The latter college operates the evening school program at College Park and a self-supporting college level program at off-campus centers throughout the State of Maryland. It also main- tains overseas centers for United States personnel in the European, North Atlantic and Far East military operations. The second principal campus of the University is located in Balti- more, at Lombard and Greene Streets. This campus accommodates the University's professional schools of Dentistry, Law, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy and Social Work. The Psychiatric Institute, Health Services Library and the University Hospital are located here and affiliated through professional programs with each of the six schools. Evening courses are also offered in Baltimore by University College. The third principal campus is located in Catonsville at the south- west corner of the intersection of the Baltimore Beltway and Wilkens Avenue. This campus is being developed to encompass the full four- year course range for the programs offered. The UMBC Graduate Center offers graduate level courses for part- time students to meet the area need. Maryland State College—Division of the University of Maryland 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 mechanical 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 1890. 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 trustees of Morgan College until 1936. The State purchased it by Chapter 548, Acts of 1935. STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE The Board of Regents of the University of Maryland acts as the State Board of Agriculture. As such, the Board administers the State laws relating to a number of service and control programs. These programs include the State weights and measures law; livestock disease control; plant pest control; mosquito control; inspection, grad- ing and promotion of agricultural commodities; soil conservation and drainage; inspection laws relating to seed, feed, fertilizer, pesticides, liming materials, and methods of weighing, sampling and testing of milk. |
