Bates College (/beɪts/)[5] is a private liberal arts college in Lewiston, Maine. Anchored by the Historic Quad, the campus of Bates totals 813 acres (329 ha) with a small urban campus which includes 33 Victorian Houses as some of the dormitories. It maintains 600 acres (240 ha) of nature preserve known as the "Bates-Morse Mountain" near Campbell Island and a coastal center on Atkins Bay. With an annual enrollment of approximately 1,800 students, it is the smallest college in its athletic conference.

The college was founded in 1855, by abolitionist statesman Oren Burbank Cheney and textile tycoon Benjamin Bates. It became the first coeducational college in New England and the third-oldest college in Maine, after Bowdoin and Colby College. Bates provides undergraduate instruction in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and engineering. The undergraduate program requires a thesis upon graduation and maintains a privately funded research enterprise. In addition to being a part of the "Maine Big Three", Bates competes in the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) with 31 varsity teams, and 9 club teams.

The students and alumni of Bates maintain a variety of campus traditions. Bates alumni and affiliates include 86 Fulbright Scholars;[6] 22 Watson Fellows;[7] 5 Rhodes Scholars;[8] as well as 12 members of the U.S. Congress.[nb 1] The Bates Bobcats are a member of NCAA Division III and has produced 12 Olympians. The college is home to the Stephens Observatory and the Bates College Museum of Art.
