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
former University of Maryland was founded in 1807 as the College
of Medicine of Maryland. In 1812, it enlarged its curriculum and
changed its name to the University of Maryland. Subsequently, it
added faculties of law (1823), dentistry (1882), nursing (1889),
and pharmacy (1904). The Maryland State College was founded
in 1856 as the Maryland Agricultural College, a private institution
at College Park, and became the beneficiary of the Land-Grant Act
of 1862. In 1914, the State assumed complete control of the school
and in 1916 the Legislature granted it a new charter, which re-
named the school the Maryland State College. 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 institution.

The University is under the administration of a Board of Regents
consisting of eleven members appointed by the Governor for nine-
year terms. The Board appoints the President of the University,
who also serves as chief administrative officer of the Board. The
Board of Regents, within the limits prescribed by law, may issue
revenue bonds to finance the building of dormitories and other stu-
dent housing facilities, student union buildings (at College Park
and Baltimore), and a combination physical education and audi-
torium building. The Regents are to issue such bonds directly. The
payments of the principal and interest of the bonds are to be met
from revenue realized from the use of the buildings (Code 1951,
Art. 77, secs. 241-51).

The main campus of the University is located at College Park.
Instruction is given here in the undergraduate and graduate courses
of the College of Agriculture, College of Military Science and Tac-
tics, College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business and Public
Administration, College of Education, College of Engineering and
Aeronautical Sciences, College of Home Economics and the College
of Physical Education, Recreation, and Health. Also located at Col-
lege Park are the Graduate School, the Summer School, and the
offices of the College of Special and Continuation Studies.
