The Maine Annex

Following World War II, the federal G.I. Bill enabled approximately 2.3 million, predominently white male Veterans to receive a post-secondary education. In addition to covering tuition costs, Veterans received a "subsistence" stipend to cover the cost of housing and other expenses. To accommodate increased enrollment, between 1947 and 1949, UMaine operated an annex campus located on the Brunswick Naval Air Station where Veterans could enroll in first-year courses before moving to the Orono campus to complete their education. Five hundred and five male Veterans enrolled for classes on the Brunswick campus in fall 1947.
