On a brilliant fall day, students stroll by the George and Helen Ladd Library, one of the most central and important facilities of the college, providing areas for study, research and access to information in a variety of formats.
Orientation for the Class of 2013 helped ease first-year students into Bates life by offering something for everyone: settling into residence halls, surfing the Ogunquit coast, a high-energy student activities fair, and considering President Elaine Tuttle Hansen's Convocation talk about the freedom to make one's own choices. In this slide show we share a few of these experiences. Photographs by Phyllis Graber Jensen.
Thomas Hedley Reynolds, known for nearly three decades of transformational leadership at two Maine educational institutions, died Tuesday, Sept. 22, at his home in Newcastle, Maine, after a long illness. He was 88 years old.
His wife of 24 years, Mary Bartlett Reynolds, was with him at the time of death.
Reynolds served as president of Bates College from 1967 through 1989, and of the University of New England from 1990 to 1995. His success as commander of an armored unit in the Mediterranean theater of World War II came to symbolize Reynolds' qualities as an academic leader: far-reaching vision, decisiveness and energetic determination.

“I spent a week documenting sustainable energies in Denmark and came across a series of wind turbines scattered throughout a farm of canola flowers. The seeds are used to create biofuel.” — David Al-Ibrahim ’09, Fyn, Denmark
We chose them for mostly subjective reasons, like the sweet spectrum of yellow seen in the first two photographs — canola flowers seen here and saffron dye in the second image.
Another reason came from Mark Andrews '09, whose photograph from Equatorial Guinea is in this slide show, taken while armed military personnel were escorting him and his friends from their camping area. (more...)

On one of their three sea-going geology trips along the Maine coast, students paddle 13 miles from Stonington to Isle au Haut.
"Participants must be able to swim." That's the only requirement, besides a 100-level geology course, for a Short Term geology course exploring the Maine coast by sea kayak.
What an ideal Short Term: relaxing on the beach, paddling through pristine wilderness, getting to know the wilder parts of Maine. Professor of Geology Dyk Eusden '80, however, enjoys delivering a reality check. "It is a lot of work," he says. "And it is tiring."
