404/Maryland Manual

College, then a private institution in Baltimore.
By the Morrill Act of 1890 the Academy received
federal funds and became known as the Princess
Anne Academy. This funding began a relation-
ship with the then Maryland Agricultural Col-
lege, although the campus continued to be a part
of Morgan College. College level work began at
Princess Anne in 1927. The State authorized pur-
chase of the Academy in 1935 (Chapter 548, Acts
of 1935) and, beginning in 1936, Princess Anne
Academy became a division of the University of
Maryland. The institution bore the name of
Maryland State College from 1948 until 1970.

In accordance with 1963 legislation authorizing
the University to establish a campus at Catons-
ville in Baltimore County, the University of
Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) opened ini-
tially to freshmen students in September 1966
(Code Education Article, sec. 13-104f).

Evening courses were offered by various depart-
ments and colleges of the University from the
1920s through the World War II period. In 1947
the College of Special and Continuation Studies
was established to administer the off-campus eve-
ning programs with a dean as the principal officer.
The name was changed to University College in
1959. In 1970 the unit was designated as one of
five major UM campuses headed by a chancellor.

The University of Maryland is under the ad-
ministration of the Board of Regents, consisting
of fifteen members who are citizens of Maryland.
Fourteen of the members are appointed by the
Governor with the advice and consent of the Sen-
ate. The remaining member, the Maryland Secre-
tary of Agriculture, is ex officio with voting privi-
leges. Two of the members must be students at
different campuses of the University of Maryland,
appointed for one-year terms from July 1. Each
may be reappointed if he/she remains a student
at any campus of the University. Board members
serve without compensation but are paid their
reasonable and necessary expenses while engaged
in the discharge of their official duties. With the
exception of the Secretary of Agriculture and the
student members, all members appointed after
July 1, 1969, serve five-year terms. Appointed
members may not serve more than two consecu-
tive terms. Members appointed to fill vacancies
occurring during a term serve for the remainder
of the term and are then eligible for reappoint-
ment (Code Education Article, sec. 13-102).

The Board of Regents, within the limits pre-
scribed by law, may issue revenue bonds to fi-
nance the building of dormitories and other stu-
dent housing facilities. The Regents issue such

bonds directly with the payments of principal and
interest made from revenues realized from the use
of the building (Chapter 22, Acts of 1978).

Campuses of the University are located in
Baltimore (UMAB), Catonsville (UMBC), Col-
lege Park (UMCP), and Princess Anne (UMES).

ing education courses and programs at sites
