Report of the President 1972-1973

BOWDOIN COLLEGE BRUNSWICK, MAINE

Report of the President

To the Trustees and Overseers of Bowdoin College: I have the honor to submit the following report for the academic year 1972-1973.

The Financial Situation IT seems almost inevitable that presidential reports begin with a discussion of the financial situation of the College. It is there- fore a happy circumstance which enables me to say that the Col- lege is stronger today in a financial sense than it has been for many years. The fact that the College experienced operating deficits for a decade was a cause of great concern to all members of the college community, and this circumstance, coupled with the widely circulated and gloomy financial projections of the Carnegie Com- mission and the Association of American Colleges, has tended in recent years to cast a sense of foreboding over the financial sections of this report. At this time last year I noted that the College would enter the current year with a budget that projected a very modest excess of revenue over expenditure. It is absolutely clear at this point that the aim of a balanced budget will be achieved when the books are closed on the 1972-1973 financial year. In fact, there is every indication that the surplus of revenue will be substantially greater than was projected when the budget was submitted a year ago. The Committee on Policy has approved the establishment of two reserve funds, one to cope with deferred maintenance occasioned by our austerity program, the other for student loans, an area in which we have relied heavily on federal assistance, the future of which is now quite uncertain.

Successful balancing of the budget is, in my opinion, the most notable achievement of the past year. That achievement was made possible by the concern and hard work of all sectors of the college community. Administrative and board action alone cannot solve budgetary difficulties. A solution requires the cooperation and suggestions of faculty members, students, and alumni. I would like to pay special tribute to the work of the Governing Boards Com- mittee on Investments. Their imaginative and aggressive concern for the management of the College's portfolio has produced excellent results. The rate of return which has been achieved compares very favorably with the standard indices, and the committee has done a skillful job of meeting the College's two potentially diver- 4 Bowdoin College gent needs, that for current income and that for future growth. I would also like to commend the Faculty-Student Committee on Budgetary Priorities for its continuing efforts. To be sure, not all of its recommendations have been followed in the final compilation of the budget, but the majority have been, and the committee continues to play an important advisory role in financial affairs. Balancing the budget in a given year is a worthy accomplish- ment in itself. But it would have relatively small significance, were it not part of a long-term development. It is encouraging to note that the budget for 1973-1974 being submitted to the Governing Boards at their June meeting anticipates an excess of revenue over expenditure by a margin that is somewhat less precarious than was the case with the current year's budget. Moreover, it has been possible to build into next year's budget an increased con- tingency line. This is reassuring in the face of continued inflationary pressures, for it seems certain that the next year will see sharp rises in a number of areas. The College has the firm intention of operating within a balanced budget in the foreseeable future. However, I would caution against any easy optimism based on our experience of this year alone. Every major national study of the financial situation of higher education has stressed one main point, that the so-called new depression in higher education is not a short-term manifestation but a long-term one. The pressures causing rising educational costs will continue, and the Col- lege must be prepared to maintain continually the same searching scrutiny of its budgetary situation as has characterized recent years. Balancing the budget can have its costs, as well. In great part, the achievement of fiscal balance has come as the result of an increase in the student body while the size of faculty and staff has remained frozen. This has meant, in turn, an increase in the aver- age size of classes. I do not feel that the alterations in the faculty- student ratio have to this point eroded the quality of instruction at Bowdoin. Nor have they altered the fact that there are a wide variety of course types at the College, ranging from one-on-one tutorials to large lecture courses. In order to afford the capacity for individualized instruction it is necessary that there should be some large courses. Nor does it follow that the quality of teaching in the larger courses is less impressive than in the smaller ones. Some subjects, in fact, are more effectively taught in the larger context than they are in the individual tutorial. Yet there obviously can come a point when the alteration of the faculty-student Report of the President 5 ratio will begin to affect the quality of the Bowdoin experience in an adverse way. At that point, attempting to solve budgetary problems by further changes in the ratio may be self-defeating, for the price of survival under such circumstances will be declining quality. Thus the College must be prepared to look to other methods, as well, to guarantee future budgetary balance. One such method is obviously to raise tuition. Since college costs are already very high, I have felt that a tuition increase should be the last expedient one resorts to. Bowdoin has been fortunate in holding its cost at approximately the same level since 1971. It will, however, be necessary to make an upward adjustment during the three years, 1974 to 1976. I am requesting from the Governing Boards authorization to make a tuition increase of up to $600 during that period, the annual increments to be determined by the economic necessity in any given year. In seeking this authorization, I am conscious of the fact that Bowdoin, as expensive as it seems, is at present charging less than almost all of its fellow colleges in New England. Just as other institutions have felt and responded to inflationary pressures, so must we.

175th Anniversary Program

Budgetary considerations were, of course, much in the minds of those who planned the College's 175th Anniversary Campaign Program. Officially announced at the Alumni Day celebrations last fall after months of planning, this program is the most ambitious fund-raising effort ever undertaken by the College. In seeking to raise $14.5 million in the first three years and $38 million over a decade, the campaign is designed to assure that Bowdoin main- tains the front-running position it has achieved. The campaign has been launched at a time when the College is in a strong position, and it aims at preserving the margin that makes for excellence. Failure to obtain the objectives would lead, over the decade, to a gradual deterioration of quality that would cause the College to slip from its present front-rank position. Material concerning the campaign and detailing the needs of the College has already been widely circulated in the college family, and as the campaign progresses, further materials will become available. Rather than repeat in detail what has already been made available, I would like to comment in general terms about the importance of the campaign effort. The motto of the campaign—"The Purpose is People"—is more than just a catchy phrase. It sums up something very central to the Bowdoin experience, the 6 Bowdoin College deep institutional concern for people as individuals. What the campaign seeks to do is to give the College the financial support necessary for us to make the maximum possible use of our facilities in order to realize our commitment to that concern. A decade ago Bowdoin needed buildings, and as a result of the successful capital campaign it was able to create one of the finest physical plants among American colleges. Now our need is for support of our human resources, the students, the faculty, and the im- plements they need and use in the pursuit of scholarship. It goes without saying that Bowdoin must maintain a faculty that is outstanding. To do so, the College must be competitive in what it can offer to a faculty member. As I have noted in previous reports, this competitive capacity of the College was becoming badly eroded. With this in mind, the Governing Boards endorsed a five-year program to restore faculty compensation to a genuinely competitive level. Good progress has been made in this effort, but to sustain it in the future will require substantial increases to the en- dowment funds devoted to the support of the instructional program. In like manner, Bowdoin has maintained historically one of the finest programs of financial aid to students in the country. On the success of that program hangs the College's capacity to continue to attract a talented and diverse class drawn from a wide variety of social, economic, and geographical backgrounds. As the College grows in size, it must expand its resources for student aid or the present program will be damaged to the great detriment of the institution.

The story is much the same with respect to the other ingredients in the campaign. In each of my reports in previous years, I have drawn attention to the ever mounting needs of the Library and to the thoroughly unsatisfactory provisions for instruction in the arts. Successful completion of the campaign will enable the Col- lege to move forward significantly in both of these areas. To carry out a successful campaign requires not only great enthusiasm, but also great team work. I remain as impressed as ever by the great loyalty which the Bowdoin family displays toward the College. The record-breaking performance of the Alumni Fund last year was very tangible evidence of this. I feel confident, too, in saying that the current campaign is the best organized effort of its kind that the College has to date been involved in. Under the able and dynamic leadership of Vincent B. Welch, of the Class of 1938, a trustee of the College, a network of volunteers spanning the whole country and including every constituency of the College has Report of the President 7 been developed. For the first time in the College's history, parents, students, faculty, and staff have been organized as campaign di- visions. Their enthusiastic participation, exemplified by the student bikeathon from Brunswick to Washington, D.C., has added greatly to the campaign's momentum. The campaign itself is only eight months old but it has already had notable success. At the time of this writing, approximately $5 million has been given or pledged toward the three-year goal of $14.5 million; a sizeable portion of that sum is the result of 100 percent participation by members of the Governing Boards.

The first portion of a campaign is, however, only the opening skirmish. During the next twelve to fifteen months, the overall campaign will be won or lost. Knowing the pressing nature of our needs and realizing that the campaign goals represent a fully docu- mented and carefully selected program designed to meet the most important concerns of the institution, I am confident that the initial momentum will be sustained and that our success in these first few months is the herald of an even greater success to come.

Coeducation

The introduction of coeducation has been one of the most visible signs of the growth and vitality of the College. Now that approximately 230 women students are enrolled, they are no longer a tiny minority. The presence of women on the campus has greatly strengthened student performing groups in music and drama. At most fraternities, women students were present as the holders of regular board contracts, and in some cases women were voting members and held offices in the fraternities. An undefeated field hockey season highlighted extensive participation by women students in the athletic program. In short, the transition of Bow- doin from an all-male college to a coeducational one has continued to proceed smoothly in this second year of the change. Further im- provements do need to be made in some of the student services available to women, but substantial progress has been made with respect to a number of the areas about which concern had been expressed during the first year of coeducation. Within two years, the College will have completed the second phase of its coeducational expansion, and the student body will number approximately 1,250. Well before that date is reached, it will be necessary to make a decision with respect to a possible Phase III of coeducational expansion. The decision whether or not to expand the College beyond circa 1,250 requires the assess- 8 Bowdoin College ment of a complicated and interlinked set of factors. It is clear, for example, that expansion beyond that figure would require significant additions to the physical plant. Further housing facilities would be needed, and expansion of the Library to provide adequate study space would be required. The latter would, in turn, almost certainly involve construction of new space for the administrative offices now occupying the western half of Haw- thorne-Longfellow Hall. A further increase in the size of the student body would likewise require a lifting of the current freeze on the size of the faculty. On the other hand, if the decision is taken to remain a college of circa 1,250, consideration must be given to the question of whether a 3:1 ratio of men to women is a suitable one for the College. Further complicating the process of making a decision is the uncertain development of federal legislation with respect to the admissions policies of private undergraduate institutions. Because the decision with respect to size is so important to the College and because it is legitimately of concern to all of Bowdoin's constituencies, I have appointed a special commission to study the problem in all its aspects and to make recommendations to me as to the policy that should be followed. The commission is chaired by John F. Magee, of the Class of 1947, a member of the Board of Overseers, and includes representatives of the Governing Boards, of the faculty and administration, of the student body, and of the Alumni Council. Originally, I asked the commission to report if at all possible not later than May 1. It has become apparent, however, that the attempt to meet that deadline would have meant that not all the ramifications of this important decision could have been studied adequately. It is now anticipated that at least an interim report will be presented in the fall.

Student Life

There has been much talk in the media recently about basic changes in the nature of student life and attitudes. A front page story in the New York Times argued, for example, that there was on the campuses a discernible return to the 1950s. If by such state- ments all that is meant is that the more violent aspects of student activism seem to have receded, the judgment is correct enough. On the other hand, if the implication is that students have ceased to be concerned about and directly involved in the all-too-plenti- ful problems of our society, the judgment could not be more false, at least insofar as Bowdoin students are concerned. There remains Report of the President 9

on their part great concern about the world around them and a marked desire to be personally involved. Such involvement can take many forms. In an election year involvement in the political process provided one such opportunity, and students participated actively in the political campaigns of both parties, as well as taking part in more general efforts such as drives for voter registration. The interest of students in various volunteer programs has also shown a marked and encouraging increase during the present year. Some 250 students have been involved actively in such programs this year, serving as tutors to local school children, as aides at Pine- land Hospital, as friends and teachers among Maine Indians through the Bermuda North program, and as Big Brothers and Big Sisters to local children. For some recent graduates, field experience of this kind has led to a career in social service, and increasing numbers of undergraduates are expressing interest in elementary education as a vocation. This sort of activity persuades me that the current Bowdoin undergraduate has been able to combine the activist concern of the late 1960s with a realistic perspective about how problems are resolved. Far from retreating into the pathetic apathy that characterized my own student generation and rejecting the anarchic aspects of the student movement of the late 1960s, today's student is both dedicated and informed. Involvement, not apathy, characterizes the outlook of the current student generation. The need to provide additional housing for the larger student body at Bowdoin provided an opportunity for the College to offer housing options other than traditional dormitories. The College purchased and renovated several large houses near the campus. These older units have been accepted enthusiastically by students who praise the homelike atmosphere. In addition, an apartment building on Belmont Street was purchased for use as a student residence, and garden apartment type housing for ninety-six students is under construction, scheduled to be ready for occupancy this fall. These facilities have been purchased and are being maintained on a self-sustaining basis from rental income. In the case of the new apartments, the self-liquidating financing has been made possible with the assistance of an interest subsidy from the Housing and Urban Development Department of the federal government. Many of the characteristics which I have noted in previous reports continue to be marked among our students. In last year's report I commented at some length upon the mobility of the io Bowdoin College current student generation. That mobility has, if anything, increased. I am aware of the fact that many people are alarmed at this development. They fear that temporary disengagement may lead to permanent alienation, or at least, they worry about the ultimate institutional loyalty of a student who has "wandered." I do not think such fears have much basis either in fact or in sound educational practice. In some very real senses, the mobility of the current student generation (and the capacity of a college to facilitate it) is one of the strongest features of American education. It is a guard against insularity of opinion. While I have no doubts about the quality of the education the College offers here in Brunswick, I am delighted that our students seek to enhance their experience through different types of involvement elsewhere, either in this country through the Twelve College Exchange or some similar program, or abroad in one of the multitude of excellent programs that exist in other countries. Just as the College is, and should be, responsive to the interest of students in studying away, it must also be sensitive to the students who experience difficulty in studying and living here. It is important that there should be institutional support for the student who feels confused, troubled and upset within this community. The provision of a professional counseling service is a relatively new phenomenon at Bowdoin, but it is one of the most important developments at the College in recent years. Now in its fourth year, the Counseling Service has become a vital part of our services to students, reaching more than 10 percent of the College enrollment each year. This past fall a part-time woman counselor was added to the staff to provide an alternative female counselor and to maintain the counselor-to-student ratio recommended by the American College Personnel Association. This has worked out well. Of particular note is the new career guidance program initiated by the Counseling Service and the Career Counseling and Place- ment service. Under this program, jointly administered by Dr. Donald E. Cowing and Mr. Harry K. Warren, students are offered aptitude testing and vocational counseling, as well as orientation to and strategies for taking the various board tests required for admission to professional and graduate schools. Of course, career counseling involves considerably more than aptitude testing. Dur- ing the past year, the College has experimented with a new format for career counseling. On the retirement of Mr. Samuel A. Ladd,

Jr., of the Class of 1929, as director of career counseling and place- Report of the President 11 ment last year, an administrative committee was appointed for the 1972-1973 academic year, with Mr. Warren as chairman and with Professor Paul V. Hazelton, of the Class of 1942, and Mr. Richard S. Pulsifer, of the Class of 1962, as members. I am happy to report that much of the success anticipated under this arrange- ment has been realized. Mr. Warren has been responsible for as- sisting students interested in careers in business and government. Professor Hazelton, assisted by Mrs. Ann S. Pierson, has worked with students interested in teaching as a career or in opportunities and agencies devoted to social and community action. Mr. Pulsifer has continued to assist departments by coordinating programs related to graduate study. In response to the growing concern of students about the de- creasing employment market, the committee has initiated a placement bulletin describing opportunities both for jobs and for assistance in obtaining them. Informal sessions with returning alumni from a variety of areas have been helpful. Mr. Warren, as director of the Placement Office, has visited all the fraternities to discuss the services available through his office. I am pleased to report that the College has been able to assist an increasing number of students in their search for future employment. Not only is it good to see undergraduates go on to productive careers as adults but also it is helpful to the College as a liberal arts institution to re- assure its graduates that there is a demand for the qualities of mind developed here. Were this not so, the pressures for career- oriented courses would undoubtedly increase, and the liberal arts curriculum, which has characterized Bowdoin's special excellence in the past, would be sorely challenged. One of the major aspects of student life is the athletic program. This year I received the report of the special commission chaired by Mr. Merton G. Henry, of the Class of 1950, on the College's physical education program. The recommendations of that commission have been indicated in detail in an article in the Alumnus, so I need not repeat them here. But the basic conclusions of that commission do bear repeating. While the commission did have some specific changes to recommend, it basically found that the athletic program was operating on a sound basis. The emphasis on programs that appeal broadly and the increasing stress on instruction in carry-over sports are two essential features of our athletic program. It is vital to remember, as the commission stressed, that our athletic program exists for the sake of the students. It does not exist for any other reason. The program that 12 Bowdoin College brings maximum enjoyment and maximum benefit to them is the program the College must support. In other words, the success of a program cannot be measured in terms of the won-loss percent- ages in intercollegiate competition, for such competition is only a part of our overall program in physical education. In the intercollegiate sphere, Bowdoin teams had their ups and downs. An outmanned football team, reinforced halfway through the season by freshman players, finished strongly, breaking the college record for yardage in two of its last three games. The cross-country team had an outstanding fall season, culminat- ing in the State Series championship. As I have noted earlier, the women's field hockey team swept through an undefeated season. The winter season brought further triumphs. Though the hockey team was dethroned as ECAC Division II champions, it had an excellent season, and against almost all prediction, played through to the finals of the tournament, where it was bested by a superior Vermont team. The swimming team broke record after record. The wrestlers maintained their awesome performance, and the squash team emerged ninth in the national tournament. As I write this report, the spring season is still in progress, but special note should be taken of the lacrosse team, unbeaten to date and possessor, as far as I can ascertain, of every scoring record for the game at the College. In many ways, then, the picture of student life is a most encouraging one. I would be remiss, however, if I did not indicate at least two of the concerns which affect student life. Increasingly diverse living patterns of undergraduates have created some problems with respect to undergraduate social life. With the decline of older centers, there is now a felt need at the College for some suitable location for undergraduate socializing on a regular basis. A series of Friday evening parties at the Senior Center proved to be a considerable success, but it is clear that Chamberlain Hall is not an ideal location for such gatherings. The coffee house in the base- ment of Baxter House will not fully serve the purpose either. Dis- cussions continue about alternative sites. No suitable answer has yet been found, though some solution is imperative. The other problem I would mention is a far more serious one, the problem of security. Bowdoin is fortunate that it does not share in the full security problem of the urban universities. On the whole, Brunswick remains a small town where it is safe to walk the streets and violence is unusual, but the sorry features of the contemporary world have begun to be felt even in peaceful Report of the President 13

Maine. Theft or assault are not completely unlikely occurrences any more. For years the College has operated with a minimal security force because the necessity did not exist for anything else. It is now apparent that the College's view must be revised. A number of steps have been taken in the current year, of which the most apparent is vastly improved campus lighting. Next year's budget contains funds for upgrading the security service the College can provide. Particularly in view of the fact that the College is now

coeducational, it is vital that this problem be addressed promptly and firmly.

Admissions

The Bowdoin admissions picture did not change appreciably during the 1972-1973 academic year. Once again there was growth in the applicant pool, contrary to the national pattern; growth in the anticipated size of the freshman class (the target for the Class

of 1977 is 380 students) ; and growth in the public notice given to Bowdoin's "humanized" admissions policies, such as the optional usage of standardized tests and the submission of supplementary material by candidates denoting special talent in writing, art, music, and other fields. There were 3,725 candidates competing for the Class of 1977; 2,480 men applied for 250 places in the freshman class and 1,245 women applied for 130 places. Overall, 18 percent of the candidates were admitted, 20 percent of the men, and 16 percent of the women. It is worthy of note that legacies fared well in the admissions process; 38 percent of the direct legacies who applied were admitted, indicating that sons and daughters of alumni fared better in the admissions process than other

groups of candidates. Although the College is complimented and encouraged by a growing applicant pool (there were 27 percent more candidates this year than two years ago, and 185 percent

more candidates than five years ago) , it is a difficult and obviously sensitive mission to refuse entry to hundreds of qualified students, most of whom have alumni and /or friends of the College endors- ing their applications enthusiastically. On the other hand, there seems to be, as the Director of Admissions reports, truth in the maxim: "The tougher the college is to get into, the more kids and parents seem to want it." Increased disappointment is the necessary by-product of this increased selectivity. While the admissions picture at the College remains a most encouraging one, it is clear that there are important questions concerning admissions policy which need to be discussed vigorously 14 Bowdoin College in the months ahead. Some of the questions are clearly related to the work of the Magee Commission on Coeducation, particularly those questions dealing with the ratio of male and female students within the student body. It is clear, too, that the College must take care to examine its costs on a regular basis and must ask itself constantly the question at what point will the College price itself out of the market. Finally, it is important that the College consider the question of whether the mission of the institution should be more specifically denned so that the Admissions Office has clearer guidelines about the sort of student it should be seeking for the class.

Closely involved with the admissions process is the strength of Bowdoin's financial aid program. For some years now, Bowdoin's student aid policy has been to meet the full financial need of undergraduates who are making normal progress toward graduation. Despite its cost, this commitment has traditionally been given a high priority at Bowdoin to insure that the student body is representative of the population as a whole. In the current year, between 40 and 45 percent of the students will receive financial assistance at a cost approximating $775,000 in scholarships and $200,000 in loans. Scholarship grants of $785,000 and loans of $285,000 will be needed to maintain the program next year. The disparity in loan funds between the current year and the coming year resulted from a reduction in the federally sponsored National Direct Student Loan Program. For the first time in many years, Bowdoin could not fill the loan needs of its students, and all upperclassmen were required to supplement their Bowdoin awards from non-college sources. We can expect reduced federal loan allotments in the years ahead, and this will increase the pressure on college funds. Students who receive scholarship grants are expected to assume some of the responsibility for their own educational expenses, principally by accepting part of their award in the form of a loan to be repaid after graduation. Debt of $2,800 to $4,000 is typical for the graduating senior who has received financial aid in each of his four years. The integrated aid program at Bowdoin relies on loans just as much as it relies on scholarship funds to meet student need. We have been successful at generating the required scholarship money over the past few years; to keep the aid program in balance we must be just as successful in generating loan resources in the years ahead. The cost of attending Bowdoin has varied little for two years now, and no increase is anticipated for next year. That relief is Report of the President 15 only temporary. Tuition, room, board, and fee charges will start climbing once again in 1974, and student aid costs will go up along with the charges. The price of a year at Bowdoin is projected at 14,750 for 1973-1974, and few families can afford to send their children to the College without assistance of some kind. About one-third of the aid recipients now come from families with annual incomes in excess of $15,000, and this percentage must surely rise as educational costs go up. The pattern is already well established. More of our students will come from wealthier families each year. The rest will seek financial aid from the College. And with each passing year the pressure will mount to provide aid for students whose family circumstances range all the way from the dis- advantaged to the moderately well-to-do. Curriculum

In my report last year I noted the growing variety of educational opportunities available to students today. More students than ever before study away, request leaves of absence for work or travel, submit advance placement scores for earlier graduation, and seek independent study while on campus. This trend has continued with the result that we should not be surprised two or three years from now if 10 to 20 percent of the students are away from campus. The experience almost uniformly enriches the individual's development, but the institution must work at retaining order in the midst of such flexibility. This year, for example, it has been possible to admit approximately forty more students than anticipated, in view of the increased numbers away next year. I hasten to add, though, that those students leave with every assurance that they will return to complete their studies here and to receive their Bowdoin degrees. Other concerns noted last year have come into sharper focus this spring. The tension between the general and the specific, for example, is inherent in an institution like Bowdoin. Efforts to cir- cumscribe one or the other in order to avoid imbalance in a student's individual program or chaos in the enrollment of students across the curriculum are met with charges of indifference to individual needs. This tension has been heightened by the recent growth of interest in the creative arts, especially in applied music and studio art. No one denies the value in a liberal arts education of engaging the arts much as one engages foreign languages and sciences. The difficulties occur when an institution must question the extent of its resources for developing all of these areas and the 16 Bowdoin College value to the individual student of pursuing any one area of study to the exclusion of others while at the undergraduate level. The initial efforts of the Curriculum and Educational Policy Committee to resolve this problem did not seem satisfactory to the faculty. Briefly, the proposal, while not prescribing areas in which a student must study, attempted to set limits beyond which study did not seem profitable at the expense of other areas while at the undergraduate level. After further discussion and debate, the de- mands of the specific and the general were ultimately resolved in an acceptable report which opens with the following statement:

Bowdoin does not prescribe a pattern of required liberal arts courses for all students. Instead, each student determines, with the help and approval of his academic counselor, what pattern of courses is most liberating for him. This practice is based on the belief that each student has come to Bowdoin to pursue seriously a liberal education. Courses, it is assumed, do not lead simply to other courses in the same subject, but properly taught, they raise questions and evoke a curiosity that other disciplines must satisfy. The college also recognizes through its course offerings the importance of relating a liberal education to a society whose problems and needs are continually changing. The breadth of a liberal arts education is supposed to dis- tinguish it from professional training, and its depth in one field, from dilettantism, although in fact it shares qualities of both. More specifically, Bowdoin's educational policy invites the student to extend his concerns and awareness beyond the individual at the same time that it helps him to integrate his curricular choices in accordance with his own intellectual needs. Interaction between the student and his faculty adviser is a vital part of this educational experience. While there is no tidy progression among subjects outside a given department, and no way of equating a course name with its effect, students are expected to engage academic disciplines outside their chosen major and immediately related fields.

To implement the philosophy of that statement, the advisory system has been strengthened by inviting freshmen to choose the academic department from which they would prefer their counselor selected. Further, the Dean of Students has been directed to experiment with a variety of formats for counseling students. For example, there will be some freshmen and sophomores who will be advised by a pair of faculty advisers. Others will be advised by a faculty member working in conjunction with an upperclassman. Report of the President 17

Through such experimental arrangements, the College intends to make the advisory system responsive and viable, for it is essential to enable students to realize through their own initiative the educational philosophy of the institution. Closely related to curricular concerns is the matter of the college calendar. Sensing considerable interest in reviewing the calendar on which the College currently operates, I appointed an ad hoc committee chaired by Professor James E. Ward III to study the problem. As a result of its deliberations, the faculty voted at the April faculty meeting to recommend to the Governing Boards a new calendar to become effective with the academic year 1974- 1975. The proposed new calendar calls for the opening of college immediately after Labor Day and for the conclusion of the first semester prior to Christmas. The second term would begin in mid- January and conclude in mid-May. Although no calendar answers all of the needs of the institution and its faculty and students, the proposed calendar does have several practical and inviting features. It will, for example, place us on approximately the same schedule as some 80 percent of the other colleges in America. There are some scheduling benefits to be derived when most institutions are marching to the same tune. Although the pressure before Christmas will be severe, there is something to be said for making the Christmas vacation itself a real vacation and not a period in- terrupted by worries of returning to the final week or two of classes and mid-year exams. For our seniors and for undergraduates seeking summer jobs, an earlier end of the year will mean that more opportunities will be available for employment. As college costs reflect the growing costs of our economy, this concern is very real. One drawback to the proposed calendar is that an already short spring season for athletics in Maine will be made slightly shorter. Given the other benefits proposed, one reluctantly accepts this drawback and prays for an early spring.

The Senior Center

During the past year the Senior Center Council has given a great deal of time and effort to evaluating the role of the Senior Center seminar program in the current Bowdoin curriculum. The results of its deliberations were reported to the faculty in Novem- ber and accepted by them. As a result of its reconsideration, the council reaffirmed its belief that the Senior Center seminar program is of considerable value to the College. In this regard, it stressed several points. Senior Center seminars are approved for 18 Bowdoin College only one semester at a time. Since they are not courses in a regular department and their enrollment is limited, the program gives the College curricular flexibility. It allows the institution to be more responsive to concerns and interests expressed by Bowdoin students and faculty, even those which might not occupy a permanent place in the curriculum. Moreover, it provides a testing ground for departments and individual members of the faculty to try courses which might later become a regular part of the curriculum. In addition, it permits the College to increase its course offerings at relatively low cost without permanently increasing the size of the faculty, by accepting seminar proposals from qualified people not presently on the college staff, and from those holding nonteaching positions in the Bowdoin community. The council recognized that small seminars are costly in terms of teaching time. Although the council was aware of the fact that some members of the faculty feel that advanced departmental seminars should take precedence over seminars with no prerequisites, if the College cannot offer both, the council indicated its belief that it is important for the College to continue to offer seminar- type courses both to nonmajors and to advanced majors in departments. Moreover, the council noted that the present seminar program apparently does not prevent departments from offering small advanced courses; in the spring semester of 1972, 52 percent of the courses in the College which were neither independent studies nor senior seminars enrolled fifteen or fewer students. It is clear that the Senior Center seminars are by no means the only small courses currently available at the College. Finally, the council pointed out in its report the importance to the College of the Senior Center seminar program as a force in educational innovation at Bowdoin. The council by no means im- plied that innovation at Bowdoin should be or was confined to its seminar program. However, as it pointed out, at Bowdoin as at every other college, there is a gap between the theoretical possibilities for educational innovation and the practical opportunities to try new things. The flexibility of the seminar program offers an excellent opportunity to explore new topics and methods, and the council will continue to encourage faculty members to use the seminars as vehicles for experimentation. During the academic year 1972-1973 the Senior Center sponsored a varied program of events; many of them attracted considerable interest among undergraduates. Programs ranged from lectures by such figures as Adam Yarmolinsky and Senator Samuel J. Report of the President 19

Ervin, Jr., to a festival of Ingmar Bergman films, and the topics covered in these lectures ranged from "Ghosts and Haunted Houses" to "Israel and Contemporary Jewish History." Two extended series of events sponsored by the Senior Center deserve special comment. The first was a Shakespeare festival, mounted with the aid of the Maine State Commission on the Arts and the Humanities and local business firms. The festival, organized by

Professor Herbert R. Coursen, Jr., of the Department of English, included nine events and was an outstanding contribution to the intellectual life of the College. During the second semester, a series of eight events on Latin America was sponsored by the Senior Center in cooperation with Chi Psi Fraternity. This series added a valuable dimension to the College's developing programs in the area of Latin-American studies.

Lectures, Concerts, Theater, and Exhibitions

In its annual report submitted to the faculty in May, the Com- mittee on Lectures and Concerts noted that its activities during the current year "reflected a diminishing budget and the increasing difficulty of attracting good speakers and performers with our modest fees." Despite the budgetary difficulties under which the committee has worked, there has been an excellent program of both lectures and concerts at the College during the course of the current year. A number of distinguished scholars visited on special endowed lectureships: Professor Einar Haugen of Harvard gave the Alfred A. Golz Lecture entitled "The Vikings in North Amer- ica," and Professor Philip Collins of the University of Leicester gave the Annie Talbot Cole Lecture, "Victorian Englishmen on the American Lecture Circuit." The Jasper Jacob Stahl Lecture was delivered in the spring semester by Professor Harry T. Levin of Harvard. It was entitled "Dramatic Auspices, the Playwright and his Audience." The committee was also able to arrange and aid in the support of several concerts, including one by the Port- land Symphony String Quartet, and two by the pianist Richard Bunger. In addition, the Department of Music presented some twenty-five musical events at the campus, ranging in style from the baroque to the contemporary and in performance from solo- ists to full choral presentations. The exhibitions at the Walker Art Building have continued to maintain the high level of excellence which the College has come to expect. Details concerning these exhibitions are contained in the report of the Director of the Museum of Art. Special attention might be drawn to two exhibi- 20 Bowdoin College

tions involving the works of a member and a former member of the Bowdoin faculty, the display of photographs by John McKee and the exhibition of murals by Howard Warshaw; both shows were received with considerable critical acclaim. The Masque and Gown has also had an active and successful year. Particularly notable was the winter production of Oh, What a Lovely War. Enthusiastically received by the community, it must rank as one of the finest productions done by the Masque and Gown in recent years. The Committee on Lectures and Concerts has again in its report drawn attention to the fact that the dispersal of authority for lectures and concerts creates the danger of duplication and dispersal of effort. On the other hand, it is clear that the overall program at the College is considerably enhanced by the capacity of student groups such as the Afro-American Society and departments of the College such as the ROTC to present sustained programs for the community. Given the budgetary restrictions surrounding this area of collegiate life, it seems to me that an excellent program has been maintained.

The Future

This is the fifth President's Report which I have written. In many ways it is also the most optimistic. Bowdoin has grown in various ways since the spring of 1969. It has experienced, along with other institutions, the tumult of the times. But it has emerged from that searching period a strengthened institution. I need not catalogue here the significant developments that have occurred at the College in the last five years, except to note that I think, taken together, they have increased the frequency with which Bowdoin is referred to as an institution of the first rank. At no time in its history has Bowdoin had a more able student body, nor a faculty more dedicated and more professionally involved. In previous reports when I have come to write of the future, I have laid great stress on Bowdoin's unsatisfied needs. The 175th Anniversary Campaign is designed to meet a majority of those needs, but even assuming its success, I think we need to be aware of some uncertain areas in front of the College. Two such areas have been mentioned elsewhere in this report. In the first place, the trend of applications to private colleges nationally is a down- ward one. Bowdoin has not yet felt the impact of this trend, but with the continuing development of public education, I think it is highly unlikely that we shall not be touched by it in the near Report of the President 2\ future. It is necessary to remember, too, that with the removal of artificial factors such as the draft, the number of young people who seek entry to colleges will show a decrease. In fact, the drop in male applicants is already apparent as a national phenomenon this year. In the second place, the economic problems of higher education will continue and Bowdoin will not be immune from this pressure either. Recent federal legislation in the field of higher education does not represent a panacea for our national problems, and the continuing struggle over the funding of authorized programs serves as a reminder that there is a considerable gap between a statutory authorization and its actual impact on the College. But even beyond these issues, there are other developments that will bear close watching, developments which are bound to have an impact on the College at some point in the future. Tax reform has been much discussed in Washington this past year; though it now appears certain that there will be no far-reaching legislation in this area during the current session of Congress, private educational institutions and those who support them must continue to be alert to possible alterations in the tax regulations. No one would dispute the fact that a systematic review of taxation is in order, but some of the proposals which have surfaced in connection with that review, including notably provisions relating to bequests and to gifts of appreciated property, can only be worrying to those institutions which depend upon private philanthropy for their support. It is of the greatest importance that well-intended tax reform not lead to the elimination of those features of the tax law which encourage private philanthropy. It is vital to the nation that the diversity within the educational structure occasioned by the exis- tence of private and public institutions be maintained. Discour- agement of private philanthropy would vastly increase the burden already placed on private institutions, and many would be forced to close their doors. The results would be extremely detrimental to the public good, and moreover, they would be very costly as the public sector would be forced to assume the tasks now performed by the private sector. Moreover, the College faces a future in which the academic profession is divided and at times very uncertain. To the perennial debate over teaching versus research (a debate that should have long since been resolved by the obvious observation that the two are closely interrelated) have been added new ingredients. The media have been full of discussions of the tenure system and the 22 Bowdoin College growing movement toward faculty unionization. A major study undertaken by the American Association of University Professors and the Association of American Colleges was published this spring with its recommendations on the tenure system. That commission argued, with considerable cogency, that the intimate ties between tenure and academic freedom demand the preservation of the system as a system. At the same time, it pointed to a number of weak- nesses in the actual operation of the system, including the short- ness and ill usage of the so-called probationary period and the lack of imagination shown by the profession in supporting continued professional growth, and where necessary, professional retraining. The points seem to me well taken, and I feel Bowdoin should examine its own practices in light of them. The trend toward unionization of faculty, much remarked on in the popular press, has not been significantly felt in private liberal arts colleges like Bowdoin, but if the practice continues to spread in the profession, it is unlikely that this sort of college will remain untouched by it. Much discussion has already ensued within the profession over the issue of whether such a development would be detrimental to the col- legiality which gives colleges like Bowdoin their distinctive atmosphere. On balance, I share the fears of those who would see it as disruptive to the quality of undergraduate education in a small and open community such as Bowdoin. In the Baccalaureate address this year, I discussed at some length the possible responses of the academic community to the pressures on it. It seems to me that it is impossible to take either the path of retreat into an ivory tower or the path of destruction and repudiation of the world we find around us. The first path would cause us to forfeit our capacity to live up to President Mc- Keen's historical challenge to serve the common good; the second is built on erroneous assumptions about the intellectual heritage we all share, a heritage built on the hope of improving the lot of mankind rather than on the preservation of the status quo. While the future viewed from 1973 is a very uncertain thing, it is my firm conviction that Bowdoin College has never been in a stronger position to face that uncertainty than it is at the present time. The historic mission of the College remains, as was intended, a great challenge. Bowdoin continues to engage that challenge with enthusiasm. DeMortuis

Charles Thomas Ireland, Jr., J.D., of the Class of 1942, a mem- — Report of the President 23

ber of the Board of Overseers from 1961 until 1972, died at Chap- paqua, New York, on June 8, 1972, a week after his election to the Board of Trustees. A summa cum laude graduate and member of Phi Beta Kappa, Mr. Ireland was president of the Columbia Broadcasting System at the time of his death. Before joining CBS in October 1971, he was a senior vice president of International Telephone & Telegraph Corporation. From 1961 to 1967 he was president of Alleghany Corporation, a holding company con- trolling the New York Central Railroad and Investors Diversified Services, Inc. Following his graduation from Bowdoin, he served as a captain in the Marine Corps and saw action at Saipan, Tinian, Iwo Jima, and Roi Namur, receiving the Silver Star, the Bronze Star, and the Purple Heart and being recommended for the Navy Cross. He entered Yale Law School in 1946 and was graduated two years later. In Bowdoin affairs, Mr. Ireland served as a member- at-large of the Alumni Council from 1946 to 1950. Survivors include his wife, two daughters, and two sons. Athern Park Daggett, Ph.D., LL.D., of the Class of 1925, Wil- liam Nelson Cromwell Professor of Constitutional and Interna- tional Law and Government, and member of the faculty for more than forty years, died on January 20, 1973, in Portland as a result of injuries suffered in a fall on the campus January 8. Graduating magna cum laude, Professor Daggett taught briefly at Lafayette, the University of Maine, Bowdoin, and Randolph-Macon Woman's College and took advanced degrees from Harvard before returning to Bowdoin for good in the fall of 1933. A faculty representative to the Alumni Council from 1936 to 1939, he was in 1963 named the first recipient of the Council's Alumni Award for Faculty and Staff. His contributions to the betterment of Bowdoin were numerous, and although his tenure as acting president, from July 1967 through December 1968, was undoubtedly his most con- spicuous service, his wise and patient teaching of hundreds of Bowdoin students was his most profound. He was truly, to use the words of the citation that accompanied his Bowdoin honorary degree in June 1969, a "joyful teacher, wise counselor, a senior statesman of this academic world." Survivors include his wife, a son, and a daughter. Sadly, I must also report the deaths of three students during the course of the academic year. Charles Baird Price III, of the Class of 1974, died of natural causes—on October 17, 1972, in his room at the Delta Kappa Epsilon I 24 Bowdoin College

ar, he was majoring in economics and biology as a premedical student, was a member of the Student Council, and was working with underprivileged children in Brunswick. He had served his fraternity as rushing chairman. Survivors include his parents and two sisters, one of whom, Ann, is a senior at Bowdoin. Gridley Weatherbee Tarbell II, of the Class of 1974, died on October 6, 1972, when the bicycle he was riding was struck by a car on Route 123 in Brunswick. He was a member of Psi Upsilon Fraternity, which he served in a number of official capacities. In the spring of 1972 he was elected president of the Student Union Committee. An art major, he was also a photographer for the Orient. He earned numerals in track and swimming his freshman year and a varsity letter in swimming his sophomore year. Sur- vivors include his parents, two brothers, and three sisters. His father, Eaton W. Tarbell, is a member of the Class of 1937. His two brothers, Eaton, Jr., and Peter W. Downey, are members of the classes of 1964 and 1965, respectively. Carl Albert Losche, of the Class of 1976, died unexpectedly at

his home in Chesterfield, Missouri, on January 7, 1973. Born in Indianapolis, he prepared for college at the Principia Upper School in St. Louis, where he was president of the student body, a member of the Boys' Governing Board, Cum Laude Society, yearbook staff and camera club, and was active in dramatics. He won letters in football, track, and cross-country. During the second semester of his sophomore year, he was a page in the United States Senate. Survivors include his parents, five sisters, and four brothers.

Retirements

A. Shirley Gray, A.B., B.B.A., of the Class of 1918, was elected a trustee emeritus in June 1972 following eighteen years of service as a member of the Governing Boards. For his wise counsel and faithful service, especially as chairman of the Special Committee on the Expansion of the Moulton Union and as a member of the Committee on Policy, we are grateful. Retiring on May 10 of this year for personal health reasons was John F. Brush, A.B., superintendent of grounds and buildings since 1954. With boundless energy, imagination, and patience, he discharged his responsibilities for the maintenance, renovation, and expansion of the College's plant during a period of unparal- leled growth and improvement. In the past decade alone, the campus grew from 395,000 square feet in twenty-four operating Report of the President 25 areas to 630,000 square feet in forty-four areas. The entire college community joins me, I am sure, in my hope that Mr. Brush will be able to regain his health in his retirement. Thomas A. Riley, Ph.D., of the Class of 1928, a member of the faculty for thirty-four years, retires on June 30. A full professor since 1956 and chairman of the Department of German from 1963 to 1966, he has been a conscientious and painstaking teacher who has contributed significantly to making Bowdoin a leading educational institution.

AN occasional evening spent observing the Hawthorne-Long- fellow Library fill up gives the distinct impression that the use of the Library grows each year. Attendance statistics confirm this impression, and circulation figures bear it out as well. The following table shows the circulation transactions for the past five years:

1967-68 1968-69 1969-70 1970-71 1971-72 Lent (for extended use) 35> l85 34,412 36>79i 37>947 41,300 Lent (from reserve) 16,185 16,053 12,293 9,775 13,909 Total 5i,37o 5°>465 49,084 47,722 55,209

Except for the year when the Library instituted the semester loan policy, general circulation has followed an upward trend. Reserve circulation had followed an opposite path until last year. Preliminary figures this year indicate last year's experience was the beginning of a new trend. Interlibrary loan transactions numbered 1,691. The Library secured for its readers 614 of 815 requested items and furnished other libraries with 1,077 of 2,155 requested books and periodicals. This compares with 360 items borrowed and 918 items lent the year before. The following table shows the growth of the Library for the past five years:

The column headed "collection at end of fiscal year" makes graphic a concern that has been a recurrent theme of these reports for the past several years. Stack space for the expanding collection is in very short supply. The rated capacity of Hawthorne-Long- fellow Library is 407,000 volumes. A storage collection of 30,000 volumes is housed in the Hubbard Hall stacks, and about 20,000 volumes are kept in five departmental libraries. These totals confirm the observation that the stacks in Hawthorne-Longfellow Library are overcrowded in too many areas. New space must be found soon, and at the recommendation of the Faculty Committee on the Library, the Librarian will submit a capital budget to provide a link to the Hubbard Hall stacks so that the stacks can be used as an integral part of the Library. If the project is approved and a definite timetable established, a number of small shifts in the collections will control the overcrowding until a segment of the collections can be moved to the Hubbard Hall stacks. If the project is not approved, or is indefinitely postponed, a way to utilize the Hubbard Hall stacks in a storage mode will have to be found. Each year a number of older books equal to the number of newly acquired books must be selected and moved to storage, and the catalog cards pulled and marked with their new location. Books from storage will then be brought to Hawthorne- Longfellow as they are called for. It is clear that additional staff will be needed to carry on the work. The task of bringing the recataloging project to a close by July 1974, as outlined in last year's report, is proceeding as planned. What remains of the Dewey catalog will be dismantled next spring, and those books still in the Dewey classification system will be a permanent storage collection, except that books will be recataloged as they are called for and circulated. The effort to reduce periodical and continuations titles the Li- brary receives had mixed success. Subject lists were circulated to appropriate departments with a strong request that titles no longer useful to support the curriculum be identified, and a list of general titles proposed for deletion was circulated. Altogether, over sixty titles were dropped. However, new titles added during the past year negate much of the gain insofar as subscription costs are concerned. A major benefit of the effort, nevertheless, is a sense of confidence that the titles now received are indeed useful to the academic program. The process will be continued annually, both to restrain the growth of periodical titles and to maintain confidence in the value of the list. Report of the Librarian 55

Delays in the installation of the terminal for the on-line cataloging support system have been disappointing. Originally scheduled for delivery last October, the installation date has now moved to June because of contractural difficulties and component shortages. The system was described briefly in last year's report, and it was hoped the Library would have had at least a preliminary estimate of its effect on processing routines to report at this time. Despite the disappointment caused by the installation delays, the system still seems as promising as it appeared last year. Reports of users are uniformly enthusiastic. The immediate benefits will be a reduction of the cataloging backlog and much faster processing of newly acquired material. The longer range benefits will come when the library network concept that the system makes possible becomes a reality. This summer the Library will close for a week in order to accomplish a systematic inventory of the books in the Library of Congress classification. Spot inventories have been taken over the past years, but after ten years it is time to check the entire collection. The inventory will reveal errors in the records that need to be corrected, as well as indicating which books are missing from the Library. Use of Special Collections materials continues to be great. A total of 205 readers used its books and manuscripts during the year, and 104 written inquiries were answered. The staff supplied 2,397 pages of photocopied material and absorbed into the Collec- tions two major manuscript collections. Each year groups of visi- tors come to Special Collections. Last fall a session that was enthusiastically received was arranged for the wives of Alumni Fund class agents and of members of the Alumni Council. Several public school teachers brought their classes to see some of the material

and hear about it. Five major exhibitions were mounted during the year. Professor Marion Brown displayed primitive, traditional, and original musical instruments from his collection. Other exhibitions were The Pickard Limited Editions Collection; The Sesquicentennial of the Maine Historical Society; The Making of a Book: Livingston and Van Cleve; The Gehenna Press Collec- tion; and Photographs of North American Indians by Edward S. Curtis. Several staff changes must be noted here. Mary Margaret Benson returned to her native California after spending two years as a cataloger in the Bowdoin College Library. Her place has been taken by Ronald Charbonneau. After seven years of faithful and 56 Bowdoin College productive service, Charlene Pruell resigned her position in the Library in March. She is greatly missed. It is appropriate as well to express here the Librarian's appreciation to an able and conscientious staff for their productive efforts and a cooperative spirit. Nor would this report be complete without a word of appreciation to Provost and Dean of the Fac- ulty Olin C. Robison for his strong support of the Library's programs, and to the Faculty Committee on the Library under the chairmanship of Professor James Hodge for its wise and helpful council.

Respectfully submitted, Arthur Monke Report of the Librarian 57 APPENDIX

Donors of Funds or Books, 1972-1973

The March 1973 issue of the Bowdoin College Bulletin, entitled Hawthorne-Longfellow Library: A Catalogue of Endowed Funds and Selected Special Collections bears eloquent testimony to the generosity and concern of the many alumni and friends of the College since its founding. The Bulletin, however, tells only part of the story. In addition to the special collections described in the Bulletin, the College has received many books in the general collections through the gifts and benefactions of alumni and friends. Two new book funds were established this past year, the Ernst C. and Louise R. Helmreich Book Fund and the Stones-Pickard Special Editions Book Fund. The first fund was established from gifts of former students and colleagues to honor Ernst C. Helm- reich, Thomas Brackett Reed Professor of History and Political Science, and Mrs. Helmreich upon his retirement after forty-one years of service to the College. The second fund was established by a gift from Mrs. John C. Pickard in memory of her mother, Mrs. Clement Stones. It makes possible the continuation of the collection of fine editions which she gave to the Library last year. Previously established funds were added to during the year. Members of the Class of 1912, the Class of 1914, the Class of 1924, and the Class of 1929 increased the book funds named for their respective classes, and gifts from Lowell A. Elliott '16 and Norman H. Nickerson '16 were designated for the Class of 1916 Dwight Sayward Memorial Book Fund. Owen M. Zuckert '54 and Donald M. Zuckert '56 made gifts to the Miguel E. de la Fe Memorial Book Fund; the Sills Book Fund was added to by Mr. and Mrs. Philip M. Brown and by Elroy O. LaCasce, Jr. '44; and Harald A. Rehder '29, Gerhard Rehder '31 and Mrs. Warren F. Witherell made gifts to the Alfred Rehder Library Fund. The Burton Book Fund was substantially increased by a gift from William S. Burton '37 as was the Donald W. Phil- brick Fund by gifts from Karl R. Philbrick '23 and Donald W. Phil- brick '17. Ray W. Pettengill '05 added to both the George Thomas and Lilly Little Fund and to the Daniel W. and Martha A. Petten- gill Fund. Gifts from Mrs. Charles H. Livingston and Paul L. Bish- op '49 increased the Charles H. Livingston Memorial Book Fund. Other book funds that were added during the year included the

Henry Philip Chapman Library Fund, by H. Philip Chapman, Jr. 58 Bowdoin College

'30; the Charles Taylor Hawes Fund, by F. Erwin Cousins '24; the Major Robert R. Rudy Book Fund, by Mr. and Mrs. Isadore Rubin; the James Alan Auld Memorial Book Fund, by Howard S. Cutler '70, Louis B. Briasco '69, Frederick O. Buckley, Jr. '70, Richard E. Morley '70, Clark T. Irwin, Jr. '70, and Mr. and Mrs. John P. Auld; and the Stephen A. DeVasto Memorial Book Fund, by Mrs. William J. Bosworth and Mrs. Claire P. Woods. The Library was the recipient of two outstanding family archives this year. The family of Alexander L. Abbott presented a large collection of correspondence, diaries, journals, and books, relating primarily to Jacob Abbott and Lyman Abbott, and including the Lyman Abbott autograph collection. The last of the Hub- bard Family Papers, described in last year's report, and the gift of Joseph H. Darlington '28 and Sibyl Darlington Bernard, came to the Library this year. These collections add much to the value of Special Collections. An outstanding collection of Leonard Baskin's Gehenna Press productions was placed in the Library on permanent loan last fall. The collection includes nearly all the books from the press, as well as many of its ephemeral publications. The Gehenna Press com- bines the work of a powerful artistic talent with beautiful typog- raphy and fine press work. Another addition to the Library's collection of exceptional books is a facsimile of William Blake's Water-Colour Designs for the Poems of John Gay. Published by the Trianon Press for the William Blake Trust, this uncommon example of the printing

' arts is the gift of Sumner T. Pike 1 3. Many gifts too numerous to describe in detail came during the year. Among the donors of funds, books, and manuscripts were: John C. Abbott '43, Albert Abrahamson '26, Alcoa Foundation, Neil Alter '55, Mrs. Frederick W. Anthoensen, The Anthoensen Press. John L. Baxter '16, Philip C. Beam, David P. Becker '70, Lewis H.

To the President of Bowdoin College: I have the honor of submitting the following report for the year ending April 30, 1973. This year the report is the result of a col- laboration between Lynn C. Yanok and myself. Mrs. Yanok has been most familiar with the details and has supplied a large part of the material included herein.

Exhibitions

P\URING the period covered by this report, seventeen tem- *^ porary exhibitions were mounted in the Boyd Gallery and in the small downstairs gallery. Nine of these exhibitions were organized by the Museum or drawn from its collections. Addition- ally, three exhibitions were devoted to a selection of student class- work at Bowdoin. The downstairs gallery has proved to be an extremely valuable area for the Museum and is crucial to the continuation of programs devoted to small and beneficial exhibitions either lent to or organized by the Museum. Many objects, especially student work, on display during the past twelve months could not have been made available to the student body and the general public had this area been diverted to other uses. A September/November exhibition of mural studies by Howard Warshaw was organized jointly with the Santa Barbara Museum of Art where the works were displayed in February and March of 1973. Professor Warshaw has been on the faculty of the University of California at Santa Barbara for many years and taught at Bow- doin in 1969, when he completed the mural Deposition and the Daily News for the reading room in the Hawthorne-Longfellow Library. In the exhibition and catalogue are studies, sketches, preliminary versions, and epilogues to murals begun and completed in the 1960s, plus a few works alluding to earlier mural projects. Important to an understanding of the historical background surrounding the inception and execution of the Rotunda murals were sketches and related works incorporated in the November/ December exhibition The Walker Art Building Murals. An accompanying catalogue was published under the title Occasional Papers I. In this inaugural issue are published many of the docu-

61 ,

62 Bowdoin College ments and a large portion of the visual materials in the Museum's collections pertaining to the commission and execution of these murals. It is hoped that the article will stimulate further interest in the history of American mural painting in the nineteenth century and perhaps bring to light additional facts and documents in the reconstruction of events surrounding their creation. The Rockwell Kent Collection, acquired during the last reporting period through the generosity of an anonymous donor, was exhibited in December/January. The paintings, drawings, and watercolors in this collection provided viewers with a varied cross section of Rockwell Kent's activities as painter, draughtsman, and illustrator. Accompanying the exhibition was a catalogue dedicated to Sally Kent in gratitude for her abiding interest and help in the formation of this collection. An exhibition by Bowdoin faculty member John McKee con- sisted of sixty black-and-white photographs representing his personal vision. Included were untitled landscapes and portraits. This very popular exhibition is scheduled to be seen at other institutions and libraries during the coming year. A catalogue of a selection of these photographs also accompanied the exhibition. The fact that the exhibition Nineteenth-Century French Prints was selected and organized by a Bowdoin student becomes one of its outstanding features. Gregory C. Carroll '73, in fulfilling the requirements of an honors project in the Department of Art, made impressive use of the educational potential of the Museum of Art. Through the exhibition, Mr. Carroll afforded viewers a representative view of the Museum's nineteenth-century print collection. The accompanying catalogue assumed its own importance by enlarging the Museum's systematic knowledge of its hold- ings, thus facilitating future work in the area by other students and scholars. This was one of the most ambitious student-directed enterprises at the Museum. It offers a challenging precedent for future projects by students engaged in museum training.

Acquisitions

In the period covered by this report, the Museum acquired by purchase two paintings, six drawings, forty-nine prints, one ivory sculpture, and a South German cabinet front. As gifts came one painting, twelve watercolors (including a double album of mounted calligraphy and watercolors by Taiwanese artists) thirty-one prints, and five jade, glass, porcelain and textile objects. The most significant groups of prints were given this year by Report of the Director of the Museum of Art 63

Dr. and Mrs. Christopher A. Graf and Dr. and Mrs. Frederick P. Nause. These, together with the prints purchased by the Museum, will be used in part to replace older prints presently incorporated in the traveling print shows made available by the Museum to secondary schools and libraries in Maine. Hon. Karl L. Rankin H'6o and Mrs. Rankin continued their interest in the Bowdoin College Museum of Art through the gift of a fine selection of Chinese watercolors and other works. The generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Hubert added to our American collections with the gift of four works by the Maine artist James Fitzgerald. A major watercolor by the American artist Ogden Pleissner, donated by John MacDonald, was also a welcome addition to our collections. Additional gifts to the Rockwell Kent Collection were in the form of two striking textiles given by Dan Burne Jones. The importance of gifts to the Museum from these and other donors throughout the years cannot be overemphasized, particularly in view of the limited annual budget available to the Director for acquisitions. The generosity of our donors plays a vital role in the maintenance of a well-balanced and flexible program of exhibitions and in continuing to add to the Museum's already significant collections.

Operations

Several handsome catalogues were published by the Museum of Art during this reporting period and all were distributed to members of the Associates program. Associates again helped support the Museum's publication and exhibition program as well as the film series. Membership now stands at 854, a slight increase when compared with the 803 members reported last year, partially due to an increase in student membership from 218 to 256. Museum attendance during the period covered by this report was 29,819. The docent program continued to flourish during its third year of operation under the chairmanship of Jeanne Mayo, giving tours of the Museum to school and adult groups. David A. Salmon '72 capably served during this period as cura- torial intern. He succeeded David S. Berreth '71, the second such intern at the Museum. This program has worked well. It has mutually benefited the participants and the Museum. The intern is introduced to all phases of museum work and is assigned certain areas of responsibility by the Director, including exhibitions and research. The intern assists the Director and his staff in 64 Bowdoin College many ways and contributes much to the scope and flexibility of the Museum operations. The internship is presently established on the basis of an academic year with funds contributed by the College and drawn from the Museum budget. Although it is no substitute for a professional staff, the intern does get introduced to professional standards and procedures. It is hoped that as long as qualified candidates are available, the project can continue. The Museum staff was saddened this year by the loss of its able director, Richard V. West, who came to Bowdoin in 1967. Mr. West left Bowdoin in December to assume the directorship of the E. B. Crocker Art Gallery in Sacramento, California, and the staff wishes him every success in his new position. Another loss having considerable impact on the Bowdoin Col- lege Museum of Art is the Rembrandt van Rijn portrait Young Man Holding a Short Sword, which has been reclaimed by its owner, Eunice, Lady Oakes, after nearly thirty-five years in residence within the Walker Art Building. (A portrait of Washing- ton attributed to Stuart was also withdrawn by Lady Oakes.) I hope that neither of these losses will leave permanent scars. We all look forward with enthusiasm to new projects and develop ments. Chief among these is the prospect of a new art building- museum complex. This will bring us new space and improved facilities for display and storage of our valuable works of art. I applaud the decision to move boldly to build the art building, so long overdue, while holding construction in the Museum proper in abeyance until the new building is complete. Then all attention can be given to refurbishing the galleries, installing atmo- spheric controls, and remodeling the lower level of the Museum. I shall facilitate these moves as best I can. The new plan will delay work on the Museum somewhat, but the Museum will gain through a smooth transition. Disruption will be shorter under the present development scheme. Let us not, however, become lost in the shuffle and forgotten when all eyes are focused on the new art building. Finally, I wish to thank Mrs. Yanok for her special service to the Museum in the interim between Mr. West's and my tenure. She has invoked the confidence of all and made my job of learning the Museum operation far easier than it might have been other- wise. We are fortunate to have such dedicated and talented staff members in the Museum. Respectfully submitted, R. Peter Mooz Report of the Director of the Museum of Art 65 APPENDIX
