 PREFACE

The chapters which make up this little monograph are reprinted from the issues of The Colby Alumnus for January and March, 1912. For various reasons it has seemed best to give them without alteration. If my views as to the purpose of the founders of the college shall meet with general acceptance, I shall be amply repaid for my labor. CHARLES P. CHIPMAN. May 1, 1912.
