Willard F. Enteman: Administrative Records, George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, Bowdoin College Library, Brunswick, Maine
The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
Willard F. Enteman served as the eleventh president of the College from 1978-1980. Enteman received an M.B.A. from Harvard University. Following several years of teaching philosophy at Wheaton College, he was appointed chair of the philosophy department at Union College. Enteman became Bowdoin's eleventh president in 1978. His brief tenure came to an end in 1980, when conflicts between the President and the Governing Boards over the direction of the College were deemed irreconcilable. Enteman was succeeded by A. Leroy Greason.
This collection contains general office files of Willard Enteman. As material in folders often overlaps presidential administrations, the researcher may wish to consult the records of former and subsequent presidents for relevant information on a particular subject.
This series contains reports of the President of Bowdoin College. The reports may include information on admissions, graduation, necrologies, retirements, finances and appointments. A report from the Librarian is included in many of the issues, as is a report from the Dean of the College, now Dean for Academic Affairs.
