BRUNSWICK — Bowdoin College held its annual Sarah and James Bowdoin Day ceremony Oct. 21 to honor those undergraduates who distinguish themselves with excellence in scholarship.
Those students who are designated Sarah and James Bowdoin Scholars are in the top (highest grade-point average) 20 percent of each class for the previous academic year. In addition, those scholars who earned a GPA of 4.0 are designated Sarah and James Bowdoin Book Award winners.
