The 1948 <em>Bowdoin Bugle</em> included this two-page spread of the Alpha Rho Upsilon fraternity, which Bowdoin students formed in 1946.
They chose the letters ARU to stand for "All Races United." The fraternity was founded with the goal of giving Jewish people and Black people their own group so that they would feel accepted.
Bowdoin's student newspaper, however, observed that the formation of ARU merely enabled the other fraternities to continue engaging in anti-Semitic discrimination. Its editors demanded that all fraternities accept Jewish students as members, which they eventually did.

Guy Howard
Guy Howard, the son of Oliver Otis Howard and Elizabeth Waite Howard, wrote to his father, then a general in command of the Army of the Tennessee, to thank him and the "officers" for the gift of a pony. His uncle, Lt. Charles H. Howard and a former slave, George Washington Kemp, had delivered the pony about two weeks before.
Guy Howard, then about 9, along with his mother and three sibilings, were spending the winter in Leeds with Eliza Howard Gilmore, their grandmother. Her husband, John Gilmore, had died in the fall.
Gen. Howard wanted Kemp, known as "Wash," to remain at Leeds and assist his mother on the farm.
Guy Howard wrote, "It is just what I have been wanting so long. Wash is a very nice man and takes good care of my pony."

Elizabeth Waite Howard
Lizzie Howard wrote to her husband, Gen. O.O. Howard, commander of the Army of the Tennessee, commenting on war news they had received about Gen. William Sherman's activities. Howard's troops were accompanying Sherman.
She and their four children were spending the winter in Leeds with Howard's widowed mother, Eliza Gilmore. The general's family lived in Augusta while he was at war.
Lizzie Howard wrote about a trip she and their son Guy took to Lewiston. They were driven there by George Washington "Wash" Kemp, a former slave who was living at Leeds to aid Eliza Gilmore.
Howard wrote, "'Wash' drove us down and he attracted much attention as we drove through the streets, one man remarking as he passed, 'there is a contrast.'"

Guy Howard
Guy Howard, the 9-year-old son of Gen. Oliver Otis Howard and Elizabeth Waite Howard, wrote to his father in April 1865 to report on the progress he was making with a pony his father and other army officers had sent him.
Accompanying the pony to Maine was George Washington Kemp, a former Tennessee slave who had left his plantation to follow the Union army. "Wash" remained in Leeds with Howard's mother, Eliza Gilmore, a widow.
Guy wrote, "I have been writting a letter for Wash." He commented in several letters how "nice" Wash was. He also wrote, "Wash and I went to the store at Green depot to buy some things for Grandma in a wagon."

Oliver Otis Howard
General Oliver Otis Howard, commander of the Army of the Tennessee, wrote from North Carolina to his son James Howard (1860-1936), who was in Leeds with Howard's widowed mother, his wife, Lizzie, and their other three children.
Howard expected that when James received the letter, Lizzie and the two older children, might be visiting him in the South.
He wrote about a dog at their camp, and drew a picture of it, and wrote about the "great number of little black children papa has seen," and drew a picture of them.
He also wrote, "You must ask 'Wash' about them. Papa thinks 'Wash' is a very good man."
"Wash" was George Washington Kemp, a former slave sent to Maine by Howard to help his mother on the farm. Howard's letter also mentions Sam, another former slave and friend to Wash, who was a servant to Howard.

Elizabeth Waite Howard
Lizzie Howard wrote to her husband, Gen. Oliver Otis Howard, engaged in the march to Atlanta with the Union Army, to describe the wedding of Julia McDermott (or McDonald), a former slave who had followed the Union army from east Tennessee with her two young daughters.
Gen. Howard brought "Julia," as she was called throughout the letter, and her two children, to Maine at the end of January 1864, when he returned briefly on furlough. Julia was to serve as cook for Lizzie Howard and her four children, who lived in Augusta.
At the end of November 1865, Julia married Frederick Brown at the Howard home in Augusta. Brown, also a former slave, had come to Maine with an officer of the 15th Maine Infantry, in 1864.
Lizzie Howard describes to her husband the wedding of the two former slaves, and explains what she has done for Julia and her daughters during the time they have lived with her.

Charles Henry Howard
Lt. Charles Howard (1838-1908), an aide to his brother, Gen. O.O. Howard, commander of the Army of the Tennessee, wrote to his elder brother about his arrival at their mother's home in Leeds.
Charles was greeted by his brother's children, who, along with O.O. Howard's wife, Lizzie, were spending the winter in Leeds. The Howards' stepfather had died in the fall of 1864 and their mother, Eliza Gilmore, was alone, which was part of the reason Charles obtained a furlough to go home.
Charles took with him George Washington Kemp, a former slave who had been in O.O. Howard's service in Tennessee. "Wash" and Charles also had with them a pony for Howard's son Guy, then about 9 years old.
"Guy was crazy with delight," Charles wrote. G.W. Kemp remained at Leeds to aid Howard's mother. The Howards' found his wife and children in the South and they joined him there after the war.
The letter also discusses the feasibility of Eliza Gilmore remaining on the farm in Leeds.
