BRUNSWICK — Driving rain and blustery conditions forced the Bowdoin College graduation inside for the first time in 27 years Saturday.
Four hundred and sixty four graduates, 55 from Maine, received degrees at a ceremony inside the Sidney J. Watson Arena at the private liberal arts college, the oldest college in Maine.

Lee Herter.
