| Abstract |
These records cover a wide variety of topics concerning Bates
College, but the majority concern various fundraising efforts and
other financial matters. Most of the records are from the Chase and
Gray administrations, although there is some material from the
Phillips era. Many of the files were likely kept by Harry Rowe, who
served as Assistant to the President from 1924 to 1946. |

Scope and Content
Note
These records contain correspondence, memoranda, programs,
reports, brochures, and clippings. Although the records cover a
wide variety of topics, most of the folders concern fundraising
efforts and other financial matters pertaining to Bates College.
The bulk of the fundraising/financial items are from the Chase and
Gray administrations, but there is some material from the Phillips
era as well. It is likely that most of the files came from Harry
Rowe, who served as Assistant from 1924 to 1956; a number of the
folders also contain typewritten notes from Rowe, written between
1956 and 1958.

Organization and
Arrangement
The records are arranged into two series: General Administrative
records and Wills and Gifts. The files under each series are then
arranged alphabetically by folder title. See each series note for
more detailed information.
Note that there may be some correlation to records in the
manuscript collection MC-071, Harry Rowe Papers. Since the records
in MC-071 and in this collection were transferred to the Archives
in multiple accessions, it was difficult to determine the exact
provenance of the files within each; therefore the records in each
collection reflect the nature of their transfer to the Archives,
and not necessarily how the documents were originally filed.

3 manuscript boxes |

Scope and Content Note |
|
Contains correspondence, memoranda, brochures, and
reports. This series covers a variety of financial and campus
matters. Many of the folders contain material on fundraising,
scholarships, and the college's financial assets. Included in this
group are the 'General Education Board' folder, which covers that
groups financial appropriations to Bates, and the 'Marts and Lundy
Report,' a study made of the college's financial status and
fundraising prospects. The 'Million Dollar Fund' folder also
contains copies of the "Million Dollar News" newsletter. |
|
Some of the non-fiscal files include material on
the land donated for Garcelon Field and material on other gifts to
Bates including several Communion service settings, the Merrill
telescope, and a house at 128 Sabattus Street. The several files on
Commencement, Class Day, and Ivy Day, consist mostly of reports
from students and faculty about activities and outings during those
events. |
