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 of the University

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Dear Marylanders:

It is always a pleasure to extend a word of
greeting to new students who come to our
Campus for the first time, and it is an equal
pleasure to welcome back the old students.

Members of the Faculty and the Administra-
tive Staff of the University are anxious to
help each one of you make the most of your
stay on this Campus. Do not hesitate to call
on any of us when you feel we can help you.

To the new students we would especially
emphasize the importance of early forming
regular and systematic habits of study, so that
each day's work may be cared for at the
pi'oper time.

University life is many sided, and a wide
range of extra-curricular activities offer oppor-
tunities for you to develop other than strictly
intellectual phases of your personality. You
will form friendships and associations wh ch
should endure long beyond your college days
and do much to enrich your lives.

Let us all work together with sincere and
purposeful cooperation to achieve the kind
of success which makes us useful citizens and
gives us satisfaction in our individual lives.

Sincerely,

H. C. BYRD, President.

DEAN ADELE H. STAMP
Dean of Women

"M" BOOK GREETINGS FOR 1937-1938

To All Freshmen Students:

Greetings to all freshmen students and a
hearty and cordial welcome. It is our earnest
hope that you will enjoy your life spent on
our campus whether you come to us as a day
student or live in our dormitories. Maryland
is noted for its friendliness and comradeship
and so we want you to feel at home on our
campus and to feel that you really belong here
and not as a stranger coming into our gates.

Take part in some of our extra-curricular
activities but choose wisely and do not try
to enter into all of them. It is better to be-
long to two organizations and to contribute
something to them and to get something out
of them than to join half a dozen and give
nothing and get nothing. Your work and play
should be balanced ; not too much of either.

May your freshman year be successful aca-
demically and recreationally. and may it be
filled with pleasant memories.

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-
ve-sity 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 Streets,
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 oi
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.

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-
timoie. 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.

Plans were completed last spring for the Uni-
versity's $1,170,000 Building Program, which
provides for the addition of four new build-
ings to the local campus and the remodeling
and repairing of several others. Also included
in the plans are a new men's dormitory, a
general service building, a home economics
building, and a new poultry building, at the
College Park Branch. In addition, the in-
firmary, engineering, men's dormitory group,
and the dairy buildings will be improved under
the remodeling division of the program.

Two additional floors are planned for the
new University Hospital at Baltimore ; Dental
and Pharmacy Schools are to receive much
needed improvement.

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 duiing the week. The Baptist,
Episcopalian, Presbyterian, and Lutheran stu-
dents have denominational clubs which meet
regularly during the year.

INFIRMARY RULES

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 the
Infirmai-y, 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
hours at 6.00 P.M. except Saturdays and Sun-
days. Office hours on Sundays by appointment
only.

2. A registered nurse is on duty at all hours
at the infirmary. Between 2.00 and 4.00 P.M.,
quiet hour is observed. During this time stu-
dents are requested not to report, except in
case of an emergency.

3. Visiting hours are between 4.00 and 5.0u
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 discharge 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.

Students must not park in space reserved for
visitors located in front of the library.

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
Life Committee, a faculty body appointed
by the President of the University, 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-

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 undergraduate 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
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 expenditure to 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 set of books, which serves
as a check upon the Central Office. The bills
are vourhercd. and the a^counis 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.

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 eight times each year.

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; years subscription to the "Old Line."

DRAMATICS

Hampered somewhat by mediocre staging
facilities, the Footlight < lub, principal organi-

zation of campus thespians, has produced a
number of truly noteworthy plays during the
past seven years.

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 "No More
Ladies," "The Last Warning," and "The
Royal Family."

OPERA CLUB

Since its I'evival three years ago, the Opera
Club, under the direction of Harlan Randall,
musical director of the University, has pro-
duced several successful operettas among
which are Victor Herbert's "Sweethearts"
and Rudolf Friml's "Vagabond King." It is
the custom of the club to stage an operetta
for the student body each spring. Encouraged
by Mr. Randall, the club has made great
progress this year and at the present time
has a membership of eighty undergraduates.

GLEE CLUB AND WOMEN'S CHORUS

The Men's Glee Club and Women's Chorus
hold an important position in campus activi-
ties. Under the leadership of Harlan Randall,
musical director of the Univei'sity, they have
appeared separately and as a mixed chorus in
many programs on the campus and around
the state. With thirty voices in the Glee Club
and forty in the chorus, the organizations have
grown rapidly this past year.

DEBATE

The administration for a number of years
has supported intercollepriate debating, recog-
nizinp: 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 presentation of the debaies on the regular
schedule, and to discuss current topics of the
day. Try-outs are held Iwice a year, during
the first month of each semester; all members
of debate teams are selected from this club.

Professor C. S. Richardson, Head of the
Public Speaking Deparlment, 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.

Y. W. C. A.

Beginning as the Women's Cabinet of the
Maryland Christian Association, the Y. W. C.
A. was organized at the University in 193(1. It
was not until last year that it functioned as
an independent unit.

Officers and chairmen of the committees
make up the cabinet which is the executive
body of the association. Membership is open
to women students interested in the work of
the association.

Projects of the club consists of assisting
during orientation, entertaining freshman girls
at teas, donating baskets to the poor at
Thanksgiving.

It also aids in S. G. A. relief drives and
sponsor student-faculty teas, which were be-
gun last year.

The object of the Y. W. C. A. is to aid stu-
dents in becoming better acquainted with fel-
low students at the University.

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 luxurj
of living, a sense of superiority, a good time
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 made 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 as 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 perseverence you
show in either situation. Some men are ac-
tually made by fraternal affiliation; others
submerged or ruined. Choose your course care-
fully, romembering tha<^ after pledge day your
battle to prove your real worth is only startinsr.

THE FRATERNITY CRITERIA

(This article is printed by request of tiie Inter-
fraternity Council.)

The National Interfraternity Conference was
founded in 1909 for the purpose of discussing
Questions of mutual interest and to make such
recommendations from time to time as it
deems wise. It is composed of sixty-fonr na-
tional fraternities which meet strict qualifi-
cations for membership. Its annual confer-
ences are attended by about three hundrtd and
fifty officers and alumni of the various frater-
nities and about fifty deans of men and college
presidents. It sponsors the National Under-
graduate Interfraternity Conference, composed
of delegates from the Interfraternity Councils
on campuses all over the United States and
Canada, which meets in conjunction with the
Conference itself. It publishes a Year Book,
the report of its annual meeting, in which
much valuable information about college fra-
ternity life is included.

In the fall of 1934, the Executive Committee
of the Conference and the Educational Advis-
ory Council reduced to writing the following
criteria in order further to advance co-opera-
tion between fraternities and educational in-
stitutions. The statement was subsequently ap-
proved by the American Association of Deans
and Advisers of Men and by the Conference
itself. It reads as follows:

We consider the fraternity responsible for
a positive contribution to the primary func-
tions of the colleges and universities, and
therefore under an obligation to encourage
the most complete personal development of
its members, intellectual, physical and social.
Therefore, we declare:

1. That the objectives and activities of
the fraternity should be in entire accord

with the aims and purposes of the in-
stitutions at which it has chapters.

2. That the primary loyalty and respon-
sibility of a student in his relations with
his institvrtion are to the institution, and
that the association of any group of stu-
dents as a chapter of a fraternity involves
the definite responsibility of the group for
the conduct of the individual.

3'- That the fraternity should promote
eonduct consistent with good morals and
good taste.

4. That the fraternity should create an
atmosphei'e which will stimulate substan-
tial intellectwal progress and superior in-
tellectual achievement.

5. That the fraternity should maintain
sanitary, safe and wholesome physical con-
ditions in the chapter house.

6. That the fraternity should inculcate
principles of sound business practice both
in chapter finances and in the business re-
lations of its members.

These criteria should be applied in close
eo-operation with the administrative authori-
ties of the institutions. Detailed methods of
api^ication will n-ecessarily vary in accord-
ance with local conditions. It is the purpose
of the National Interfraternity Conference
to offer detailed suggestions, after further
study and investigation, regarding practical
steps to make this eo-operation effective.
