Synopsis

This book's comprehensive examination of the history of the United States's Bowdoin College does more than provide a timeline of dates and names. The author draws upon archival research and published materials to tell the story of this prestigious institution from its humble beginnings in the 18th century to its present-day standing as one of the nation's leading liberal arts colleges. The book explores the ways in which Bowdoin has reflected and shaped American social and intellectual history, including the contentious debates over slavery and the role religion should play in higher education. The author considers Bowdoin's commitment to fostering intellectual inquiry and independent thinking, and its expansion into new fields of study from the natural sciences to engineering. This book is an invaluable resource for historians of higher education, as well as anyone interested in the history of a college that has played an influential role in shaping Maine and the nation.
