This series contains records of the Alumni Council. The Alumni Council was created in 1914. It is the governing body of the Bowdoin Alumni Association. The original council consisted of 12 members elected by a general ballot of the alumni. The first meeting, held in 1914 at Commencement, was chaired by Kenneth C.M. Sills '01, who was then Dean of the College. The records contain minutes of the council meetings, results of elections and general business papers. Also includes information about alumni events including homecomings, commencements, and reunions. Reunion synopses are filed in the fall meeting folder of the reunion year.

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.
