COLBY COLLEGE

MISS Murlel ROBINSON FORMER Col
by student, and very prominent in
the activities of the college left Sun
day for Boston where she will con-
tinue her studies at the Boston School
of Fine Arts. She will also study IT
Simmons and take a course in sculp-
ture at Boston University. While at
Colby and since leaving she aided
greatly in the development of the
Colby White Mule, the college humor-
Gus publication. She was art editor
of the White Mule and last year drew
the first cover to appear in four
colors. Her work was the finest
type and was a big factor in the
establishment of the only comic paper
published by Colby students.
The first and only appeal for stu
dent aid was made at the chapel ex-
ercises Saturday, by the Colby Y. M.
C. A. The budget this year has been
set at $500, the largest amount in it's
history. The Y. sends deputation
teams to the churches and prepara-
tory schools in this vicinity every
Sunday. 1t also is behind many of
the activities at the college such as
the freshman hike, the freshman re-
ception, the annual stunt night, and
annually publishes the Colby hand
book. A fine response was made by
the student body and it would not be
surprising to see the necessary
amount obtained the next few days.
It was announced Saturday that
Captain Irving O'Hay, United States
Army (retired) would speak at the
City Opera House on October 13,un-
der the auspices Of the Colby Depart
ment of Public Speaking. This is of
much interest to Colby students as
CAPTAIN O'Hay Is one of Americas
foremost lecturers. Since 1897 he has
served in eight different wars and
under different flags. President
Roberts has contributed 5000 to the
lecture fund, thus allowing 400 of the
600 students to get tickets at SO cents
each. About 275 of these tickets are
now available and the students will
without doubt make the most OF the
opportunity thus offered to hear
Captain O'Hay. Later in the season
many prominent men will be brought
to Waterville under the auspices OF
the college. In this way the students
at Colby will be given chance TO
get first hand information about
important events and opinions OF
national and international scope. 1t
Osborne will speak at the college In
the near future in the second of
series of lectures by prominent men
which series will continue throughout
the college year.
Some of the experienced football
men are in great demand as officials
in the high school games around
Waterville Last Saturday Frank
~ -, Of n q q r
and Jimmy McCroary was his head
lineman. Frank Steigler umpired at
the game between Lawrence High and
Madison. Activities are not wholly
confined to officiating, however, as
George "Scotty" MARI is coach of the
team at Lawrence High School. He
has been chosen as coach Of all sports
and after football will give his at
tention to basketball and later to
track and baseball.
Among the visitors during the week
end were Memo" Foran Of the class
of 1924 and Louis MacBay '25. Foran
while at Colby was captain OF relay
and later of the track team. He was
one of the best quarter milers ever
at Colby, being the strongest. ana
most dependable man on the relay
teams for four years. 1t was largely
due to his work that Colby won the
National Championship in quarter
mile relay for class B colleges at the
Penn. relays few years ago. Louis
MacBay graduated last year after
a very versatile career In sports at
Colby. He played on the football and
hockey teams and ran on the track
team. Last year he was editor In
chief of the White Mule. Both men
were among the most popular stu
dents in the college and they did
much to develop the college not only
in athletics but in many other school
activities.
