Finding Aid to the Collection of Sarah Orne Jewett Materials.
No full textThis collection includes correspondence, manuscripts, and first publications of 19th-century Maine writer, Sarah Orne Jewett. The bulk of the collection consists of letters written by Jewett to various correspondents between 1879 and 1908. The collection also contains manuscript items of varying length, an Anecdote Book, clippings, published writings, and a few photographic prints. Sarah Orne Jewett (1849-1909) of South Berwick, Maine achieved note as an author and poet. The daughter of Dr. Theodore Jewett, she was educated at Berwick Academy, though her studies were frequently interrupted by illness. She never married and lived most of her life in her home town. In later years she traveled to the West Indies and to Europe with her friend, Annie Adams Fields. Jewett\u27s writing depicts her native state and its people with a clarity and sympathy that are still admired. In 1901 she received the first honorary Litt.D. awarded to a woman by Bowdoin College, her father\u27s alma mater. Among her best known works are A Country Doctor and Country of the Pointed Firs

Creating Community: Finding a Place of Belonging at Colby College
No full textThis paper discusses the NECASL project as carried out at Colby College, analyzing the role of social integration, involvement, and stratification as it relates to overall social experience for Colby students. Qualitative data is used to explore the different ways that social experiences at Colby can shape overall student perceptions in relation to both self and institution. Using Social Integration Theory, Social Involvement Theory, and Social Stratification Theory, the discussion illustrates the different areas for student involvement and the ways in which students understand and respond to differing levels of integration. Students who belong to the majority community or find peer support in Colby sub-communities display positive social experience and, in consequence, a stronger relationship with the institution. It is suggested that there is a direct correlation between perceived level of integration and positive college experience, specifically when students observe personal similarities with both peers and the institution itself
