The present University of Maryland is the result of the merger of the former privately owned University of Maryland located in Baltimore with the former Maryland State College at College Park. The former University of Maryland was founded in 1807 as the College of Medicine of Maryland (Chapter 63, Acts of 1807). In 1812, it enlarged its curriculum and changed its name to the University of Maryland (Chapter 159, Acts of 1812). Subsequently, it added facul- ties of law (1823), dentistry (1882), nursing (1889), and pharmacy (1904). The Maryland State College of Agriculture was founded by Chapter 114, Acts of 1856, as the Maryland Agricultural College, a private institution at College Park, and became the beneficiary of the Land- Grant Act of 1862 (Chap. 178, Acts of 1865). By Chapter 129, Acts of 1914, the State assumed complete control of the school and in 1916 the Legislature granted it a new charter, which renamed the school the Maryland State College of Agriculture (Chapter 372, Acts of 1916). The General Assembly consolidated the University of Maryland and the Maryland State College of Agriculture in 1920 and gave the name University of Maryland to the new institution (Chapter 480, Acts of 1920). In accordance with recent legislation authorizing the University to establish branches in several areas of the State, construction has begun on a branch in Baltimore County, which will open initially to fresh- man students in September 1966 (Code 1957, 1965 Supp., Art. 77, sec. 251A). The University is under the administration of a Board of Regents consisting of eleven members appointed by the Governor by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. Members appointed to the Board prior to 1960 serve for nine years; members appointed in 1960 and thereafter serve for terms of seven years (Code 1957, 1965 Supp., Art. 77, sec. 249B). |
