Description: Lewiston, MAINE - Bates College - Chapel - 1937: Bates College is a private liberal arts college in Lewiston, Maine. It is equidistant from the state capital, Augusta, to the north, and the cultural hub Portland to the south. Anchored by the Historic Quad, the campus of Bates totals 813 acres (329 ha) with a small urban campus which includes 33 Victorian Houses as some of the dormitories. It maintains 600 acres (240 ha) of nature preserve known as the "Bates-Morse Mountain" near Campbell Island and a coastal center on Atkins Bay. With an annual enrollment of approximately 1,800 students, it is the smallest college in its athletic conference. As a result of its academic rigor and small student body, Bates retains selective admission rates and little-to-no transfer percentages. The college was founded on March 16, 1855, by abolitionist statesman Oren Burbank Cheney and textile tycoon Benjamin Bates. Established as the Maine State Seminary, the college became the first coeducational college in New England and went on to confer the first female undergraduate degree in the area. Bates is the third-oldest college in Maine, after Bowdoin and Colby College. It became a vanguard in admitting minority students before the passage of the Emancipation Proclamation. This Linen Era postcard, published in 1939, is in good condition. Genuine Curteich-Chicago. “C.T. Art Colortone”. No. 7A-H3867. j. J. Mullane News Co. Lewiston, Maine.
