Bates College, - Bates College Annual Catalogue 1919-1920.

Lewiston, ME, Bates College, 1919. G PB. Bates College grew out of the Maine State Seminary, chartered in 1855. In 1862, 16 young men in this school petitioned the. Trustees for collegiate instruction. In the fall of 1863 the first Freshman class was admitted and in the winter of 1864 a new charter was secured, and Maine State Seminary became Bates College. The name Bates College was given by the Trustees in grateful acknowledgement of the generosity of Mr. Benjamin E. Bates of Boston, Mass., one of the founders of the city of Lewiston. Mr. Bates had taken a warm interest in the Seminary, and it was his encouragement, with a subscription in 1863 of $25,000, that led to its development into the College. To that sum he subsequently added $75,000. Mr. Bates died in 1877. Other friends have generously aided the Institution, but nome of their benefactions have surpassed in amount the gifts of Mr. Bates." There follows a description of Lewiston and the character of the college. Some pulling away of the text from the endpapers, small separation of the ends of the spine from the booklet.
