Biographical / Historical
The College of Technology was first included in the University of Maine Catalog in the 1902-1903 term. The College of Technology provided instruction in Mining Engineering (later dropped), Agricultural Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Civil Engineering, Engineering Physics, Mechanical Engineering, and Forestry (later known as Pulp and Paper Technology). The College offered Bachelor of Science Degrees and Associate of Science Degrees. In 1973, the College was renamed the College of Engineering and Science. In 1989, departments from the College of Engineering and Science and the College of Life Sciences and Agriculture merged with the College of Sciences, resulting in College name changes for the College of Engineering and the College of Applied Sciences and Agriculture. By the 1993-1993 academic year the College of Engineering and Science had split into the individual College of Engineering and College of Science.
The following individuals served as deans of the College: Harold Sherburne Boardman (1910-1926), Paul Cloke (1926-1950), Ashley S. Campbell (1950-1957), Weston S. Evans (1958-1962), Thomas H.
