In 1937, according to master plans drawn up by [[Jens Fredrick Larson]], construction broke ground on Lorimer Chapel, the first building on the new Mayflower Hill campus. In 1956, the Maine State Highway Commission diverted the proposed path of [[Interstate 95 in Maine|Interstate 95]] to swing clear of the new campus to the west,<ref>http://digital.olivesoftware.com/Default/Skins/ColbyCollege/Client.asp?Skin=ColbyCollege&AppName=2&AW=1443640212710 {{dead link|date=March 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> and in 1961, ''[[Parade (magazine)|Parade]]'' magazine called the 24-mile section of I-95 from Augusta to Waterville "America's finest example of a 'driver's road' for scenery, speed, and safety."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/infrastructure/50interstate2.cfm|title=The Greatest Decade 1956-1966 – Interstate System – Highway History – Federal Highway Administration|access-date=7 December 2016}}</ref> The college began competing athletically with Bowdoin and Bates in the 1940s, and officially joined the two colleges in the [[Colby-Bates-Bowdoin Consortium]] in 1965, after the University of Maine increased enrollment and moved to another athletic conference. The consortium became an athletic rivalry and academic exchange program.
