Yep. Unfortunately, a few posters will do their best to corrupt a topic such as this, however.

The donation will be used to fund several science-related initiatives at Colby. Included in those investments are a $300 million, state-of-the-art, science complex; new academic programs in science and engineering; support for the state’s K-12 STEM education; and partnerships that will strengthen Maine’s science and technology economy.
“Colby has long had outstanding science programs, and that work has been deeply connected to other scientific organizations across the state and around the world," said Colby College President David A. Greene, in the news release. "These investments will allow us to take that work to a new level, ensuring that science education and the application of scientific knowledge and discovery are addressing the needs of Maine. Importantly, it allows Colby to be at the forefront of educating the next generation of science and technology leaders who will carry with them a deep understanding of the human dimensions of science and the need to ensure that the power of science is used for a broader societal good,” Greene added.

Colby making a run at the “best SLAC in northern New England crown.” Sorry, Midd.
Good luck with that. Colby while a great school will never even be the best school in Maine.
Honestly was wondering what school you were even talking about. Bates? Bates can fight it out for 2nd place with Midd. Brrrr. It’s cold up there.
Yea, Bates…..how did you guess?
IDK, maybe Maine has 3 schools? Not counting lobster schools
