|  The Lovejoy Building is named for Elijah Parish Lovejoy, an 1826 Colby graduate and America's first martyr to freedom of the press. Lovejoy is home for humanities and social science classrooms and offices of the departments of classics, East Asian studies, philosophy, religious studies, foreign languages, and information technology services. Lovejoy 100, on the ground floor, is a large lecture hall with sophisticated sound and projection systems that doubles as a movie theater. A student computer laboratory, open 24 hours a day, is on the fourth floor, as is the state-of-the-art Language Resource Center. |  The Elijah Parish Lovejoy Award was established in 1952 in honor of the Colby graduate who was the first martyr to freedom of the press for his anti-slavery writing. The annual award honors a member of the newspaper profession who has contributed to the nation's journalistic achievement. New York Times Chief Foreign Correspondent John Burns won the award in 2007. | |
