Morgan College was chartered originally in 1867. Some Instruction
was given, using Church and Sunday School rooms for five years. In
1872 the school was formally opened at Nn. 44 West Saratoga Street.
Baltimore, under the name of the Centenary Biblical Institute.

The work at first was elementary with Bible training for those pre-
paring for the ministry. In 1860 the school was moved to Its present
location, corner of Fulton and Edmondson Avenues, .ind toe course of

study broadened, especially to Include normal Instruction for both men
and women

In 1880 the coarse of study was still further broadened, the faculty
Increased and the College given its present name, Morgan College, after
Rev. Lyttleton F Morgan. D.D.

In 1880 Princess Anne Academy was opened as a branch school on
