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
Baltimore 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 (Chapter 53, Acts of 1807). In 1812,
it enlarged its curriculum and changed its name to the University of
Maryland (Chapter 159, Acts of 1812). Subsequently, it added facul-
ties of law (1823), dentistry (1882), nursing (1889), and pharmacy
(1904). The Maryland State College of Agriculture was founded by
Chapter 114, Acts of 1856, as the Maryland Agricultural College, a
private institution at College Park, and became the beneficiary of the
Land-Grant Act of 1862 (Chap. 178, Acts of 1865). By Chapter 129,
Acts of 1914, the State assumed complete control of the school and
in 1916 the Legislature granted it a new charter, which renamed the
school the Maryland State College of Agriculture (Chapter 372, Acts
of 1916). The General Assembly consolidated the University of Mary-
land and the Maryland State College of Agriculture in 1920 and gave
the name University of Maryland to the new institution (Chapter 480,
Acts of 1920).

The University is under the administration of a Board of Regents
consisting of eleven members appointed by the Governor by and with
the advice and consent of the Senate. Members appointed to the
Board prior to 1960 serve for nine years; members appointed in 1960
and thereafter serve for terms of seven years (Code 1957, 1962 Supp.,
Art. 77, sec. 249B). The Board of Regents, within the limits prescribed
by law, may issue revenue bonds to finance the building of dormitor-
ies and other student housing facilities, student union buildings (at
College Park and Baltimore), and a combination Physical Education
and Auditorium building. The Regents are to issue such bonds directly.
