Description:Excerpt from In Memoriam; George Colby Chase College Chapel Fifty-five years ago next August there entered the Freshman class of Bates College a young man who was destined to exert a powerful influence upon his own college and upon college life and education in general. One cannot easily conceive how different the conditions were here at that time from what they are now. The beautiful trees which now cover our campus with their delightful shade were then very small, or entirely lacking in places, none of them having been set more than six or eight years. The college grounds occupied less than half their present area, being included entirely between College Street and a line parallel to it running from Campus Avenue just back of the library building and through the middle of the chemical laboratory. Only two buildings had been erected, Hathorn and Parker Halls, and Hathorn Hall was only partially finished. The Institution was called Bates College, but included the Maine State Seminary and what later became Nichols Latin, or preparatory, School. Only two college classes had been admitted. It was my good fortune, as a member of the preparatory department, to become acquainted with George Colby Chase in that, his Freshman year, and it has been my much greater good fortune to have that acquaintance and friendship and intimacy continued and strengthened through the long period of years to the day of his death. George Chase, as we used to call him, to distinguish him from others of the same family name, very soon set the standard among his fellow-students for scholarship, character, and high ideals. At the same time his relations with his classmates and other students were characterized by marked courtesy, frankness, and kindly consideration. In his religious exercises there was manifest a specially reverent and worshipful spirit that was impressive and noticeable even to a casual observer. In the debating societies which were then an important feature in the student life he occupied a very prominent position. In any discussion or argument the side which secured his help was very sure to win. He took part in the first one of our public college debates, which many here present will remember were established and maintained by the earnest efforts of our beloved Professor Stanton. To those of us younger students listening to that debate several of the speakers seemed to have a vast array of facts, a broad view of the subject, and great skill in arranging and presenting their points. But when the chairman of the committee announced the name of Chase as the winner of the prize there was hearty approval, and no one could question the justness of the decision.
