    “STRIVE FOR CLARITY, BUT ACCEPT AND UNDERSTAND AMBIGUITY. That phrase captures one way in which an educated person approaches the world and its challenges. Students who graduate from the University of Maryland have been exposed to the tools that allow them to put that perspective to work. Imparting such a perspective may be an ambitious project for undergraduate education, but to aim for anything less would be unworthy of a great university’s goals for its students. Thirteen years ago, Promises to Keep, a plan for undergraduate education at Maryland, articulated those goals so eloquently we repeat them here. Undergraduate education at Maryland “aims to provide students with a sense of identity and purpose, a concern for others, a sense of responsibility for the quality of life around them, a continuing eagerness for knowledge and understanding, and a foundation for a lifetime of personal enrichment.” As we learn with and from one another, we try to “develop human values,” “celebrate tolerance and fairness,” “contribute to the social conscience,” “monitor and assess private and collective assumptions,” and “recognize the glory, tragedy and humor of the human condition.” Your years at the University of Maryland can provide you with all the tools you need to accomplish these goals. Students here are “educated to be able to read with perception and pleasure, write and speak with clarity and verve, handle numbers and com pu ta tion proficiently, reason mathematically, generate clear questions and find probable arguments, reach substantiated conclusions and accept ambiguity.” AND WE ALSO HOPE YOU ENJOY THE JOURNEY.

  • University of Maryland, College Park (66-035)
    University of Maryland, College Park (66-035) The University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP) is located in northwestern Prince George’s County, nine miles northeast of Washington, D.C. The main campus is situated on 650 acres within the boundaries of the City of College Park and serves as the flagship institution of Maryland’s university system. Current enrollment at UMCP is more than 36,000 students. 1 The University of Maryland began as the Maryland Agricultural College, established in 1856 by Charles Benedict Calvert and eighteen other wealthy planters. The new institution was created to modernize agricultural practices and enable local farmers to increase productivity. 2 To provide a site for the college, Calvert sold 428 acres of his Riversdale Plantation known as Rossborough Farms to the investors of the college. The site was on top of a hill that overlooked the Washington and Baltimore Turnpike. The Rossborough Inn (PG: 66-035-02) was the first stagecoach stop after leaving Washington, D.C. and was part of this parcel. The Federal-style tavern was constructed circa 1803 by the Calvert family and was enlarged in 1938.3 In 1858, the cornerstones were laid to the Barracks, which served as the first main building on campus. This structure served many functions including dormitory, lecture hall, dining room, classrooms, and offices. 4 On October 6, 1859, the campus was dedicated and the first classes were held for the 34 students enrolled at the college. 5 The school struggled for several years, but eventually benefited from the Morrill Land Grant Act of 1862, which provided federal funds for state colleges to teach agriculture, mechanical arts, and military tactics.
