Practical establishment of the College was more difficult, however, than the securing of a charter. The lands granted the Col- lege by the General Court were not readily convertible into cash. Gilts for its operation were slow in coming—except for one handsome donation by James Bowdoin III, son of the late governor of Massachusetts, whom the College honors in its name. Brunswick was selected as a proper site in 1796, but the erection of a building to house the College was not accomplished until 1802. On September 2 of that year, the Reverend Joseph McKeen was installed as the first president of the College.
