FOREWORD
This book is merely a collection of diversi-
fied facts which are to be found in a number
of different places, and are collected together
in this small volume in order to help you to
become better acquainted with the history
traditions, and general life of the University
of which you are to become a part.
We, the editors of the "M" book of the
University, hope that the material that we
have gathered may in some small way help
you to acquire a better understanding of your
new life here.
Of advice, you will find little, but what we
do give we feel should be properly heeded in
order that you may benefit by the mistakes
that we who have gone before you have made.
You are now on your own, make the most
of it, and in any difficulty that you may find
yourself, the editors of this book stand ready
to help you.
Make the most of these next four years, and
beware of the most common malady of young
collegians. Procrastination.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Dear Marylanders :
Old students know, without need of wel-
coming words, that we are glad to see them
back. On them we depend, in great part, to
convey our real greeting to the newcomers
among us. Freshmen have yet to learn that
the University of Maryland is going to be a
real home to them, and old students play
perhaps the largest part in making this home
a home of wide opportunities, socially, in-
tellectually, morally, physically, and spirit-
ually.
To the newcomers to the campus we tell
you that we shall share with you all that
we have. We want to help you, and you have
only to let us know when help is needed.
You will have some adjustments to make,
but will find them much more easy than you
expect. Your own good judgment, aided by the
advice which will be yours for the asking,
should enable you to meet successfully any
problem that you are likely to encounter. We
shall be glad to lend a helping hand.
Personally, my office door is open to you
always.
Sincerely,
H. C. BYRD, President.

"M" BOOK GREETINGS FOR 1936-1937
A hearty welcome to all students at the
University for the year 1936-1937, whether
you be old ones returning or new ones enter-
ing our doors for the first time.
We hope the years spent on our campus
will be worthwhile in every way. Not every-
one is able to come to college and those of
you who are fortunate enough to have a col-
lege education should be deeply appreciative.
All work and no play makes Jill a dull
girl ! and in order to get the most out of
your college career you should take part in
some extra-curricular activities. However, this
does not mean to take part in too many, but
to choose wisely among the many offered you.
If you actively participate in two you will
derive more benefit than if you join so many
that you can only passively participate.
I am sure your college days will be happy
ones and ones that will be firmly imprinted on
your memory. Live them to the utmost !
Sincerely yours,
ADELE H. STAMP. Dean of Women.

HISTORY
Perhaps the best and most graphic illustra-
tion of the remarkable progress the University
of Maryland has made since its founding in
1807 is found on the College Park campus in
the old Mechanical Engineering Building, the
first building in the State devoted to the teach-
ing of engineering. Erected in 1895, this
building today forms a section only of the
Engineering group, which includes a small
auditorium, seating 250 persons, with other
buildings to house electrical engineering, civil
and mechanical engineering, their laboratories
and equipment, and with the original building
housing only a shop, and a few classrooms.
The advances made since its construction in
1895 are commensurate with the progress of
the entire University.
The present University of Maryland was,
originally, two separate institutions, the Uni-
versity of Maryland, founded in 1807 under
the name of the College of Medicine of Mary-
land, and the Maryland State College, founded
in 1856 at College Park as the Maryland Agri-
cultural College.
The College of Medicine of Maryland was
first located at Lombard and Greene Streeta,
in Baltimore, and the building which was
erected to house it in 1814-15 is the oldest
structure in America devoted to the teaching
of medicine.
In 1812, the General Assembly of Maryland
authorized the College of Medicine of Maryland
to "annex or constitute faculties of divinity,
law, and arts and sciences," these to form an
institution to be known as the University of
Maryland. In 1813, a move was made to es-
tablish the "faculty of law," and, in 1823, a
school of law was opened. Subsequently, a
College of Dentistry, a School of Pharmacy,
and a School of Nursing were added. The
first-named is the oldest Dental College in the
world.
25
In 1856 was established the Maryland Agri-
cultural College, which later became the Land
Grant College of Maryland. It was conducted
for a number of years as a private institu-
tion, but financial disasters and the general
depression which followed the Civil War made
it necessary for the College to appeal to the
State Legislature in 1866 for assistance. In
1916 a new charter was granted to it as Mary-
land State College and the State took complete
control. An act of the Legislature in 1920
united the old University of Maryland with
the Maryland State College, to form the present
University of Maryland with branches in Balti-
more and College Park.
Five new buildings have been erected within
the past three years and two more have just
been completed. Enrollment since 1912 has
jumped from 130 to 2,000.
Increased facilities are likewise noted in Bal-
timore, with a splendid new $1,500,000 hospital
recently completed, a new law building
opened two years ago, and a new dentistry and
pharmacy building but recently put into use.
Enrollment in the Baltimore branch of the
University averages about 1,600.

STUDENT PASTORS
Most of the major religious denominations
at Maryland have Student Pastors who min-
ister especially to the students of their denom-
ination. The Student Pastors have an office
in the Student Center, where each has his
office hours during the week. The Baptist,
Episcopalian, Presbyterian, and Lutheran stu-
dents have denominational clubs which meet
regularly during the year.

RULES GOVERNING MEDICAL EXCUSES
1. Students living in the dormitories, who
are ill and unable to attend classes, must re-
port to the INFIRMARY, between 8.00 and
9.00 A.M. If they are too ill to go to fche
Infirmary, they must notify the MATRON be-
fore 8.30 A.M., so the Doctor can be called to
the dormitory. If a student is taken sick at
any other time he must report to the INFIRM-
ARY, before going to his room.
2. Medical excuses for classes missed during
illness will be issued by the Infirmary physi-
cian or nurses, only when this procedure is
followed.
1. Office hours every day between 8.00 and
9.00 A.M., except on Sundays. Evening office

P.M. and 7.00 and 8.00 P.M. daily. No visitor
may see any patient until permission is first
granted by the nurse.
PARKING REGULATIONS
The Automobile Parking Regulations are
for the purpose of protecting the appearance
of our campus as well as for personal safety
and convenience. These regulations, which
have been in operation for several years, have
been found very beneficial to our campus.
The following are the regulations proposed by
our Campus Parking Committee and approved
by the Administration :
Automobiles MUST NOT be parked or
STOPPED on any of the campus roads except
to take on or dischaige passengers. Hanging
on cars is not permitted. Fast driving and
rounding curves at a speed greater than fifteen
(15) miles per hour is prohibited. Blowing
horns in front of buildings disturbs class ac-
tivities and is prohibited at all times. Driving
off campus roads on grass is positively for-
bidden. Students must not park in Visitors'
Spaces located near the Dining Hall and in
front of the Agriculture Building.
University Lane has been made a through
traffic boulevard and parking parallel there-
with has been discontinued.
Spaces to be used by students for the park-
ing of automobiles are:
Women: Parking area north of University
Lane and adjacent to the walk leading to
Gerneaux Hall, except spaces 200 to 240
inclusive and 272 to 310 inclusive. Men
students are not permitted to park in this
area.
Men: Parking area near Calvert and Sil-
vester Halls, except spaces 482 to 499 in-
clusive. Parking area between the Gym-
nasium and Silvester Hall. Parking area
at Gymnasium, except spaces marked,
"Reserved".
Officers of the Maryland State Police have
been detailed to assist in maintaining these
regulations, which are essential for mainte-
nance of property, convenience, and personal
safety. Any student who fails to observe these
regulations, may be deprived of the use of his
car and driving privileges on the campus. Con-
tinued violation may mean suspension from
the University.
The responsibility for parked automobiles
rests with the car owner. For further informa-
tion inquire at the Office of the Superintend-
ent of Buildings and Grounds, Room 18, base-
ment of Agriculture Building.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION
Student government at Maryland has at-
tained unusual heights in efficiency and or-
ganization during the past year with the Uni-
versity administration adopting a broad and
elastic policy in permitting students to prac-
tice self-government as far as is practicable.
Final jurisdiction is, of course, vested in the
President of the University.
The presidency of the Student Government
Association is the highest position open to an
undergraduate and one of utmost responsibil-
ity. The Student Government has as com-
ponent parts, a men's unit and a women's
unit, each to consider its respective problems
and the Executive Council, composed of a cross
section of student leaders. The Executive
Council has final jurisdiction as far as the
student governing is concerned. The Student
Relations Committee, a faculty body appointed
by the President of the University, which
acting for him approves all major actions and
formations of student organizations.
The Vice-President of the Student Govern-
ment Association is Chairman of the Executive
Council, which enables the President of the
Association to act as a voting member and
thus more adequately facilitate legislation and
maintain the Parliamentary procedure of the
sessions.
Meetings of these organizations are held
twice each month or on special occasions at
the direction of the President of the S. G. A.
All meetings are closed to the public.
All student activities under the Association
are financed by one of the most complete sub-
sidization plans in university or college circles
in the country. The activities fee of $10 paid
by each student upon entrance to the Univer-
33
sity is apportioned between publications, dra-
matics, debate, opera, and the host of similar
functions on a percentage basis, with the re-
sult that each undei-graduate realizes returns
on his investment far in excess of the original
fee. Thus, admittance to all dramatic and
operatic performances is free, all publications
are distributed, without charge, to those who
have paid the fee, and similar benefits, which
might otherwise occasion financial difficulties,
are obtained without hardship to the student.

HANDLING OF FINANCES OF STUDENT
ORGANIZATIONS
In the spring of 1930, the Student Govern-
ment Association passed a resolution to charge
each student a general activities fee of ten
dollars ($10.00) per year, which fee included
payment of his class dues and subscription to
The Diamondback, The Old Line, and The
Terrapin. In 1931 the Student Band, and the
49
Footlight Club were added to this group, and
each student receives in return tickets to two
performances of the Footlight Club. Debate
was added in 1933, and further subsidized in
1934. A combined Glee Club was also added
in 1934.
The money received is prorated among the
aforementioned organizations, according to a
percentage schedule arranged by the Student
Government Association. The accounts of
these organizations and all of the general
student organizations, including The Ross-
bourg Club, Scabbard and Blade, and the
Maryland Christian Association, are grouped
in one account and are under the supervision
of a Faculty Adviser, and the Assistant of
Student Activities. At the beginning of each
school year, each organization submits a
budget for approval, and then writes an
Older for each expendituie tf) be made. This
is checked against the budget items and, if
sufficient funds are available, is approved by
the Faculty Adviser. Various firms with which
the students deal have been notified that the
Student Government Association is not re-
sponsible for any contracted debts for which
an order has not been issued. Any student or
individual contracting debts without an order
is personally responsible.
Records, which are always open for inspec-
tion, are kept at the Central Office for each
organization. Besides, each organization treas-
urer keeps his own sot of books, which serves
as a check upon the Central Office. The bills
are voncherrd, and the accounls are audited
by the State Auditor at the end of the year.
In the first issue of The Diamondback of the
school year, a full statement is issued of all
accounts handled by the Central Office during
the previous year. A check, which eliminates
a great deal of misunderstanding, is also
maintained for the students upon the sale of
tickets for such functions as those held by
the Footlight Club, and the Rossburg Club.

STUDENT PUBLICATIONS
Three student-edited and student-written
publications — The Diamondbaclv. weekly news-
paper ; The Terrapin, year-book, and The Old
Line, bi-monthly comic magazine — are pro-
duced by University of Maryland undergradu-
ates as official organs of the Student Govern-
ment Association.
The staffs of each of these publications are
composed of students from freshman, sopho-
more, junior and senior classes, with the edi-
tors chosen, except in unusual circumstances,
from members of the latter group. These edi-
tors are chosen by popular election each spring
from a group of candidates selected by the
outgoing editors and the Faculty Advisor of
Student Publications. Eligibility for positions
is determined by length of service, ability, and
freshman and sophomore staff records.
Shortly after registration, a meeting of can-
didates for Student Publications is held under
the supervision of the editors and business
managers, and questionnaires are issued to de-
termine the type of publication and depart-
ment in which the applicants wish to work.
No previous experience is necessary to become
members of a publications staff.
The Diamondback, weekly newspaper, is pub-
lished every Monday and contains complete
University news and official bulletins with
which every student should be familiar. Op-
portunities are afforded undergraduates to se-
cure much valuable experience in advertising
and editorial lines. The Terrapin is published
in June and contains a complete record of the
University work for the year, together with
summaries of spring sports results — a feature
almost unique in college annuals. The Old
Line appears six times each year, with pros-
pects bright for increasing the number of is-
sues until the magazine is established on a
tnonthly hasig.-
61
Each undergraduate at Maryland is required
to pay a blanket sum of $10.00 on the day of
registration. This provides for a year's sub-
scription to the "Diamondback," the weekly
published every Monday during the school
year ; year's subscription to the "Old Line,"
bi-monthly, published six times during the
school year, and the "Terrapin," annual, which
is issued about June 1st.
Major officers of the publications for the
year 1936-37 are:
THE DIAMONDBACK
Editoi--in-Chief Carlisle H. Humelsine
A ■ . T-^T. (Robert E. Baker
Associate Editors {christine Kempton

All of these publications welcome tryouts for
their respective staffs. Any student wishing
to affiliate with one of them should consult
some member of the staff which he or she
wishes to join.
DRAMATICS
Hampered somewhat by mediocre staging
facilities, the Footlight T lub. principal organi-
zation of campus thespians, has produced a
number of truly noteworthy plays during the
past six years.
62
Under the tutelage of Dr. Charles B. Hale,
talented coach, the Footlighters have staged
successfully an average of two full length
plays a year and a number of one-act per-
formances and comedy skits. The combined
talents of both players and Dr. Hale have re-
sulted in productions that have attracted much
favorable comment from local and national
critics.
During the past season, the Footlight Club
presented three dramas in carrying on the
fame of the group. These were "The Tav-
ern," "Oliver Oliver," and "Journey's End."
It was in appreciation of these and other
presentations of equal merit that this current
issue of the "M" Book was dedicated.
GLEE CLUB AND OPERA CLUB
Since the revival of the Opera Club last
year, the Glee Club and Opera Club have
worked hand in hand producing programs
which have elicited praise both locally and
nationally. The Opera Club produced an opera
this past year, "Sweethearts." Under the
direction of Harlan Randall, musical director
of the University, the two groups had a very
successful year. The Glee Club, combined with
a women's choi'us, gave many programs both
on the campus and in Washington. They also
took part in the All-University Night program.
DEBATE
The administration for a number of years
has supported intercollegiate debating, recog-
nizing this student activity as one of the most
important activities from a cultural, educa-
tional, and practical training standpoint.
Two years ago "The Calvert Debate Club"
was formed to better centralize the preparation
and pi-esentation of the debates on the regular
schedule, and to discuss current topics of the
day. Try-outs are held twice a year, during

Professor C. S. Richardson, Head of the
Public Speaking Department, is chairman of
the faculty committee which works in cooper-
ation with the club as an advisory body to it.
Schedules are arranged through the Student
Activities Office. Besides debates on the cam-
pus and at nearby high schools, the men's and
women's teams make several trips to colleges
throughout the south and north.
MARYLAND CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
The Maryland Christian Association at the
University of Maryland is a voluntary fellow-
ship of men and women, both student and
faculty, who unite in the endeavor to find the
highest values in living and to make them
effective in daily life. It was formed in 1930
and its object is to achieve closer fellowship
and co-operation, and to promote an all-cam-
pus program to meet student and faculty
needs.
Each year the cabinet for men and women
works out its own statement of purpose and
its goals for the year, making a direct effort
to meet the specific needs of the campus.
Some of the features of its program are
Freshman Commissions, Freshman Week Pro-
gram, Student Sunday, Freshman Discussion
Groups, Speakers, Vesper Services, Confer-
ences, Fireside Forums, and Social Events.
Membership
Every student and faculty member who is
in sympathy with the purpose of the Associa>
tion is invited to join, and to unite with the
other members in the search for individual
and corporate life at its best. The voting
membership consists of those who sign the
statement of purpose, thus voluntarily declar-
ing their desire and intention of seeking, in
close co-operation with all other members, the
best possible life. For many in this fellow-
ship the way is most clearly pointed by the
life of Jesus,
The affiliate membership is composed of
those who take part in any way in the activi-
ties of the association. The program is de-
signed to include and to serve all persons in
the campus community, and all are invited
to participate in such phases of it as they
desire.
Student Control
The plans and program are determined and
promoted by the two Cabinets, with the ad-
vice and aid of the Advisory Board. Meetings
are held monthly.
In all of their work, the Cabinets and Coun-
cil have the advice and help of the faculty
and student pastors.

THE ROSSBOURG CLUB
The Rossbourg Club, founded in 1891, is
Maryland's oldest and most prominent social
organization. Its primary function is to give
a number of informal dances, free to members.
During the past few years it has shown very
rapid growth, due principally to the fact that
it has given the most successful dances Mary-
land has ever known.

CONCERNING FRATERNITIES
The aim and dream of many a freshman is
to attain membership in a great collegiate fra-
ternity. To many, this dream means luxury
of living, a sense of superiority, a good tim^
among "brothers," and a shining pin to show
the home folks.
A fraternity or sorority should mean much
more. It should mean closer companionship
with other men or women with similar ideals
who are pledged to raise the moral, educa-
tional, and social standards of the group.
In a few weeks, many will have the oppor-
tunity to join one of these lodges. The oppor-
tunities for you to benefit from these affiliations
are numerous, but please keep in mind :
That your decision will probably have more
effect on your future life than any you have
ever m:ide in the past.
That you are not an outcast if you do not
receive the bid you wish, or any bid — you may
be too intelligent instead of too backward to
interest that particular organization.
That many of the potentially fine men have
been completely buried in their fraternities.
That men in other fraternities may be worth
cultivating or keeping •^s intimate friends.
Some of your best friends in the Freshman
Class will not be in your fraternity. Do not
lose them.
That you are entitled to know the financial
set-up of any fraternity that rushes you.
That it is neither any credit to you nor to
a fraternity to obligate yourself before the
official pledge day.
And that your success or failure does not
rely on whether you make a fraternity or not,
but on the initiative and perseverencc you
show in either situation. Some men arc ac-
tually made by fraternal affiliation; others
submerged or ruined. Choose your course care-
fully, remembering thai after pledge day your
battle to prove your real worth is only starting:.

INTRAMURAL SPORTS
Under the direction of Professor C. L. Mack-
ert, Maryland's intramural sports program has
expanded rapidly in the past several years. In
order that a maximum number of students may
participate in 'mural activities a widely di-
versified schedule of sports is followed.
In the fall of the year touch-football, soccer,
tennis, and golf headline the list of activities
pursued. When winter comes the intramural
scene is shifted indoors and basketball, boxing,
wrestling, and volleyball occupy the center of
attention. With the first signs of spring the
baseball leagues, and tennis and golf tourna-
ments get underway. The annual track meet
held in the middle of May is an outstanding
feature of the intramural program. Last year
over 500 students participated.
Besides the seasonal sports mentioned, year
'round interest is maintained in horseshoes,
ping-pong, swimming and fencing.
As an added feature, extramural competitions
are held several times each year between
Maryland, Georgetown, and Catholic Univer-
sity,
WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
According to the constitution of the Women's
Athletic Association, only its members are
eligible for athletic awards. A freshman can
obtain her numerals when she has obtained
thirty-five points. After her freshman year,
any member earning fifty points may receive
her letter. A letter winner earning fifty addi-
tional points may get her blazer. Such a co-ed.
making another fifty points, is awarded a small
gold jewelled "M" by the "M" Club. Before
either of the last two awards are given, a
candidate must be passed upon by the members
of the "M" Club and the Executive Council
of the Women's Athletic Association.
115
Hockey, basketball, volleyball, baseball, and
soccer are the major sports. Membership on
one of these teams counts ten points. Two
extra points are given each member of the
winning team.
The minor sports are as follows : Archery,
tennis, tennequoits, and ping-pong. Horseback
riding is also included in this group, but has
slightly different requirements.
Exams for manager are given two weeks
before the sport begins. One woman can be
manager or assistant manager of only two
sports.

Men, every one of them.
Warriors of U. of M.
Our honor they'll uphold.
On toward the goal they're marching.
It will not take them long.
So, let's give a cheer,
For the men we hold dear.
And sing to them our Victory Song.
Chorus
Maryland, we're all behind you ;
Wave high the Black and Gold,
For there is nothing half so glorious
As to see our men victorious ;
We've got the team, boys.
We've got the steam, boys.
So keep on fighting, don't give in !
(Shout) M-A-R-Y-L-A-N-D !
(Sing) Maryland will win!
AH Hail! to Our Maryland
Let us sing to Alma Mater
University of Maryland,
Let us deck her o'er with glory,
With triumph and honor, hand in hand:
University of Maryland.
The college so dear to our hearts.
We'll cheer for the teams which are all so great,
Its praises ring, from State to State ;
Along the well-worn trail of victory
Maryland will follow on and on.
And the colors in the lead.
Will be Black and Gold, indeed,
