Alumni Relations: Office Files, Records, and Publications, 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.
The Office of Alumni Relations, currently a division of the Office of Development and Alumni Relations, is the liaison between the college and its alumni.
This collection contains office files of the Office of Alumni Relations. Files include information on Alumni Club activities, reunions and reunion classes, as well as Alumni Council meetings. Copies of Bowdoin, the alumni magazine, and Whispering Pines are also included.
This series contains records of the Alumni Council. The Alumni Council was created in 1914. It is the governing body of the Bowdoin Alumni Association. The original council consisted of 12 members elected by a general ballot of the alumni. The first meeting, held in 1914 at Commencement, was chaired by Kenneth C.M. Sills '01, who was then Dean of the College. The records contain minutes of the council meetings, results of elections and general business papers. Also includes information about alumni events including homecomings, commencements, and reunions. Reunion synopses are filed in the fall meeting folder of the reunion year. For reunion and homecoming brochures dating from 1987 see Events Office: Academic Year Programs. Alumni Council manuals and handbooks, published sporadically, are located in the general folder for the specific year.

This series contains records of the Bowdoin Clubs. In 1989 there were sixty-two recognized Bowdoin Clubs throughout the United States and overseas. The Director of Alumni Relations oversees, but does not plan or coordinate Bowdoin Club activities. The clubs perform a variety of functions. They sponsor social and educational activities for alumni in their local area, and involve alumni in college service, especially in identifying and developing the interest of prospective students. The records document the activities of individual Bowdoin Clubs, particularly concerning visits from college personalities or Alumni Association officials. Also includes information on the Bowdoin Teachers Club.
Arrange alphabetically by geographic region.

In 2002, Alumni College resumed, offering a week-long summer program for alumni anually centering on a particular topic or theme. Files contain records of Alumni College participants, brochures and correspondence among administrators. Also included are articles and information on alumni colleges at other institutions.

The Whispering Pines publication was issued by the Alumni Fund from 1933-1955; its major feature being the Alumni Fund report. The first bound volume of The Whispering Pines includes Alumni Fund reports from 1920. In 1962 the format changed to an informal newsletter for parents and alumni concerning College events, necrologies, and College news of general interest. In 2007 the format changed again. After the March 2007 issue, The Whispering Pines ceased to be a separate publication, and became an essay at the back of each issue of Bowdoin magazine.
