President's Report, Phillips, 1954

For most of its history, the Presidents of Bates College have issued annual reports documenting the state of affairs of the administration, student body, and any other aspects of the college that they saw fit to report. During President Cheney's tenure, these reports were published as an Address of the President to the Corporation, or governing body of the college. Beginning with President Chase, they were issued as annual reports, and usually contained annual reports from other administrative officers of the college. Starting with the 1903-1904 year, each report has been published as an issue of the Bates College Bulletin, excepting the Reynolds reports from 1974-1975 to 1989, and the Harward reports from 1990 to 1996-1997. Please note that there are no annual reports for the years 1979 to 1988.
