About this ebook
Since its founding in 1925, the University of Baltimore has become one of Maryland's premier educational institutions. Originally organized as a practical solution for working men and women seeking a college degree, the institution developed rapidly-the School of Law and the College of Business Administration, begun in the founding year as evening professional schools, were joined by a day division and, in 1937, a junior college. Finally, in 1961, the university began its College of Liberal Arts to meet the demand for a relatively low-cost, liberal arts college education. Containing over two hundred black-and-white photographs from the archives of the Langsdale Library, University of Baltimore explores the school's history, from its birth in October 1925 to the present day, the eve of its seventy-fifth anniversary. From the founding of the first Greek societies and African-American clubs on campus to the anti-war protests of the 1960s, from the beginning of the sports program in 1928 to the championships won over the decades, the University of Baltimore has led a vital life and provided opportunity to a countless many. Through the images and captions contained in this visual tribute to the university, readers will meet the school's founding pioneers, as well as the administrators, faculty, and staff who have helped shape the university's past, present, and future, and most importantly, the students and alumni who have always made the University of Baltimore an exciting place to work and learn.

University of Baltimore - Thomas L. Hollowak
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
PREFACE
Since 1925, the University of Baltimore has set itself apart by providing both affordable and accessible opportunities for men and women to prepare for success in law, business, accounting, and the professional applications of the liberal arts. UB’s hallmark has always been a fine faculty supplemented with working professionals as adjunct instructors who have focused on the application of knowledge from the classroom to the real world.
UB’s future will include providing more professional degree opportunities for individuals who require advanced graduate education beyond the master’s, such as the new Doctorates of Communication Design and Public Administration. The new millennium will challenge UB to bring its degree programs to men and women far from its core campus on North Charles and Mt. Royal. While using the Internet and interactive television to keep UB accessible, our faculty and staff must still maintain the high degree of personal attention and interaction of the classroom experience.
It is the past that makes the present and future possible. When I first came to the University of Baltimore in the fall of 1968, I heard many wonderful stories about UB people—people like longtime President Theodore Halbert Wilson; Dean Cliff James of the School of Business; Kathleen Joyce, the registrar; Hugh Higgins, vice-president and treasurer; and Dr. Nell from the psychology department. I quickly learned that we were privileged to have had and enjoyed many dedicated and beloved employees.
I was also privileged to serve as provost under the wise leadership of Dr. Thomas Pullen. When I succeeded him, he made the transition of leadership a most gracious and easy time for me. I also had the privilege of getting to know Dr. Wilber Dehuff, acting president before Dr. Pullen, and Dr. Theodore Halbert Wilson, president of UB for 21 years prior to Dr. Dehuff.
All were wonderful people and great friends to legions of UB students. They left behind memories we cannot lose.
In an effort to make one more mindful of UB’s past and our institutional heritage, UB archivist Thomas Hollowak has searched out records of the past 75 years and compiled the pictorial history that follows. We hope it will stir fond memories for many, causing alumni, university retirees, and present employees to search their files, attics, and memories for more glimpses of the past. Perhaps, this book will encourage them to honor us with the privilege of storing them in our university archives so that future generations will be able to share in their experiences at UB.

INTRODUCTION
The history of the University of Baltimore has been one of constant change. The founders, whose names are Maynard A. Clemens, P. Lewis Kaye, William H. Wilhelm, R. Loran Langsdale, Victor R. Jones, Howell A. King, Alton R. Hodgkins, Stewart Lewis, and Clarence W. Miles, incorporated it on August 8, 1925. They were a group of professional businessmen interested in providing greater educational opportunities for employed men and women in Baltimore. The university was originally planned as an evening professional school, but a day division of the business college was started in 1926. When the university opened on October 1, 1925, the student body was composed of 62 students in the School of Law (including 3 women) and 114 in the School of Business Administration. Three years later, in 1928, the university’s first students graduated.
Academically, the university has expanded from these evening professional schools offering courses in business and law to a fully accredited university. Mergers with Eastern College in 1970, Mount Vernon School of Law in 1970, and the Baltimore College of Commerce in 1973, together with the establishment in 1972–73 of the Graduate School and the College of Continuing Education, allowed the university to become a middle-size, comprehensive urban university. In 1975, as the result of an action of the 1973 Maryland General Assembly, the University of Baltimore was brought into the state higher educational system as an upper division academic institution, that is third and fourth collegiate year and post graduate studies.
It was also instructed to maintain professional schools and graduate programs
and placed under the administrative direction of the Board of Trustees of State Colleges. In 1988, it became part of the University of Maryland System (now known as the University System of Maryland).
As an upper division, graduate and professional school, it
