Historical NoteCharles Franklin Phillips served as Bates fourth President, from 1944 to 1967. Phillips guided the College into the post-war years, continuing to expand the academic offerings and the faculty, and placing more of an emphasis on business and economic training for students. Phillips also oversaw the creation of the "Bates Plan of Education," which continued to emphasize the centrality of liberal arts education during a students academic tenure. The campus physical presence also grew, as some fourteen buildings were added. Return to the Table of Contents Scope and Content NoteThe bulk of the records of the Phillips administration consists of his regular letters to Bates faculty, alumni, and Trustees, which he wrote during the entirety of his tenure. In these series of correspondence Phillips wrote of academic and financial activities, as well as many campus social activities. The records also contain other items of correspondence, including a few scattered letters and memoranda, most significantly correspondence received from honorary degree recipients. There are also three folders--mostly correspondence--on the purchase and reorganization of public television station WCBB in Augusta by Bates College.
