90 Miles

Welcome to the Ramp Gallery, a new student exhibit space at the Hawthorne-Longfellow Library.

Come see our inaugural exhibit: “90 Miles,” a photography essay by Jack Mensik ’14. Jack’s beautiful photographs, taken in Cuba last summer on his study abroad experience, enhance and illustrate his written observations about the culture and social and political climate in modern Cuba.

“90 miles across those waters lies a world that is very different from the one Cubans have known all their lives. The US is truly so close yet so far away. Cubans keep up with American pop music by tuning into American radio stations. I would sit on the Malecón at night and wonder if I could see the lights from Key West.”

The Ramp Gallery, located underground in the space between H-L and Hubbard Stacks, will be available for exhibitions of student work from all disciplines: photography, fiber arts, science poster presentations, etc. Work completed for classes or independently are both welcome.

Interested in exhibiting your work in the gallery? Email a brief proposal to Michelle E. McDonough.

Chaucer After Chaucer

Reading the Medieval
In the Renaissance And Beyond

The works of the Middle English poet Geoffrey Chaucer have been read, referenced, and studied almost continually since the poet’s death in 1400. The books in this exhibit bring together items from Bowdoin’s collections that illustrate some of the ways in which the poet’s text and reputation have been transmitted since then. Many of these items bear evidence of their use by Bowdoin students and faculty: the 1610 edition of Foxe’s Actes and Monuments includes a stamped due date of February 1, 1929, while the lecture notes of then-Professor Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain explain his decision to focus on Chaucer in a class on the development of English literature.

This exhibition was researched and prepared by students in Megan Cook’s Spring 2013 course on Chaucer:
