Synopsis
Excerpt from The College Ideal and American Life: An Address Delivered at the Seventy-Fifth Anniversary of Colby University
The record of the student enrollment is an interesting study. In 1870, the total was 53. With steady additions this rose, in 1879, to 155. From that time it decreased, until, in 1886, there were 118 students in attendance. Since 1886, an uninterrupted increase has brought the enrollment to more than four times that of the begin ning of this period. At no time has it been more appar ent than now, that Colby University is needed just where she is.
