Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the spookiest stories behind this centuries-old college in Maine . . . photos included! Bowdoin College boasts two centuries in higher education, and that rich history is laden with curious tales and ghostly happenings. Eerie legends about Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Joshua Chamberlain, and other distinguished graduates are still whispered in the halls of their alma mater. A dungeon complete with skulls and skeletons hidden beneath Appleton Hall plays to society’s darkest fears about secret college societies. The many untimely deaths at Hubbard Hall lend credence to its haunted reputation. Misfortunes of Coleman Hall residents might have a connection with the building’s site atop the remnants of the long-closed Medical School of Maine. Now, author David Francis reveals Bowdoin’s spooky and maybe even ghostly history . . .

Excerpt: ...for college settlement and other good works of that kind, and hence had been much interested in Mrs. Shaw's account of the benevolent work she did in the town and the great need of doing more of it. Like many city people she had a general idea that most country folk were to be greatly pitied, because of their primitive condition and lack of comforts of life. She could see how by the help of the Summer visitors they managed to eke out a picturesque existence in the Summer, but "what could such people do in the Winter?" This visit might show her and she would at least get material for "talks" on the subject at the ladies' club, so she accepted the kind invitation and before long was on the ground. She was much more stylish than Ellen Wallis, and could talk better, and Jacob could not but make the suggested comparison, which resulted not to Ellen's advantage. He didn't realize at all that he himself was the cause in great part of Ellen's lack of more educational advantages. He had put foolish notions into her young head, talked to her and her parents learnedly about the greater need there was that "women should cultivate domesticity instead of aping men in literary pursuits," so that she had given up the ideas she once had of going to college herself, and now he mentally blamed her that she did not compare favorably with this bright and cultivated girl. To complete the scheme, when it was evident that the "air-tight was working as Mr. Shaw had predicted, Mrs. Shaw caused it to be known in Brunswick that her son Jacob was engaged, or likely soon to be, to a certain cultivated and attractive girl then visiting-in Boltville. This had the desired result, a letter of gentle inquiry from Ellen, a complaint of her...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are colleges and universities in a period of unprecedented disruption? Is a bachelor's degree still worth the investment? Are the humanities coming to an end? What, exactly, is higher education good for? In For the Common Good, Charles Dorn challenges the rhetoric of America's so-called crisis in higher education by investigating two centuries of college and university history. From the community college to the elite research university—in states from California to Maine—Dorn engages a fundamental question confronted by higher education institutions ever since the nation's founding: Do colleges and universities contribute to the common good? Tracking changes in the prevailing social ethos between the late eighteenth and early twenty-first centuries, Dorn illustrates the ways in which civic-mindedness, practicality, commercialism, and affluence influenced higher education's dedication to the public good. Each ethos, long a part of American history and tradition, came to predominate over the others during one of the four chronological periods examined in the book, informing the character of institutional debates and telling the definitive story of its time. For the Common Good demonstrates how two hundred years of political, economic, and social change prompted transformation among colleges and universities—including the establishment of entirely new kinds of institutions—and refashioned higher education in the United States over time in essential and often vibrant ways.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Monstrous Society problematizes competing representations of reciprocity in England in the decades around 1800. It argues that in the eighteenth-century moral economy, power is divided between official authority and the counter-power of plebeians. This tacit, mutual understanding comes under attack when influential political thinkers, such as Edmund Burke, Jeremy Bentham, and T.R. Malthus, attempt to discipline the social body, to make state power immune from popular response. But once negated, counter-power persists, even if in the demands of a debased, inhuman body. Such a response is writ large in Gothic tales, especially Matthew Lewis's The Monk and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and in the innovative, embodied political practices of the mass movements for Reform and the Charter. By interpreting the formation of modern English culture through the early modern practice of reciprocity, David Collings constructs a "nonmodern" mode of analysis, one that sees modernity not as a break from the past but as the result of attempts to transform traditions that, however distorted, nevertheless remain broadly in force."--Jacket.

Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout its long and colorful history, Walt Disney Studios has produced scores of films designed to educate moviegoers as well as entertain them.

Even Disney's dramatic recreations of historical events (Ten Who Dared, Invincible) have had their share of educational value. Each of the essays in this volume focuses on a different type of Disney "edutainment" film. Together they provide the first comprehensive look at Walt Disney's ongoing mission to inform and enlighten his worldwide audience.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the author of A. Lincoln and American Ulysses comes the dramatic and definitive biography of Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, the history-altering professor turned Civil War hero. “A vital and vivid portrait of an unlikely military hero who played a key role in the preservation of the Union and therefore in the making of modern America.”—Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of And There Was Light SHORTLISTED FOR THE GILDER LEHRMAN LINCOLN PRIZE • A KIRKUS REVIEWS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Before 1862, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain had rarely left his home state of Maine, where he was a trained minister and mild-mannered professor at Bowdoin College. His colleagues were shocked when he volunteered for the Union army, but he was undeterred and later became known as one of the North’s greatest heroes: On the second day at Gettysburg, after running out of ammunition at Little Round Top, he ordered his men to wield their bayonets in a desperate charge down a rocky slope that routed the Confederate attackers. Despite being wounded at Petersburg—and told by two surgeons he would die—Chamberlain survived the war, going on to be elected governor of Maine four times and serve as president of Bowdoin College. How did a stuttering young boy come to be fluent in nine languages and even teach speech and rhetoric? How did a trained minister find his way to the battlefield? Award-winning historian Ronald C. White delves into these contradictions in this cradle-to-grave biography of General Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, from his upbringing in rural Maine to his tenacious, empathetic military leadership and his influential postwar public service, exploring a question that still plagues so many veterans: How do you make a civilian life of meaning after having experienced the extreme highs and lows of war? Chamberlain is familiar to millions from Michael Shaara’s now-classic novel of the Civil War, The Killer Angels, and Ken Burns’s timeless miniseries The Civil War, but in this book, White captures the complex and inspiring man behind the hero. Heavily illustrated and featuring nine detailed maps, this gripping, impeccably researched portrait illuminates one of the most admired but least known figures in our nation’s bloodiest conflict.

Download or read book Undead in the West written by Cynthia J. Miller and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2012-08-17 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Undead in the West: Vampires, Zombies, Mummies, and Ghosts on the Cinematic Frontier, Cynthia J. Miller and A. Bowdoin Van Riper have assembled a collection of essays that explore the many tropes and themes through which undead Westerns make the genre’s inner plagues and demons visible, and lay siege to a frontier tied to myths of strength, ingenuity, freedom, and independence. The volume is divided into three sections: “Reanimating Classic Western Tropes” examines traditional Western characters, symbolism, and plot devices and how they are given new life in undead Westerns; “The Moral Order Under Siege” explores the ways in which the undead confront classic values and morality tales embodied in Western films; and “And Hell Followed with Him” looks at justice, retribution, and retaliation at the hands of undead angels and avenger. The subjects explored here run the gamut from such B films as Curse of the Undead and Billy the Kid vs. Dracula to A-list features like From Dusk ‘til Dawn and Jonah Hex, as well as animated films (Rango) and television programs (The Walking Dead and Supernatural). Other films discussed include Sam Raimi’s Bubba Ho-Tep, John Carpenter’s Vampires, George Romero’s Land of the Dead, andSergio Leone’s Once Upon a Time in the West. Featuring several illustrations and a filmography, Undead in the West will appeal to film scholars, especially those interested in hybrid genres, as well as fans of the Western and the supernatural in cinema.
