Published monthly by the College. Bowdoin College BOWDOIN COLLEGE was incorporated by the General Court of Massachusetts, upon the joint petition of the Association of Min- isters and the Court of Sessions of Cumberland County. The act of incorporation was signed by Governor Samuel Adams, June 24, 1794. The legal designation of the Corporation is the President and Trustees of Bowdoin College. The College was named in honor of James Bowdoin, a distinguished Governor of Massachusetts, of Huguenot descent. The government has been, from the first, vested in two concurrent Boards, the Trustees and the Overseers, the Trustees initiating legislation and the Overseers concurring or vetoing. Since 1870 one-half the vacancies occurring in the Board of Overseers have been filled from nominations from the body of the Alumni.
