In 1802, Bowdoin held its first classes for eight students urged by the College's president to work "for the common good." Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote her bestselling abolitionist novel and one of the most influential books of all time, Uncle Tom's Cabin, on Bowdoin's campus, where her husband was an alumnus and a professor of theology.
