Objectives and Organizations

Morgan State College is an institution of higher learning for Negro
youth devoting its primary efforts to the training of prospective
teachers for the junior and senior high schools and the preparation
of students for entrance to professional and graduate schools. It
also offers courses to women as home-makers and prepares students
for employment in recreational and leisure-time activities through
its departments of music, drama and physical education. Through
courses in commerce, training is given to students looking toward
careers in business.

In order to perform these functions as thoroughly as possible, the
College operates in three divisions, namely:

(1) The College

At the College plant, located on Hillen Road at its intersection with
Arlington Avenue, regular liberal arts and teacher-training courses
covering a standard four-year curriculum arc offered during the
regular school year.

(2) The Summer School

For six weeks in the summer, usually beginning on the last Monday
in June, the College offers at the Hillen Road site a variety of courses
planned to serve primarily the needs of the colored teachers of Balti-
more and the counties.

(3) The Afternoon and Evening Classes

Through cooperation with the Baltimore Department of Education,
courses are given daily throughout the academic year at the Douglass
High School of Baltimore offering in-service training to teachers and
an opportunity to others to avail themselves of college instruction.

The government of the College is vested in a Board of Trustee
consisting of nine members appointed by the Board of Public Works.
