MORGAN STATE COLLEGE
HISTORY

The College was chartered at the Centenary Biblical Institute on
November 27, 1867. In 1869 the first building was occupied at 44 E.
Saratoga Street, Baltimore. In 1880 the institution moved to larger
quarters at the corner of Fulton and Edmondson Avenues in Balti-
more. The late Dr. Lyttleton F. Morgan gave a sum of money to the
school in 1890, which enabled the institution to offer training on the
college level as a result of which the name of the school was changed
to Morgan College. In June, 1917, the College took title to its present
site, a tract of land formerly known as the Ivy Mills Property.

The College became part of the educational system of the State of
Maryland through an act of the General Assembly, Senate Bill 377,
approved May 3, 1939. The Bill provided for a commission of five
persons known as the "Commission on a State College for Negroes"
whose duty it was (1) to consider the advisability of acquiring the
property of Morgan College by the State for educational purposes
and (2) to enter into an agreement on behalf of the State with the
Board of Trustees of Morgan College for the acquisition of said
property, should the Commission decide favorably upon the transfer.
The Commission consisted of the following persons: John E. Semmes,
H. C. Byrd, B. Howell Griswold, Thomas W. Pangborn and A. W. W.
Woodcock.

As a result of negotiations between the Commission and the Board
of Trustees of Morgan College, it was agreed that the State should
pay to the Board of Trustees the sum of $225,000 for all of its physi-
cal property at the Hillen Road site. On the recommendation of the
Commission, the Board of Public Works on November 9, 1939, ac-
cepted the conditions and on November 20, 1939, the College was offi-
cially transferred to the State and its name was changed to "Morgan
State College." Later the Board of Public Works appointed a Board
of Trustees to have control of Morgan State College until such time
as the the General Assembly shall provide for the permanent manage-
ment of the institution.
