Overview

Bowdoin College is a private liberal arts college in Brunswick, Maine. When Bowdoin was chartered in 1794, Maine was still a part of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The college offers 35 majors and 40 minors, as well as several joint engineering programs with Columbia, Caltech, Dartmouth College, and the University of Maine. The college was a founding member of its athletic conference, the New England Small College Athletic Conference, and the Colby-Bates-Bowdoin Consortium, an athletic conference and inter-library exchange with Bates College and Colby College. Bowdoin has over 30 varsity teams, and the school mascot was selected as a polar bear in 1913 to honor Robert Peary, a Bowdoin alumnus who led the first successful expedition to the North Pole. Between the years 1821 and 1921, Bowdoin operated a medical school called the Medical School of Maine. The main Bowdoin campus is located near Casco Bay and the Androscoggin River. In addition to its Brunswick campus, Bowdoin owns a coastal studies center on Orr's Island and a scientific field station on Kent Island in the Bay of Fundy. History

Notable quotes

“Ken says in his interview something that we have heard from other Bowdoin graduates — that Bowdoin provided not only a challenging academic environment amid some great natural beauty and interesting colleagues, but that it was also quite simply a good place to think. Suggesting that pure reflection has that kind of power and value is, in this world of perpetual stimulus, surprising.”
— Alison M. Bennie, on remarks of American Express CEO Ken Chenault, in Bowdoin magazine, Vol. 75, No. 2 (Winter 2004)
“I had no intention of getting back into politics. I was teaching at Bowdoin and happily retired from politics.”
— Angus King, on his decision to get back into politics, after the surprise announcement of the widely respected Maine Senator Olympia Snowe that she would not run for office again, as quoted in "Maine’s Incoming Independent Senator Angus King on Caucusing With the Dems" on PBS NewsHour (19 November 2012)
“Tucked away in the remnants of a great pine forest at the top of the hill, Bowdoin College is a highly regarded private liberal arts school widely known for professors who are passionate about teaching and students who bring to life the common good. Founded over two hundred years ago, Bowdoin College has a long history — not all of it haunted.”
— Erica Ostermann, in her "Foreword" to Haunted Bowdoin College (2014) by David R. Francis
