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 Cumberland County. The act of incorporation was signed by Governor Samuel Adams, June 24, 1794. The legal designation of the Corporation is the President and Trustees of Bowdoin College. The College was named in honor of James Bowdoin, a dis- tinguished Governor of Massachusetts, of Huguenot descent. The government has been, from the first, vested in two concur- rent Boards, the Trustees and the Overseers, the Trustees ini- tiating legislation and the Overseers concurring or vetoing.
