    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.

  • Handel's Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment By
    Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment by Jonathan Rhodes Lee A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Emeritus John H. Roberts Professor George Haggerty, UC Riverside Professor Kevis Goodman Fall 2013 Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment Copyright 2013 by Jonathan Rhodes Lee ABSTRACT Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment by Jonathan Rhodes Lee Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair Throughout the 1740s and early 1750s, Handel produced a dozen dramatic oratorios. These works and the people involved in their creation were part of a widespread culture of sentiment. This term encompasses the philosophers who praised an innate “moral sense,” the novelists who aimed to train morality by reducing audiences to tears, and the playwrights who sought (as Colley Cibber put it) to promote “the Interest and Honour of Virtue.” The oratorio, with its English libretti, moralizing lessons, and music that exerted profound effects on the sensibility of the British public, was the ideal vehicle for writers of sentimental persuasions. My dissertation explores how the pervasive sentimentalism in England, reaching first maturity right when Handel committed himself to the oratorio, influenced his last masterpieces as much as it did other artistic products of the mid- eighteenth century. When searching for relationships between music and sentimentalism, historians have logically started with literary influences, from direct transferences, such as operatic settings of Samuel Richardson’s Pamela, to indirect ones, such as the model that the Pamela character served for the Ninas, Cecchinas, and other garden girls of late eighteenth-century opera.

  • 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.

    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.

Box 6507 Phone: 806-742-0301 x249 Lubbock TX 79493-6507 E-mail: [email protected] January 30, 2008 Boyd, Thank you for participating in the balloting for the College Baseball Hall of Fame’s 2008 Induction Class. We appreciate your willingness to help. In the voters packet you will find the official ballot, an example ballot, and the nominee biographies: 1. The official ballot is what you return to us. Please return to us no later than Mon- day, February 11. 2. The example ballot’s purpose is to demonstrate the balloting rules. Obviously the names on the example ballot are not the nominee names. That was done to prevent you from being biased by the rankings you see there. 3. Each nominee has a profile in the biography packet. Some are more detailed than others and reflect what we received from the institutions and/or obtained in our own research. The ballot instructions are somewhat detailed, so be sure to read the directions at the top of the official ballot. Use the example ballot as a reference. Please try to consider the nominees based on their collegiate careers. In many cases nominees have gone on to professional careers but keep the focus on his college career as a player and/or coach. The Veterans (pre-1947) nominees often lack biographical details relative to those in the post-1947 categories. In those cases, the criteria may take on a broader spectrum to include the impact they had on the game/history of college baseball, etc.
