Steamboat Springs — Phippsburg resident and longtime college educator Robert P. Baker has self-published an ambitious book, "Liberal Arts —Education and College Architecture in Steamboat Springs — a Personal HIstory," that succeeds in blending three story lines, including the history of the small college now known as the Alpine Campus of Colorado Mountain College. One story line is the arc of Baker's own career in higher education, including a four-year stint teaching at Stanford University. The second story line is the metamorphosis of Yampa Valley College in Steamboat Springs from a liberal arts college in a ski town into the modern Colorado Mountain College (CMC). And finally, Baker highlights the career of former Steamboat Springs architect Lincoln Jones whose buildings were integral to the early years of the college and its liberal arts tradition. - Tom Ross, Steamboat Pilot.
