To Bates 2017,

Congrats on your acceptance to Bates. This is a major accomplishment, and you should
be proud of your school.

As a Colby grad, I want to point out
while the three Maine schools are friendly rivals when we are students,
once we graduate we are just friends, and many alumni activities are held
together and/or with the other NESCAC schools. Having attended a great
small liberal arts college in Maine is a unique experience we all share.

Please note that Colby is located in Waterville, perhaps three minutes from
downtown, or for that matter in whatever direction you take in Waterville. We are
about 20 minutes from Augusta, which is 18 miles away.

Bates, on average, is not strong in sports. Williams - yes. Middlebury - yes.
Bates - no, but with the Class of 2017, perhaps that will change!
