Scope and Contents

From the Series:

The College Calendar began publication in 1937. A weekly calendar of events and announcements concerning the college community, it included the times and dates of sporting events, and lectures; the speaker and topic of the daily chapel meeting; dates and times of final exams; a listing of current exhibits at the Walker Art Building; and any other information or announcements considered relevant. The Calendar continued to publish its weekly list of events and information even after "The Bowdoin Thymes" began its run as a daily listing of events and announcements. In 1986 the title changed somewhat to the Bowdoin College Calendar and News, as the publication added a "News Notes" section that publicized faculty and staff activities, such as outside lectures, awards and honors. In September 1989 the Calendar and News was replaced by the bi-weekly Sundial: The Bowdoin College Community Calendar and News. Primarily aimed at faculty, and staff, the Sundial contains a two-week calendar of events, and an expanded section of news and stories of interest to that constituency. Beginning August 1991, the Sundial was published weekly, and continued publication until May 1997.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
