Part of being a fresh man is possess­ing the ability to assume an easy (an d momentary) look of assurance. But doubts are always there, ready to creep back. In capturing the two poles of the situation, photographer James Katz (a ju n ior from Brockton, Massa­ch usetts) may also have implied that the transitory stage exists in a possi­bility that the (tnger is shak ing, just slightly.

\VHEN THI JOURNAL. B£GAN, FIFTY-FIVE YEARS

ago, Editor Chari� hipman wrote in his first editorial: .. THE COLBY ALUMNUS is published for the expres purpose of bringing the great body of Colby alumni into closer and more sympa­thetic touch with the college ... it is imperative that Colby should bind its graduate body by the strongest bonds." Certainly there is no doubt that this raison d'etre is wholly valid today.

But a second factor is implicit in this state­ment. The graduate of today, affected by his times, holds values varying in some degree from those of the graduate of 1955. And so it goes on back, in generations of a sort, a 'eritable history of the first half century's outlooks on life. If alumni, then, could be brought into close con­tact with each other, partly through the pages of THE ALUMNUS, the "sympathetic touch" with the college would be, by definition, partially achieved.

As for communicating what goes on at Colby, THE ALU M NUS' approach might be categorized: the ideas of teachers, the experience of students, and the use of both by the college itself. The journal's experience is that this format does get across and does tend to meld into a valid com­posite reflection of Colby. Whether or not this works each issue, and on an individual basis, is another matter. But there is always space for \'OX ALUMNI.

GIVEN THE EXISTENCE OF A POTENTIALLY WISE

voice, how do you make sure it is heard? This puzzlement of commW1ication affects every or­ganization, certainly the college or university. The institution of higher learning, with its di­verse and differently directioned groups - facul­ty, students, alumni, administration - has trouble enough creating lines of communication within each group, let alone between them. Yet it is the conviction of colleges - it is called academic freedom - that everyone has his story to tell.

lumni find t�emselves in an especially equiv<>­cal position. They are remo ed from the pot proper, they are off campus. Their suggestions, coming from afar, are further tempered by the feeling they ought not dictate or control. Realiz­ing, naggingly, that the college must remain youthful and experiment, alumni still feel be­holden to point a right road to an errant child.

· This situation is accented by the :Sharp role re\1ersal that occurs on that ritaa� day in June. Armed with their degree of acceptance, students shift. After holding (quite vocally) for four years that colleges act too much like parents, as alumni they become " parental " themselves, and are immediately somewhat baffled, in an­other way, by what they've been resist�ng all along. A difference of attitude e olves: where students try to impose, alumni propose.

Now the alumni organization study report published in this issue (pages 15-22) does not solve the puzzle of the wise voice. But contained in i are good suggestions as to how effective cor,nmunications can be set up. Implicit in this report is the belief that idea flow between an organization's parts can only lead to a clearer under tanding of attitudes and beliefs all around. Or, in another phrase: a good reality check derives from the knowledge that everyone must have something of va1ue to say.

WE TY YEAR AGO, I 1945, THE "THO AND YEAR REICH" \\'E 'T DOW1 TO FLAMING DEFEAT

after twelve ears of tenuous existence. During part of that ear Berlin wa bombed continu­ously, day after day, night after night. I recall new paper headline that read:· 1 000 BOMBERS OVER BERLI1 LA T IGHT. Human being cram­bled for hole in the ground a concu ions rocked the city, building collap ed into rubble two and three toreys high, and fire crounged oYer the rubbi h, completing the havoc.

In February of thi ear we took part in the anni' er ary commemoration of the bombing of the on e beautiful city of Dre den. Twent years ago "The Venice of the North" melted in writh­ing agon as fifty- ix minute of Allied aturation bombing turned the cit into a raging inferno.

Dre den i often singled out for attention because it was a cultural center rather than a cen­ter of military or indu trial ignificance, because it ' as crowded with refugees, because of the brevit' of the attack compared to the extent of the uffering, and becau e it wa bombed too late to make ignificant contribution to the immi-

For the fir t time ince the Napoleonic period enemy armie fought on German oil. The we t­ern front collap ed under the impact of the we t­ern allied armie as Patton's and Hodge' ar­moured column thundered over the Rhine and through the we tern countryside, while German plane and tank faltered for lack of the fuel that could no longer be upplied from the Ruhr and Ea t Sile ia. For month the Ru ian had been adYancing from the ea t. In April the warmed over the debri -littered street of Berlin, losing 600,000 men in the battle against a fanatic last­ditch defen e b chool boy and retired men thrown in by Hitler at the end.

and the Third Reich. To be ure, the vi ible 3

wound are largely healed, more o in \Ve t Ger­many than in Ea L Gem1any. One see relatiYely few " eYerely injured" in the places re�erYed for them in buses and su bwa) s, the bridges ha Ye been mostly rebuilt; and the cities reYeal little evi­dence of the former bombings. The economy i thri,·ing-there is no unemployment-and non­German worker come to Gennany to work in the bu y factories. \\'estern European , Yie"·ing their own economies, wonder who lost the war. But the real scars are deeper, and will probably remain even after the present generation-that liYed through the war-has gone. For Germans must continue to come to terms with Hitler, with the concentration camps, with the damage they inflicted on other countries and other coun­tries upon them, not in isolation but in the con­text of a Europe torn about by the ho tility of the powers that conquered Germany_ Those powers conquered their mutual distrust long enough to conquer Hitler, but not long enough to carry through a unified German reconstruc­tion. The fragmentation of Germany began, without being intended, with the setting up of Polish and Russian "administrative area " for portions of what had been easten1 Germany, and with Russian and \l\Testern "occupation areas"­all on a provisional basis. But the provisoria have hardened into entrenched systems, the dif­ferent sides have assimilated the cold war slo­gans of their respective conquerors, the bitter emotions have deepened, and the channels of East-West-communication have become con­stricted. The building of the Berlin wall four years ago symbolized, made dramatically visible, and rigidified the split that had been dug ever deeper since i945. To this split various meas­ures and countermea ures have made their con­tribution: the compulsory formation of the So­cialist Unity Party in the East-out of the Com­munist and the Social Democratic Partie , the differential reparations treatment, the varying industrial-economic reorganization, the separate currency reforms, and the incorporation of the German fragments into the conflicting military alliances of ATO and the \!\Tarsaw Pact. Today

the two Gem1an governments-the Bundesrepub­lik and the Deutsche Demokratische Republik­

glare balefully at each other, like estranged

brothers, hurl charges and countercharges, and

in large mea ure will not peak to one another.

The West German government in Bonn claims

that there i one and only one legitimate Ger­

man state-it elf. It alone ha the right to speak

for all Germans everywhere, to advance claims

Robert E. Reuman, as­sociate professor of phil­oso/Jh)', is on a two-year leave of absence and is �crvina as Quaker ln ter­nat ional Affairs Repre-1e11tntive in Berlin.

to t errit r; that belonged to the Third Reich in i937, and to pre s for the reunification of tho e territories on term et by Bonn for all Germans. Thi policy, of cour e, offends and frightens both Poland and the oviet Union, who regard the pre ent boundaries of Poland a permanent. It ha the further consequence that the pre ent government of East Germany mu t be viewed as illegitimate; Bonn can have no dealing with thi apparatus and any third country that recog­nizes the DOR mu t be an enemy of Bonn. This charge is elaborated with a ertions that the East German government i a puppet of Mo cow, that it is an unpopular dictatorship acceptable to not more than ten percent of the Germans in the area, that it remain in power through the pres­ence of Ea t German Volhspolizei and Ru ian troop , that it would be un eated if free elections were ever permitted, and that it remains the chief obstacle to German reunification. This at­titude - clearly ex pres ive of the cold-war and in which there are trong elements of anti-com­munism (remini cent of i933) - i carried out by the Bundesrepublik through the vigorous sup­port, on the or1e ide, of NATO obligation , and, on the other, by political and economic attempts to isolate and put pre sure on the East German government. Implementation of this hard-line policy is po sible only ·with political pres ure, economic anction , and ultimately with military weapons. But Bonn has sworn not to use mili­tary force, and so far the political and economic pressures have had only the effect of further an­tagonizing Ea tern governments and deepening the German division.

ON THE OTHER SIDE, THE EAST GERMA GOVERN­MENT-CLEARLY LES POPULA R WIT H ITS PEO­

ple-is eager for recognition as a sovereign gov­ernment, and has followed a more ambiguous

"other-Germany" policy. Repre entatiYes of this government claim that they, as communists, car­ried on the major re istance to Hitler and paid almost exclusively for the German war guilt (in the form of reparations to Ru sia-the country which lost the most in life and property). The DDR tate that they alone carried out the anti­fascist clau es of the Pot dam Agreement by de­Nazif ·ing German leadership, re tructuring Ger­man economy so that large German trusts and powerful industriali ts would not again control foreign policy, and that they are the first Ger­man Late to dedicate it elf to peace and friend-hip. They charge Bonn ·with being a haYen for

ex- azi , with rebuilding the indu trial com­plexe that led to the \\rorld \\Tar, and with de­manding territories that ·were lost through Hit­ler-German aggres ion. Just as Bonn claims the East German i Nazi-like in being a dictatorial stale, so Ea t German claims that Bonn is fas­ci tic in economic organization and in haYing tenitorial ambitions that could only be sati fie<l with military mea ure .

THIS T\ ENTIETH ANJ'\IVER ARY YEAR HAS PROVID­ED F RTHER AMMUNITION IN THAT THE TWEN­

ty-year tatute of limitations for the prosecution of war criminals came up for discussion in \\Test Germany-where there wa obvious reluctance to maimain this unpopular program with it at­tendant war memorie . The DDR claims that they ha' e done the job on their side and that there can be no tatute of limitations for sud1 crimes. During i965 Ea t Germany has been propagand­i Lically pounding Bonn for being soft in the treatment of war criminals, for employing ex­N azi in the general taff, and for creating a po­tential dictator hip and igniting war fe er with the attempt to pa the "emergency law ". They charge the Bundesrepublih with pushing for an irmer-German border lined with atomic bombs, as well as for trying to get a finger on the nuclear weapon trigger via ATO and MLF. l\!Iost of these d1arge are well calculated to irritate the Bonn goyernment, which they in fact do.

On the other hand the East German goven1-ment claims that societies with different social systems must learn to co-exist, that they are eager for a re-united Germany-peaceful and

peacefully achieYecl. To thi end they propose negotiations between the nrn German govern­ments, remoYal of all occu p) i ng force from both Germanies, recognition of pre ent boundarie as final, and "·ithdrawal of both Ea t and \\Te t Ger­many from_ their re pectiYe milirary alliances as well a the military neutralization of the whole area. There are man) laudable element in the e propo al , but one may be ceptical a to whether reunification is really intended, or only the rec­ognition of the pre ent Ea t German goYernment. In any case negotiation on equal terms is till un­acceptable to Bonn. Furthermore it is dubious if Bonn would be willing, or that \\'ashington ·would be willing for them, to exchange the tough NATO role for that of the compromi ing, demilitarized country Yi ualized by the Ea tern proposals. Thu the impasse continues, and emo­tion run deep and bitter, while familie remain di,·ided and reftwee are shot at the \\•all. It is true that the German di,·ision, giYen these atti­tudes, is a threat to "·orld peace; but it i an open que tion whether the cau e of peace can best be sened by a change in the German divi­sion or by a change in German attitude .

BUT WHAT I:>: THE WORLD CA� o::--:E LIKE YOU-A PRIVATE, A�lERlCAl'\ CITIZEX-DO I:'.\1 THI ITUA­

tion? Isn't it prepo terous to try to play ome constructive role faced with such a degree of political complexity? Indeed, is it not eYen fool­i h and dangerou for an indiYidual to run around the feet of these angry giants? Of course. It is perfectly ob ious that decisions ·whid1 will ub tantially affect the German situation will be

deci ion made by and acted upon by the Yariou po"·er group involYed in the ituation and on both German sides, a well a in remoter capitals. Chief amongst the e are political partie , go,·­ernment office holder , and economic group , with some further influence exerted by academic, journalistic, and religious groups and indiYidu­als. Nevertheless, it is equally true that these in olved element , representing various kind of pmver intere t a well a conflicting value , have worked them elve into a virtual talemate from whid1 they find it difficult to extricate them-eh·e . The Quaker International Affair Rep­

resentative (QIAR) i not another power repre­sentative added to the pm er jumble; indeed his very powerle ness is an asset which explain in part his relevance and which opens many doors on both side that might otherwi e remain do ed. Then, too, being an American in the German ituation offer a kind of ph sical and p cha- 5

6

logical mobility that would be permitted LO le"· Germ.ans, and only to a degree to other nationab.

But it would be wrong in three respects to \'iew the QIAR as simply a olitary indi\'iclu;tl. In the first place, he is one of mnll)' incliYicluals and organi7ations that likewise are ·eeking continu­ously to make contributions to the peaceful re o­lution o[ German tensions. 1 h;we been enorm­ously heartened to find how large a group this is (especially among Germans), how deeply com-

mitted they are, how patiently persi�tent, how sensiti,·e they can be Lo the manifold perspec­ti"es, and how talented they often are. Secondly, being a Qual<er represenlati\'e in Germany car­ries an awe ome re ponsibility in the way it opens friendly reception. In all pan· of Germany the name "Quaker" has enormou pre tige, for it i so trongly identified with the feeding and re­habilitation programs after both world wars, as well as with human compas ion and with con­structiYe efforts to seek the increa e in under-

tancling which may promote the peaceful re o­lution of conflict. l\Iany are the te timonial to the Quakers 1 haYe heard from communi t and from anti-communist alike. Thirdly, the diYi­sion of Germany are not only divi ions between indi\'idual and groups, they are also division within individuals. In eYen the most hardened pani an, I am convinced, there remain the capacity to hear the note of appeal in the trid­ent claim from the other side, to learn to readju t pa t method that have been destructive and un­fruitful, and to feel the tug of mutual reconcili­atory olutions. There is, in short, "that of God in e\'ery man" without which the hopes for re­conciliation would be empty indeed.

A QIAR cannot resolve national conflicts, and it is presumptuous of him to propose grandio e schemes for the settlement of di pu tes. However, in many different ways he can facilitate the pro­cess of communication between those who must finally make the deci ions, so that methods of mutually resolving disagreements are more, ra­ther than le , available. Sometimes the condi­tion for direct and fruitful confrontation of political figures from divergent ystems can be generated. F0r example the Quaker Conference

for Diplomats in Europe and A ia bring together

middle-le\'el foreign serYice people under condi­tions where they can pri\'ately ancl relaxedly share opinions, sound out their clifierences, and explore new approache .

IN GERi\IANY EVEN Till. IS NOT POS IBLE AT THE

!Oi\lENT, BUT TWO OTHER APPROACHES ARE.

Fir�t, one can eek Lo encourage direct dialogue between non-politician who are not con trained by tight considerations of political protocol, but who al the ame time might now or later be able lo influence political policy. A conference of Ea�L ancl \\'est German inLellectuals, a eminar for European peace re!>earchers, a meeting for ?\[arxi t-Chri tian dialogue, are example of such approache�. Limits to such pos ibilitie are et only by the limits of imagination, dexterity in O\'ercoming ob tacles, and patience in re ponse LO fru�tration .

Secondly, in Lhe German situation where di­rect political dialogue i · only infrequently po -

ible, a QI R can act a a "third man" between the two sides, trying to bridge the communica­Lion gap, seeking to ommunicaLe, now in the East, now in the \Vest, the hope , the fear , the need and the problem a een by the ab ent dialogue partner. One cannot hope, and >vould not want, to "con\'ert" the conver ational part­ner in thi way; but it i fair to hope that if uf­ficient tact, information and tn1 t can be mu<;­tered the conYersational partner will be able to hape hi attiwdes and formulate his deci ion

with greater rationality and comprehensivene s ,-is-<\-vi the other ide than would otherwi e be po ible. \\'ithin a cooperating frame of partie or institutions it i the rub and wear of expre eel different intere ts that allow mutually shaped policies to ari e which will somewhat take into account the intere t of all repre ented partie . \Vhile indirect Ea t-\Ve t dialogue cannot achieve this accommodation of intere ts, it can at least help to remove the frequently enormou ignorance and distru t generated by the total ab ence of contact. This hope would be totally naiYe, and this effort would be completely ll1-ated, if it were not for the fact that individual can be found on both side who are not content

with the tired cliches and unfruitful methods of confrontation, and who eek new and more hope­ful ways of coming to grip with the problems that be et them. Herein lie the hope: that in­\'Olved individual , tired of aggre ive logans and stalemated unilateral pre ures, can find and expand the pos ibilities for mutually and peace­fully resolving their dispute • •

Bixler Scholars receive awards, according to their financial needs, up to the full cost of at­tending college. To be chosen is considered one of the most coveted honors bestowed at the college. Only top-ranking students who have demonstrated fulfillment of outstanding scholar­ly ability are selected.

" The bequest from Mrs. Bixler is a magnifi­cent contribution to the resources of Colby and to the young men and women served by the college," Pre ident Strider aid. " In allocating the entire proceeds to the Bixler Scholars pro­gram, the board of trustee has paid a lasting tribute to a distinguished president whose crea­tivity and leader hip moved Colby to its May-

flower Hill campus and gave it a new academic Yitality.

" It was during Dr. Bixler's presidency that the college took ignificant teps lO develop a long­range plan for scholar hip endowment. We are proud to designate this substantial gift for this purpo e, and we are especially pleased that its income will aid students who are chosen for the program which carries the Bixler name."

Convocations honoring Julius Seelye Bixler Scholars and the Charles A. Dana Scholars were held this fall. Mr. Dana was present for the lat­ter, as were trustees of the Dana Foundation, and he presented certificates to the twenty cholarship reci pi en ts.

Gifts / Grants / Awards From the Gulf Oil Corporation, a cash grant for unrestricted u e, one of 584 awarded nationally totalling 600,000.

From Aetna Life and Casualty, a grant provided under the incentive program which matches em­ployee's gifts to educational in titutions.

From the Sun Oil Company, property and a building on College A venue, formerly a part of the old campus, contents of the building to be sold to provide funds for the local retarded children's association, and the land cleaned and leveled.

Freshmen Freshman Week means moving in, new acquaint­ances, and functions designed to introduce first­year students to the college. 1969ers, above, in a corridor of newly-dedicated Charles A. Dana Hall, and below right, at the annual Activities Fair, demonstrate two prevalent attitudes: studied calm and not-so-studied excitement. The week's festivities include a reception for all freshmen, who have a chance to meet President Strider (below).

Schuss Further expansion is underway at the college ki area. Supplementing the fir t slope are a begin­ner's area and a new expert trail, which snakes through the woods down Pung Hill.

The T-Bar lift is ready for its 1 ,200-passenger­an-hour labors thi winter and the thi rty-two meter jump, with earthworks, is et for inter-col­legiate competition. An early season fall of snow in October whetted skiers' appetites early, and all are a king for a good white cover.

Colby can always fall back on the snowmaking machinery, if the winter i a open as those of the past two years. Superintendent of buildings and grounds George Whalon is sure that the snow crew's ability to fabricate the white stuff has not

Stranger English sculp tor Ly n n Chadwick's TRANGER m, a gift of ]ere A b b ott of Dexter, Maine, n ow graces the n o rthwest s ide of the B ix ler A rt and Music Cen ter. ln the n otes below, excerpted from a paper by ANITA LOOl\US '65, an excelle n t a n a lysis of the bro nze sculp­ture is give n .

Lynn Chadwick ha achieved a remarkable bal­ance between the innate heavine s and durability of the material and vitality of the form and ex­pression. . . One has a tendency to read the figure from its core centered over the leg out­ward to its extremitie .

The form is compact and imple, yet, because of the way he empha izes the transition between core and exten ion, he manages to put aero s the feeling of freedom - a sense of shoving against gravity. His texture are rough, his lines ener­getic and harp, which makes the viewer sense the force and dynami m of the figure.

While the figure is not any recognizable species of bird or animal, it nonetheless makes us feel its kinship with an animal form of some kind . . . It would be oppre ed if enclosed by four walls and a ceiling. Its surfaces catch light on the many variations of planes and the changing light of the sun is ideal to bring out the ubtle varia­tions presented.

We can only add that STRANGER m has a n o ther, more m11stical appeal. On days of exa m i n a t ions, the base has been covered with offerings - coins and such -a n d more than one garlan d has been draped over the body of the sculpture.

THE AL UMNI CO UNCIL'S

Alumni Organization Study

Thi special ection contains the Alumni Organiza­tion rndy Report submitted to the Alumni Council at its Commencement meeting on J une 4, 1965 by t he Alumni Relations Commit tee of the Council.

Because many of Colby' alumni contributed to the results of this study by responding to t he alumni ques­tionnaire over a year ago, t he Council felt that i t would be worthwhile to inform t h e alumni o f t he

tudy findings and t�e recommendations made by t he tudy commit tee to guide t he Council in it future ac­

ti\•itie . J t wa al o con idered e ential t hat the Alum­ni Council solicit t he reaction of the alumni to this report prior to implementing the variou recommenda­tions made by the tudy committee.

Appendices mentioned in thi report are on file in t he alumni office. Plea e note t hat the recommenda­tions made in this report ha e n o t been put into effect by ' irtue of the Council's acceptance of t he report. Each recommendation will have to be re iewed in de­tail by the Council and a pecific plan of action de­veloped for implementation prior to final approval by the Council. This provi ion i made in the motion that was pas ed at the June 4 meeting : VOTED that the Alumni Organization Stud Report prepared by the Alumni Relation Committee, a printed, be ac­cepted by t he Alumni Council of Colby College with the unders tanding t hat the acceptance of this report doe not nece arily commit t he Council to endor ing or implementing all t he recommendation contained therein, ina much a each recommendation i pro­po ecl a guidance for the future activities of t he Council and must be acted upon in detail at such time in the fuLUre a i deemed appropriate by the Council or by the Committees of the Council charged wit h the respon ibility for implementing t he recom­mendation .

Therefore, to help the Council in its deliberation of the tud and to enable it to act in a more mean­ingful way in puuing t he study recommendations into effect, we would appreciate hearing about your reac­llons to the study report. Plea e mail your comments to: Carl R. V\'righ t, chairman of the Alumni Council; Clifford A. Bean, chairman of the Alumni Relations Committee which conducted t he study; or to Ellswort h \\.' . .Mille t t i n the alumni office.

CLIFFORD A. BEA '51

t summary Between October 1963, and J une 1965, the Alumni Relations Commit tee of the Alumni Council con<lucte<l a tudy of all phases of Colby' s alumni activities to determine if any changes in organization or functions are required to satisfy the changing needs and inter­ests of t he current alumni body.

The tudy traced the his tory of Colby's alumni activi­ties, compared Colby's alumni organization with t hose of other colleges throughout the United States, sur­veyed the attitudes and intere ts of all Colby alumni, and made a special analysis of alumni communica­tions at Colby and at other leading colleges _in t he countr .

The tudy concluded t hat Colby's alumni relations are generally good but t hat many improvements must be made to streamline the organization, to make t he Alumni Council more representative of t he entire alumni body and to improve t he overall communi­cations between the college and alumni. A a re ult , twenty-five pecific recommendations are made by the study commit tee which tend to:

1. Strengthen and activate t he alumni clas or­ganization;

2. Improve the organization and operation of the Alumni Council;

3. Improve rhe communications between t he college and the alumni as well a among alumni;

4 . Integrate younger alumni and new graduates more readily into alumni affair ;

5. Enhance t he activities of regional alumni clubs; and

6. Generally make alumni activities in t he Waterville area and on t he Colby campus more at tracti e to all alumni.

u background, purpose & organization

With the passage of time, t he changing needs, inter­est , and geographic distribution of college alumni create the requirement for continuous review of alum­ni organizations to be sure t hat the activities and

structure of t hese organizat ions are consistent w i th t h e changing characterist ics of the alumni body. I n recogn i t ion o f t h i s si t u a t ion, t h e Col by College Alum­n i Counci l at i ts regular Homecoming meeting in N ovember of 1 963 passed the fol lowing resolu t i on which i n i t i ated the s tudy described in t his repor t :

"VOTED that the Alu mn i Cou nc il o f Colby College recogn izin g ( • ) the growt h a n d advan c ement of t he c ollege in faculty, curric u lu m, a n d alu mn i, (2) c ollege accepta n c e of the increasin g share of its educational respon sibil ities, (3) the fact that the c ollege is what its a lu mn i desire it to be, (4) that con stant reappraisa l a n d re-evalu ation are the companion s of change, n ot only in the curric u lu m an d a dmin istration, bu t also re pec tin g duties an d respon sibilities of alumni, em­power the Alu mn i Relation s Committee to c on duct an A lu mn i Orga n iz ation Study. Said Committee to study t he al u mn i an d cla ss orga n izations, their duties an d respon sibilities (a) t o the alumn i, ( b) t o the cla sses, (c) to the c ollege a dmin istration, (cl) to the tru st ees, an d to make spec ific recommen da tion s rela­tive thereto. The Committee, rec ogn izing the n eed for broad in vestigation, wil l study the alu mn i organ iza­tions. This Committee shall report back with its study a n d recommen dation s for vote of the A lu mn i Council n o later than N ovember 1 , 1 964 . "

T h e above motion w a s further amended a t t h e Augu t ( 1 964) A l u m n i Cou ncil meeti ng, extending the plan­

ned completion date from November 1 , 1 964, to the regular Commencement meet i ng i n J une of 1 965, to permi t the orderly i n tegration of the large volumes of d a t a col lected in the course of the study and to prepare a comprehensive final report. Two other sign i ficant mi lestones associated with the st udy were : ( 1 ) the submission of prel iminary results of the alum-

n i survey at the 1 964 Homecomi ng meet ing of the Alumni Cou ncil and (2) the submission of a draft of t he final study report to t he ent ire Cou ncil at t he Feb­ruary ( 1 965) Alumni Counci l meeti ng.

I n order to examine all aspects of a lumni organiza­tion, the study was d i vided i n to four major sections :

1 . The h istory of Colby's a lumni organi zation, to explore the past developmen t of Colby's a lumni act i v i t i es and bet ter u n derstand the derivat ion of the present structure.

2 . A survey of the alumni organiza t ions of other col leges t h roughou t t he coun try, to make a comparison a n d to develop suggest ions for possible changes in Colby's a lumni organiza­t ion structure.

3 . An analysis of Colby's a lumni communica­tions media, to measure their effectiveness, to evaluate them i n comparison w i t h the com­m u nication used by other col leges, and to de­termine what i n forma tion is needed and de­s ired by Colby a l u m n i .

4. A mai l q uestionnaire urvey of Colby A lum­ni, to evaluate present alumni relat ions, com­munica t ion med i a and to sol ic i t ideas, opin­ions, a t t i tu d es, and uggestion concern i ng Colby alumni activi t i es.

The s t udy wa carried ou t by t he Alumni Rela t ion Commi t tee of the Alumni Council . The Comm i t tee was a ugmen ted by other vol unt eers from the Alumni Cou ncil who expre sed t heir desires to participate in this importan t and major u ndertaking. A l l of t he

t ucly part icipants were assigned to one or more of the phases described above. Whatever success is achieved by this effort can on ly be a t tribu ted to the wil l i ngness and valuable contribut ions made by i ts n umerous participan ts.

uz history of colby's alumni organization

A more complete report on thi phase of the Study is con tai ned in APPENDIX A of this report. I n essence, i t was learned from t h i s phase that t h e Colby alumni organization has grown i n stature, importance, and strength from its very modest begi n n ings i n 1 847 . A n excel len t documen tat ion of Col by's a l u m n i h istory is con tai ned i n Dean Ernest M arriner's book, THE HIS­TORY OF COLBY COLLEGE. Throughou t the 1 1 7 years of i ts ex istence, the Colby Alumni Association has u nder­gone periodic reviews-al bei t most of these were q u i te i n formal-bu t al l were designed to make the organ­i za t ion more re ponsive to the needs of the alumni at the t i me the reviews were conducted. I t is t herefore concluded t h a t this curren t review is merely a nother step in the further developmen t and improvement of Colby's a lumni relat ions.

iv survey of the alumni organiza-tions of other colleges

A complete statistical tabulation on this phase of the sLudy, as well as a sample of the q�estionnaire u t�l ized, is contained in APPENDIX B of this report. This sec­tion of the report contains the more sign ificant con­clu ions developed as a resu l t of analysis of this data.

Of 75 q uestionnaires mailed to other colleges, 48 use­able replies were received, represen ting an excellent cross section of college alumni organizations through­out the country. Fourteen replies were received from colleges with alumni populations of between 5,000

and 10,000; 12 replies from colleges with populations of between 10,000 and 1 5,000; 5 replies received from colleges with alumni populations of between 15,000

and 20,000; and 1 7 replies received from colleges with alumni populations greater than 20,000. Of the above, 8 replies were received from all male colleges; g re­plies from all female colleges; and the balance were from coeducational colleges. A considerable amoun t of supplementary pri nted material w a s also received from other colleges during the course of the survey and found to be most useful.

In this survey i t was determi ed. that reunions, cul­tural event , and athletic events were the pri ncipal drawing cards in bringing alumni back to the college campus. Reunions seem to dominate in smaller col­leges while athletics are the leadi ng attraction in larger colleges. In nearly all cases, alumni office staffs arrange campus alumni events.

In terms of alumni office staff size, the smaller and medium ized colleges have staffs consist ing of 1 to 2

administrative people and 1 to 5 clerical people, while larger colleges with alumni popula tions of more than 20,000 have administrative staffs of 3 to 6 people and clerical assistance of 6 to 1 o people. The budgets of Alumni Offices increase in proportion to the size of the alumni population and Colby' alumni budget appears to be general ly smaller than other schools of it size. In most cases alumni office budgets are ob­tained from college admin istrat ion budgets. However, larger schools receive addi tional financial assistance from ·uch sources as alumni con tributions, dues, etc.

In smaller and medium sized colleges the alumni staff enjoy college administrative status i n more than one halt of the cases, although in larger schools the alumni officers have fewer administrative responsibil ities. In nearly all cases the alumni secretary or alumni direc­tor is an alumnus or alumna of the college. The ac­tivities of other alumni officers are comparable to those of Colby's alumni office. Responsibili ties in order of mention are:

1 . Record keeping. 2. Alumni magazine publication . 3. Alumni club meetings. 4. Secretary of alumni meetings. 5. Fund raising. 6. Newsletters.

7 . Arranging for alumni speakers and alumni re­u nions.

I n the election of college trustees, the most popular method is a combi nat ion of election by the alumni at large and election by the Board of Tru.stees. All col­leges ha e trustees who are alumn i ; however, the membership of alumni varies q u i te widely. In the case of Princeton, 34 of i ts trustees are alumni of the University. In most cases alumni commu nicate official­ly to the board of trustees via their alumni council and their elected alumni trustees.

Wi th regard to alumni cou ncils, virtu ally all colleges (43 out of 48) have such an organ izat ion and most (34) feel that their present consti tution accurately re­

flects their current method of operation. Most of the smaller schools have council organizations with less than 25 member whereas 5 colleges in Colby's size category ha e council organizat ions varying in size from 50 to 1 50 member .

The most dominant pattern of alumni council elec­tions con i ts of nomination by the council and elec­tion by alumni clas e or by the alumni body at large. In colleges similar in ize to Colby, 5 out of 1 2 have alumni club representation on the council and class represen tation. 38 of the 48 responding colleges u til ize working committees of thei r alumni councils and these committees are generally concerned with the same matters a the Colby Alumni Council commi t­tees.

With regard to class organiza tions, 42 out of 48 re-ponding college u ti lize class agents with 30 of these

ha i ng between 1 and 3 agents per class. It i i n terest­i ng to note that of 1 4 responding colleges of Colby's size, 2 have more than 1 5 agents per class. There is generally no geographic basis for the selection of class agents and most are selected by a combination of the class, i ts class officer , and the alumni office. In a ma­jori ty of the colleges, class agents serve for i ndefini te term of office.

It is important to note that 35 out of 48 colleges have permanent alumni class officers who play an active role i n t he class organ izat ion. They are generally elected a t Commencement and re-elected a t the five and ten year reunion meetings.

The smaller college provide financial support to class activi ties (newsletter , etc.) from the college budget, 1 7

whereas the medi um to large colleges receive financial su pport for thei r acti ,.i t i es through class dues. 32 out of 4 8 colleges have 25-year class gi ft programs which are developed around regular five-year reunion meet­i ngs.

All but one of the wrveyed colleges have regional alumni clubs and it is interest ing to note that Pri nce­ton has 126. The number of regional clubs seems to increase in proport ion to the s i ze of the alumni popu­lat ion and most receive their financial su pport from dues, from pay-as-you-go func t i ons, or from a com­binat ion of the two. i\ l ost alumni clubs are supported by a minori ty (less than 25%) of the alumni popula­t i on in the specific area of the club. The most popular clu b funct ions a ppear to be di nner meetings, cock t a i l part i es, concerts, a n d recept ions for new a n d prospec­t i ve st udents. In all cases alumni clu b officer are elected by local ballot and serve for a period of one year in the case of the larger colleges and for a period of two years in the case of smaller colleges. Most alum­ni club officers can be reelected for a second or third term.

v colby alumni survey As pointed o u t in si::cnoN 11 above, the pu rpose of thi phase of the t udy was to evaluate Colby's present alumni rela t ions and i ts alumni communicat ion as well as to solici t idea , opinions, a t t i t udes, and sug­gest ions from Colby alumni concerning desirable activi ­t i es and organiza t i on changes. To accomplish this ob­j ec t i e a det a i led quest i onna i re was prepared, a sample of which is con ta i ned in APPEDIX c to this report. The summary results of this que t ionna i re are also con­t a i ned in A P P E N D I X c.

Following the ini t i al design of the quest ionnai re, sample versions were pretested among members of the

1 8 Alumni Rela t i on Comm i t tee, necessary changes were

made, and the final que t i onna i re was developed and mailed to all Colby alumni. Th is ma iling took place in early J u ne of 1964 and was carried out separately l rom the mailing ol the regular alumni ballot to avoid any con fusion among alumni concerning the ques­t i onna i re a nd to st imula t e a separate response. Each quest ionna i re was accompanied by a self-addressed stamped envelope to encou rage as many replies as pos­sible and lo encourage anonymous response where appropria te. Public i ty support of the questionna i re consi ted of an art icle in the pring (1964) edi t ion of T H E COLBY A L U M N describing the su rvey in general and the role of the quest ionna i re in particular. An­nouncements were al o made at all regional alumni clu b meetings to encou rage a large a re pon e a pos­si ble.

Of the more than 8,ooo que t ionnai res mailed to Colby alumni, 1,048 replie were received as were many ad­d i t i onal let ter ampli fying the views expres ed i n the quest ionna i re. Th is response, repre ent ing between 10% and 1 2 % of all Colby alumni for such a complex, t i me-consuming quest ionna i re, i considered to be ex­cellent and indica tes the ext remely high level , of inter­est among Colby alumni in this mat ter and bodes well for Colby' alumni rela t i on in the f u t u re.

The replies to thi quest ionna i re were tabulated d u r­ing the ummer and fall of 1964 by a working group of the Alumni Rela c ion Comm i t tee and a master tally sheet was prepared which i not included w i th thi final report bu t i available for in pection a t Colby's alumni office. The results of thi u rvey were pre-ented to che Alumni Council October 24, 1964, at

the regular H omecoming meeting and were di trib­u ted with the minutes of that meeting to the ent i re Council for fu rther con idera t ion.

Some of the major conclu ion of this u rvey are con­t a i ned in the following paragraphs and for conveni­ence a re divided into various phases of Colby's alumni activi ty.

A. Ca rn pus Act ivit ies A mall percent of Colby alumni actu ally ret u rn

to the campus for alumni funct ion . Of tho e ret u rn­i ng, many have offici al mot i ves uch as Alumni Coun­cil meeting , clas agent meeting , trustee meetings, etc. In addi t i on, many ret u rn to the Waterv ille area for wha t are considered non-Colby reason , ie., bu i ne t rips, vaca t ions, etc. Therefore, i t hould be an ob­ject ive of fut u re reunion to get higher alumni part ici­ple back to the campu by involving them i n offici al college funct i ons. Of the mall number of rema ining alumni who ret u rn for general alumni func t ions, clas ·

reunions a re the mo t a t t ract i ve funct i on w i th Home­coming ranking second. There is general sa t isfact ion

with reu nion act1vl (Je ; howe,·er, i t shou ld be an ob­

jecti Ye of future reuni ons to get higher alumni part ici­

pation through improved class organiza tion and more

reunion publicity.

B. A lu m n i Council A large percentage of Colby's a l u m n i are general­

ly uninformed abou t the act i v i ties, size and respon i ­bili tie o f the Alumni Counci l . A very high percen t­age feel that some rela tion between the Counci l and class organ izations i s necessary. (This could i n i t ia l ly be accompl ished by forwardi ng the m i n u tes of a l l Council meetings to class agents). T h e survey also re­vealed wide pread ignorance concerni ng the Alumni Council nomination sy tern and a large n umber of alumni who feel u n i n formed concerni ng candidates for Council elect ions. It appears that i mprovemen t might occur by receiving nominat ions or by di rect representation from the classes if they were appropri ­ately organized.

C. A lumni Clubs In the hea i ly populated alumni areas, a lumni

clubs repre ent the stronge t bond w i t h the college. However, it is sign i fican t that the younger and older gradu a te do not at tend club funct i ons regularly. I t appears de irable t o acti ate more a lumni d u bs i n growing areas u i ng the Ford Foundat i on Campaign organization as a basis for new clu bs. I t m ight also be de irable t o form women 's a lumni clu b in the larger areas uch a \Vaterv i l le, Bo ton, New York, Worce ter, Hartford-Spri ngfield, etc. fore publicity i n official alumni publ ica t ion abou t alumni c lub activit ie al o eem to be i ndicated.

D. Class Organiza tion The cla seems to be poten t i al l y the strongest

bond wi th the college for recent graduate , older grad­uates, ( those out of college more than 25 years) , and tho e gradua tes l iv ing in distan t area not hea i ly populated wi th Colby alumn i . The class agen t or­ganiLation i regarded a generally good al though more news abou t t he college appear des i rable in t he agents' newsletter . I t was also fel t that the role of the agent hould be more closely i n tegrated w i t h the Counci l and that, in the f u t u re, agents hou ld be !>elected by a combi nat ion of the Alumni Office and clas elect ion . Colby alumni also uggest that agents be olici ted for nominations to the Counci l and pos­si bly even serve as members of the Counci l . A strong preference was indicated for the i n i t ia t ion of a 25-year reu nion gift program .

E. Faculty Relat ions The alumni generally feel a need to be better i n ­

formed abou t t h e act iv i t ie , v iews, and experience of

Colby's facul ty . H owever, the alumni general l y feel that a " hands off " pol i cy is appropri ate w i th regard to the facu lty and no d i rect i n tervention in facu lty af­fairs seems appropriate. It is fel t that whatever rela­t i on should exist between alumni and facu lty should occur offici al ly through the Alumni Counci l .

F. t uden t R e la t ions Io t a lumni feel that the alumni role hould

s tr ict ly be one of keepi ng in formed and offering advice when sol ic i ted . In thi regard it was poi nted ou t that local clubs play a key role in t i m u l a t i ng s tudent­alumni comm unica t i ons by holdi ng receptions to which s t udent wou ld be invi ted duri ng vaca t ion pe­riod or by invi t ing parent to local club functions.

G. Trustee Rela t ions fo t alumni feel that alumn i -tru tee relations

hould be do er than i pre ently the case. A large proport ion of Colby's a lumni are generally u n i n formed about trustee act ivi t ie , commi ttee funct ions, e tc. The

u rvey produced a strong endor ement for the a lumni t rustee concept and indicated that m ost a lumni feel that the t ru stee hou l d be most concerned w i t h the main tenance of Colby' high academic standa rds. It th us appears that the a lumni tru tee repre ents a key po i ton both in represen t i ng the a l u m n i , in carryi ng ou t communicat ion between alumni and tru tees, and in perform ing tru tee commi t tee £unctions.

H. A lu m n i Com m un ica t ions The survey revealed that Colby cannot rely on a

single comm u n i cations medium to do the ent ire com­m u n i cat ions job. Several means are ava i l a ble for comm u n i ca t i ng with a lumni and all m ust be evalu­a ted on the ba is of the audien ce that t hey reach . THE COLBY ALUM us i clearly t he best communica t ions de­v ice. Howe er, even t h a t publica t ion can stand i m -

20

provement by providing addi tional i n format ion on the act i v i t ies of the Alumni Cou nci l , a lumni clubs, facul­ty, trustees, etc. In addi t ion, the alumni office news­let ters now bei ng distribu ted by t he alumni secretary to class agents and to members of the Alumni Council are considered to be an excel lent communica t i ons ve­h i cle. Considerat ion should be given to further d i s­tri b u t ion of t h i s publicat ion .

I . Genera l Inform a t ion A h igh percen tage of Colby alumni feel t h a t an

alumni placemen t act i v i t y i s both desirable and neces­sary and cou ld best be carried out by regional a lumni c lubs, where pract ica l .

A hearty endorsemen t w a s expressed for Colby's recent fund rais ing act i v i t i es and it i s observed t h a t Colby's a lumni rel a t ions i n general are considered t o b e excellen t .

vi overall conclusions A. Although Colby alumni relations are general ly good, t here are many areas where i mprovemen ts can be made. B. The obj ective of all Colby a lumni act i v i ti es should be :

1 . To mainta in and st i m u la te i n terest i n the college by keepi ng the alumni bet ter in­formed abou t the col lege and abou t each other.

2. To have more alumni i n volved i n officia l col­lege and alumni a ffairs .

3. To at tract alumni back to the campus more freq uently as an effect i ve way to s t imulat ing and mai n ta i n i ng i n terest and developi ng sources for assistance.

C. O t her than by visi t i ng the campus and partici­p a t i ng i n offici al a lumni act i v i ti es, there are t h ree rou tes by which the a lumni at large rem a i n i n contact with the college :

1 . The class organizat ion (curren t ly age n ts only) 2 . Alumni cl u bs 3. Alumni commun ica tions

The younger, older, and geographical ly widespread alumni rely on the class organ i z a tion and on alumni commun icat ions whereas the middle-aged and metro­poli ta n alumni rel a te to the college v i a regiona l clubs, t he Alumni Counci l , and alumni commu n i ca t ions. D . Alumni Cou ncil membership is at presen t heavi l y weighted toward regional a l u m n i clubs w i t h addi t ion­a l weigh t i ng w i t h i n this group towards the region a l clu bs i n Maine a n d Iassachusetts. Colby's a l u m n i organizat ion shoul d recognize the large n umber o f a l u m n i whose onl y con nection w i t h the college is

t h rough t h ei r c las organizat ion and should s tr ive to make the Alumni Council more representa t i ve of the en t i re alumni body. E. All Col by alumni want to know more abou t the college and feel a great need to be kept i n formed. Colby's alumni communica t ions are genera lly good. However, regardless of t he number of publ ica t ion and letters mai led to alumni and the q ua l i ty of those publicat ions, some i n form a t i on gaps s t i l l exist . I t is clear that present commun icat ions media should be circu lated to more alumni and should i nclude more i n formation of intere t to aiumni i n exist ing publ ica­t i ons.

vii summary recommendations On the ba is of i n formation presented above and an analysi of the data i ncluded in the appendices to the report, the Alumni Organizat ion Study Commi t tee hereby recommends :

1 . That a permanen t organizat ion for each class be establ ished, sa id organizat ion co i nclude, as a mini­mum, a president , a v ice-pre iden t , a reu nion chair­man, clas agent (one man and one woman), a repre­sentat ive to t he Alumni Cou nci l , and such other of­ficers as may be appropri ate ; that t he A l umni Office, together wi th the Alumni Cou ncil execu t ive commi t­tee, w i t h the help of the class agents, determine the form, ten ure of office and responsibil i t i es of sai d or­gan i za tion and cause to be prepared a u n i form con­st i tu t ion or set of by-laws for each class to govern i ts operat ion , du ties, and responsibi l i t ies, and provide the means for implemen t i ng this recommendat i on .

2 . T h a t representat ion be furn ished each class on the Alumni Council as established i n class by-laws.

3. That at-large elect ion among t he alumni to membership on the Alumni Council be discont i n ued as soon as representa t ion from alumni classes is ac­complished.

4 . That approx imately 20% of the Cou nci l ' s com­posi t ion of council -elect members be con t i nued.

5 . Tha t i n effecting a tran i tion from the present a t-large election of Cou nci l members to an election by class, both of class officer and Cou ncil members, t he prese n t members of the Counci l be con idered as re­present i ng t heir respective classes. As terms expire, these former members of t he Cou nci l , plus new can­didates for clas es not presently represen ted on t he Cou nci l , wou ld be prime candidates as representa t i ves from their cla ses, or for nominat ion by class officers. I n in tances where no class representat ion presently exi sts on the Counci l l , or where eligi b i l i ty of a present Council member to represen t the class wi l l ha e ex­pired, the execut ive commi ttee of the Alumni Cou nci l and the a l u m n i office, toget her w i t h suggest i ons from

appropriate class agents, w i ll no.m i n a t: for class �lec­

tion, or appoint u n t i l the class 1s offic1ally orgamzed.

The immediate net effect on the compos i t i on of t he

Council would be as fol lows:

M embers elec ted by alumni 3 1 M embers elec ted by Coun c i l 1 7 Alumni club repres entati ves 33 Class es n ot represen ted heretofore

in above 1 2

The even wal effect upon the compos i t i on of the

Council would be as fol lows :

l\J embers elected and/or appoi n ted b y c lasses ( 1 per c lass to b e rotated every 3 or 5 y ears between a man and woman repres en tative from each clas ) 50 l\l embers elected by over 50 y ear classes 3 Counci l elected members 1 7 A lumn i c lu b r epres en tati ves 33

103 Under this system, the Council presen tly composed of

organized class organizations.

i n the form of THE COLBY COLLEGE BULLETIN. This bulleti n could also i n clude t imely subject suggested under recommenda tion number g above.

1 1 . That THE COLBY ECHO and an a th letic depart­men t coaches' newslet ter be offered to all a lumni on a pay-as-you-go basi by adverti i ng the ava i la b i l i ty of these publica ton in every is ue of THE COLB Y ALUMNUS.

A strong begin n i ng again t and a crushing of Bates (at Home-

But Colby displayed both a coring punch and, most outstanding of all, one of the mo t impenetrable defen­si,•e l ine e"er assembled here. Backed bv captain Pete \\Tagner a nd Kim

R E P RO D U C T ION FROM A S E R I E S . " PO R T L A N D I N T H E 1 9 T H C EN T U llY.- COPYR IG H T 1 9 50, THE CANAL N A T IONAL BANK o r POR T LA N D, M A I N (

Whaling NEW BEDFORD is the New England rown usually associared wirh early whaling days. The greac, graceful "wha lers · · were known over che e n r i re world as the sturdiest, linesr sh ips afloar, a n d the term " New Bedford Whaler" was applied r o . a l l of chem. Their fame will last in song and smry and cheir beaucy never fade from �rear pa i n c i ngs. They were about the lase of rhe grear s a i l i ng ships, and a far cry indeed from the ugly i f efficient "faciorr " s h i ps of today.

The great ships were frequently seen in Portland Harbor, where they would seek shelrer from S!Orms, and the sight of one making port must have been rhril l ing to even 'he mosr sea-hardened of Porrlanders.

Captain Ben j a m i n W i l lard i n his "Life History and Adventures" tells of one amusing incident in 1 866, whtn all rhe shipping i n the Harbor was alerted by t he presence of a 30-foot whale. The unwelcome visiror eluded all efforts to capture h i m , but back and forrh a l l day long, churned between Vaughan's and Portland Bridge. Crov.·ds collected on rhe banks and bridges, cheering wheo the w h a le surfaced lO "blo"'" and peering anxiously when he submerged. Finally, on Rood tide, he escaped to the open warer beyond Portland Bridge and was seen no more. Short!)' after rhis a seven-ron blacklish was captured �y Caprain Willard. It measured twenry-four f<!Ct i n length and twelve feet 10 circumfer.,nce. Another whale Captain \V illard tells of sighting "was becweeo lifLY and sixry feet long." When harpooned, he rowed Willard's little ship, 1be "Ne11le," many miles before he tired and was brought ta side.

W h a r is not coo w e l l known is c h a r some of chose same whalers were builr: io Port la nd. Neal Dow i n h i s ' ' Re m i n iscences" cells of s a i l ing, when a young man, " i n a new and clean ship jusc b u i l c in Porrland for New Bedford panies engaged i n the w h a l ing business, a n d ro be fi r1cd as a fi rst c lass wh a ler . · ·

Whales were nor unknown from early days a round Ponland warers - in fact, blacklish and t r u e w h a l t s were numerous o u r of Portland Harbor up to the la11er part o f rhe ninereenth century. They yielded q u a n t ities of line q u a l ity oil, but rhe Massachuse11s town ro the south had already established itself as e v. h aling capital and home port for the whaling industry.
