BOWDOIN COLLEGE Offi ce of the Dean of Student Affairs

STUDENT HANDBOOK 2004-2005 THE OFFER OF THE COLLEGE

To be at home in all lands and all ages; To count Nature a familiar acquaintance, And Art an intimate friend; To gain a standard for the appreciation of others' work And the criticism of your own; To carry the keys of the world's library in your pocket, And feel its resources behind you in whatever task you undertake; To make hosts of friends... Who are to be leaders in all walks of life; To lose yourself in generous enthusiasms And cooperate with others for common ends Ð This is the offer of the college for the best four years of your life.

Adapted from the original “Offer of the College” published in 1906 as a foreword to The College Man and the College Woman by William DeWitt Hyde, Seventh President of Bowdoin (1885-1917)

August 2004 Dear Bowdoin Students:

Welcome to the new members of the College, the Class of 2008! And wel- come back to the campus, all upperclass students. I urge you to take some time at the beginning of the year to read the handbook. In par tic u lar please consid er the “Values of Our Learning Commu ni ty” set forth on the following two pages. That state ment, de vel oped by the Com mis sion on Res i den tial Life in 1996-97, is a clear testament to Bowdoin's values as a college community. William DeWitt Hyde's “Offer of the College,” published in 1906, provides an earlier yet enduring state- ment of Bowdoin's purpose.

The Student Handbook is provided as a reference; it is a guide to the policies, procedures, and governance structure of the College. Students are ex pect ed to be familiar with College policies published in the Student Handbook and the Bow- doin College Catalogue. The Handbook exists to assist you in planning, navigat- ing, and—importantly—contributing to the future poli cies and directions of your college. As is described in the section on College Gov er nance, students are full members of virtually all faculty, college, and trustee committees, and those com- mit tees develop the policies of the College. Compared to many other colleges, Bowdoin has an unusually high level of student representation at all levels of gov- ernance, and the opportunity to serve and participate can be powerfully edu ca tion al and meaningful.

I would extend President Hyde's idea that your Bowdoin years can be the “best four years of your life.” I hope that you use your time at Bowdoin to estab - lish a personal standard of intellectual engagement, community involvement and lead er ship, rich and diverse friendships, and the enjoyment of “gener ous en thu- s i asms” that you will sustain and build upon throughout your life.

My colleagues and I wish you every success at Bowdoin and stand by to help and to challenge you as you take full advantage of this extraordinary place.

Best wishes for a successful year.

Sincerely,

Craig W. Bradley Dean of Student Affairs

Learning is enriched through bonds between alumni, parents, and the College; through voluntary social service and political and social action that teach students by engaging them in the world; through appropriate opportunities to study in other settings; and through a lively parade of visitors to campus to share talents, views, and experiences.

On November 20, 2000, the student government developed a process/document entitled “StudentMatters” in an effort to formalize the procedure for the students' voice to be represented to administration. a. Aim of this document and goals of the “StudentMatters” Process: Create a formalized system of government at Bowdoin by which students can enact change through legislative channels. The goals of the “StudentMatters” Process include: a) Empowering students through political effi cacy, b) Increasing participation in student government, c) Strengthening ties between students and administration, and d) Enriching campus through broadened student voice and perspective. b. Summary and thesis: The vast majority of students attending Bowdoin do not feel that they possess political effi cacy. Because they do not feel that they can affect change on this campus, students are apathetic toward government. The purpose of this proposal is to create a system through which students can bring their concerns to a formal setting where a response to their concern is guaranteed. By allowing students to draft a bill and bring it before their peers and possibly administration and College governance committees, their issues and interests are legitimized. Now, they not only possess a voice, they hold the tools necessary to potentially change their concern into policy. c. How this will be accomplished: The “StudentMatters” Process: Students will draft legislation in the form of a bill. After being placed on the Student Government agenda, they will go before the Student Government, speak on their bill, and leave it to the Student Government to debate the merits of said bill. The Student Government will vote to either pass or not pass the bill based on a two-thirds majority vote. The appropriate Vice President, one elected Student Government member, and the author(s) of the bill will be responsible for bringing a passed bill to the appropriate members of the community (i.e. a College administrator or faculty-member; a panel of appropriate College deans and/or faculty members; or a governance committee on the faculty, general College, or trustee level) and to actively seek ratifi cation of the bill and represent student government. Again, the merits of the bill will be debated and a vote may be taken to either pass or not pass the bill. If the bill is passed, it will be added to the policies and procedures of the College. Student government will work to publicize the passage of the bill and inform the student body of the policy change/addition. Instructions will be given to appropriate administrator(s) or College governance committee and subsequent action will be taken to ensure that the bill is, in fact, enacted and enforced. 4. Meetings a. The Student Government shall hold a meeting at least every other week, with the ability to require meeting every week if found necessary by the President and Vice Presidents. 5. Executive Session a. A two-thirds vote of the Student Government present may move the Student Government into Executive Session. All persons not on the Student Government must leave the room. The recording secretary shall not keep minutes during the meeting

105 APPENDICES

unless directed by the Chair and approved by a majority vote. Any minutes taken shall be private to the Student Government members. b. A two-thirds vote of the Student Government is required to move out of Executive Session. c.

121 RAISE SONGS TO BOWDOIN

Words by K.C.M. Sills '01 Music by C.T. Burnett New Words by Anthony Antolini '63 Arr. by Thornton W. Allen

Raise songs to Bowdoin, praise her fame, And sound abroad her glorious name; To Bowdoin, Bowdoin lift your song, And may the music echo long O’er whispering pines and campus fair With sturdy might fi lling the air. Bowdoin, from birth, our nurturer and friend To thee we pledge our love again, again.

While now amid thy halls we stay and breathe thy spirit day by day, Oh may we thus full worthy be To march in that proud company Of poets, leaders and each one Who brings thee fame by deeds well done. Bowdoin, from birth, our nurturer and friend To thee we pledge our love again, again.
