The article reproduces an address by Bowdoin to the Massachusetts General Court on June 2, 1786 that mentions Harvard and in which Bowdoin recommended the General Court "confirm to the college all the land grants that have been made to it as above mentioned; and to secure to it one share in all such townships, as may hereafter be granted."

Edition Notes

Title supplied by cataloger.

The clipping was received in the Harvard College Library on November 5, 1920 using Bright Funds. The clipping was originally cataloged as part of HUA 786.2.

James Bowdoin (1726-1790), governor of Massachusetts, was born on August 7, 1726 in Boston, Mass. He received an AB from Harvard in 1745, an AM in 1748, and an LLD in 1782. After graduation he became a merchant and land developer, and was involved in the American scientific community. In 1753, he was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives and, in 1757, the General Council. Bowdoin was elected Governor of Massachusetts in 1785 upon the resignation of Governor John Hancock (Harvard AB 1754), but lost his reelection bid in 1787. Bowdoin died on November 6, 1790.
