Celebrating the Class of 1970: 50 Year Reunion

Bowdoin Orient Strike Edition, May 5, 1970

Less than twenty-four hours after gunfire fatally wounded four students at Kent State University, roughly 300 of Bowdoin’s own students met in Moulton Union to discuss a possible strike. A special edition of the Bowdoin Orient announced the result of the College community’s 727 to 207 vote in favor of striking. Read the Strike Edition of the Bowdoin Orient here.
