A Test of Loyalty BY HERBERT MAYHEW LORD, LLD., '84 Director of the: Bureau of the Budget of the Unired Scares Chairman Colby Development F11nd Committee Colby wants something. It is always wanting something. We can't be too thankful for that. An institution is like a person. When there is no longer a need, when nothing more is wanted, it is time to call the embalmer. That is not the plight of Colby at this time. The college that mothered us, that indorsed us, that followed us out into life with its benediction wants $500,000 for a new gymnasium. The writer entered Colby in 1880. The gymnasium was inadequate then. Colby has the same gymnasium now. It is no more adequate now. The need and demand, however, for suitable athletic facilities have increased fourfold. It wou!d be absurd to attempt to show in this day of progress the need and advantages of electric lights as against candles for lighting purposes. It must seem just as ab­ surd to explain the need of a new gymnasium to replace the dimin­ utive and antique structure which has served so faithfully during the years. We may shed a tear over its displacement, but a col­ lege gymnasium today should have something besides antiquity and sentiment to recommend it. The opening of the intensive Development Fund Campaign affords opportunity to attest our loyalty to the college. It is call to the colors. Many of us need such an opportunity. Many of us need such a call to waken afresh our loyalty to the institution to which we always refer with affection, and to which we have al­ ways been able to point with pride. In this campaign we hope to accomplish something more than raise $500,000. We hope and expect through its appeal to develop a spirit of devotion to the college and its interests that will weld all of Colby's sons and daughters into a phalanx of loyal and active supporters. The appeal of this campaign is not to a select few. It calls to every Colby graduate, every Colby undergraduate, and every Colby friend-to all who are acquainted with its history, its record and its potentiality for good. An Army captain, who was very popular with his company, was brought before a court-martial, charged with a mi.litary of­ fense. The officer detailed to defend the captain was suddenly called away. A junior lieutenant was detailed at short notice to prepare the defense. He had had no opportunity to study the case. Looking about for evidence that might possibly assist the ' defense he sent for the first sergeant of the accused· captain's com­ pany. The defense counsel asked the sergeant to ascertain if any of the members of the company knew anything about the charges. If any of them had information that would help the captain the sergeant was ordered to bring them to the court. Shortly there­ after the solemn deliberations of the court were disturbed by the tramp of marching feet. Then the sergeant appeared, saluted the I 230 ,---- court, and announced to the defense counsel that the entire com­ pany had reported as witnesses. "What can they testify to?" queried the surprised counsel. "Anything the captain wishes, sir," was the prompt reply. There were no slackers in loyalty to the captain in that organiz­ ation. In this campaign there must be no slackers. We must present a united front. We have 4,000 graduates, and 630 undergradu­ ates. The sum of these two should measure the number of contri­ butions from that source. Besides these we have many friends and well-wishers whom we must inspire by our loyal response to jojn the ranks of builders
