BOWDOIN COLLEGE BOWDOIN COLLEGE was incorporated by the General Court of Massachusetts, upon the joint petition of the Association of Ministers and the Court of Sessions of Cumber- land County. The act of incorporation was signed by Governor Samuel Adams, June 24, 1794. The College was named in honor of James Bowdoin, a grand- son of the Huguenot refugee, Pierre Baudouin, who fled from the religious persecution that followed the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, and, in 1687, made a home for himself on the shores of Casco Bay, in what is now the city Portland. In the next generation the family name was anglicized, and the grandson, James Bowdoin, was born in Boston, which had be- come the family home, and was graduated from Harvard Col- lege in 1745. He was a staunch and influential supporter of the movement for American independence, a member for many years of the Council, or senate, of the colonial legislature, a delegate to the first Continental Congress in Philadelphia, president of the Provincial Council, and a close personal friend of Washington. He was also the president of the convention which framed the Constitution of Massachusetts, and was subsequently, for two terms Governor of the State. In addition to his civil honors he received honorary academic degrees from Harvard, from the University of Pennsylvania, and from the University of Edin- burgh; he was a member of various foreign societies, the first president of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a valued friend and correspondent of Benjamin Franklin. The earliest patron of the College was the Honorable James Bowdoin College Bowdoin, son of the Governor. He was graduated from Har- vard College in 1771, and subsequently studied at the University of Oxford. In President Jefferson's administration he was ap- pointed successively Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of Spain, and Associate Minister at the Court of France. During his residence abroad he accumulated a valuable library, a collec- tion of paintings and drawings by old and modern masters, a cabinet of minerals and fossils, together with models of crys- tallography, all of which he bequeathed to the College.
