"1QQ  YEARS  EIF 
PROGRESS  <HND  PRIDE" 


With  the  strong  support  of  the  University  of  Maryland  Board  of  Regents  and  Central  Administration, 
UMES  has  developed  an  academic  program  above  and  perhaps  more  impressive  than  any  other  higher 
educational  institution  of  its  size  in  the  East. 


^<?seA9ft^ 


Today,  the  University  offers  not  only  a  well-constructed  and  varied  academic  program,  but  a  beautiful 
setting  that  is  conducive  to  learning.  It  provides  each  student  a  wholesome  experience  in  a  non- 
threatening  environment,  an  opportunity  to  develop  into  a  well-rounded  individual  who  is  able  to 
assume  leadership  in  today's  society. 

As  the  University  enters  its  second  century,  there  is  no  limit  to  the  progress  that  can  be  made  or  the 
educational  apex  that  can  be  reached. 


DEDICATIO]\ 


Dr.  William  P.  Hytche, 
Chancellor 

In  appreciation  of  ten  years  of  outstanding  service  and  achievements,  the  staff  readily 
selected  Dr.  William  P.  Hytche,  as  the  honoree  for  the  Centennial  Yearbook. 

As  a  campus,  we  are  appreciative  of  his  tireless  service,  his  loyalty,  his  dynamic  leadership, 
his  genuine  concern  for  students  and  his  personal  commitment  to  the  academic  enhancement  of 
UMES  through  research  and  programs.  His  duties  and  responsibilities  have  carried  him  to  many 
countries  abroad,  and  this  has  added  to  the  international  flavor  that  is  prevalent  on  our  campus. 
This  dedication  page  is  our  small  way  of  saying,  "Thanks  for  bringing  this  campus  successfully 
in  another  century."

Student  Life 


The  Process  Continues 


HARD  AT  IT  .  .  . 


while  some  consider  it  a 
serious  case  of  perpetration, 
others  know  that  they  are  hard 
at  their  work.  During  class 
everything  is  taken  seriously 
as  students  prepare 
themselves  for  making  the 
grade  here  and  eventually 
making  it  in  the  real  world. 


AND  TAKING  IT  EASY 


And  when  it  comes  to  a  time  for  just 
"cooling  out,"  students  tend  to  put  the 
books  aside  and  make  the  best  of  their 
free  time.  And  when  this  happens, 
sometimes  studies  are  far  from  their 
minds  in  an  attempt  to  escape. 
From  the  sometimes  hot  and  dry  yard, 
to   the   cool   comfort   of  the   Student 


Development  Center,  students  find  a 
nice  place  to  take  a  break.  While  some 
engage  in  meaningful  conversation  or 
playful  moments,  others  enjoy  the 
solace  of  solitude.  But  everyone  knows 
that  this  free  time  does  not  last 
forever,  and  it's  back  to  being  "hard  at 
it." 


THE  MANY 

FACES 

OF  OUR  CAMPUS 

U.M.E.S.  has  an  array  of  per- 
sonalities all  rolled  up  into  one 
beauiful  campus.  The  scenic 
quiet  setting  of  the  yard  and  its 
surrounding  structures,  as  well 
as,  the  jovial  attitudes  that  the 
students  display  give  visitors  a 
sense  of  our  beautiful  "home 
away  from  home." 


■L 


Looking  in  Different  Directions 


As  the  year  settles  in  and  students  enjoy 
the  campus,  there  appears  to  be  an  air  of 
diversity  about.  Even  still,  students  from 
different  modes  of  campus  life  are  able  to 
enjoy  themselves,  from  the  fraternal  in- 
volvement of  "finding  that  diamond  in 
the  sky"  —  to  the  Sigmas  cooling  out  on 
their  plot  —  to  the  Alphas  who  simply 
have  a  "chill  effect."  Who  will  ever  real- 
ly know  "which  way  to  go?"

It's  Fall  Festival  Time.  The  Student 
Development  Center  vi^as  soaring  with 
action  as  various  organizations  and 
^^^^^   groups  joined  together  to  make  the 

Fall  Indoor  Festival  a  success.  There 
was  music  to  dance  to,  games  to  play,  good  food 
to  indulge  in,  and  plenty  of  people  to  converse 
with.  A  lot  of  energy  was  exerted  by  those  who 
had  an  active  hand  in  making  the  Fall  Festival 
come  alive,  and  the  student  body  was  able  to 
enjoy  the  experience  to  the  fullest.

The  Process 
Continues  .  .  . 


Throughout  the  day  as 
students  juggle  their  classes, 
work  and  extracurricular 
activities,  they  encountered 
many  different  people. 
Some  were  faculty 
members  who  motivated 
and  challenged  them. 
Others  were  fellow  students 
out  to  fulfill  dreams.  But, 
whether  they  were 
students,  faculty  or  staff 
members  they  each  brought 
a  special  magic  to  the  UMES 
experience.

To  thee  dear  Alma  Mater 
We  raise  our  grateful  song 
Thou,  through  thy  noble  teachings 
Hast  made  thou  children  strong; 
And  thousands  still  shall  praise  thee. 
All  earth  shall  hear  their  swell. 
And  bind  our  hearts  yet  closer. 
To  thee  we  love  so  well. 

We  love  thy  spacious  campus. 
We  love  thy  tow'ring  halls. 
And  hallow'd  are  the  lessons 
We've  learned  within  thy  walls. 
Stand  thou  forever  glorious. 
Full  rob'd  in  living  green; 
Shine  thou  in  endless  splendor 
Beneath  thy  trees  serene. 

Maryland,  Maryland,  home  of  Maroon  and 

Grey 
Maryland,  Maryland,  thee  we  will  love  always. 
All  hail  to  thee  fair  Maryland 
All  glory  be  to  thee! 
Grow  thou  in  strength  and  honor 
Through  all  eternity!

University  of  Maryland  Eastern  Shore 

Taking  Pride  in  Our  Long  History 


Residenls  or  Somersel  County  who  like  progress  can  ^J*^ 
point  with  pride  to  Maryland  Stale  College,  the  local 
Eastern  Shore  Institution,  which  has  grown  from  humble 
origins  to  a  great  enterprise  for  the  education  of  youth  of 
Maryland.  The  College  is  now  a  recognized  landmark 
rendering  many  worthwhile  services  to  the  citizens  of  the 
State. 


The  Old  Milk  House 


Campus  as  it  used  to  be  . 


Olney,  Built  In  1798 


First  Classes  Held  in  Olney,  Built  1798 


Founded  in  1886,  the  College  held  its 
first  classes  in  an  old  colonial  dwelling  called 
Olney.  This  building  was  situated  near  the 
outskirts  of  town  on  the  unpaved  road  to 
Salisbury.  Ezekiel  Haynie,  a  physician  of 
Snow  Hill,  built  Olney  in  1 798  when  George 
Washington  was  still  alive. 

With  many  claimants,  Olney  remained  in 
possession  of  the  heirs  of  Haynie  until  a 
court  decision  in  1867  ordered  the  property 
to  be  sold  under  the  trusteeship  of  Isaac  D. 
Jones,  then  a  lawyer  of  Princess  Anne  and 
Attorney  General  of  the  State.  Jones  sold  the 
entire  Haynie  estate  to  his  friend  James  U. 
Dennis,  one  of  the  wealthiest  men  of  the 
County.  Eventually,  Olney  passed  through 
the  hands  of  Louis  W.  Morris,  Beulah  Hirst, 
Aaron  D.  Woodruff,  and  John  A.  B.  Wilson. 
Morris  and  Woodruff  were  local  residents 
and    Wilson    was    presiding    elder    in    the 


Methodist  Church. 

Persuaded  by  Joseph  Waters,  a  native  of 
Fairmount,  Wilson  sold  the  property  to  the 
school  despite  some  local  objections.  John 
F.  Goucher,  after  whom  Goucher  College 
was  name,  made  the  down  payment. 

By  the  time  Olney  was  deeded  to  the 
school,  it  was  badly  in  need  of  repairs,  hav- 
ing deteriorated  to  the  extent  of  being  used 
as  a  granary.  Trees,  weeds,  and  tall  grass 
were  all  around  Olney  when  the  school  first 
opened.  Inside  the  building  the  walls  were 
beginning  to  crumble.  The  elegance  of 
Olney  in  Haynie's  day  had  passed,  never  be- 
ing entirely  recaptured  or  recreated.  College 
officials  now  say  that  Olney  will  be  torn 
down,  but  the  building  is  still  in  use  despite 
some  destruction  by  a  fire  in  1919  and  the 
telling  effects  of  lime  and  age. 


Pezavia  OConnell  1861-1930 
Third  Principal  1899-1902 


First  Students  and  Teachers 


Methodist  Control 


The  firsl  sluderils  enrolled  in  September  of  1886  were  put  lo  work  cleaning  ihe 
grounds  and  making  repairs  on  OIney.  There  were  only  nine  students  to  enroll,  there 
were  thirty-seven  in  attendance.  Most  of  the  firsl  students  came  from  the  County,  bear- 
ing such  well  known  family  names  as  Dennis,  Gale.  Maddox.  Tilghman.  and  Waters. 

The  firsl  teachers  were  Benjamin  0.  Bird,  the  principal,  his  wife  Portia,  and  an  assis- 
tant named  Jacob  C.  Dunn.  Bird  and  his  wife  were  natives  of  Virginia,  but  Dunn  came 
from  Queen  Anne's  County.  Bird  was  a  faithful  worker  for  school  and  community  and 
for  many  years  the  school  preserved  his  memory  through  the  Bird  Lyceum,  a  student 
organization  that  passed  out  of  existence  by  1930  ...  In  1940.  Crystal  Bird  Fauset.  a 
former  member  of  the  Legislature  dedicated  a  new  mechanic  arts  building  in  his 
memory.  Bird  died  in  1897  and  was  buried  on  the  campus. 


Most  of  the  names  were  given  when  the  school  was  under  the  control  of  the 
Methodist  Church.  Methodists  really  look  the  lead  in  founding  the  school.  They  ad- 
ministered it  until  the  State  took  over  completely  in  1936.  Early  Methodists  set  up 
the  school  as  a  Branch  of  the  Centenary  Biblical  Institute  of  Baltimore  with  the  idea 
in  mind  that  the  school  would  be  a  preparatory  one. 

Receiving  support  from  various  Methodist  Conferences  during  the  early  years, 
the  school  look  the  name  of  the  Delaware  Conference  in  which  it  was  located. 
Although  graduation  certificates  were  given  yearly  beginning  in  1887,  there  was  no 
four  year  graduating  class  unli'  1904.  Methodist  discipline  and  leadership  were 
planted  early  in  the  history  of  the  school  and  continued  until  1936.

College  Given  Many  Names 


The  college  has  had  many  names  in  its  history  and  the  various  names  seem  lo  have 
indicated  the  type  of  program  and  control  in  existence  at  the  school.  There  have  been 
such  names  as  the  Delaware  Conference  Academy,  Industrial  Branch  of  Morgan  Col- 
lege, Princess  Anne  Academy,  Eastern  Branch  of  the  Maryland  Agricultural  College, 
Princess  Anne  College,  and  since  1947,  Maryland  State  College.  Oldlimers  slip  up

Federal  and  State  Support 

From  High  School  to  College 


Most  of  the  financial  support  after  1900  came  from 
I-ederal  land-grant  funds  under  the  Morrill  Acts  and 
the  Nelson  Amendment.  In  order  for  the  State  of 
Maryland  to  continue  to  receive  Federal  funds  under 
an  act  of  1812,  it  was  necessary  for  the  State  to  give  its 
legislative  assent  to  the  Morrill  Act  of  1890.  This  act 
set  up  the  principle  that  no  land-grant  funds  for 
education  were  to  be  used  in  any  state  where  a 
"distinction  of  race  or  color  is  made."  Land  Grant 
Funds  went  to  the  Maryland  Agricultural  College  in 
College  Park,  a  predecessor  of  the  present  University 
of  Maryland. 

Receiving  only  six  thousand  dollars  in  appropria- 
tions from  the  State,  officials  in  College  Park  dicl  not 
wish  to  lose  the  badly  needed  funds  which  made  up  a 
large  part  of  the  budget.  Accordingly  the  President  of 
the  Maryland  Agricultural  College,  Henry  E.  Alvord. 
was  very  interested  in  having  Federal  funds  continue 
at  his  college  until  the  Assembly  could  meet  and  take 
action  on  the  Morrill  Act  of  1890.  The  Assembly  was 
then  meeting  biannually  on  even  numbered  year's  and 
would  not  hold  its  next  session  until  1892,  two  years 
after  the  Morrill  Act  of  1890  became  effective.  This 
would  delay  the  receipt  of  funds  at  College  Park.  So 
Alvord  go  in  touch  with  Goucher  and  the  two  men 
drew  up  a  contract  on  December  31,  1890  designating 
the  Academy  to  receive  Federal  funds  in  compliance 
with  Morrill  Act  of  1890.  The  Academy  was  given  the 
name  of  the  Eastern  Branch  of  the  Maryland 
Agricultural  College  by  this  contract,  and  the  institu- 
tion in  College  Park  was  set  up  as  the  administrative 
agency.  But  in  reality  control  continued  to  be  exer- 
cised by  the  Trustees  of  Morgan  College. 

One  month  after  the  contract  was  signed,  Alvord 
reported  to  Governor  Elihu  Jackson  of  Salisbury  that 
the  land-grant  issue  was  of  "utmost  importance,"  and 
that  the  Board  of  Trustees  at  College  Park  desired  "to 
fully  meet  the  spirit  of  the  new  law"  by  designating 
the  Academy.  Alvord's  report  contained  the  following 
statement:  To  save  time  and  economize  expenditures, 
advantage  was  taken  of  the  existence  of  a  school  for 
colored  persons  in  Princess  Anne,  in  Somerset  Coun- 
ty, known  as  the  Normal  and  Industrial  Branch  of 
Morgan  College  of  Baltimore.  A  legal  contract  has 
been  made  witn  the  representatives  of  that  institution, 
by  which  the  school  in  Princess  Anne,  becomes  the 
Eastern  Branch  of  the  Maryland  Agricultural  College 
and  will  so  continue  until  the  next  meeting  of  the 
General  Assembly  of  the  State,  At  the  next  Assembly, 
legislators  gave  legal  assent  to  the  Morrell  Act  of  1890 
and  indicated  approval  of  the  contract. 

Under  the  Nelson  Amendment  to  the  Morrell  Acts, 
the  school's  share  of  Federal  funds  was  increased  to  a 
sum  of  $10,000  by  1913.  This  sum  with  student  fees, 
made  up  practically  all  of  the  income  of  the  Academy. 
Yet,  some  persons  in  the  State  attempted  to  have  this 
income  distributed  among  other  scnools,  including 
the  teacher's  college  at  Bowie.  But  the  United  States 
Bureau  of  Education  insisted  that  the  Academy  and 
the  institution  in  College  Park  were  to  remain  the  sole 
recipients  of  Morrill  funds. 

In  1936,  the  State  agreed  to  pay  the  Trustees  of 
Morgan  for  their  interests  in  the  school. 


In  1936,  the  old  Academy  had 
been  transformed  from  a  high 
school  to  a  college.  This  transforma- 
tion had  been  brought  about  during 
the  principalships  of  Frank  J.  Trigg 
and  Thomas  W.  Kiah. 

A  native  of  Virginia,  Trigg  served 
as  the  principal  of  the  Academy 
from  1902  until  1910.  Trigg  brought 
with  him  the  influence  of  Hampton 
Institute  and  Booker  T.  Washington, 
his  classmate.  Trigg  and  his  staff  did 
much  to  make  the  Academy  a  first 
rate  high  school. 

Thomas  W.  Kiah,  a  native  of 
Virginia  served  as  principal  from 
1910  until  his  death  in  1936.  With 
an  increase  in  free  public  educa- 
tion, there  was  a  decline  in  the 
Academy's  enrollment  after  World 
War  I.  A  junior  college  program  was 
instituted  under  Kiah  to  meet  the 
competition  from  public  schools. 
This  idea  failed  to  bring  desired 
results  so  it  was  later  abandoned  to 
make  the  Academy  a  full  fledged 
four  year  college.  The  State  was 
reluctant  to  make  appropriations  for 
expansion  and  furthermore  World 
War  II  intervened  with  its  inroads 
into  student  enrollment. 


A  major  program  was  instituted  shortly  after  the  end  of  World  War  II. 
The  program  was  designed  to  revolutionize  life  at  the  College.  The 
development  added  a  new  outlook  at  the  school.  By  almost  any  yard- 
stick, the  changes  made  since  the  War  have  led  to  the  establishment  of 
a  first  rate  four  year  college  program. 

The  changes  have  been  for  reaching,  touching  every  aspect  of  college 
life.  For  example  the  construction  of  many  buildings  has  changed  the 
shape  and  size  of  the  campus.  Old  timers  who  come  back  have  been 
amazed  and  well  pleased  with  the  progress.  Buildings  constructed  dur- 
ing the  past  two  years  include  two  dormitories  for  men,  a  classroom 
building,  a  dining  hall,  a  faculty  apartment  building,  faculty  cottages,  a 
dairy  and  poultry  plant,  and  a  splendid  agriculture  building.  An 
athletic  field  has  been  built;  pavements  have  been  laid;  and  several  old 
structures  have  been  razed  or  moved.  The  face  of  the  campus  has  been 
lifted  by  landscaping,  drainage,  and  changing  the  course  of  the  old  road 
to  Salisbury  which  passes  by  the  campus. 


There  have  been  many  other  changes  since  the  War:  A  competent  and 
well  qualified  staff  was  obtained  to  carry  out  the  offerings  in  several 
specialized  fields.  The  staff  was  greatly  enlarged  under  the  new  program. 
The  entire  organization  of  the  College  was  streamlined,  being  divided  into 
four  major  divisions  of  Agriculture,  Arts  and  Sciences,  Home  Economics, 
and  Mechanical.  Industries.  A  new  curriculum  was  carefully  devised  for 
each  Division  and  published  in  new  catalogues. 

The  student  enrollment  was  increased  considerably,  to  three  times  the 
size  for  any  given  year  since  the  school  first  opened. 

Appropriations  for  maintenance  nearly  quadrupled  those  for  pre-War 
years  and  an  Air  Force  Reserve  Officers  Training  Corps  was  added. 

The  College  Library  increased  fifteen  times  its  number  of  volumes  and 
athletic  programs  became  nationally  recognized.  An  impressive  list  of  na- 
tionally known  speakers  has  continually  added  much  to  the  community. 
The  College  received  its  present  name  as  a  symbol  of  its  new  program.

INDUSTRIAL  ARTS  AND  HOME  ECONOMICS 


Activities  and  social  events  were  encouraged.  Football,  homecoming, 
cheerleading,  and  ROTC  are  some  of  the  many  programs  thai  are  now 
or  have  flourished  over  the  years.

The  Board  of  Regents  of  ihe  Universily  of  Maryland 
employed  the  flrsl  presidenu  Dr.  John  T.  Williams.  Dr. 
Williams  was  a  native  of  Oklahoma  and  a  former  dean 
of  Kentucky  State  College.  Able  as  an  administrator,  he 
provided  leadership  with  distinction  in  making  a  newer 
and  better  College  in  Princess  Anne. 

The  College  is  intimately  a  part  of  the  history  of 
Somerset  and  the  Shore.  Its  roots  are  deep.  Its  work  has 
been  a  lasting  contribution  to  the  people  of  the  County 
and  the  State.  Its  future  is  more  promising  than  ever 
before.  Us  doors  are  always  open  to  visitors  and  friends. 
Maryland  Stale  College  has  truly  become  "The  Peo- 
ple's College.'" 

In  1948,  the  Eastern  Branch  of  the  University  of 
Maryland  popularly  known  as  Princess  Anne  College 
became  officially  Maryland  Stale  College,  A  Division  of 
The  University  of  Maryland. 

The  first  head  of  the  institution  to  bear  the  title  of 
president  had  been  employed  in  September  1947. 
When  the  new  administration  of  the  college  was  begun, 
the  President  was  instructed  by  both  the  executive  of- 
ficer of  the  Board  of  Regents  and  the  chairman  at  that 
lime  that  he  musl  build  a  good  college;  the  land-grant 
function  musl  be  carried  out;  and  as  well  as  possible  the 
graduates  of  the  school  must  be  of  such  caliber  that 
their  educational  status  would  be  unquestioned. 


Dr.  John  T.  Williams  and  the  Board  of  Regents 


According  to  the  catalog  of  1947-48,  the  purpose  of  the 
College  is  to  offer  training  in  theory  and  practice  by 
which  a  student  can  make  advancement  in  his  field  of 
study  and  develop  his  powers  to  understand  the  world  in 
which  he  lives;  to  choose  wisely  his  life  work,  and  to 
function  agreeably  and  effectively  in  the  society  which 
he  must  help  to  maintain. 

The  realization  of  this  purpose  is  sought  through: 

1.  Carefully  planned  four-year  curricula  in 
Agricultural  Education,  Home  Economics  Educa- 
tion, Mechanic  Arts  and  Industrial  Education,  and 
two  years  of  Arts  and  Sciences. 

2.  Wholesome  extra-curricular  activities  for  training 
in  good  sportsmanship,  health  development,  and  the 
proper  use  of  leisure  time. 

The  Legislature  for  the  first  time  (Maryland 
Legislature)  almost  quadrupled  the  annual  appropria- 
tions for  maintenance  of  the  College  by  raising  it  from 
$33,183.00  to  $113,633.00.  This  increase  meant  a  better 
paid  faculty,  a  larger  faculty,  and  more  efficient  teaching 
for  students  and  the  beginning  of  research. 


In  September  1947,  the  President  of  the  University  and 
the  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Regents  met  in  the  office  of 
the  President  of  the  Princess  Anne  College  (now 
Maryland  State  College)  and  carefully  emphasized  the 
importance  of  students  and  employees  respecting  the 
mores  and  folkways  of  the  people  of  the  local  geographic 
area,  and  the  immediate  need  of  strengthening  the  offer- 
ings of  the  college. 


In  1947,  Higher  Education  in  Maryland  made  a  recom- 
mendation that  Princess  Anne  College  should  be 
abolished.  The  principal  reasons  being: 

1.  The    college    is    unfortunately    located,    access    is 
difficult. 

2.  The  institution  has  no  recognition  by  national  or 
regional  accrediting  agencies. 

3.  It  can  never  hope  to  attract  a  student  body  for  effi- 
cient operation. 

4.  As  a  branch  of  the  University  of  Maryland  it  has 
been  shamefully  neglected. 


5.  The  control  of  a  negro  college  by  a  Board  of  Regents 
w^hose  main  interest  is  in  a  State  University  for 
white  students  is  not  likely  to  result  in  satisfactory 
facilities  for  negro  students. 

On  December  17,  1947,  the  Legislative  Council  met  on 
the  campus  of  Maryland  State  College  to  consider  for- 
mally the  necessity  for  continuing  the  existence  of  this 
particular  state-suppcrted  institution. 


The  growth  of  the  campus  was  accelerated  during  this  time. 


A  general  feeling  of  opposition  was  directed  toward 
the  decision  of  the  group  that  recommended  that  the  col- 
lege should  continue  its  operation.  Views  expressed  by 
the  news  media  and  certain  groups  in  the  State  were  so 
adverse  that  a  newly  elected  Governor  of  Maryland  in 
his  inaugural  address  included  a  statement  to  the  effect 
that  there  would  be  no  increase  in  funds  for  the  college 
until  certain  answers  were  forthcoming  and  a  number  of 
decisions  had  been  made. 

In  1947,  the  assertion  rang  so  loudly  throughout  the 
State,  negro  citizens  organized  the  Eastern  Shore 
Citizens'  Association  in  an  attempt  to  defend  the  college. 
The  association  sent  750  people  to  Annapolis  to  witness 
the  attempts  of  their  elected  officers  to  explain  to  the 
Governor  of  the  State  their  desire  to  have  the  programs 
of  the  college  continued  and  improved.  The  Maryland 
State  College  National  Alumni  Association  was 
motivated  to  send  several  different  small  groups  and 
committees  to  seek  the  ear  of  the  Governor  and  the 
members  of  the  Board  of  Regents.  The  Governor  did  not 
see  fit  to  grant  or  recommend  funds  for  capital  outlay  for 
the  construction  of  buildings.  Not  one  single  appropria- 
tion was  granted  the  college  over  an  eight-year  period. 


The  years  mentioned  were  crucial  years  for  the  Col- 
lege. A  new  administration  had  just  begun,  and  there 
was  almost  universal  questioning  of  the  accreditation  of 
the  college,  in  comparison  with  the  status  of  the  College 
Park  area  of  the  University. 

The  State  Legislature  of  1957  made  the  first  clear-cut 
appropriation  of  funds  for  the  construction  of  buildings 
since  1949.  By  this  time,  there  could  be  no  question  con- 
cerning the  accreditation  of  the  institution,  because  in 
1953  the  Middle  States  Association,  in  a  separate  evalua- 
tion, had  given  its  approval  for  full  accreditation  of 
Maryland  State  College. 

By  way  of  comment,  the  Middle  States  Accrediting 
Association  in  its  report  of  that  year  stated,  in  part: 

"Finally  to  be  noted  is  the  extraordinary  spirit  of 
cohesiveness  and  optimism  which  pervades  the  Princess 
Anne  campus.  From  the  President  to  the  last  freshman, 
these  people  are  convinced  that  there  is  a  job  to  do,  con- 
fident that  they  can  do  it,  grateful  for  the  resources 
which  have  already  been  put  at  their  disposal,  hopeful 
that  their  very  considerable  needs  will  continue  to  be 
met  by  the  University  and  State."

Within  the  "One  Hundred  Years"  of 
University  history,  there  have  been 
many  changes,  both  physically  and 
academically.  For  instance,  Kiah  Hall, 
once  a  landmark  on  the  campus 
outgrew  its  usefulness  and  safety,  as  a 
result,  it  was  recently  dismantled.  For 
"Maryland  Staters"  Kiah  Hall  holds 
many  memories  of  commencements, 
cultural  programs,  homecoming 
dances,  and  basketball  games. 

Waters  Dining  Hall  is  still  standing, 
noted  not  only  for  its  scrumptuous 
meals,  but  also  for  the  opportunity  it 
offered  to  "meet  and  eat." 

Wilson  Hall  and  "Enghsh"  are 
synonymous  so  if  one  graduated  from 
UMES  or  Maryland  State,  they  passed 
through  Wilson  Hall. 

If  the  walls  of  Murphy  Hall  could 
talk,  they  would  weave  a  best  seller.

Profile  of  Her 

Majesty 
Veronica  Brisco 

Her  majesty,  Veronica  Yvonne  Brisco,  is  the  second  of  four  children  born  to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  John  William 
Brisco.  She  was  born  on  June  3, 1964,  in  Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania. 

Business  Administration  is  Ms.  Brisco's  major  with  a  concentration  in  management.  Upon  completing 
her  education  here  at  the  University  of  Maryland  Eastern  Shore,  Veronica  plans  to  further  her  education 
by  going  on  to  graduate  school. 

Ms.  Brisco  believes  that  God  is  always  on  her  side  in  times  of  hardship  and  in  glory.  "Nothing  comes  to 
you  on  a  silver  platter."  One  must  strive  for  success  and  advancement  in  life;  for  he  who  toils  tenaciously 
for  what  he  wants  will  learn  to  appreciate  it  more,  because  he  has  worked  hard  to  get  it.  She  also  believes 
that  self-respect  will  flow  from  such  individual  effort  and  striving.  Happiness  comes  from  within,  one 
must  believe  in  himself  in  order  for  others  to  believe  in  him. 

Her  motto  in  life  is,  "the  bonds  that  chain  the  body  cannot  imprison  the  spirit,  so  fly  as  high  as  thy  wings 
will  allow",  and  always  remember  the  sky  is  the  limit. 


Accept  Me 


I  am  I 

Do  not  change  me 

Condemn  me  nor  put  me  down 

Accept  me  for  what  I  am 

No  .  . .  you  need  not  agree  with  me 

But  accept  me,  for  I  am  total  in  being 

I  have  my  faults,  I  have  my  guilts 

But  that  is  who  I  am 

Perfect  I  will  never  be 

Do  not  put  me  down  . .  .  nor  make  me  feel 

unhappy  about  me 

I  am  I 

and  I  like  being  what  I  am 

Me. 


Each  year  the  prestigious
