I will continue to question the moral duty of the Board of Trustees to support a Progressive Political individual, under, for an Honorary Degree. Essentially, the Trustees who represent every Alumnus of Bowdoin since the first graduating class, betrayed the Mission of the College. It is unconscionable to propose a person who is under Federal investigation by our Government.The Wisdom of our past collective leadership appears to have been tossed aside for the benefit of those with a trendy anti-U. S. Constition sentiment. Our Country is in middle of a renaissance for a strong and equal voice that represents the best interests if all American Citizens. The College has a duty to engage itself, Faculty, Students and Alumni in teaching “Applied Critical Thinking”, toward that end. The product of our continued Undergraduate and Education of Life Degrees goes to a core value of Bowdoin: “THE COMMON GOOD”. Our Trustees lost their way in allowing their self interests to invade Our Legacy and subtract from the revered Mission of Our College. “The Common Good” has been tarnished by politicians and other self-serving entities. Bowdoin needs to keep its place of honor and continue to encourage those who truly are in line with time tested princples. the people of Maine’s Upper Territory of Massachusetts gave their all to convince Gov.Bowdoin to mandate Charter for a College in once Brunswick, Massachusetts.
