The Maryland State College, Division of the University of Maryland
(formerly Princess Anne College), is a state supported land-grant
college. It offers courses leading to a bachelor's degree in agriculture,
home economics, industrial and mechanic arts, and liberal arts and
sciences. The external government and control is vested in the Board
of Regents of the University of Maryland and the Maryland State
Board of Agriculture.
The College was founded in 1886 as the preparatory branch of the
Centenary Bible Institute, chartered in 1867 and renamed Morgan
College in 189O. The preparatory branch was known as the Delaware
Conference Academy. By the Morrill Act of 1890, the College received
federal funds and became known as the Princess Anne Academy, or
"Eastern Branch" of the Maryland Agricultural College. In 1919, by
agreement with Morgan College, the University of Maryland assumed
control of the College, although it remained in the hands of the trus-
tees of Morgan College until 1936. The State purchased it by Chapter
548, Acts of 1936.
