[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Bowdoin is just down the road from the former Brunswick Naval Air Station. My wife and I like to stop in Brunswick to eat at Fat Boy’s (next to the base) on our way to Camden, Maine. You pass right by the Bowdoin Pines on your way to Fat Boy’s. Nice tradition old New England Campus, and the “atmosphere” is nowhere near as ratty as Ivy League or other prestige campuses.

What exactly is a "ratty Ivy League prestige campus" you described?
The reference escapes me.

Good for Bowdoin College for helping this son of the slain NYPD officer.
It won't bring his dad back, yet will certainly help education finances.
