Excerpt from General Catalogue of Bowdoin College and the Medical School of Maine, 1794-1894: Including a Historical Sketch of the Institution During Its First Century At their annual meeting in 1893, the Boards of Trustees and Over seers requested the librarian to issue a new edition of the general catalogue, which should include a concise history of the college. They also directed that this publication should not be distributed to the alumni gratuitously, but should be sold at one dollar a copy, a price that does not exceed the actual cost of manufacture.
