When a pebble falls in a pond, if it’s a calm pond, it creates dramatic concentric circles that begin to dissipate as they move farther and farther from the point of origin. If the water is unruffled, those concentric circles will find their way miles to the end of the lake. You’ve all seen Hallmark Card photographs of this. According to this metap...
It comes from Alan Morehead, who has written extensively about “first encounters” between more industrial and less industrial peoples, or more advanced and less advanced peoples, depending on one’s perspective. It’s a marvelous metaphor. His metaphor is not from the Great Plains, it’s actually from the South Pacific. Morehead spoke of, “that fatal ...
The third one has had a lot of play during the Bicentennial and I think it’s pretty unfair, actually. The third metaphor is the metaphor of a tsunami.

Without always knowing what they were doing, the explorers planted a few seeds that sprouted over time. Some of them flourished and changed the world that the expedition traveled through and some of the seeds didn’t flourish. Lew...
This one comes from my favorite writer, John Donne. According to this metaphor Lewis and Clark essentially had no impact. They came, they went, maybe they sullied things a little but the West sealed up the minute they walked out of the picture.

Finally, I want to modify the seed metaphor, as refashioned by Henry David Thoreau. Many of you know this famous late passage from Walden, about how our lives bear fruits in ways we can’t anticipate and that there may be long periods of dormancy before those fruits are borne. This is quintessential Thoreau: So maybe the Lewis and Clark story embodi...

The Albany Collegiate Institute opened its doors on October 14, 1867. In the 150 years that followed, the institution changed its name, moved campuses twice, and grew into a well-regarded liberal arts college. Albany’s curriculum emphasized classics and religion.
Meriwether Lewis (August 18, 1774 – October 11, 1809) was an American explorer, soldier, politician, and public administrator, best known for his role as the leader of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, also known as the Corps of Discovery, with William Clark.
In 1942 Albany College acquired the Frank Estate in Portland and as a part of its relocation, renamed itself Lewis & Clark College. The college also rebranded its yearbook as The Voyageur, a French term meaning traveler, which was applied to describe North American fur traders.
In 1942 the college trustees acquired the Lloyd and Edna Levy Frank Fir Acres estate southwest of the city, establishing a permanent campus in Portland. To mark the transformation, the trustees changed the name to Lewis & Clark College. The Lewis & Clark College Archive holds documents of historical significance to the history of the institution.
