Biographical History
The University of Maine saw approximately 1,000 students and alumni serve in World War I and 3,900 serve in World War II. Both wars had a strong effect on the university and its students; the desire to honor those who had served and to memorialize those who had died led to various activities on campus. After the end of World War I, funds were raised to erect the Memorial Gymnasium and Armory and after World War II, those who had died were honored in a volume titled "University of Maine, World War II: In Memoriam." The Alumni Association sent questionnaires to all who had served and maintained files of their service.
Maine Day was established in 1935 by University of Maine President Arthur A. Hauck as a day for students to plant trees, build sidewalks, paint fences, and generally improve the campus. The purpose of the day changed over time, and in 1973 it became not just a day for improving student-faculty relations but also a day to aid worthwhile causes. In later years classes were cancelled so that students could participate in a day of work and fun.
