Coburn Hall
Abner Coburn of Skowhegan was a trustee of the °µÍø¸£Àûapp from 1867–79. During that period, he served as president of the Board. In the president’s portion of the College Report for 1885, the following reference appears: “The earnest and abiding interest manifested by Ex-Governor Coburn in this institution renders his removal by death from further participation in its affairs, a loss seriously felt by all connected with the College as the loss of a warm personal friend. The magnificent contribution which he made in his will to further endowment of the College will stand as a lasting memorial to the generosity of his nature and to his sympathetic interest in the cause of industrial education.”
