The school of Governor/Brevet Major General Joshua Chamberlain, the Hero of Gettyburg.

That is so nice to hear.

OK, so how long before we start hearing whining about not offering free tuition for children of the murderer?

While I don't know it for a fact, would any of us be surprised to learn that he has left a scattering of kids distributed to various babymamas?

For the most part, modern Bowdoin is a left wing mediocre east coast liberal arts college. Nice to see them trying to do the right thing, for once.

A great story! I read earlier that the New York Yankees were going to pay for the education costs. Maybe they can find something else they can do.

if only nyc had a billionaire mayor or 2 that could help

Good on them for doing this.

And for the news media: why is the gunman “suspected” while Officer Wilson “murdered” someone?

[mrsmel]

And notice that this young man wasn’t “about to turn his life around”-he was already an actual student, already going to school and presumably making the necessary grades to be there.

[I want the USA back]

Very nice. Are they feeling a little guilt?

[Vermont Lt]

Not a fan of Bowdoin, but this is a classy thing to do.

[livius]

That is wonderful! Putting Bowdoin on my to-recommend-list.

Nice of the school...and (and I’m a Red Sox fan) of George Steinbrenner’s Silver Shield charity to offer to pay for him. Steinbrenner has a public high school in Tampa named for him along with a Boys and Girls Club...
