Tuesday tavern tradition continues 20 years later

By CAROLYN WILLIAMS, ORIENT STAFF

Bars in Brunswick come and go, but over the years, only one has remained the go-to taproom for Bowdoin seniors on Tuesday nights: Joshua's Tavern on Maine Street. For seniors, having a beer on Tuesday nights at Joshua's constitutes a seemingly age-old ritual unique to the culminating year of their time at Bowdoin. Like most traditions, these Tuesday night gatherings do not require Digest posts or Facebook events to accrue attendees; they just happen. But the majority of students may not know the history behind what has been one of the staples of the Bowdoin senior experience for almost 20 years.


OPINION

EDITORIAL

Leaving Home

Will Bowdoin forget us? After spending four years on this campus, we'd certainly not like to think so. Having called so many dorms across campus our homes, worn in the seats of so many desks, and grown so familiar with faculty and friends, we've come to think of this place as our own, existing indefinitely just for us.
