The Eastern Shore Campus (UMES) at Princess
Anne had diverse affiliations and several names
before becoming the University of Maryland East-
ern Shore in 1970. The institution was founded in
1886 as the Delaware Conference Academy for
Negroes, under the general control of what came
to be known as Morgan College, then a private in-
stitution in Baltimore. By the Morrill Act of 1890,
the Academy received federal funds and became
known as the Princess Anne Academy. This fund-
ing began a relationship with the then Maryland
Agricultural College, although the campus contin-
ued to be a part of Morgan College. College level
work began at Princess Anne in 1927. The State
authorized purchase of the Academy in 1935
(Chapter 548, Acts of 1935) and, in 1936, Prin-
cess Anne Academy became a division of the Uni-
versity of Maryland. The institution bore the
name of Maryland State College from 1948 until
1970.

The Eastern Shore Campus (UMES) offers cur-
ricula in the arts and sciences, business, agricul-
ture, and other areas; pre-professional training;
extension education; and marine, estuarine, and
environmental sciences. Research and public
services organizations at UMES include the
Maryland Cooperative Extension Service, Mary-
land Agricultural Experiment Station, Institute
for Eastern Shore Studies, and the Soybean Re-
search Institute.

the World War II period. In 1947 the College of
Special and Continuation Studies was established
to administer the off-campus evening programs.
Its principal officer was the dean. It was renamed
University College in 1959. In 1970, the College
was designated as one of five major UM campuses
headed by a chancellor.

The Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station
was established following passage of the federal
Hatch Act in 1887. The Act made available to the
states grants-in-aid for research pertaining to agri-
culture. Now both State and federal funds support
these activities.

Administrative headquarters are located on the
College Park Campus, as are laboratories for re-
search in the animal and plant sciences, agricul-
tural engineering, agricultural and resource eco-
nomics, rural sociology, and home and consumer
economics. Provisions are made for maintenance
of experimental herds, flocks, field and tree plots,
and for investigations of soils, and insect and dis-
ease control (Chapter 55, Acts of 1888, as
amended).

Research is conducted at eleven locations
throughout the State, with particular attention to
