Excerpt from History of the Class of 1876: Bowdoin College, Issued for the Twenty-First Anniversary of the Class, July 12, 1872-July 12, 1893 Bowdoin College was advantageously situated. Brunswick was a pretty little town of about five thousand inhabitants, with streets Shaded by rows of stately elms. It was not large enough to afford much excitement; the students generally found more of interest within the college, and yet they were not so much deprived of society as those in a very small town like Hanover, N. H. It was on the main line of the Maine Central Railroad from Portland to Bangor, and the terminus of branch roads to Bath and Lewiston. The location was healthy, the soil was sandy, and a pine forest extended from the Campus on to the sea, some three or four miles away, where the deeply indented bays at Harpswell and Orr's Island formed most picturesque scenery; while on the other side, and separating the town from Topsham, ran the beautiful Andros coggin River, with its falls and mills, and below these the calm stretch, used as a boating course, down to Cow Island and the old mill point.
