The "Lion of Lucerne" is stashed away in the basement of Miller Library, near the periodicals room. This memorial to Colby's Union dead particularly haunted me in February of this year as the nation (and the world) lurched toward war. Students on Colby's old campus used to rub the lion's nose for good luck. My colleague Peter Harris and some of his students are hoping to mount a campaign to relocate the lion to a more prominent spot. This would provide future students a new opportunity to wish for enlightenment, scholarship and good fortune.
