[ 6 1 cAN INTRODUCTION TO WESTERN_.._j\fARYLAND (OLLECjE An Introduction To WeStern Maryland College> AMERICA PROVIDES many excellent colleges for young (_/1_ people seeking higher education. In the selection of an institution, an applicant should make certain that it is a college of good standing and one with whose ideals and object- ives the individual is in accord. Western Maryland College is a liberal arts institution, accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the University Senate of the Methodist Church. It holds membership in the National Association of Schools of Music and has the approval of that Association for a Bachelor of Arts degree in applied music. It is on the approved list of the American Association of University Women. The College is coeducational, the first institution south of che Mason and Dixon Line to open its doors to both young men and young women. A limited enrollment, with a ratio of one instructor for every twelve students, makes possible a close relationship between students and faculty and among the students themselves, Mem- bers of the faculty are chosen not only for their scholarship, but for their character, their ability to teach, and their willingness to counsel with students. As a liberal arts college its philosophy of education is to produce men and women having leadership qualities and con- scious of the individual's responsibility for personal development and social advancement. At the same time it provides courses for professional training in stated areas as well as pre-profession- al training for those who plan to continue their education in the various specialized fields. One of the distinctive features of the school is its emphasis upon character development. The College was chartered in 1868 under the auspices of the former Methodist Protestant Church and is now one of the church-related colleges of the Methodist Church. While it is open to students of all faiths and makes no religious tests of any, it gives ample opportunity for moral and religious development. It urges all students to attend church on Sunday (Methodist, Lutheran, Episcopal, Catholic. Reformed, Church of the Brethren, Church of God, and Church ( 9 1 Western Maryland College 1953 of the Nazarene congregations are to be found in Westminster) and requires attendance each Sunday evening at the <:ollege Chapel Service. The students govern themselves by their own elected representatives who are assisted by faculty advisers. The College assumes that persons enrolling will respect the tradition of the school which prohibits the possession or use of alcoholic beverages on the campus or being under the influence of [hem at any time. A Handbook of Westem Maryland College is published each year and is presented to each incoming student. This publication contains the various regulations of the College as well as other interesting data. Ignorance of the rules and regulations cannot be construed as basis for their evasion. Persons enrolling at the College are required to live in the dormitories unless residing with parents or immediate relatives. This provides a more unified campus community and makes pos- sible an environment where education is not pursued in isola- tion but in those natural relationships which typify the demo- cratic atmosphere of American life. Western Maryland Collegc is ideally located on a one- hundred-acre campus at the west end of Westminster, Maryland, amid the intimate beauty of Carroll County's rolling hills. At the same time it is close to the cultural advantages offered by the City of Baltimore (twenty-eight miles distant) and the Nation's Capital (fifty-eight miles distant). It is suggested that applicants make careful reading of the material contained in this catalogue and that they write to the College for any additional information which they may desire.

They are confined to a brief period of great excitement in Baltimore, viz, after the riot of April 19, 1861, when Federal troops were attacked by the mob while being marched through the City streets, up to May 13th of that year, when General Butler, with a large body of troops occupied Federal Hill, after which Baltimore was substantially under control of the 1 Some months before his death in 1942 the late Charles McHenry Howard (a grandson of Charles Howard, president of the Board of Police in 1861) placed the papers here printed in the Editor's hands for examination, and offered to write an introduction if the Committee on Publications found them acceptable for the Magazine.

PERMAN, MD, Message President Every 10 years, UMB has a cherished opportunity to imagine how our physical campus—our buildings, walkways, and open spaces—can advance our noblest goals: to improve the human condition and serve the public good. In this Facilities Master Plan, we imagine a campus that serves our students with better and more ample spaces for learning, discovery, and interaction; a campus that encourages collaboration between disciplines and schools and speeds the translation of discoveries from bench to bedside; a campus that binds us more closely to one another and to our neighbors and partners in Baltimore. On the north end of campus, we will transform outdated buildings and vacant lots in a way that creates cohesion while accommodating future development. We will continue to strengthen UMB’s identity within Baltimore by establishing clearer streetscape connections and reinforcing major gateways to campus. We will partner with city institutions and agencies to build a vibrant and safe Westside community—a place that’s rich in art, culture, and entertainment and in the creative people they attract. UMB is a beacon for people committed to improving human health and well-being. They deserve a campus that facilitates this work, as does everyone who relies on that work each day.

  • The Battle of Antietam U.S
    National Park Service The Battle of Antietam U.S. Department of the Interior Antietam National Battlefield P. O. Box 158 Sharpsburg, MD 21782 Dawn approached slowly through the fog on September 17, 1862. As soldiers tried to wipe away the dampness, cannons began to roar and sheets of flame burst forth from hundreds of rifles, opening a twelve hour tempest that swept across the rolling farm fields in western Maryland. A clash between North and South that changed the course of the Civil War, helped free over four million Americans, devastated Sharpsburg, and still ranks as the bloodiest one-day battle in American history. “…we are driven to protect our “The present seems to be the own country by transferring the most propitious time since the seat of war to that of an enemy commencement of the war for who pursues us with a relentless the Confederate army to enter and apparently aimless hostility.” Maryland.” Jefferson Davis General R.E. Lee September 7, 1862 3 September1862 The Battle of Antietam was the culmination of the Maryland Campaign of 1862, the first invasion of the North by Confederate General Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia. In Kentucky and Missouri, Southern armies were also advancing as the tide of war flowed north. After Lee’s dramatic victory at the Second Battle of Manassas during the last two days of August, he wrote to Confederate President Jefferson Davis that “we cannot afford to be idle.” Lee wanted to keep the offensive and secure Southern independence through victory in the North; influence the fall mid-term elections; obtain much needed supplies; move the war out of Virginia, possibly into Pennsylvania; and to liberate Maryland, a Union state, but a slave-holding border state divided in its sympathies.
