Excerpt from Tales of Bowdoin: Some Gathered Fragments and Fancies of Undergraduate Life in the Past and Present

To those in whose hearts Bowdoin College holds a place the publication of this volume requires little excuse or explanation. To others its existence can be but a matter of small concern. We give it to its readers in the confident hope that no Bowdoin man of any time can read its pages without finding much to interest him, to stir the memories of his own undergraduate days and to bind him closer to his Alma Mater. Many of the contributions are truthful reminiscences; some are stories based upon actual happenings, and a few are woven by the shuttle-play of the imagination around scenes familiar and dear to us all. Some are long and some are short: some serious and others in lighter vein. But all are tales of Bowdoin, with something of the college color and something of the college atmosphere which can only be fully appreciated by those who have known those halls and campus paths and who have heard the whispering of the pines.

It is not to be claimed that this book is complete or exhaustive. Many and many a theme of great possibilities is not touched upon in its pages and many a Bowdoin story-teller is as worthy a place in such a work as are any of the thirty whose contributions herein appear. It may be that this volume is but a beginning, and that other collections of Bowdoin tales will be published, finding a place in the library of every Bowdoin man and giving pride and pleasure to every Bowdoin heart.
