    THE INAUGURATION OF CLAYTON S. ROSE Fifteenth President of Bowdoin College Saturday, October 17, 2015 10:30 a.m. Farley Field House Bowdoin College Brunswick, Maine Bricks The pattern of brick used in these materials is derived from the brick of the terrace of the Walker Art Building, which houses the Bowdoin College Museum of Art. The Walker Art Building is an anchor of Bowdoin’s historic Quad, and it is a true architectural beauty. It is also a place full of life—on warm days, the terrace is the first place you will see students and others enjoying the sunshine—and it is standing on this brick that students both begin and end their time at Bowdoin. At the end of their orientation to the College, the incoming class gathers on the terrace for their first photo as a class, and at Commencement they walk across the terrace to shake the hand of Bowdoin’s president and receive their diplomas.

  • Pine Grove Cemetery Walking Tour
    Pine Grove Cemetery Walking Tour A tour of the final resting place of many prominent members of the Brunswick community Brief History: With the utilization of all plots in the Brunswick burying ground adjacent to the meeting house on upper Maine Street, three citizens contracted with Bowdoin College to acquire land for a new site. In 1821, a tract was obtained and subsequently – in 1886 and 1973 – two ad- joining parcels were purchased and developed. As a condition of each sale, Bowdoin College was deeded a row of plots to allocate as they wished. Traditionally, they were assigned to individuals and families who had given distinguished service to the college. The remaining plots were made available to local citizens and a walk of the grounds will find numerous prominent Brunswick names, some of which are found within these pages. The accompanying map on the back of this booklet provides a guide to specific grave sites. For more information about those buried at Pine Grove Cemetery, see the survey prepared by Cheetham & Cheetham, available at Brunswick’s Curtis Memorial Library, Bowdoin College Library, and the Pejepscot Historical Society. Portions of this survey are available at http://www.curtislibrary.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/Pine- Grove-Cemetery-searchable.pdf. Walking Directions: From the Visitors Center/Maine Street Station, proceed to Maine Street and turn right up the hill, towards First Parish Church at the intersection of Maine Street and Bath Road. Turn left onto Bath Road, walking be- tween the Church and the Bowdoin College campus and through the traffic light at Federal Street.
