COURSE IN THE HISTORY OF ANNAPOLIS

At the request of the St. John's College, the Archivist arranged for
a course to be given in the history of Annapolis at the Hall of Records.
The purpose of this course was to give those residents of this area who
might be interested an opportunity to prepare themselves for the Annap-
olis Tercentenary. The class met weekly from January 31 through May 2.
The lectures on political, economic, archival, and governmental history
were given by members of the staff of the Hall of Records, two by the
Archivist, two by Mr. Skordas, and three by Mr. Thomas. The history of
the St. John's College was given by Dr. Ford K. Brown, the history of the
United States Naval Academy by Professor E. B. Potter. The Colonial
houses were discussed by Mr. Orlando Ridout IV, and "Whitehall" was
made the subject of a special lecture offered by Mr. Charles Scarlett, Jr.
The religious history of Annapolis was outlined briefly by Mr. John P.
Trimmer.
