Morgan State College was organized in 1867, under the auspices of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, as the Centenary Biblical Institute.
The school remained under church jurisdiction until the State of Mary-
land 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 former location on
Edmondson Avenue, Baltimore, to its present location 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 1957, Art. 65A).

Morgan State College devotes its primary efforts to training pros-
pective teachers for the junior and senior high schools and to prepar-
ing students for entrance to graduate and professional schools. It also
offers courses in commerce; courses for women in homemaking; 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 throughout the academic year. During
the academic year 1959-60, Morgan had an enrollment in all divisions
of 2,579: 1,972 regular students, 191 evening students and 789 summer
students.
