Perspective on the College

Colby History & Dean Marriner
A review, by Thomas Savage, of the
"History of Colby College" by Dean Ernest C. Marriner; published, 1963, by the Colby College Press.

Sports
It has been a long, cold winter on Mayflower Hill… and sports enthusiasts will be the first to agree. Mule fans, spoiled by a record-shattering hockey team and a championship basketball team last winter, have seen fewer wins and thrills this year.
However, in every long, cold winter, there are the sunny days between blizzards and Colby followers have had a fair shake of proud moments.
