The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes—Marcel Proust
The inspiration for Jane’s most recent work comes from locations she has observed in the woods along the rivers and ocean in mid-coast Maine. Her ideas begin in the natural world, but once a work is under way the quality of the paint itself on the flat surface takes on a life of its own. Rather than seeking to faithfully reproduce a scene, she opens her senses to an environment. Space, color, and surface tension evolve as she works. She is as interested in the two-dimensional aspects of the image as in the sense of depth created by the image. The large format of her paintings provides an environment into which the viewer can enter. Jane’s work will be on display in the Diamond Building on Friday and Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Meet at Lunder House | | 1:30-2:30 p.m. | Phyllis Mannocchi, professor and chair of the Department of English, "American Dreams Productions: Short Documentaries by the Seniors of AM 378—American Dreams"
Phyllis Mannocchi will screen two short documentaries produced this spring by graduating seniors in an American studies course and talk about the history, organization, and educational goals of the course and the experience of the student documentary filmmakers. She will explain not only how this senior experience culminates in exceptional creative work by many of Colby’s best and brightest students but also how it contributes to the mission of a liberal arts education. Videographer Carol Lane will discuss how the students learn the video production process.
Room 142, Diamond Building
| | 1:30-2:30 p.m. | John Turner, assistant professor of history, "Is Iran a Threat to World Peace?"
In the course of the past two years there has been a steady drumbeat concerning the threat from Iran. The rhetoric surrounding this has been heated and at times frightening. Some pronouncements imply an unstated assumption that the Iranians are irrational, or behaving in an inscrutable manner. In an effort to understand Iranian behavior, John Turner will contextualize the current situation in terms of Iranian history and the current leadership, leading to a clearer frame from which to assess the level of threat.
Room 141, Diamond Building
| | 2:45 p.m. | Admissions informational session

Wild tiger populations and habitats are declining across much of Asia at the same time that the number of captive tigers is growing in the U.S. and tiger farms are expanding in China. Philip Nyhus, co-editor of Tigers of the World: The Biology, Politics and Conservation of Panthera tigris, will discuss the troubled state of the world’s tigers and describe his work with an international research team and the government of China to reintroduce into the wild the critically endangered South China tiger.
Room 153, Diamond Building
| | 2:45-3:45 p.m. | Mark Tappan, professor and chair of the Education Program, "'What About the Boys?' Masculinity Goes to School"
This interactive presentation will explore the so-called "boy crisis" in U.S. schools and colleges and its relationship to contemporary conceptions of masculinity. Popular culture conveys messages to boys telling them to be tough, cool, and unemotional. When academic achievement is labeled as "something girls do," what does it mean for boys to succeed in school? Mark Tappan will explore these cultural and school-based dynamics and review approaches that engage and connect to boys and support their academic achievement.
Room 122, Diamond Building
| | 3:00 p.m. | Tour of the Colby College Museum of Art

Meet at Lunder House | | 4:00-5:00 p.m. | Martha Arterberry, professor of psychology, "Einstein Babies? The Perceptual and Cognitive Abilities of Young Infants"
A lot of publicity has been generated about the amazing capacities of young infants. How do people know what a baby perceives or knows? Are these claims true? In this presentation Martha Arterberry will draw on her and other's research on babies less than 12 months of age. She will talk about what we know about babies' abilities, the research techniques for finding out about these abilities, and how we might want to view products marketed to parents to capitalize on their young children's early abilities.
Room 145, Diamond Building
| | 4:00-5:00 p.m. | Bruce Maxwell, associate professor and chair of the Department of Computer Science, "Building Emotional Social Robots"
Until recently robots have been largely confined to factory floors, surrounded by alarms and laser beam perimeters that halt the robot if someone should enter its work area. The Roomba vacuum cleaning robot, however, has entered millions of homes and is busy cleaning floors around the country. Countries such as Japan are going further and exploring how robots can be used as aids to the elderly or for other house-cleaning chores. While the Roomba treats you like a piece of furniture, a personal aid or more sophisticated home-cleaning robot needs to interact with people. How do we build robots that interact effectively with people? Do social robots need to appear to have emotions? Will robots that are intelligent enough to be social exhibit emotions not intended by their creators? This talk will go over some initial explorations of these questions and explain how emotions might enable robots to be more effective at achieving their goals-—which could include trying to get someone to take their medicine.
Room 141, Diamond Building
| | 4:00-5:00 p.m. | Jason Opal, assistant professor of history and George C. Wiswell Jr. Research Fellow, "Tom Paine and the Ordeal of American Foreign Policy"
In January 1776 a recent English immigrant to the American colonies named Tom Paine published Common Sense, an incendiary pamphlet that denounced monarchy and embraced independence. Paine's manifesto also announced a new form of nationalism for the United States, one based not on shared ethnic, linguistic, or religious traditions but on universal ideas of natural rights and liberty. As the United States grew into a continental and then global superpower, many citizens and statesmen argued that those ideas justified—even required—American expansion and intervention around the world so that Paine's "cause of all mankind" might prevail over various tyrannies. In doing so, however, we overlook a vital assumption behind Paine's work—that nations were bound by certain laws just as individuals were and that those laws forbade aggression of any kind, for any reason.

| | 1:30-2:20 | Jane Gibbons '58, Kilimanjaro and Tanzanian Safaris
A 2006 climb to the highest point in Africa with the Appalachian Mountain Club took Jane Gibbons to the highest point of her hiking life.

This 1958 grad was least likely to do anything athletic while at Colby, but keeps plodding up mountains today.

Through his small but representative collection of Edward Gorey books, prints, and ephemera, Duncan will explore what makes Gorey's fans smile and shake their heads, looking for understanding.

Sarah will read from her work and discuss life in the Crescent City.

In the autumn of 2002 and again in the spring of 2005, Dian Emerson Sparling ’63, Barb Haines Chase’63, and Barb's husband, Bill ’62, traveled to Nepal with Helping Hands Health Education, whose mission is to deliver medical care to rural villages with little access to the care or prevention of disease. A second portion of each trip was a trek into the Himalayan Mountains. In 2005 the team of 12 worked in the small rural village of Khandbari, east of Kathmandu and accessible only by plane. Following a week of medical work, the team returned to Kathmandu for a 35-mile trek to the Everest base camp. In a country of such beauty, the political chaos and medical needs are overwhelming. Dian, Barb, and Bill will share photos and stories of their experiences.
Room 213, Lovejoy Building
| | 3:30-4:20 | Mark Wylie '88, "To Lose is to Gain"

Throughout his journey, Mark has lost a lot, but what he has gained has outweighed his losses.
Room 122, Diamond Building
| | 3:30-4:20 | Alumni College preview: The Victorian World
Jill Gordon, professor of philosophy
The magnitude of social change in the Victoria Era was enormous, and the influence of Victorian people and events is still felt into the 21st century. Named for the reign of Queen Victoria, 1837-1901, this period in British history was witness to industrial revolution, the Darwinian revolution, an upheaval of manners and morals, political and economic turmoil at home, violence abroad in the growing empire, social conflict of class and gender, an outpouring of literature and philosophy, the development of old and new sciences, growth of railways and mass communication, and the proliferation of the decorative arts, popular music, and mass entertainment. Alumni College 2008 will examine the Victorian world from a number of perspectives, including history; economics; science; technology and society; philosophy; literature; art; and music. Please join us for a preview of this crucial and momentous period in British history.
