| 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. |

Historical Note
Founded as Maine State Seminary in 1855, and reincorporated
under its present name in 1863, Bates College has had seven
presidents during its history. It is not clear when the office of
Assitant to the President was created, but the first notable
assistant was Harry Rowe, who served in that capacity from 1924 to
1946. Since many of the records come from Rowe's tenure as
Assistant, they reflect the variety of activities in which he was
involved. Rowe even added commentary to some of the folders,
included ones that pre- and post-dated his tenure.

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 five series: I. General
Administrative; II. Wills and Gifts; III. Trustees; IV.
Departmental/Faculty Correspondence; and V. Honorary Degrees. 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.
The files under each series are arranged alphabetically by
folder title. See each series note for more detailed
information.
