"Bowdoin College was chartered in 1794 by Governor Samuel Adams of Massachusetts, of which Maine was then a district, and was named for former Massachusetts governor James Bowdoin, whose son James Bowdoin III was an early benefactor. At the time of its founding, it was the easternmost college in the United States. Bowdoin came into its own in the 1820s, a decade in which Maine became an independent state as a result of the Missouri Compromise and the college graduated a number of its most famous alumni, including future United States President Franklin Pierce, class of 1824, writers Nathaniel Hawthorne and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Joshua Chamberlain, who later served as a professor there. Bowdoin is consistently ranked among the top ten liberal arts colleges in the United States by U.S. News and World Report."Softcover. 7"x10", 222 pages, several color and many black & white plates.
