Morgan State College was organized in 1867, under the auspices
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, as the Centenary Biblical Insti-
tute. The school remained under church jurisdiction until the State
of Maryland purchased it in 1939. In 1890, the school's name was
changed to Morgan College in honor of Dr. Lyttleton Morgan, whose
gift of a large sum of money enabled the school to offer academic
work at the college level. In 1917 the College moved from its for-
mer location on Edmondson Avenue, Baltimore, to its present loca-
tion on Hillen Road. Morgan State College is under the direction
of a board of nine trustees appointed by the Governor with the
advice and consent of the Senate for nine-year terms, one term
expiring each year. The administration of the College is vested in
the president, who is appointed by the Board of Trustees (Code
1951, Art. 65A).

Morgan State College devotes its primary efforts to training
prospective teachers for the junior and senior high schools and to
preparing students for entrance to graduate and professional schools.
It also offers courses in commerce; courses for women in homemak-
ing; and courses in music, drama, and physical education. The
College operates in three divisions: (1) The College, which offers
a standard four-year course in the liberal arts and teacher training;
(2) The Summer School, which meets for six weeks each summer
and is designed primarily to offer "in-service training" to teachers
in Maryland schools; (3) The Evening School, which offers college
level courses and "in-service" teacher training each evening through-
out the academic year. During the academic year 1955-56, Morgan
had an enrollment in all divisions of 2,875; 2,147 regular students,
148 evening students, and 580 summer students.
