MARYLAND MANUAL 83 institution at College Park, and became the beneficiary of the Land- Grant Act of 1862 (Chapter 178, Acts of 1866). 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 Maryland 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). In accordance with 1963 legislation authorizing the University to establish a branch in Baltimore County, the University of Maryland, Baltimore County Campus (UMBC) opened initially to freshmen students in September 1966 (Code 1967, 1965 Repl. Vol., Art. 77, sec. 251A). 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. By Chapter 615, Acts of 1969, the present members of the Board will serve terms of five years from the date of their appointment. These members shall each be eligible for reappointment for one additional term of five years. The terms of all members appointed in 1969, and thereafter shall be for five years from the first Monday in June of the year of appointment. Members appointed to fill vacancies occurring during a term shall serve for the remainder of the term, and they shall be eligible for reappointment to two full terms of the Board. Three members shall be selected from lists of nominees, which shall be submitted to the Governor by the Maryland Agricultural Commission and shall con- tain the names of at least two nominees for each office to be filled (Code 1957, 1966 Repl. Vol., 1969 Supp., Art. 77, sec. 249b). The Board of Regents, within the limits prescribed by law, may issue revenue bonds to finance the building of dormitories and other student housing facilities. Student union buildings at College Park and Baltimore have been constructed as well as a combination Physical Education and Auditorium building at College Park. The Regents issue such bonds directly with the payments of principal and interest made from revenues realized from the use of the buildings (Code 1957, 1965 Repl. Vol., Art. 77, sees. 249-59J). There are three principal campuses of the University located at Col- lege Park, Catonsville, and at Baltimore. At College Park, instruction is offered for both undergraduate and graduate students in the Colleges of Agriculture, Arts and Sciences,Business and Public Administration, Education, Engineering, Home Economics and Physical Education, Recreation, and Health. Graduate level instruction is offered in the School of Library and Information Services. Also located at College Park are the Graduate School, the Summer School, and the offices of University College. 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 |
