Lorimer was the Editor of The Saturday Evening Post from 1899-1936. Of note are letters from Albert Beveridge, Upton Sinclair, Mary Roberts Rinehart, Julia Grant Cantacuzene, Joel Chandler Harris, and Irvin S. Cobb. This project was made possible through funding by the George Horace Lorimer Center for Print Media, which supported numerous student digitization internships. For a story about a portion of the collection, see pages 10-11. To learn more about how you can support student internships, please contact Chantel Dunham at (706) 542-0628 or [email protected].

The University’s first structure was a rudimentary log building, the upper half-story of which housed its earliest library. The nascent collection held works to aid instruction in areas such as classics, mathematics, natural and moral philosophy, and the laws of nature and nations. The library also held books on history, literature, and geography and other subjects “for the use of Students at intervals when not engaged in the Academical studies.” From this modest beginning on the Robert Holden, Associate Vice President for Auxiliary Services, (far left), Georgia frontier, the UGA Libraries Mrs. Robin Benson (center) and Dr. Toby Graham, University Librarian (far eventually emerged as a leading research right) cut the ribbon to dedicate the Benson Collaboration Café in the Main library in support of an institution that Library.

    Review of the English Programs of the University of Maine at Presque Isle September, 2011 1 Contents I. Introduction 3 II. English Program Self-Study 4 1. Program Description 4 2. Assessment of Progress Since Previous Review 6 3. Program Resources 8 4. Faculty Quality and Research 14 III. English Program Developments 15 IV. Numerical Measures 16 Appendix A: Program of Basic Studies Task Force Report 22 Appendix B: Offerings and Enrollments, Fall 2004-2011 46 Appendix C: Full-Time Faculty Curriculum Vitae 68 2 I. Introduction This Program Review reports significant, systemic changes in the English program and its concentrations at the University of Maine at Presque Isle. As we survey the students we serve, the faculty who serve them, and the future direction of our program, we recognize both challenges and opportunities. We affirm our campus role as a regional state university and its responsibility to offer educational opportunity to the students of northern Maine. However, we also recognize our need to develop programs and delivery modalities capable of reaching students well beyond our region, particularly in the form of online and hybrid offerings. The English majors we serve continue to evolve in their constituencies. For instance, twelve years ago, at the time of our previous Program Review, Education students comprised the majority of all English majors. As of Spring 2011, of our 69 majors, less than half are now Education majors, with significant growth in concentrations in Writing (14), Professional Communication and Journalism (8), and fully online students.
