The University

The University of Maryland is the State university and the "Land-
Grant" institution of Maryland.

The present University of Maryland is the result of the merger of
the former privately owned University of Maryland located in Balti-
more with the former Maryland State College at College Park. The
first institution was founded in 1807 as the College of Medicine of
Maryland. In 1812, the General Assembly passed an act enabling
the College of Medicine to enlarge its curriculum and changed its
name to the University of Maryland. Subsequently, faculties of law
(1823), dentistry (1882), nursing (1889), and pharmacy (1904) were
added. The Maryland State College was founded as the Maryland
Agricultural College, a private institution at College Park, in 1856.
This school became the beneficiary of the Land-Grant Act of 1862.
In 1914, the State assumed complete control of the school and in 1916
a new charter, which renamed the school as the Maryland State Col-
lege, was granted by the State Legislature. The General Assembly
consolidated the University of Maryland and the Maryland State
College in 1920 and gave the name University of Maryland to the
new school.

The University is under the administration of a Board of Regents
consisting of eleven members appointed by the Governor for a term
of nine years. The Board appoints the President of the University
who also serves as chief administrative officer of the Board (Code
1947 Supp., Art. 77, sec. 235).
