Book Description

Excerpt from The Reveille, 1915, Vol. 18 During this college year the ownership of the college property passed wholly into the hands of the State. This makes the Maryland Agricultural College the only College in Maryland owned by the State, and should make the people of the State feel a particular pride and obligation to see it placed in the front rank of its class. Though the ownership has changed, may those charged with the manage ment of the institution never forget the scope of the work and ideals outlined by its founders. May the Maryland Agricultural College ever have for its purpose the training of men to live in Maryland a life of usefulness and power, to gain here a liveli hood sufficient for comfortable and generous living; men with power and grace to add to community life, those elements of intelligence and virtue which give a State stability and worth; men of large obligations to the world; men who will assume large duties and carry them to successful conclusion. This means that there must be an M. A. C. Stamp as unmistakable as the inscription on the coinage of the Nation. This institution may not equal others in the number of students, or in the value of its equipment, but it need stand second to none in the earnestness, devo tion, spirit and courage which put into the college work, and into life's work after leaving college. Greatness must not be confused with Size, or worth with Show. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
