From the Series:

This series contains multiple copies of the autobiography that Alfred Gross wrote in 1966. There are published and unpublished remarks about Gross written for the presentation of his honorary degree from Bowdoin College, for reports to the Harvard Travellers (sic) club, and as introduction before a speech. A couple of completed faculty questioners solicited from Gross by Bowdoin are included (1948 and 1956). News clipping sand releases about Gross are also present as are clippings about birds that Gross collected. There is personal paperwork relating to property ownership in Brunswick, Maine, Gross' enrollment at Harvard, and various other bills and receipts. A scrapbook of Brunswick Audubon Society clipping is in the series as well. There are also materials related to Gross' teaching at Bowdoin: lecture notes, assignments, exam questions, and schedules.

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.
