A Proposal For Dealing With Underage Drinking At Colby, Matthew Mckinney

CLAS: Colby Liberal Arts Symposium

This project details the drinking endemic at Colby college. Students consume alcohol despite the age limit, and face little resistance from campus administration/security.

Clivus Composting Toilet Systems At Flag Staff Lake, Chi Do, Grace Baldwin Apr 2015

Clivus Composting Toilet Systems At Flag Staff Lake, Chi Do, Grace Baldwin

CLAS: Colby Liberal Arts Symposium

Clivus Multrum composting toilet systems have been used in homes, parks and commercial buildings as the sole method of treating toilet waste. The composting process is reliable, convenient and safe. Its results are both conservative and productive; water is saved from use as a carriage medium and the fertilizer content in excreta is made available for reuse. The Clivus composting toilet uses aerobic decomposition to slowly break down both urine and feces into stable compounds within the polyethylene composting unit. Our poster will outline the technology and economics behind a Clivus system as part of the course Joules to Dollars.

Poetry And Paintings: Luca Giordano's Three Depictions Of Hercules' Death, Kathleen Carroll

CLAS: Colby Liberal Arts Symposium

Hercules is one of the most commonly portrayed classical figures in modern culture, with a plethora of movies and television shows depicting his adventures; this popularity is not a modern fad, however, for representations of Hercules have been a constant throughout history. During his career, the Baroque artist Luca Giordano (1634-1705) produced three different versions of Hercules' demise: the Colby Museum of Art's "Hercules on the Funeral Pyre" (1665-1670), "Hercules on the Pyre" (1687-1700) currently in El Escorial, and the Prado Museum's "Hercules on the Pyre" (~1697). This project in progress focuses on the different ways Giordano portrays Hercules' destiny …

African American Women In Greek Life, Jacqueline Tavella Apr 2015

African American Women In Greek Life, Jacqueline Tavella

CLAS: Colby Liberal Arts Symposium

For my research paper I would like to write about how African American Sororities originated.

I would also like to do research on Charles Robert Samuel Taylor, Pearl Neal, Myrtle Tyler, Viola Tyler, and Fannie Pettie who all played a role in founding Zeta Phi Beta at Howard University in 1920. This particular story is very interesting because it was initially a man who …
