Colby College is on Mayflower Hill, and it is a beautiful campus. I don't
know how small it is anymore, but its presence certainly enhances the City
of Waterville. The homes around the college are a bit upper -- or at least
they were by 1970's standards. I don't think any of my folks attended
Colby; they headed for Massachusetts as soon as they were old enough!
