The University of Maryland is the State univer-
sity and the "land-grant" institution of Maryland.
The University was founded at Baltimore in 1807
as the College of Medicine of Maryland (Chapter
53, Acts of 1807). In 1812, it enlarged its curricu-
lum and changed its name to the University of
Maryland (Chapter 159, Acts of 1812).

In the twentieth century, the University merged
with the Maryland State College of Agriculture.
The College was founded in 1856 as the Maryland
Agricultural College, a private institution at Col-
lege Park (Chapter 114, Acts of 1856). It became
the beneficiary of the Land-Grant Act of 1862
(Chapter 178, Acts of 1865). In 1914, the State as-
sumed complete control of the school (Chapter
129, Acts of 1914). Two years later, the General
Assembly, in granting a new charter, renamed the
school as the Maryland State College of Agricul-
ture (Chapter 372, Acts of 1916). The General
Assembly consolidated the original University of
Maryland and the Maryland State College of Ag-
riculture in 1920, creating the modem University
of Maryland with campuses at Baltimore and Col-
lege Park (Chapter 480, Acts of 1920). The Balti-
more County Campus was added in 1966. Two
other campuses, Eastern Shore and University
College, were added in 1970.
