    SOUTHERN MAINE COMMUNITY COLLEGE 2017-2018 SMCC FACTBOOK Published August 2018 pg. 48 SMCC FACTBOOK History of SMCC A Brief History of SMCC Southern Maine Community College (SMCC) has grown and evolved over the years. Our mission today is to transform lives and communities through education and training, and welcome, prepare and inspire all to learn, succeed and lead. Our role is as vital today as it was in 1946, when the College first opened under the name Maine Vocational Technical Institute (MVTI), a day school in Augusta created to serve returning World War II veterans who needed to learn new skills in a post-war economy. By 1952 MVTI and its 156 students had outgrown their space in Augusta and moved to the site of decommissioned Fort Preble, overlooking beautiful Casco Bay in South Portland. During the 1960s the name was changed to Southern Maine Vocational Technical Institute (SMVTI) and authorization was received to award Associate in Applied Science degrees. In the late 1980s, the Maine Legislature changed the name of the state’s Vocational Technical Institute System to the Maine Technical College System, and SMVTI became Southern Maine Technical College (SMTC). Almost a decade later, in 1998, the College added an Associate in Arts degree in liberal studies to its offerings, a significant step in its evolution to a comprehensive community college. In 2003 that transformation was complete. Gov. John Baldacci introduced legislation establishing the Maine Community College System – a move that enjoyed strong bipartisan support in the 121st Maine Legislature. The College name was changed once more, this time to Southern Maine Community College.

In yet another abortive attempt to settle the location of a new Casco Bay Terminal, the Portland Planning Board failed to act on a choice of Hobson's Wharf (at the foot of High St.); or the combined Custom House - Portland Pier site. Unanimous rejection of Hobson's Wharf was voiced by island residents, supplemented by peti­ tions signed by many who could not attend the August 7 public hearing. Custom House was favored more as the lesser of two evils, than an ideal solution in itself. Underlying the testimony was a repeated sug­ gestion that the City look again at the Easterly side of Long Wharf which might be negotiated with owner Tony DeMillo - who, it is understood, ,-1 ,-1 - might be willing to move his Marina to the westerly m side in a more protected area.

  • Bowdoin College Museum of Art Maine's Lithographic Landscapes: Town & City Views, 1830–1870 December 12, 2019–May
    Bowdoin College Museum of Art Maine’s Lithographic Landscapes: Town & City Views, 1830–1870 December 12, 2019–May 31, 2020 Label Text Maine citizens commissioned panoramic lithographs to celebrate their towns and cities, creating twenty-three major prints between 1832 and 1866. These large works reveal not only the young state’s economic and architectural development, but also provide insights into how these commercial centers viewed themselves and wished others to see them. The German invention of lithography, allowing prints to be made from a smooth surface onto which an image could be drawn, arrived in America in 1819. Involving artists, printers, publishers, and financial underwriters, the process made it possible for images to be reproduced inexpensively for wide distribution. This printmaking innovation came to New England when John Pendleton opened his Boston shop in 1825. Describing Pendleton’s work in 1828, author John Neal of Portland wrote of his astonishment “at the vigor and beauty of lithographic prints and at the hidden capacities of the art.” From Bangor to Saco, residents turned to such leading artists as Fitz Henry Lane and talented local artists, including Esteria Butler and Cyrus William King. During the same period when Rufus Porter painted landscapes of New England’s natural beauty, these artists publicized the state’s urban and commercial development. Bowdoin College appeared in several prints beginning in 1825, based on paintings, sketches, and photographs. These views provide an in-depth examination of the campus as well as the institution’s development before the first widely circulated albumen photograph appeared in 1860. Celebrating the bicentennial of Maine’s statehood, this exhibition explores Maine’s history and the role lithography played in promoting the state and its early artistic and economic aspirations.
