look ing in Blackwell's bookshop, and doing no th ing in the Wadham College garden were high on my list of "pos it ives." Although Ox ford has grown into a much busier city in recent years, it still has a distinctive atmosphere . I remember complaining to my tutor that I fe lt tired all the time . He attributed that to the environment, add­ ing that he had fe lt tired for his first ten years in Ox ford- the Thames valley climate and the over­ whelming sense of tradition proved too much. I think it is fa ir to say that most America ns in Ox ford experi­ ence a degree of cu lture shock. Adjustment is grad­ ual- I used to try to guess how ma ny years America ns had been in England by the amount of Britishness in their accents. During my two years at Wadham Co llege, I com­ pleted a B.A. in Early English Literature. My topics, includ ing required and optional subjects, were : History of the English Language, from Old to Early Midd le English, and Late Middle English to Modern; Old English Texts; Midd le English Texts; Chaucer, Langland, and Gower; History of the Language in Old French; and two topics in Old French Literature, 1100-1400.Th is list demo nstrates one of the dif­ ferences betwee n American and British undergraduate programs; the latter focuses in scholarly detail on one or two ma in subjects, while the former seeks a wider distribut io n before concentratio n in the major. In this se nse, an Ox ford B.A. roughly parallels an America n M.A. A student at Ox ford receives no grades during the course. In the English Literature B.A., academic sta nd ing depends entirely on a seven- to ten-day examination period in the final year. This system, criticized by many as archaic, certainly works against the procrastinator and creates a general feeling of pa nic in the last term . While a term is in session, a

FIFTY PLUS CLUB REUNION

Fifty Plus Club members made 212 reservations for the club's annual traditional roast beef dinner. It seemed they all came early to the social hour in the lounge adjoining the dining room in Dana Hall. Cecil Goddard presided and read chapel prayers of President Roberts for the invoca­ tion and benediction. William and Linda Cotter came from entertaining the 25th reunion class to have dessert with the Fifty Plus members and their guests. Following his greetings, the presi­ dent spoke about the qualities of Colby faculties and students over the years. A delightful interlude of barber shop singing was presented by a local male quartet. On the roll call of classes, 1913 was the oldest class present. The club adopted a get-well resolution to Professor Alfred Chapman, secretary­ treasurer of the club, who was unable to be present but had sent his greetings and best wishes. The club voted to donate $2,500 to the Alumni Fund. Following the benediction, there was a display of picture postcards of the Old Colby Campus and Wate rville from the collection of Charles N. Pinkham, who entered Colby in the Class of 1929. Carl MacPherson presided at the piano in the lounge for those who stayed on to sing old favorites.

40TH REUNION

Our class just enjoyed a delightful 40th Reunion with 49 people in attendance at our banquet-some of whom were husbands and wives. It was great to see so many who "hadn't changed much of any." It was great to chat, to reminisce and learn about other classmates who didn't come. We had a great gabfest and sing-along Friday night! As usual, we all enioyed the fabulous clam-lobster bake Saturday noon, and a scrumptious banquet Saturday night at the new WatervilleCountry Club. My husband. Hank, showed movies which he took for us at our 25th Reunion! Terrific! Following the banquet, several of us danced at Millett Alumni House to a four-piece band. Sunday morning, several of us took advantage of a brief trip into the blue on a tethered hot air balloon on the library lawn, owned and operated by none other than our own Jane Russell Abbott! What an experience! Don't you wish you had been there? By the way, we missed Marion and Pud

38 30TH REUNION

A super weekend at our thirtieth! We had forty-six people at our reunion banquet. Dr. Koons, Kevin Hill, and their wives were our guests. John Crawford and his wife were here from Saudi Arabia. Red looks 19. Ted Weaver flew in from Ca lifornia to be with us. Colby campus has changed so much that it was an eye-opener for those who hadn't been back for some time. In one of the hardest fought elections in recent times, Mark Mordecai was elected president; Helen Palen Roth, vice-president; Carol Huntington Up­ ton, representative to the alumni council; Charlie Mcintyre and I are going to handle the office of secretary-treasurer. Highlight was probably Saturday night when we all listened from bed to the rock 'n' roll music for the dance of the fifth, tenth, and fifteenth re­ unions. Although we complained, most of us wished that we could have been there. Bernie Laliberte did a terrific job for those who wanted to play tennis, as many of us did. We would like to thank Jeff Hermanson '81 who was our host for the weekend. Jeff did many nice things for us. One more little thing-Walt Russell and Frank Cavel thought it was great that Bob Staples sent his check in to buy them drinks ....See you at the 35th! Send some class news to me.
