About This Book

Tracing the development of higher learning in Maryland from colonial experiments and numerous charters to succeeding and failed colleges, the narrative surveys early attempts to establish colleges, denominational seminaries, Roman Catholic institutions, women's colleges, and several extinct ventures. It then chronicles the founding and early organization (1876–1891) of the Johns Hopkins University, detailing its governance, faculty, curricula, distinction between collegiate and university courses, student life, degrees, publications, libraries, and statistics. Concluding notes discuss university extension and visions for the university of the future, assessing institutional structures, educational aims, and the practical challenges of sustaining collegiate and professional education in the state.
