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.

College of the Atlantic Climate Action Plan FINAL
College of the Atlantic Bar Harbor, Maine Spring 2008, Climate Action Plan BACKGROUND Campus Profile College of the Atlantic (COA) is a small, four-year, private college with one major: human ecology. Its 300 students design their own course of study geared to investigate, and ultimately improve, the relationships between human beings and their social and natural communities. Students at COA are both reflective and active. While many students study sciences and policy, our students come to campus with the creativity of the thinking mind; we graduate musicians, poets, artists and screenwriters along with green business workers, conservationists and marine scientists. Environmentalism is inherent in everything COA does. Its mission and major draw students who are inherently aware of the impact of their actions. Recycling is standard procedure; food is composted; landscaping is organic; bikes are everywhere; the environment is protected and cared for. COA students, faculty and staff are involved in decisions about all aspects of the college, from which trees should be cut and where roads and walkways placed to the nature of any new structures. Much of the college’s produce comes from its own organic farm or a kitchen garden that is part of the campus’ public community gardens. Only low- or no-VOC paints and healthy cleaning products are used. Sustainability is part of purchasing decision’s for furniture, office products and food. These efforts are supported by all members of the college community. Contacts David Hales Craig W.

Testimony of Daniel W. Walker on Behalf of Maine Independent Colleges Association Before the Committee on Taxation
Daniel W. Walker [email protected] TESTIMONY OF DANIEL W. WALKER ON BEHALF OF MAINE INDEPENDENT COLLEGES ASSOCIATION BEFORE THE COMMITTEE ON TAXATION In opposition to LD 659, An Act To Ease The Property Tax Burden By Authorizing Municipalities To Require Payments In Lieu Of Taxes From Certain Exempt Organizations Joint Standing Committee on Taxation April 14, 2021 Senator Chipman, Representative Terry, and members of the Taxation Committee, my name is Daniel Walker, and I am an attorney with Preti Flaherty and I am here today on behalf of the Maine Independent Colleges Association (MICA) to testify in opposition to LD 659. MICA represents 11 private, nonprofit colleges and universities1 throughout Maine that serve over 25,000 students, over 7,000 of whom are from Maine. These institutions are located in municipalities of all sizes across the State, from Maine’s largest city to small tourist towns and farming communities. Collectively, the 11 institutions are an economic force and an integral part of Maine’s Higher Educational eco-system. While they share the attributes of being private and nonprofit, these institutions are highly diverse and serve very different aspects of the educational needs of Maine people. Together they: Employ over 6,000 Maine workers. Have a total payroll in excess of $340 million. Have direct expenditures of over $615 million. Have an estimated economic impact on Maine’s economy of over a billion dollars each year. Directly contribute close to $2M to municipalities. Value of community service is over $24 million. Provide nearly $55 million in financial aid to Maine students. -

Colby was part of my town, and Colby people were part of my life-they were my teachers, they ran businesses in town, they dated and married my sisters. I recall a childhood reverence for the old Colby campus and saw its transition to the new, and I remember Bill Millett from my school days-the slow drone of his voice and his warm smile-friend and mentor to youth of Water ville .... That is where I started, and now I am here, an artist and farmer in Grand Isle, Vt. The road between has been bumpy, and at every turn choices had to be made. The paved routes were the safest; the lanes and paths were risky. I'd like to thank you, Colby, for helping me make it down that road. -
NINETEENTH CENTURY AMERICAN PAINTINGS at BOWDOIN COLLEGE Digitized by the Internet Archive
V NINETEENTH CENTURY^ AMERIGAN PAINTINGS AT BOWDOIN COLLEGE NINETEENTH CENTURY AMERICAN PAINTINGS AT BOWDOIN COLLEGE Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2015 https://archive.org/details/nineteenthcenturOObowd_0 NINETEENTH CENTURY AMERICAN PAINTINGS AT BOWDOIN COLLEGE BOWDOIN COLLEGE MUSEUM OF ART 1974 Copyright 1974 by The President and Trustees of Bowdoin College This Project is Supported by a Grant from The National Endowment for The Arts in Washington, D.C. A Federal Agency Catalogue Designed by David Berreth Printed by The Brunswick Publishing Co. Brunswick, Maine FOREWORD This catalogue and the exhibition Nineteenth Century American Paintings at Bowdoin College begin a new chapter in the development of the Bow- doin College Museum of Art. For many years, the Colonial and Federal portraits have hung in the Bowdoin Gallery as a permanent exhibition. It is now time to recognize that nineteenth century American art has come into its own. Thus, the Walker Gallery, named in honor of the donor of the Museum building in 1892, will house the permanent exhi- bition of nineteenth century American art; a fitting tribute to the Misses Walker, whose collection forms the basis of the nineteenth century works at the College. When renovations are complete, the Bowdoin and Boyd Galleries will be refurbished to house permanent installations similar to the Walker Gal- lery's. During the renovations, the nineteenth century collection will tour in various other museiniis before it takes its permanent home. My special thanks and congratulations go to David S. Berreth, who developed the original idea for the exhibition to its present conclusion. His talent for exhibition installation and ability to organize catalogue materials will be apparent to all. -

The one I like best is building—we build a lot of things here. Some such building is actual, not analogous: there’s a fourth year student building a tiny house in the parking lot; another is rebuilding the battery terminals for our electric van; we just built a bed on wheels and placed third in the Bar Harbor Bed Races. -

The immediate goals of the proposal are to highlight, through compensation, the reality that the productive activities carried on in households are of essential importance for the whole economy and society, and to enable the people who carry out these essential activities to do so without having to short-change the care work because of the need to earn money through the market. -

Homer's reception by critics highlights the impossibility of sepa rating artistic achievement from the tastes andfashions of the society in which the artist worked. The Anystify- ingly blank" faces that critics abhorred in Homer's early farm figures became the distinctively attractive features of his later seascapes. Winslow Homer, who lived from 1836 to 1910, has long been acknowledged as a quintessential Yankee and one of the foremost American artists of the nineteenth century.

Works by such masters as George Caleb Bingham, Frederic Edwin Church, Thomas Eakins, William Stanley Haseltine, Martin Johnson Heade, Fitz Hugh Lane, John Marin, John F.

His many books and articles have helped define the scholarly nature of the field as a whole and have also documented the works of key figures.
