Joseph McKeen
Joseph McKeen (October 15, 1757 – July 15, 1807) was the first president of Bowdoin College of Brunswick, Maine.
==Life and career==
McKeen was born in Londonderry, New Hampshire, a town that his father and grandfather, John and James, who had come from the north of Ireland in 1718 to escape religious and political oppression, had helped to settle.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Joseph McKeen )〕 He graduated from Dartmouth College in 1774 when he was just seventeen years old. Except for a brief period when he fought under General John Sullivan in the American Revolution, he taught school in Londonderry until he became the Congregational minister of Beverly, Massachusetts in 1785. He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1796.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.amacad.org/publications/BookofMembers/ChapterM.pdf )〕
He remained in that position as minister until 1802, when he became president of Bowdoin. At the time, Massachusetts Hall was the only building available for officers and pupils on campus. In his inaugural address, he famously said that "Literary institutions are founded and endowed for the common good, and not for the private advantage of those who resort to them for education." Bowdoin's annual Common Good Day for community service refers to this statement. He remained president until his death in 1807.
He received a Doctor of Divinity degree from Dartmouth in 1803. Most of McKeen's publications were papers in the''Transactions of the American Academy of Arts and Science'' and some occasional sermons.
