Printed by Penmor Lithographers, Leiviston, Maine Report of the President

To the Trustees and Overseers of Bowdoin College: I have the honor ofsubmitting thefollowing reportfor the academicyear ipSj- 1986. IN JUNE I completed my fifth year as president of Bowdoin College. It seems appropriate, therefore, that my annual report not only review the events of this past year but also reflect upon those of the last five, especially those that highlight the direction in which Bowdoin has been moving and will, I hope, continue to move in the years immediately ahead. As is always the case with my annual reports, I am much indebted to my administrative and office staffs for the invaluable background work they have done. Their assistance is gratefully acknowledged.

I do not intend to retell the somewhat troubled times during which I was elected to office. Everyone then was aware that only a collective effort would see this College well under way again. Everyone helped. The Governing Boards reshaped their structure and processes to ensure responsible continuity and understanding; the faculty strengthened the curriculum to provide students with a basic introduction to the major divisions and foreign studies and to offer more interdisciplinary programs; the students served helpfully and responsibly on a variety of College committees, and when protest seemed the order of the day—as it has since time immemorial with students—they carried it on with a blend of conviction and civility that will always be to their credit; alumni rallied to assist their College not only through increased support to record-setting Alumni Funds but also through career counseling, admissions interviewing, and a variety of Alumni Council programs. The greater Brunswick community too, saw itself, quite un- derstandably, as another constituency of the College, benefiting as it does from the library, athletic facilities, lectures, concerts, and courses. This perception found formal expression in the Association of Bow- doin Friends, a society now developing programs of its own and supporting the College in a variety of ways. In dealing with all constituencies, the administrative officers of the College worked hard. In short, I did not want for help. The most evident sign of support has been the successful evolution of the Campaign for Bowdoin, the capital campaign that began with

my report to the Governing Boards in 1 98 2 on the needs of the College.

3 4 Report of the President

A review conducted by the Strategic Planning Committee led to establishing a goal of $56 million, exclusive of the Alumni Fund, for scholarships, teaching chairs, a science facility, an athletic facility, building renovations, and general endowment. Today, after nearly two years of a five-year undertaking, the Campaign has raised $36 million. I am confident that the goal will not only be reached but

exceeded. Such is the good will that characterizes Bowdoin today. With this as a general introduction, the sections that follow will address in greater detail the changes that have occurred in the various

areas of the College. In the final section, lest I be perceived as wearing

rosier spectacles than befit even a college president, I shall discuss some of the issues that confront this College and the tensions that give them urgency.

Faculty Concerns

The scholarly and other professional activities of the faculty are recorded and published annually. This spring the records for the last several years were assessed and compared with the records of faculties at other institutions. In gathering the comparative data, we discovered that many colleges were unable to supply similar records; that this College has reported annually on the work of the faculty shows the importance Bowdoin places upon this part of the faculty's work. In

recognizing such activities, the College is in no way diminishing the importance of teaching, the value of participation in other aspects of

intellectual and cultural life on campus, or the need of service to departments and committees. In the months ahead, the faculty will consider this comparative

study, both as to what it shows about Bowdoin relative to other

schools and what it tells us about Bowdoin itself. There will, I believe, be agreement in principle that all the characteristics of a successful faculty member are important, that none will substitute for another, and that although there may be some variation from individual to individual in relative strengths, the criteria for both teaching and research should be high. Less agreement will be found in what the report says about the performance of Bowdoin faculty relative to that of other faculties. Some may note that the data are soft and thus inconclusive. Others will lament that Bowdoin does not make a stronger showing compared to certain other schools. In any case, the present review will prompt a serious look at the values and goals the faculty and administration should adhere to in meeting their responsibilities to the programs and the mission of the College. Report of the President 5

Whatever the results of this discussion of professionalism, the faculty has many achievements to its credit. The number of books and scholarly articles is substantial. Faculty participation at professional meetings, as presenters of papers, as chairs of symposia, as members of professional organizations, attests to a high level of involvement and to the wisdom of the College's policy that provides travel and other support for faculty members to attend such meetings. Currently under study is a proposal to grant sabbaticals to untenured faculty to provide them with an opportunity to prepare as fully as possible for the demands of tenure review. Faculty achievement has been recognized through the support of scholarly work by grants of fellowships or research funds from the Guggenheim Foundation, the American Council of Learned Societies, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Research Corpo- ration, and the National Science Foundation. Members of the Bow- doin faculty are clearly able to articulate their needs for research support. At the same time that a distinguished record in scholarship has been achieved, the faculty has voted to utilize student opinion forms of classroom performance as a means of improving teaching. Student opinions thus gathered have clearly indicated that the faculty teach well and are deeply interested in their students. Faculty concerns about the size of departments, the number of students in classes, and the quality and diversity of the curriculum have been addressed through a series of reviews of academic departments conducted by the Curriculum and Educational Policy Committee. Where there has been a pressing need for additional faculty, we have been fortunate to obtain foundation grants to fund them. Thanks to the Charles A. Dana Foundation, Dana Faculty Fellows have been added to the Departments of Art, Chemistry, Computer Science and Information Studies, and Economics. A grant from the Pew Memorial Trust provided funds to initiate the position of Director of Environ- mental Studies and two positions in Romance languages. From the Charles E. Culpeper Foundation, a grant has enabled us to begin funding a position in the Department of Computer Science and another in

the operation of the Computing Center. It is expected that these positions will continue with endowment generated by the Campaign. The Russell and Janet Doubleday Fund has endowed the new position

of Director of the Arctic Studies Center, who is also a faculty member in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology. A Luce Lecturer 6 Report of the President in American Art and Literature has been made possible for three years by funds from the Henry Luce Foundation, and a visiting professorship in alternate years in government or the arts has been established by Donald M. Zuckert '56. Funding has begun in support of the James R. and Helen Lee Billingsley Professorship of Marine Biology, a new chair in music to be named in honor of Professor Robert K. Beckwith, and a chair for the Director of the. Museum of Art. These additions to the faculty and the prospect of other chairs to be announced soon are welcome to a faculty that has not expanded in proportion to the increase in size of the student body. Not only does the faculty need to be larger to restore a better balance between the number of faculty and the number of students, but also an increase in size is appropriate to continue to meet changing em- phases and directions within academic disciplines, particularly the move toward interdisciplinary research and teaching. The Environ- mental Studies Program and the Afro-American Studies Program are examples in which faculty members contribute courses to their academic departments and to an interdisciplinary program. Through grants from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Pew Memorial Trust, proposals for Asian studies and British studies are already well under way. In the sciences, a chemistry-physics interdisciplinary major has recently taken its place beside biochemistry and psychobiology. As the range of disciplines and interdisciplinary work becomes greater, further attention will need to be given to the allocation of resources. Of particular help to the faculty has been the Computing Center. Since its inception in 1965, the center has each year become a more critical part of the College's support for educational and administrative activities. The present DEC 1091 mainframe computer was new in

1 98 1 ; the growth in its use and rapid changes in computer engineering since then have required even newer technology. In 1984, the College, helped by a substantial grant from Digital Corporation, purchased a VAX/780. At the same time, a laboratory was established on the second floor of Hubbard Hall to improve student access to the computer, and the positions of Academic Users Services Coordinator and Ad- ministrative Applications Coordinator were established. The center is now undergoing a review to ensure that hardware, software, and staffing are adequate for a growing demand.

A more traditional support to academic concerns is, of course, the library. Library needs have been met during the past five years largely through a project that added underground space connecting the Haw- Report of the President 7 thorne-Longfellow Library with Hubbard Hall. That area, named in memory of Professor John C. Donovan, is used for shelving government documents, and has allowed the renovated stack area of Hubbard

Hall to be open to students as it was when Hubbard served as the library. The stack area has also provided needed study carrels and additional faculty studies. Through a generous gift from Albert Abra- hamson, George Lincoln Skolfield, Jr., Professor of Economics Emer- itus, the sixth floor of the Hubbard Hall stack area was remodeled into what is now considered the best study space on the campus. Another part of the renovations added space to Special Collections within Haw- thorne-Longfellow and provided a climate control system to protect the important materials that are housed there.

Despite these improvements in the library, its needs have not ended. As the collections grow, the library will need the space in Hawthorne- Longfellow Hall now occupied by the administration. Planning for the new science building includes a science library as a crucial com- ponent. At the same time, the College is working with Bates and Colby to develop a common computer-based card catalogue. If this project is successful, the collections of the three libraries will be easily available to all Bates, Bowdoin, and Colby students and faculty. The Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum, long under the stewardship of the Museum of Art, has emerged recently as an independent unit. The director of the new Arctic Studies Center and the museum registrar have begun the tasks of reorganizing and revitalizing the collections, particularly the notebooks and diaries of Arctic explorers and the photographic records of their explorations. The director offers anthropology courses focused on the people of the Arctic and in that way is developing an Arctic Studies Program that, with appropriate financial help and support, may see Bowdoin students once again conducting research in the Arctic. The past five years have been a period of growth and development for the Museum of Art. The museum has about 50,000 visitors a year, including students, faculty, visiting scholars, and members of the public. Among its outstanding recent offerings was a stunning exhibition of our own old master prints and drawings that has since been shown to appreciative audiences elsewhere in the United States and in Canada. The catalogue for the exhibition, written by David P. Becker '70, received a silver medal award of excellence by the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education. An exhibition in 1983 of Winslow Homer watercolors contributed to the current revitalization 8 Report of the President of interest in Homer, whose paintings and memorabilia are well represented in the museum's permanent collections. Financed by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Coulter Fund, and a bequest from John H. Halford '07, the climate control program has proceeded with the construction of a new print and drawing storage area, the reconstruction of the skylights in the upper galleries, the installation of special glass in all windows, and the design of an air-lock vestibule for the main entrance. When the impact of these measures on the museum's temperature and humidity have been assessed, planning will continue for the next phase of this project so essential to the preservation of our remarkable collections. The Breckinridge Public Affairs Center in York, under an able director, has developed a busy schedule of conferences involving business, the professions, education, and the public interest. River House remains an attractive retreat for such gatherings, and we expect to see this program continue successfully with an emphasis on meetings and projects directly related to public affairs. To the extent that supple- mental funding may be necessary to achieve this emphasis, it will be provided, for the gift of River House and its endowment was accepted with the understanding that the center would help focus the College's concern for public affairs. The challenge to fulfill this promise and realize another interesting facet of Bowdoin lies immediately before us. An account of faculty concerns for the past five years would not be complete without noting the retirement of a number of members of the faculty who in their careers have contributed much to Bowdoin. Professor Robert K. Beckwith will conclude his service to the College as of December 31, 1986, and join in retirement Professors Philip C. Beam, Richard L. Chittim, Louis O. Coxe, Paul G. Darling, Edward

J. Geary, Lawrence S. Hall, Paul V. Hazelton, and Charles E. Hun- tington, and Mr. Ray S. Bicknell. Faculty and retired faculty members who have died during the past five years include Professors John C. Donovan, Alton H. Gustafson, Samuel E. Kamerling, James M. Moulton, George H. Quinby, Burton W. Taylor, Albert R. Thayer, and Messrs. Edmund L. Coombs and Philip S. Wilder. Bowdoin is a better place for their having given so much of themselves to the College.

Development and Alumni Concerns

During the last five years almost every office under the broad um- brella of the development program has undergone substantial change. Report of the President 9

In 1982, the News Service and the College Editor were linked to form one office now called Public Relations and Publications. The result has been a doubling of publications and news releases and a growing sensitivity to the needs of the various groups we must address. On campus, the office has become the clearing house for the collection and dissemination of information. Bowdoin's many constituencies are today better informed and, I hope, more conscious of the many strands and common concerns that hold us together. Having successfully joined two related operations, we then sepa- rated two others with, I believe, equally good results. The editor of the Alumni Magazine and the director of alumni relations became two different people. Soon after the separation, the magazine won a national award for excellence, and the alumni office was promoting more club activities in a larger number of cities than ever before. During the past year, we have further increased our commitment to alumni by adding an assistant director to the alumni office and by producing specialized newsletters to alumni in California and New York City, an experiment that has received many favorable reviews. In early June, the alumni office and the offices of the Bowdoin Alumni Magazine and affiliated periodicals were moved to Cram Alumni House. Now for

the first time Cram House is a true center of alumni activities, open

to all alumni and friends on a daily basis. Fund raising has not been without changes either. With an increased concern about proper stewardship of an ever increasing number of donors, we established in 1983 a new office called Secretary of the

College, and appointed Robert M. Cross '45 to fill that important role. This office has permitted the College to reply to every donor in a thoughtful way that might otherwise not have been possible. The Secretary of the College also serves as a liaison to widows, the Old Guard, and other close friends of Bowdoin, and does so in a manner which can only be described as typically Bowdoin—a touch we hope never to lose. The newly organized Association of Bowdoin Friends has sponsored numerous events, attracting hundreds of people for dinners, plays, concerts, lectures, and trips. Members are presently working with the Dean of Students to develop a program to ease the adjustment of foreign students in their first year at the College. An adjunct group has just completed the first year of a Friends Fund, raising approximately $21,000 for the College. Of this, over $20,000 was raised by a special committee of volunteers to upgrade the sound system in Day- ton Arena. io Report of the President

Parents have also been active, assisting the College in career counseling, in admissions, and in fund raising. Last year the Parents As-

sociation contributed $127,463, all of it earmarked to match the Dana Foundation grant that added four new members to the faculty. So vigorous has the leadership of that group been that its financial support to the College has more than doubled in five years. The Alumni Fund, a winner last year of the coveted U.S. Steel/ C.A.S.E. award for sustained excellence, has done far more than just

sustain its excellence. Prior to entering into the capital campaign in the fall of 1984, we determined that with hard work we could increase the level of Alumni Fund giving to $1.4 million of spendable money

and hold it there for the duration of the campaign. There were those

who said it couldn't be done, but it was! Alumni came through with such enthusiasm and appreciation for the purpose of the fund, that

the first year the fund reached nearly $1.6 million and the second year,

just completed, over $1.8 million. That is a remarkable tribute to our alumni, for only five years ago the comparable figure was $670,000.

As for the capital campaign, I have found that my kickoff-weekend jog down Whittier Field with Joan Benoit Samuelson '79 was only the beginning of my running. The first year of the campaign saw Polly and me visiting alumni from coast to coast, with speaking engage- ments at over forty Bowdoin clubs. During the past two years, I have been soliciting alumni, members of the Governing Boards, parents, and friends, and presenting the case for Bowdoin to numerous foun-

dations and corporations. In this effort, I have been aided by hundreds of volunteers, from William H. Hazen '52, who chairs the campaign, to many other alumni and friends who serve on the various committees of the campaign. Their good work has produced a success story that

is still building. Bowdoin appears to be further along toward reaching

its goal than any of its peer institutions have been at a comparable time in their campaigns; we can be nothing but optimistic. When we head around the last corner of the capital campaign in 1989, we will see not only continued support by key reunion classes for special projects, and by alumni, parents, and friends for annual giving, but also we will actually see substantially increased support. We

now envision a $ 3 million dollar annual fund and 2 5 th and 5 oth reunion gifts that will set a standard for others to match. This expectation seems justified by the enthusiasm of our younger alumni, who are already making their mark on Bowdoin with a commitment equal to those of the many classes before them—and that is Bowdoin's great strength. 1

Report of the President 1

Bowdoin alumni are not simply the product of the College; they are the future of the College—and right now that future looks very bright indeed. When Time Magazine did an article on capital campaigns in the fall of 1984, its headline read, "When the going gets tough, the tough get fund raising." The article then stated—"Bowdoin College in Bruns- wick, Maine. ..." Whether it be Time Magazine, the New York Times, the "Today Show," Newsweek, U.S. News and World Report, or the Chroniclefor Higher Education, Bowdoin has had a fair share ofthe public relations market. This publicity is important, externally and even in- ternally, and is one barometer of the vitality of an institution as perceived by those we seek to reach for students and for financial support.

Our success in gaining national attention has been exemplary and is a direct reflection of the quality and vigor of Bowdoin and of the efforts of those charged with telling our story. We shall continue to be ag- gressive in telling about Bowdoin, so that Bowdoin will continue to be recognized as the outstanding liberal arts institution that it is.

Student Concerns

Student concerns beyond the classroom are many and varied; responsibility for helping students to engage them constructively and effectively lies largely with the Dean of Students and the Dean of the College. Some of these concerns, such as lectures and concerts, are essentially cocurricular, for they augment and complement the curriculum. Others, like team sports and the Outing Club, though they unquestionably provide good learning experiences, are largely recreational and extracurricular. Still other concerns, such as the Health Center and the Career Counseling Office, are essentially service- related, providing help to students in various facets of their private lives. In the course of the past five years, all of these concerns have been addressed with increased resources and occasionally additional staff. Bowdoin, after all, is a residential college, and in its residential life it seeks to give expression to the values that underlie its liberal arts curriculum.

Students first encounter these institutional concerns during freshman orientation when advisors, other members of the faculty and administration, and upperclassmen introduce them to the academic offerings of the College and to the other programs available to them. At this time there are trips to various places in Maine, an introduction to fraternities and other organizations and the opportunities they pro- 2

1 Report of the President vide, and talks on the activities that shape the College year. Students learn about the honor system, and they participate in discussion groups on drug abuse, alcohol, sexual harassment, and racism. Since the fail- ings of our society inevitably surface from time to time here, we are anxious that students be well informed as to what the facts are and what the College expects of its students.

One important resource is the Health Center. The College physician, a physician assistant, a nurse practitioner with a specialty in gyne- cology, and the newly appointed director of counseling are involved in an ever-expanding health education program. Most helpful last year was a series of seminars and lectures on the use and abuse of alcohol, on stress, and on sexuality.

Quite another kind of service is provided by the Career Counseling Office. Three counselors—with specialties in education, business and the professions, and graduate opportunities—are available. The office provides information on scholarships for graduating seniors and on summer jobs for underclassmen, and also offers a series of workshops on how to get a job. Almost all seniors, and about a third of sopho- mores and juniors, use the Career Counseling Office. Especially helpful has been the creation recently of the Young Alumni Advisory Com- mittee, a network of some 5 00 young graduates who augment the regular network of alumni.

It is during orientation that students and faculty begin to know one another. Some alumni, I think, believe that student-faculty relations stop here, and that the relationship that faculty and students once enjoyed through fraternities no longer really exists. In fact, a few faculty members still remain active with fraternity advising, although most prefer to counsel students in their offices. What is not so readily understood is that faculty and students still see a great deal of each other. A number of faculty members lunch daily with students in Wentworth Hall, some at random and others at special weekly "tables" in Russian, Spanish, French, German, and Italian. The Paracelsus So- ciety and the Kamerling Society regularly bring teachers in the sciences and their students together over lunch. The receptions that often follow lectures and concerts find the college community together, too, as do a number of athletic events. Outing Club trips seem invariably to include faculty. I should also mention the large number of independent study projects undertaken annually by over two hundred students, for they bring faculty and students together in a very special 3

Report of the President 1 way that is right for a liberal arts campus, and a number of these relationships, both social and intellectual, have endured.

Important to understanding student life at Bowdoin today is the Report of the Commission on Student Life prepared in 1983 by a widely representative committee under the chairmanship of Trustee Frederick G. P. Thorne '57. The report led to seventeen recommendations for enriching undergraduate life. They pertained to making dormitories more social places, to relieving the strained capacity of dining halls, to appointing a Student Activities Coordinator to assist student groups, to enlarging the Moulton Union further, and to study- ing the impact of demographic trends on admissions. An important section of the Thorne report was devoted to fraternities. Noting that fraternities "can play a useful role in the social and cocurricular life of the College," the commission went on to express its concern about the poor physical condition ofa number of the houses and about the decline in the quality of dining at "most" houses. It was recommended that the College set standards in both respects and make clear the consequences to houses that fail to achieve these standards in a reasonable time. More important, the College agreed to assist the houses in every way possible, including the granting of loans. When the report was issued, a small group of alumni concerned about fraternities and anxious to assist their houses came forward to ask if they might work in cooperation with the administration to address these problems. The offer was gratefully accepted, and thus began a serious alumni effort to assist fraternities. Initially progress was good, but as leadership among the houses changed, as private funds for improvements became harder to obtain, and as some tension developed between the administration and the fraternity alumni over the need for regular reports and inspections, progress slowed. In general the condition of the houses and the quality of dining in them have improved. A few houses have engaged constructively the intellectual and social concerns of the College. More can and will be done, and so fraternities will continue to be a concern of both alumni and deans. Other aspects of student life strike me as remarkably vigorous. Tom Stoppard, Meredith Monk, Alex Haley, and Dith Pran have been among our guest lecturers. Interest in study away programs remains high as some 190 students last year selected from over 125 approved programs. Among them was our own program in Sri Lanka, which we sponsor in cooperation with five other colleges. A similar consor- —

14 Report of the President tium now makes study possible in China. In the midst of such exotic programs, the Twelve College Exchange, now in its sixteenth year, continues to flourish. The athletic program also reflects the interests of a diverse and active student body. Today Bowdoin boasts (and labors to support) fourteen men's teams and fourteen women's teams. Two others, sailing and golf, are coeducational. The women of the 1980s are as interested in sports as the men are, and just as excited by competition. Staff, facilities, and athletic budgets have been reworked to accommodate this wide interest, and every effort has been made to put women's teams on an equal footing with men's. Today thirteen full-time coaches and three trainers, with various part-time assistants, oversee not only our varsity programs but a number of intramural leagues and activities as diverse as aerobics and fly tying. Inevitably some teams stand out, and on the whole our competitive record has been good, but the chief value of our programs lies, as it should, in the pleasure of participation. This pleasure will be enhanced by the new athletic facility now being built, a project initiated through the generosity of William F. Farley '64. Whether students have come to us with interests in sports, in music, in art, or in any of the recreational and cultural accomplishments that enrich our lives, they must also come to us well qualified academically. The responsibility for seeing that they do lies with the Admissions

Office. A strong class is possible, however, only when the applicant pool is large, a difficult objective in times when the teenage population is declining. In 1983, the Director of Admissions returned from a special study leave with recommendations for keeping Bowdoin's applications high. The staff was enlarged, travel budgets were increased, and the role of BASIC was expanded. A professional staff of seven, augmented by ten senior interviewers, this year saw over 3,500 applications for a class of 3 8 5 , thus ensuring a diverse class in which the students would find themselves interesting to one another. Our commitment to Maine students continues, for about eighteen percent of each class—with almost thirty-five percent of the scholarship aid comes from Maine. As for legacies, our acceptance rate of alumni sons and daughters is more than twice our acceptance rate for other applicants. We are less successful in recruiting minority students, although we work at it as a desirable end in itself and as important educationally for all Bowdoin students. This fall we are seeking foundation support for a novel recruitment program that we believe will in the long run be effective. Report of the President 15

The wisdom of admissions decisions is attested to by the fact that less than ten percent of our students fail to graduate, a remarkably good record nationally. In spite of this performance, some faculty members feel that the selection process should put greater stress on academic performance. Their concern will be on the agenda of the Admissions Committee this year. Our good admissions record also reflects our generous student aid policy. Except for one year in the last ten, students have been accepted without regard to financial need and then funded as necessary. Ap- proximately thirty-five percent of each class has scholarship assistance from Bowdoin. Such a policy is expensive, but it means that our best applicants are admitted. A review of the policy is currently underway with every hope that we can continue to fund scholarship aid at a high level and thus provide a Bowdoin education to those best prepared to benefit from it.

Financial Concerns

Highlights of the past five years reveal a steadily improving financial condition. This subject, of course, is best studied in detail by reading the Financial Report and the Price Waterhouse audited financial statements, both published and distributed in the late fall of the year. The highlights that follow include only preliminary data for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1986. The assets of the College and the fund balances have grown substantially. The operating revenues and expenditures have also shown a marked increase as the College has grown in complexity and scope.

The one area in which the College has not improved its financial condition is in the balance of expendable, unrestricted funds. (Preliminary) ($ in thousands) 1981-82 1982-8) 1983-84 1984-8) 198J-86 Assets (as of 6\p\86)

1 Report of the Vresident

The major asset change is in the growth of the market value of the portfolio. In 1986 the value for the first time exceeded $100 million the result of external market conditions, an excellent investment program, and new dollars coming in from the capital campaign.

The display on page 1 5 summarizes asset growth over the past five years. In the fund balances display below we see how unrestricted expendable funds have steadily declined since 1981. During that time the College has invested heavily in physical plant and in the eradication of deferred maintenance and has thus drawn down the unrestricted fund balances. Only now as cash from the capital campaign begins to flow in and as the success of the Alumni Fund continues is there an opportunity to reverse that trend.

Increased income from the revised Alumni Fund, the capital campaign, and expanded summer use of the campus has further added to revenues. The major reason for tuition increases rests upon the costs associ- ated with a Bowdoin education. Those costs, excepting new buildings and facilities, and equipment, and a few new programs are driven primarily by salaries and wages for faculty and staff. An undergraduate liberal arts Bowdoin education is a labor-intensive affair. Compensa- tion for faculty, professional staff, and key support personnel has been 6 7

We have ensured that we are appropriately competitive and that we are fair to our staff. At Bowdoin, as at all colleges, this means that the cost of education has been climbing faster than general inflation. This is clearly seen below in Educational and General costs per student, which have gone from $10,500 to an estimated $16,200.

The high cost of energy in prior years and the high cost of insurance in the current year have had a significant impact. Policy matters also 8

1 Report of the President influence costs. The most important by far is Bowdoin's scholarship program, which awards aid to all students in need.

It is a complex set of costs, which respond rather differently from those for businesses. In some cases, response to competitive pressure is the inverse of what one might expect. For example, excellence in the classroom usually means more—not fewer—faculty. And so at a time when one might like to trim back costs, Bowdoin has, in fact, made additions to the faculty.

A full discussion of Bowdoin's investment programs is beyond the scope of this report, but the three displays that follow provide a useful historical view of the portfolio and its performance over several years. As budgets grow substantially, and building programs demand much of our senior staff time and energy, it is clear that more sophis- ticated budgeting and planning tools and systems will be needed. In fact, the College has already begun to develop them. A senior manager will soon be hired to begin pulling the diverse elements together. The end result will be to challenge much of what we now do and how we do it. Efficiency of systems and effective data for analysis and control will lead to better-managed growth and to the containment, wherever possible, of operating costs. A slowing of the growth in tuition could be one result. An increase in unrestricted fund balances could be another. If the investment program of the future comes to play a larger supporting role in the operating budget of the College, it may be necessary to redefine the spending formula. A more fundamental matter will be to evaluate the College's attitude toward long-term investment appreciation and its role in supporting Bowdoin's operating and capital budgets. The first step will be to reexamine the intertwined relationships of investment strategies, asset-mix decisions, and multiple-year operating and capital budgets. In general, Bowdoin's financial future will be the result of the ways we increase income and the ways we manage it. Both matters are currently under review by the administration and the appropriate committees of the Governing Boards. They are under review not because

Bowdoin Vfinancial picture is troubling and the future doubtful, but because we wish to continue and strengthen the sound financial base that underwrites a Bowdoin education. i

Concernsfor the Future

I cannot conclude this report without looking at several concerns that in the years immediately ahead will require our collective wisdom.

I list them in no special order.

1. Fraternities—Bowdoin's early policy of rejecting single- sex houses enabled women to enjoy immediately the social opportunities and responsibilities available to men. Not all houses have complied with the policy in word and spirit, however, and the results have been a separation from the campus, as in the case of Chi Psi, or a double standard, as in the case

last year of Theta Delta Chi. I fully appreciate the ideal of

choice. I am also painfully aware that women cannot actually join the national organization of most houses, and hence there

remains an inequity. For these reasons I believe our policy

should be under ongoing review, but at this time I believe

Bowdoin is best served by stressing equal opportunity, at least locally, in the historically strong and established fraternities. A well-run fraternity has much to offer, not only socially but in the important lessons of self-government and in the op-

portunities for friendship and service; all students should be invited to participate. Bowdoin's fraternities can do more, too, 22 Report of the President

to complement the curriculum in interesting ways and to main-

tain the quality of their buildings for future generations. I do not believe that students, alumni, or administrators can sep- arately see the fraternities through their difficulties, but to-

gether I believe we can.

2. Affirmative Action—No one perceives with any greater clarity than I do the irony that in an institution committed to

affirmative action the senior officers are all men. This year we shall have an opportunity to exercise our policy, for we shall be looking for at least a one-year replacement for the Dean of the Faculty, who will be on sabbatical leave in 1987-88, and a replacement for the Assistant Dean of the Faculty, whose term of office ends after three very helpful years. In other areas women have filled a number of significant roles including Di- rector of Alumni Relations, Associate Director of Public Re- lations and Publications, Director of the Arctic Museum, Di- rector of the Art Museum, Dean of Students, Editor of the Alumni Magazine, Director of the Breckinridge Public Affairs Center, Assistant Director of Career Services, Coordinator of Educational Programs and Placement, Director of Payroll Ser- vices, Assistant to the President, Registrar, and Director of Upward Bound. I am aware as we begin the academic year that only seven women are tenured out of 65 tenured faculty and that there

1 3 . are 29 women on a teaching faculty of 1 Of the seven tenured women, five have received tenure within the past five years; in the present assistant professor rank, in positions leading to a tenure review, over 40 percent (17 of 40) are women, so the prospects for a greater balance in the tenured ranks in the fu-

ture are bright. It has only been in the past few years that retirements and the creation of new positions through the capital campaign have provided the opportunity for new appointments and have tested the effectiveness of our affirmative action program. Success in attracting women as candidates for appointments and in hiring the best candidates has resulted from serious and energetic attention to affirmative action in recruiting by academic departments and the administration, but success has been limited in those academic disciplines —especially the sciences—in which women are under- represented nationally. Our efforts will continue in all disci- ..

Report of the President 2 3 plines, and as we find or create opportunities, we will actively seek women to fill senior appointments.

3 Social Action—In my last Convocation address I reviewed the history of Bowdoin's wrestling with apartheid and the vote of the Governing Boards last May to divest if substantial progress toward enfranchising blacks in South Africa has not been made by May of 1987. Although I supported that vote, I cau- tioned the students that a college cannot go on adopting policies directed at social action without endangering its unique institutional role as a market place for ideas, for free and open discussion untrammeled by dogma from without or political actions from within. Whether new issues will surface on which some people would have the College adopt a political policy

I do not know, but I would argue for much caution if we are to be true to our special nature as a college.

4. Science Building—Our capital campaign is going well, and, as I have noted, we shall certainly raise $56 million. Whether we shall have in hand sufficiently flexible funds to build the badly needed science facility remains to be seen. An excellent committee is proceeding, with architectural aid, to plan this resource, and its recommendations will be helpful in raising further funds. The effort required to carry out this venture though, will be large, and I say so now, not to dampen hopes, but to encourage the hard work and generous responses necessary to do the job.

5 Tuition Charges—No discussion of future concerns should omit the escalating cost of tuition—here and everywhere. One goal of Bowdoin's capital campaign is to increase endowment so that endowment income can ease the pressure on tuition. Reduced inflation will help, too. Within the operating budget, however, there are few options. Academic fields call for increasingly greater technical aid through the computer, television, and other teaching tools, yet these aids do not lead to greater efficiency; their role is to enrich and enlarge. Colleges today offer many counseling services and a great variety of extracurricular and cocurricular opportunities, all largely the result of student and parental interest. To the extent that we are consumer-oriented, we are costly.

I do not pretend to have any special wisdom in addressing 24 Report of the President

this concern that plagues all educators. We are all aware that the schools with higher fees are perceived as offering more. In the private sector, reputation almost tracks tuition. In the

midst of such pressures, holding the line is difficult. I do not

see it happening easily or readily, but I do believe that increases will moderate. That they do should be a concern of Bowdoin.

In concluding this report, I find much comfort in knowing that Bowdoin as an educational institution maintains its strengths because those who study and teach here and those who govern and support this College are committed to the importance of the liberal arts. We believe that the liberal arts ennoble our own lives and that they fit us well to serve others. The issues my report addresses are worth addressing only because they in turn make possible these larger ends.

Respectfully submitted, A. LeRoy Greason

He joined the faculty in 1934 and was named the Pickard Professor in 1952, a position he held until his retirement in 1969. In 26 Report of the President

1968 he was awarded the James Flack Norris Award for Excellence in the Teaching of Chemistry, the top national teaching honor in his field. The Bowdoin Alumni Council honored him in 1967 with the Award for Faculty and Staff. In addition to his teaching duties, Pro- fessor Kamerling advised premedical students, coordinated summer programs and institutes supported by the National Science Founda- tion, and was active in town affairs.

He is survived by his wife, Helen Hawes Kamerling; and two daughters, Mary K. Allyn of South Hadley, Massachusetts, and Clara K. Flower of Bangor.

James Malcolm Moulton, B.S., A.M., Ph.D., the George Lincoln

Skolfield Professor of Biology Emeritus, died May 4, 1986. He grad- uated in 1947 from the University of Massachusetts and received his graduate degrees from Harvard. Prior to joining the faculty in 1952, Professor Moulton taught at Williams College, Harvard and Brown Universities, and the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He received Fulbright and Guggenheim scholarships, allowing him to study at the

University of Queensland, Australia, in 1 960 and 1 96 1 . During World War II he was a transport pilot with the Troop Carrier Command, Fifth Air Force, in the Southwest Pacific and was made a member of the Goldfish Club by virtue of his having survived a night ditching at sea in combat. Professor Moulton studied and wrote extensively in the field of biological oceanography and was a member of various biological societies in the United States and Great Britain. In 1978 his wife of twenty-nine years, Hope Isabel Kibbe, died. In 1979 he married A. Sheila Turnbull Rhaney who survives him. He is also survived by a daughter, Nancy Elliott, of East Lyme, Connecticut; two sons, John^ of Bath, and James of Bowdoin; and two stepchildren, Robin Rhaney and Mrs. W.

To the President of Bowdoin College: I have the honor of submitting the following reportfor theyear 198J-1986.

PERHAPS the most significant project for the library this past year came about in preparation for the reaccreditation team's visit this fall. The Faculty Committee on the Library circulated a questionnaire to the members of the faculty, asking them to give their percep- tions of the library's programs and services. The response from about half of the faculty yielded some very useful insights into the users' view of the library. The committee spent a good deal oftime discussing the responses with members of the library staff. Their Annual Report to the Faculty summarizes their evaluation of the responses.

The committee shared the results of the questionnaire with the library staff. Though most of the comments on the questions raised in the survey gave the library gratifyingly high marks, it was the negative comments that drew most of the staff's attention. The criticisms fall into two categories: those based on the lack of information or on misinformation and those that call for changes in policies and procedures, or at least a significant shift in emphasis. The former can and will be addressed by providing the faculty, especially those new to the College, with a description of available services and procedures and their limitations. The staff intends to have this material assembled and distributed in time for the beginning of the fall term. The latter cannot so easily or directly be answered. The quality and quantity of the collections, for example, cannot be readily changed, nor can limited services be expanded without a concomitant expansion of the staff and/or the implementation of major changes in the mechanics that support library services. To respond to the limitations revealed by the faculty survey and to others perceived by themselves, the staff will undertake a self-study that will identify problem areas and find solutions to them. The study,

in which the entire staff is involved along with faculty and students

where possible, will include evaluation of the collection as it relates to the curriculum, staffing and space needs, organizational structure,

budget preparation, and future developments that will affect the li-

brary's ability to meet its responsibility in the execution of the College's educational mission. The staff has also begun to develop, in conjunction with the Bates 82 Report of the Librarian and Colby libraries, detailed plans and specifications for a jointly- owned and -maintained automated library system. The system, when it is implemented, will not only bring the efficiencies of automation to the individual library communities, but it will also make possible the sharing of resources on a scale now beyond reach. Shared responsibility in collection development will permit each library to build on its strength and relieve the others from acquiring materials that dilute rather than add strength to their collections. The task of planning for the project is not an easy one, and it requires a great deal of time and effort. Planning for the science library that will be part of the new science complex also requires a good deal of attention. A general description of the facility was included in last year's Report and need not be re- peated here, except to point out that the online catalog which will be provided through the library automation project will make the construction of a separate catalog for the facility unnecessary, at a saving of between $100,000 and $150,000. It will also provide an efficient ready-made circulation system. The importance of including the library in the early phases of the construction cannot be over- emphasized. Without a unified collection in a library, space for the departmental collections will have to be provided in the facility, and the inefficiencies and annoyances of scattered and badly cared for collections will continue for the indefinite future. With the advent of powerful microcomputers, a number of vendors have developed small software packages that automate certain library functions such as serials control and acquisitions. For a modest price, the library will this summer implement a serials control system that will greatly enhance the efficiency of tracking periodical subscriptions. It will handle check-in, subscription renewal, fund control, binding, and, best of all, promptly identify issues not received so that they can be claimed in time. With the prospect of a fully automated library system which would include serials control still at least five years away, the cost of the system amortized over five years is very reasonable. A search is underway for a good system that can handle acquisitions. The multiple files on which the existing manual system relies make the system very slow and very much limit the kind of information available regarding outstanding orders. It is also very difficult to identify overdue orders so that they can be claimed before the books go out-of-print. Such systems are available, but it takes time to find the one that best fits the library's requirements at an affordable cost. Report of the Librarian 83

With the retirement of Aaron Weissman, who had served the Col- lege well as circulation librarian and as assistant librarian, came changes in staff responsibilities. Judith Montgomery became the as-

sistant librarian, with responsibility for all operations relating to periodicals, as well as the general duties of the librarian's deputy. John Ladley took over public services, which includes circulation and reference services. Sydnae Steinhart, as a part-time reference librarian, handles the reference desk four evenings each week when the College is in session and helps with database searching and interlibrary loans. Lynda Willis took Ms. Montgomery's place in the catalog department. Laura McCourt spends half of her time on circulation matters and half on interlibrary loan transactions, while Muriel Mehlhorn has responsibility for reserved reading. Growth in both interlibrary loan activity and in the utilization of database searches indicate that more support

staff is needed to keep up with the demand. Students provide invaluable help, but too often their studies prevent them from giving the necessary hours to the library when they are most badly needed.

Special Collections continues to be a vital and busy part of the library. Three hundred and fourteen individuals used the collections, calling for 254 volumes and 767 boxes and volumes of manuscript and archival materials. The staff answered 202 written enquiries, supplying users with 1,93 5 photocopies in response. They also provided general

1,746 pages of photocopies. Of the 3 14 users, 138 were Bowdoin Col- lege students, 36 were members of the Bowdoin College faculty and staff, and 140 were outside researchers. One hundred and sixty-two 84 Keport of the Librarian

volumes new to the collections were added, and a number of manuscript collections, including a large collection of Dean Nixon's chapel talks, were added. The staff displayed three traveling collections during the year and prepared several exhibits drawn from the collections. These included John James Audubon: A Commemorative Exhibit, Selections from the McKim, Mead & White Portfolios, Fifty Years: The Class of 1936, Pres- idential Autographs in Special Collections, and a very exceptional exhibit of Hawthorne material, prepared especially for the Hawthorne scholars who attended the Bowdoin Conference of the Nathanial Haw- thorne Society. Five other minor exhibits were prepared to mark special events during the year.

In closing this report, on a personal note I must pay special tribute to Judy Montgomery who has absorbed her new duties with great good will and efficiency and to the many members of the staff who

have continued to serve the College well. I trust that few users of the library could detect any diminution of library services despite the staff changes. It would have been a difficult year without the counsel and support of Dean of the Faculty Alfred Fuchs and the Faculty Com- mittee on the Library under the chairmanship of James Ward.

Respectfully submitted, Arthur Monke Report of the Director, College Museum

To the President ofBowdoin College: I have the honor of submitting the following reportfor theyear 198J-1986.

FEBRUARY 1, 1987, marks the anniversary of a decade of my service to Bowdoin College as director of the Museum of Art. For that reason, this year's report will be a survey of museum activities from my arrival in February 1977, and next year's report will describe plans for the future. The most significant achievements have been the initiation and progress of projects for the collections, including conservation, climate control, registration, research, and publication; the enrichment of outreach programming; the growth of the College's support through the operating budget and increased staff; the expansion of endowment; and the establishment of autonomy for the Peary- MacMillan Arctic Museum. Recognition for these achievements must go to the College's administration, chiefly the president and the dean of the faculty; to the Gov- erning Boards, whose generosity and continuing endorsement have provided the basis for growth; and to the museum staff, whose professional excellence and creative energies are the source for ideas and their implementation. In addition, members of the College and community have contributed their individual expertise, often through the Museum Volunteers Association, to assist in realizing the great potential of the museum.

To all these collaborators, I wish to express my continuing grati- tude. Your participation and encouragement, joining helpful criticism and gracious praise, are essential. One of the principal tasks of the staff during these years has been to write a statement of the purposes for which the museum exists.

Documents from as early as 1 8 1 1 describing the acquisition of the art collections and the intentions of donors were reviewed. The Statement of Purpose, in part quoted from the dedication address for the opening of the Walker Art Building in 1894, was presented to and approved by the Committee on Academic Affairs of the Governing Boards in 1983.

The highest priority described in the purpose statement is care of

the collections. Evidence of this commitment is the museum's found- 86 Keport of the Director, College Museum ing membership in 1977 in the Williamstown Regional Art Conser- vation Laboratory, Inc. With the staff, laboratory conservators sur- veyed the collection for treatment needs at that time. This process was followed by annual applications for funding assistance from the Na- tional Endowment for the Arts. In each of the past nine years, the museum has received a grant. For two years, awards have also been received from the Institute of Museum Services' Conservation Pro- gram. Funds in each case have been matched by the College. Environmental control of the Walker Art Building continues to require serious consideration. A humidification system was added during the renovations of 197 5 -1976, but it was activated only in 1980. This system has achieved partial control, but high humidity during the summer remains a problem. A 1976 plan for new climate control equipment has been twice revised and rejected. Delays imposed by the need for additional research and the desire to protect the great McKim building resulted in the following decisions. Rather than installing at one time the heavy machinery and ductwork necessary for the tight control of temperature and humidity, a two-phase plan was initiated. This more cautious approach may reduce the size and cost ofthe system and the destruction of the building.

Phase I, to be completed in September 1986, includes construction of a climate-controlled storage area for prints, drawings, and decorative arts; the placement of screens and thermopaned, ultra-violet filtered glass in all windows; modification of skylights in the Bowdoin, Boyd, and Walker Galleries, including addition of insulation and light deflectors; installation of new track and canister lighting systems; and construction of an air-lock vestibule for the major entry.

Phase II, the installation of the dehumidification arid cooling systems, will take place only after a full year of monitoring the effects of

Phase I. A new engineering survey will follow as the necessary basis for a final set of plans for climate control. This two-part approach has the support of the National Endowment for the Arts, which awarded funds in 1985 for the completion of Phase I. That sum was matched on a three-to-one basis by a generous gift from the John H. Halford, Sr., Life Income Agreement.

Phase I of climate control could not have been completed without tremendous effort on the part of the College's physical plant staff. They have also removed trees, replaced windows, torn down ceilings, and dug up terraces in their attempts to resolve leaks caused by the 1975- Report of the Director, College Museum 87

1976 renovations. The brick exterior has been entirely repointed and cleaned; the grounds have been meticulously maintained and are being replanted. The walls of the rotunda and galleries have been either repainted or recovered. The effective collaboration of the physical

plant staff with the museum staff is very much appreciated. Collections inventory, maintenance, and insurance coverage are being simultaneously simplified and accelerated by the introduction and development of a computerized management program. A process of collections appraisal and photography has been underway for three

years. Registration forms for object files have been revised and expanded. Research and publication of the permanent collections and cata- logues and brochures for temporary exhibitions have continued the museum's tradition of fine printing. The Handbook of the Collections was completed in 198 1. Old Master Drawings at Bowdoin College followed four years later. The museum Newsletter, which appears three times a

year, was initiated in 1 980. A third Occasional Paper, the first to appear in eleven years, is being distributed. A guide to the architecture of

Bowdoin College is in press. Temporary exhibition publications from the museum include Trea- suresfrom Near Eastern Looms and The Haystack Tradition: Art in Craft Media of 1981, Winslow Homer Watercolors of 1983, Alex Kat%: An

Exhibition Featuring Worksfrom the Collection of Paul J. Schupj'of 1985, and Yvonne Jacquette: Tokyo Nightviews of 1986. Expanded interpretive labels have been added to the displays of the permanent collections. Students, staff members, volunteers, and scholars have accelerated research on art objects for gallery talks, publications, and courses. Collections statements are being prepared for each collection held by the College; those for photography and decorative arts have been completed. These statements outline the strengths and needs of each collection and provide guidelines for the acquisition of new works. The formation of a Director's Advisory Committee on collection management has been approved by the administration; members are being appointed. The number of works of art given to or purchased for the collections during the past ten years has been significant. The greatest area of growth has been the graphic arts, including old master and modern prints, drawings, and photographs, but major acquisitions have been 88 Report of the Director, College Museum made in all media. Loan requests received from other institutions have doubled. The Museum Associates Program, founded in 1961, has been integrated into the Association of Bowdoin Friends, which now totals over 1,500 members. The volunteer program has been evaluated, re- structured, and expanded to meet the growing needs of the museum and the community. Bowdoin students are brought into the museum through museum courses and student assistance and work study programs. The staffhas chosen new inventory for the museum shop drawn from the permanent collections; sales have quadrupled. The operating budget awarded for museum operations has grown consistently. Staff salaries once drawn from state and federal grants are now fully supported by the College. Outreach activities have been enriched. An average of four major exhibitions has been scheduled a year; as many as sixteen smaller shows have been organized for the John A. and Helen P. Becker and Twen- tieth Century Galleries. Within financial constraints, the staff has at- tempted to balance old favorites with very new challenges, provide a variety of media, and occasionally to teach the public about our work. Contemporary art continues as a major focus. For many summers, exhibitions have been staged in collaboration with the Maine Festival for the Arts. Major public lectures complement nearly every exhibition, and a new and vital program of gallery talks has been implemented. Work- shops on such subjects as conservation, rugs, and pewter, often ac- companying exhibitions, have been held for public benefit. The growth in programming has stemmed in part from collaboration with other departments and programs on campus: the dance performances directed by June A. Vail, director ofthe Dance Program, and held in the Walker Art Building each year; concerts both formal and informal, organized and often performed by members of the De- partment of Music; and the exhibitions and lectures done in collaboration with members of the Department of Art. Expanded programming and evidence of college support have en- couraged increased giving from the private sector, particularly from Bowdoin's alumni, and significant awards from federal and state agencies. Museum endowment has tripled with gifts for art purchase and conservation from anonymous donors, Adela Wood Smith, and Lloyd Report of the Director, College Museum 89

O. ('18) and Marjorie S. Coulter. Two recent anonymous gifts have opened a fund to establish the James Bowdoin III Directorship of the Museum of Art. Stevens L. Frost '42 has begun an endowment for art acquisition and/or general programming. In addition to federal grants for conservation, the museum has received six general operating support awards from the Institute of Mu- seum Services in the nine years of that agency's existence, and the Maine State Commission on the Arts provides an annual award which is generally applied to outreach programs. The Maine Historic Pres- ervation Commission has generously supported the writing of the guide to campus architecture. Another major development has been the establishment of administrative autonomy for the Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum, a sub- sidiary of the Museum of Art from 1972 until July 1, 1985. The appointment of Susan A. Kaplan as director of the Arctic Museum has permitted development of the rich potential of the collections as part ofthe new Arctic Studies Program. Credit for these achievements must go to the trustees of the Russell and Janet Doubleday Foundation, which has supported arctic museum operations for years; to members of the administration of the College, who have long recognized the importance of the collections; to the Museum Volunteers Association, which kept programming alive by organizing and presenting annual festivals and conducting tours for school children; to Miriam L.

MacMillan, for all of her assistance and support; and to Richard A. Condon, the curator/registrar, who, in two short years prior to the director's appointment, achieved remarkable success with care of collections and increased programming. Few small liberal arts colleges in the United States have on their campuses two such important museums. Two major needs persist: more space in the Walker Art Building and additional curatorial staff. There is a shortage of exhibition, storage, office, laboratory, receiving, shop, and work space. The art collections and reference and media resources are continually expanding, and space must be found to accommodate that growth. Another area of concern is that of curatorial staff; the collections are' virtually en- cyclopedic, yet there is only one curator. Inevitably, one dreams of special projects for 1994, the one- hundredth anniversary of the Walker Art Building and the bicenten- nial of the chartering of Bowdoin College. The natural conclusion to 90 Report of the Director, College Museum this report, in preparation for the anniversary, is an early request to the administration and Governing Boards for consideration of an addition to the building and expanded endowment for staff, collections care, acquisitions, and educational programming, including exhibitions and publications. A first step in reviewing such a request would be the appointment of a Centennial Committee for the Museum of Art.

Report of the Director, Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum and Arctic Studies Center

To the Vresident ofBowdoin College: I have the honor of submitting the following reportfor theyear 198j- 1986: THE Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum underwent major changes during the last year as a result of an increase in staff, the establishment of the Arctic Museum's administrative independence, and the incorporation of the museum's programs and goals with those of the newly created Arctic Studies Center. The administrative separation of the Museum of Art and The Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum was achieved in stages throughout the year. The fact that the transition proceeded so smoothly is due, in large part, to the cooperation of the Museum of Art staff and Dr. Katharine Watson. That the arctic pro-

gram has been able to grow so much in a year is also testament to the excellent care and attention the Arctic Museum and its collections received while under Museum of Art custody. The programs of the 1985- 1986 year reflect the diverse audiences serviced by this organization: college students, elementary school students, scholars, native Americans, and the general public and neigh- boring community. A number of these programs will be reviewed briefly. The museum and Arctic Studies Center hosted a year-long film and lecture series that included visits from Canadian, Scandinavian, and American arctic anthropologists, historians, and biologists. These visitors lectured in classes, met with arctic and environmental studies students, and delivered afternoon and evening lectures attended by the college community and the general public. A number of these visitors also conducted research in the museum's collections and in the Special Collections of the Hawthorne-Longfellow Library. The exhibition, The History ofArctic Photography, curated by Richard Condon, closed in mid-October having been viewed by 15,759 visitors. It was replaced by an exhibition of whale bone and soapstone Canadian Inuit carvings donated to the Arctic Museum by H. Dav- idson Osgood (Class of 1953). The History of Arctic Photography was refitted as a traveling exhibition. It was on view at Bard College for

six weeks in the spring and is now on display at the Nylander Museum in Caribou, Maine. The museum will circulate the exhibition through-

101 102 Peary-MacMiIIan A. rctic Museum out the state and to small communities in the Arctic as part of a new exhibition and education outreach program. The final major public program sponsored by the museum and Arc- tic Studies Center focused on elementary schools. A total of eighty- three Maine school groups used the museum to bolster units on arctic anthropology and biology. Approximately twenty-five volunteers provided these groups tours of the museum. This year we expanded our participation with schools when we conducted a pilot project in Brunswick's Jordan Acres fourth grade. We provided the teachers additional resources and lecturers for a two-month-long intensive unit on arctic ecology, geography, history, and anthropology. The pilot project was a tremendous success and other schools have expressed interest in building up their arctic programs and classroom resources. The staff and volunteers of the museum have begun developing self- contained teaching units and slide presentations based on the pilot project experience. We are planning on hosting two teacher workshops next year to answer the demand for our resources. Many of the museum's projects were carried out with the help of a dedicated and talented group of volunteers. Throughout the year they attended weekly training sessions conducted by the curator and my- self. During this time the museum participated jointly with the Mu- seum of Art in the Museum Volunteers Association. At the end of the year the Arctic Museum withdrew from the organization as part of the general separation of the programs and functions of the two museums. However, the museums continue to coordinate their training programs and many volunteers work in both institutions. College student involvement with the arctic programs began with course offerings in arctic anthropology and ecology, ancfNorth Amer- ican prehistory. A number of independent study and work-study projects involving college resources were completed and a few students joined archaeological crews working in the Arctic. In addition, the

Arctic Studies Center strengthened its association with a newly created consortium ofcolleges and universities with fledgling arctic programs. Bowdoin's participation as a founding institution in the consortium is significant, for we can help shape the nature of undergraduate training programs dealing with the Arctic while providing our students with an increased array of courses relating to social, economic, political, and environmental issues facing the north. Behind the scenes, the Arctic Museum staff was busy upgrading equipment, establishing new offices, expanding the inventory of Peary- MacMiIIan A retic Museum i o 3 materials carried in the museum shop, overseeing the installation of a new security system, researching several collection management systems, and dealing with major conservation concerns. These involve our historically and anthropologically invaluable—but fragile and unstable—still and motion picture film collections. I have reviewed the museum's collections as well as Arctic Studies Center resources. Bowdoin College's holdings contain some important unpublished treasures in the form of rare Eskimo drawings, original manuscripts and diaries, and photographic collections. However, we need to improve the quality of our artifact collections and fill some major gaps in our holdings. Upgrading the collections will increase their research and exhibition value. Therefore, I consider it significant that this year, for the first time, the Arctic Museum staff had two small acquisitions funds. They were made possible through the generosity of the Association of the Friends of Bowdoin and a fund established in memory of Meredith Jones, who was a loyal museum volunteer. The funds will provide the staff the opportunity to seek collections aggressively, permitting us to build systematically our collections. Assessment of the museum's displays revealed problems. The entire exhibition area of the museum will have to be redesigned. The cases and exhibit techniques that were state-of-the-art when the museum was established are, in fact, damaging the very objects they display. Light levels and daily temperature fluctuations in cases are particularly troublesome. Also, the built-in cases do not permit us to change exhibits with any ease. However, before we embark on so monumental a task as redoing the exhibitions we need to strengthen our artifact collections so we can upgrade the content of the displays. Next winter we will begin the celebration of our twentieth year in existence. A series of exhibitions, lectures, and events planned for the year will both pay tribute to the Arctic researchers Admiral Robert E. Peary, Admiral Donald MacMillan, and Captain Robert Bartlett and focus on recent research and contemporary issues involving the Arctic. While acknowledging the accomplishments of those who came before us, we must establish The Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum and Arctic Studies Center as a forward looking organization training people to develop and carry out intelligent policies and programs in the north. My first year at Bowdoin has been a busy one, indeed, sometimes a rather hectic one. We have taken positive steps toward the profes- sionalization of the museum and its staff and have established an in- io4 Peary-MacMiIIan Arctic Museum terest in arctic studies among undergraduates at the College. Arctic scholars are becoming increasingly aware of our resources, as are native leaders. Also, I am pleased with the services we are providing the Maine community. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my staff for their patience, help, and hard work. And I would like to thank you, the rest of the administration, and the alumni for the strong support of Bow- doin's arctic programs.
