The University of Maryland is the State univer-
sity and the "Land-Grant" institution of Mary-
land. It is also a member of many associations
and organizations serving national interests and
needs. The University is, for example, one of only
50 members—25 private and 25 public—of the
Association of American Universities, whose
members are generally considered to be pre-emi-
nent in graduate and professional studies and in
research at the forefront of knowledge. The Uni-
versity of Maryland was founded at Baltimore 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 Uni-
versity of Maryland (Chapter 159, Acts of 1812).

The Maryland State College of Agriculture was
founded by Chapter 114, Acts of 1856, as the
Maryland Agricultural College, a private institu-
tion at College Park, and became the beneficiary
of the Land-Grant Act of 1862 (Chapter 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
original University of Maryland and the Mary-
land State College of Agriculture in 1920 creating
the modem University of Maryland with campus-
es at Baltimore and College Park (Chapter 480,
Acts of 1920). The Baltimore County Campus
was added in 1966. Two other campuses, Eastern
Shore and University College, were added in
1970.

The Eastern Shore Campus (UMES) at Prin-
cess Anne had diverse affiliations and several
names before becoming the University of Mary-
land Eastern Shore on July 1, 1970. The institu-
tion was founded in 1886 as the Delaware Con-
ference Academy for Negroes, under the general
control of what came to be known as Morgan
