COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER The Class of 1936 is fortunate in securing Professor Robert Tristram Coffin of Bowdoin College for its Commencement speaker on Monday, June 8. Professor Coffin recently won the Pulitzer prize for the best collection of poetry published during the year. A graduate of Bowdoin in 1915, he secured his Master’s degree from Princeton University in 1916. During the World War he served in the 72’d Artillery Regiment in the A. E. F. Following the War, he received the honor of being appointed a. Rhodes Scholar from Maine to Trinity College of Oxford University. Later, for a number of years, he was professor at Wells College, leaving there to accept the position of professor of English at Bowdoin. Professor Coffin is the author of many books, essays and collections of verse. His collection of poems “Strange Holiness” won him the award for being the most outstanding poet of 1935. “Lost Paradise,” a story of a boy’s life on a Maine farm, has won laudatory comments from critics as has the biography of his father “The Portrait of an American.” —Tack Miltimore
