Edmund S. Muskie, March 26, 1996.
A statesman whose fairness, hard work, and devotion to his native state endeared him to his fellow Mainers, Edmund S. Muskie created a rigorous model of public service for those who followed him.

Graduating from Stephens High School in 1932, Muskie entered Bates and graduated cum laude with membership in Phi Beta Kappa. A mathematics major who later switched to history and government, Muskie participated in debate throughout his College career, which piqued his interest in political issues of the day. Muskie received a law degree from Cornell University, served in the U.S. Navy in World War II, and entered politics in the Maine Legislature before becoming the state's governor in 1955, serving two two-year terms. He was a U.S. senator from Maine from 1959 to 1980, the first elected Democratic U.S. senator in Maine's history. His efforts to revitalize the Maine Democratic Party caught the attention of national party leaders, and in 1952 Muskie was named to the Democratic National Committee; he later chaired the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. In the Senate, Muskie was one of the first public figures to champion environmental causes. Those efforts, which earned him the nickname "Mr. Clean," included passage of the landmark Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act of 1963. During the mid-1970s, he became the champion of fiscal discipline as Congress created its own budget-making process. Muskie first gained national prominence in 1968, when Democratic presidential nominee Hubert Humphrey chose him as running mate. Muskie captivated the nation; using his debate experience, he sometimes invited hecklers to share the speaking platform with him. With a dry sense of humor, an engaging personality and eloquent speaking abilities, political analysts dubbed him "Lincolnesque." In 1972, Muskie was the early front-runner as a Democratic presidential hopeful, but he lost the nomination to George McGovern. Muskie's career as a politician ended as secretary of state under Jimmy Carter in 1980-81. In later years, he was senior partner in the Washington, D.C., law firm of Chadbourne & Parke.

He received an honorary doctor of laws degree from Bates in 1955 and the Benjamin E. Mays Medal in 1984. In 1985, the College dedicated the Muskie Archives, the repository of his papers. Muskie often visited Bates in the summer as guest of honor of the Muskie Summer Scholars program and the Edmund S. Muskie Fellows program.
