St. Mary's College of Maryland, established in 1840, is an American public,[1][3][4] secular (non-religious) and co-educational four-year liberal arts college[1] located in St. Mary's City, Maryland.[2]

It is a public honors college,[4] and is one of only two colleges with this designation in the United States.[5] With about 2,000 enrolled students, the institution offers bachelor's degrees in 24 disciplines.[2] as well as a master's program and numerous certification programs.[6]

The college is located in St. Mary's City, Maryland[1][2] and shares much of its campus with Historic St. Mary's City, the site of Maryland's first colony and first capital. It is also the site of the fourth colony in British North America.

St. Mary's City is also considered to be the birthplace of religious freedom in America[7][8][9] because of the unique mandates establishing and governing the British colony that once stood there,[9][10] requiring religious tolerance.[9][11]

The internationally recognized Historic Archeology Field School[12][13] is jointly operated by St. Mary's College of Maryland and Historic St. Mary's City.[12][13] The campus and the rest of St. Mary's City combined are considered to be one of the premier archaeological sites in the United States.[12]

National rankings

In 2014, U.S. News and World Report, in its annual "Best College and Universities" report, ranked St. Marys College as "5th" in the nation under the category "Top Public Schools" in the "Colleges" ranking (5th in the nation for Public Colleges).[14]

In the same report, St. Marys College of Maryland was ranked 4th in the nation[15] under the category "Best Colleges for Veterans".[14]

School's role in researching and interpreting Maryland's founding history

St. Mary's College of Maryland offers over 31 different undergraduate degrees and minors, and it has a masters program in education.

However, in addition to this, the school is also charged with researching, interpreting and memorializing Maryland history at the site of Maryland's first colony and capitol, St. Mary's City, Maryland, which is also where the college is located.

Historic Archeology Field School

In this capacity St. Mary's College of Maryland, in partnership with Historic St. Mary's City, also runs the Historic Archeology Field School which is an internationally recognized institution. The field school has worked on over 300 archeological dig sites in the St. Mary's City area over the last 40 years.

Special areas of archeological research and historical study

In its special role as a historical and archeological research institution charged with studying the founding history of Maryland, and charged by the State of Maryland with researching the history of the emergence of Democracy in Maryland, St. Mary's College of Maryland studies the following historic events that occurred in the area of St. Mary's City, Maryland and the periods in which they occurred.

This includes a special focus on historical events related to the struggle for establishment of democracy in Maryland, in all its aspects, including:

  • The early development of representative legislature in Maryland
  • The historic struggle for the establishment of religious freedom in America .
  • The historic beginnings of the quest for Women's suffrage in America
  • The historic struggle for minority rights in America
  • The beginnings of freedom of the press in the Northern colonies

History

In its special research capacity, the school also researches and studies the following historic events and periods as they relate to the local area:

Background

Colonial setting

Seventeenth century

The first Lord Baltimore, George Calvert, a Catholic during a time of persecution of Catholics who won the original grant for the Maryland Colony and who also envisioned it as a place of religious tolerance.[16]

St. Mary's College of Maryland is located on the original site of Maryland's first colony, St. Mary's City,[13] which was also the first capital of Maryland[17] and is considered to be the birthplace of religious freedom in America.[9][18]

Colonial St. Mary's City was actually only a town and at its peak had between 500 and 600 residents. However as the colony quickly expanded and settlements spread throughout the Eastern part of what is now Maryland, the town remained the capitol and representatives would travel from all over the colony to participate in the Maryland General Assembly, the colony's first legislative body.

The Colony was founded under a mandate by the colonial proprietor, Cecil Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore of England, that the new settlers engage in religious tolerance of each other.[19][9][20] The first settlers were both Protestant and Catholic during a time of persecution of Catholics.[20] This mandate was unprecedented at the time, as England had been wracked by religious conflict for centuries.

Original Native American village

St. Mary's College, in partnership with Historic St. Mary's City, was able to put together the following events through a combination or archeological and historic research.

In 1634, at the time of the arrival of the first colonists, there was a Native American village on the site that was a part of the Yaocomico branch of the Piscataway Indian Nation.[21][22] Archeological research shows the presence of native peoples in the area going back more than 10,000 years.[23]

When the colonists first came ashore, the paramount chief of the Yaocomico was already well aware of Europeans due to earlier contact with explorers and traders, as well as news from Virginia tribes that were already co-existing with British colonial settlements. The chief was keen to establish trade with the English and he was also in the process of relocating his people due to war with another tribe. Soon after the new colonists arrived in what is now St. Mary's City, he ordered the Indian village cleared and he sold it to the settlers.[22][24]

The colonists initially lived in Indian longhouses from the prior village, along with some remaining Yaocomico people who had stayed behind to help them. During this period, the Yaocomico taught the colonists how to survive in Maryland's challenging environment. [25] The chief also later put his daughter, the Piscataway Indian princess, Mary Kittamaquund,[26] under the guardianship of a prominent colonist, Margaret Brent,[27] so that Mary could learn English ways and become a bridge and a translator between the two cultures. Her English first name was given to her by the colonists.

1640s: first law requiring religious tolerance

George Calvert's second son, Leonard Calvert led Maryland's first settlers to what would become St. Mary's City, which is now the site of St. Mary's College of Maryland. There they established the first Maryland colony.
He also became its first governor and the job of leading the new colony through various trials and tribulations fell on his shoulders.

In early St. Mary's City the young colony endured much struggle, including periods of violent religious conflict [28] between Protestants and Catholics,[28] in spite of Lord Baltimore's mandate of tolerance,[20][29] as well as disease and the establishment of slavery.[30] Nevertheless, after a time of religious fighting, the residents of St. Mary's City were finally able to establish peace between religious groups for more than 40 years under the Maryland Toleration Act,[17] the first law mandating religious freedom and religious tolerance for people of all Christian faiths, which was conceived, written and ratified by the Maryland Assembly in St. Mary's City.

1641: Possibly first person of African heritage to be elected to a legislative assembly in North America

Mathias Da Sousa was an indentured servant in early St. Mary's City,[31] possibly of African and Portuguese heritage,[32] who gained his freedom and established himself as a trader and a mariner in the colony.[33] He was elected to the Maryland Assembly in St. Mary's City, the colony's first legislative body.[34] He traded primarily with the Piscataway Indian nation and also worked as a sailor for the colonial leadership.[35]

1648: first woman petitions for the right to vote in America

Margaret Brent, a business-savvy and quite successful Catholic settler in St. Mary's City at the time,[28][29] petitioned for the right to vote in the Maryland Assembly[28][29] (also in St. Mary's City, the new colonial capitol).[28][29] This was an unheard of request for a Woman of that era and made Brent very possibly the first woman in America to demand the right to vote.[20][29] However the Maryland colonial Assembly denied her request.[17][20][29]

In the male-dominated frontier environment of the colonies,[20][28] far away from the courts of England, Brent was also forced to defend her legal right to manage her own estate before the Maryland Assembly. She won, making her the first woman in English North America to stand for herself in a court of law and before an assembly. She also would eventually demand the right to vote.[20][28][29]

Brent also served as an attorney before the colonial court,[28][29] mostly representing women of the colony.[29] She is considered to have been very legally astute.[28][29] Surviving records indicate that she pleaded at least 134 cases.[29] Although she did not explicitly campaign for women's rights in general,[20] she is credited for having done so implicitly.[29]

1690s: renewed persecution of Catholics

After four decades of peace between Protestants and Catholics, new religious conflict erupted and the Catholic colony leadership was overthrown.[17][36] Catholics lost the right to vote[37] and were prevented from worshiping in public[37][38] (prohibitions that lasted in Maryland for nearly a century, until the late 1700s)[38][39] and the new Protestant leadership moved the capitol to Annapolis.[13][17]

Abandonment of St. Mary's City

With the capitol moved and widespread persecution of the Catholic community,[37] St. Mary's City was abandoned[13][40] and became a ghost town,[40] except for use as farm land.[13]

Eighteenth and nineteenth centuries

1700-1864: Antebellum plantation period

St. Mary's College, in partnership with Historic St. Mary's City, is engaged in a special project researching the following events and the historic setting in which they occurred:

Entrenchment

During the 1700s the institution of slavery grew massively in Maryland[30] and became more and more legally entrenched.[30] By the late 1600s there had been about 1,000 slaves in all the different settlements of the Maryland colony combined, but during the first 75 years of the 1700s, the number of enslaved people increased to nearly 100,000, and kept growing.[30]

Over time, the farms in St. Mary's City were consolidated into a large antebellum slave plantation which lasted for more than 150 years until the Civil War.[41] The plantation changed hands a few times, but continued to grow until it reached over 1,715 acres in size.[41] Enslaved African American's became the largest population in St. Mary's City.[41] Records show that slaves on the plantation were bought and sold which would certainly have broken up families.[41] Ruins and archeological research in the area has shown that slaves lived in poorly insulated huts, enduring the extremes of Maryland weather with little comfort or protection. Typically 5 or 6 people lived in 15 foot by 17 foot huts.[42] The plantation system also caused greater poverty among less advantaged free people in the area,[43][44] because the labor market was always depressed due to competition with slave labor.[43][44] Power and wealth therefore proceeded to be concentrated in fewer and fewer hands,[44][45] and the impoverished classes grew in St. Mary's County.[43] Harsh anti-Catholic laws also created barriers for the county's Catholic population.[46] A pattern was established of rural poverty in the county among the non-landed free population.[43]

Maryland penal codes (anti-Catholic laws)

From 1700 until the 1820s, numerous laws were put in place to "penalize" Catholics for practicing their faith, hence they were called the "penal codes".[38] Catholics were denied the right to vote in Maryland through most of the 1700s.[38][47][48] When anyone in Maryland was sworn into a position of public trust, they were also required to renounce the Catholic church while being sworn in.[47] This was in order to prevent any Catholic person from secretly gaining a position of power. There were also periods where laws denied Catholics the right to purchase or inherit land in Maryland. Catholics were also not allowed to start their own schools.[38] Wealthy Catholics would secretly send their children abroad to get religious education, but to discourage this, Maryland laws were passed fining parents who did this.[49] In order to discourage further importation of Irish indentured servants, who were largely Catholic, a prohibitive tax was imposed to try to prevent bringing any more of them to Maryland.[47] Many Catholics hid their faith and worshiped in secret. Others converted to Protestantism or left the state.

Even after legal restrictions eased in the 1820s, hostility towards Catholics and religious tensions continued in Maryland until the first half of the 20th Century.[47]

School founding

John Pendleton Kennedy

In 1838, John Pendleton Kennedy, a Maryland author and politician who was a proponent of religious freedom and religious tolerance,[47][50][51] as well as eventually being an opponent of slavery[52][53] (although also criticized in later times for expressing some idyllic stereotypes about Southern plantation life, nevertheless), wrote a book entitled "Rob of the Bowl",[17][54] which was a work of historical fiction that has set in colonial St. Mary's City, Maryland, and was a drama set against the backdrop of the struggle for religious freedom that occurred there.[55][56] The book sparked discussions of the state's history that drew wide attention in Maryland at the time.[56] Kennedy then tapped the increased public interest to campaign for erecting a monument to the memory of religious tolerance in St. Mary's City.

Later on John Pendleton Kennedy was proposed as a vice-presidential running mate to Abraham Lincoln when Lincoln first sought the Presidency of the United States,[57] although Pendleton was ultimately not selected. Pendleton became a forceful supporter of the Union during the Civil War, and he supported the passage of the Emancipation Proclamation.[58] And then later, since the proclamation did not free Maryland slaves because the state was not in the confederacy,[59] he helped to lead the effort to push for legislation in Maryland that ultimately ended slavery there in 1864.[52][58]

1839: school established as "living monument to religious freedom"

From the school's very beginnings, many of the students attended on grants or scholarships.

Religious tensions continued to haunt St. Mary's County and Maryland as a whole in the 1800s, and in response to Kennedy's call for a monument,[56] three prominent St. Mary's County residents called for the establishment of a new school in St. Mary's City which would instead be a "Living monument to religious freedom".[56]

They quickly won Kennedy's support and together they lobbied the Maryland State legislature. The legislature voted to create, fund and designate a nondenominational [60] school in St. Mary's City as a "Living monument to religious freedom".[60] This was a milestone at the time, because only some ten years earlier had the last of Maryland's notorious anti-Catholic "penal codes" been revoked.

Thus the nondenominational "St. Mary's seminary" was born,[17][60] named after the original colonial settlement, now only ruins in the same place where the school was founded.[60] That school would eventually become St. Mary's College of Maryland.[61] The school began as boarding school that included the elementary grades as well as grades 9 through 12.[56] Occasionally boys from the neighboring areas were allowed to take classes as well.[56] A few years later the word "Female" was added to the schools name.[17]

Today the school is coed (male and female students attend).

The Monument School

Due to it's designation as a living monument to religious freedom and the founding of the Maryland colony, the school's nickname quickly became The Monument School, and has remained so through to the present.

1861-1865: Civil War

Historic St. Mary's City, in partnership with St. Mary's College, was able to put together the following events through a combination of archeological and historic research:

Union troops in St. Mary's City

The school was not a part of the plantation in St. Mary's City, but these events occurred next door to the school, sometimes within sight of classroom or dorm windows. Students and faculty of the time were witnesses to some of the local history of this era, literally watching the historic struggle and eventually, the resulting expansion of human rights, visible out the windows of the school.

During the Civil War, Union troops occupied St. Mary's County, which like a large part of Maryland at the time, had Southern sympathies.[62] Piers and wharfs in St. Mary's County were burned by Union forces in order to stop trade with the confederacy which was only across the Potomac River.[62] Brome's Wharf in St. Mary's City was also burned, as it was a part of what was by then the Brome-Howard Plantation, owned by Doctor Brome, a slave-owner and a likely confederate sympathizer. There is archeological evidence that the Union Army may have occupied the plantation for some time.[62] Records show that Brome later complained that Union troops had damaged his piano while ransacking the main plantation house.

Two men escape slavery and join the Union Army

Records show that one quarter of of the 66 people living under slavery at Doctor Brome's plantation in St. Mary's City escaped during the Civil War[63] and at least two of them then joined the Union Army.[63] Even before slavery was legally abolished, the Union Army had a policy allowing enslaved men to gain their freedom if they became Union soldiers.[63]

Distinguished military service of African American soldiers from St. Mary's City

Medal issued for valor in the Battle of Chaffin's Farm (also known as the "Battle of New Market Heights") to members of the 38th United States Colored Infantry Regiment[64] in which Alexander Gough,[65] William Gross,[66] William H. Barnes and James H. Harris served.
It was the specific actions of the 38th USCT in this battle[67][68] that inspired Maj. Gen. Benjamin Butler to order the creation of this medal.[69][70]
Barnes and Harris also won the Medal of Honor.

St. Mary's College, in partnership with Historic St. Mary's City, has been engaged in a special research project related to the Civil War service of these men:

Two men who had escaped slavery in the nearby plantation in St. Mary's City, Alexander Gough[62] and William Gross,[62] joined the famed[71] 38th United States Colored Infantry Regiment[62][63] of the Union Army,[62] which won unit citations[72] for valor in the Battle of Chaffin's Farm (also known as the "Battle of New Market Heights") in the American Civil War.[73] Gough is known to have survived the war and lived the rest of his life in Baltimore.[63] Two other African American men from the area, William H. Barnes and James H. Harris both from Great Mills (which is just to the North of St. Mary's City), who had been free tenant farmers before the war, also served in the same regiment. Harris and Barnes each won the Medal of Honor for their actions in the Battle of Chaffin's Farm. There is evidence suggesting that additional slaves from the Brome plantation fought in the war as well.[62] In total, over 700 African Americans from St. Mary's County served in the Union Army during the Civil War.[74]

The United States Colored Troops Memorial Statue, 7 miles to the North of St. Mary's College in Lexington Park, Maryland, honors and memorializes African American soldiers from St. Mary's County, including the men of the 38th United States Colored Troops Regiment, who served as soldiers or sailors in the Union cause during the American Civil War. An educational plaque at the site specifically mentions Barnes and Harris and how they won the medal of honor.

John Pendleton Kennedy helps lead effort to end slavery in Maryland

Because Maryland was not in the confederacy, the emancipation proclamation did not apply to the state and slavery continued there.[59] Unlike the confederate states, President Lincoln was afraid to emancipate Maryland because he was concerned that would cause it to leave the Union and join the Confederacy, this is why he did not include Maryland in the Emancipation Proclamation. Only the state itself could end slavery at this point,[59] and this was not a certain outcome at all,[59] as Maryland was a slave state with strong confederate sympathies.[59] John Pendleton Kennedy and other antislavery leaders therefore organized a political gathering—On December 16, 1863, a special meeting of the Central Committee of the Union Party of Maryland was called on the issue of slavery in the state[52] (The Union Party was a powerful political party in the state at the time).

At the meeting, Thomas Swann, a state politician, put forward a motion calling for the party to work for "Immediate emancipation (of all slaves) in Maryland".[52] John Pendleton Kennedy spoke next, and seconded the motion.[52] Since Kennedy was the former speaker of the Maryland General Assembly, as well as being a respected author, his support carried enormous weight in the party. A vote was taken and the motion passed.[52] However the people of Maryland as a whole were by then divided on the issue[59] and so twelve months of campaigning and lobbying on the matter of slavery continued throughout the state.[59] During this effort Kennedy signed his name to a party pamphlet calling for "immediate emancipation" of all slaves[52] that was widely circulated. On November 1, 1864, after a year-long debate, a state referendum was put forth on the slavery question.[52][58][59] The citizens of Maryland voted to abolish slavery,[59] but only by a 1,000 vote margin,[59] as the Southern part of the state was heavily dependent on the slave economy.[59]

Kennedy, although prone to oversimplifying and idealizing Maryland history, nevertheless paradoxically was known in a number of cases for defending minority rights.[75] Earlier, when he was in the Maryland state legislature he was instrumental in repealing a law that discriminated against Jewish people in court and trial procedures in Maryland.[75] Jewish people were a tiny population in the state at the time and Kennedy was not Jewish, so there was no political or personal advantage to his position. His opposition to slavery in Maryland can be traced back for decades but the depth of that opposition went through an evolution from mild and more economically based in the beginning, to being stronger and more morally based by the time of the emancipation proclamation.[76] Kennedy, an Episcopalian, also helped to lead private charitable efforts to aid Irish Catholic immigrants,[77] who were experiencing a great deal of discrimination in the state at the time.[77] However he did also advocate setting limits on overall foreign national immigration into Maryland beginning in the 1850s, stating that he felt that the sheer number of new immigrants might overwhelm the economy.

Steamboat era

Students arriving by steamboat at the dock of St. Mary's Seminary in 1900.[78] From the founding of the school until 1933, students traveled to the school each year by steamboat, coming down the Chesapeake Bay from Annapolis and Baltimore.[79]

From the founding of the school until 1933, students traveled to the school each year by steamboat, coming down the Chesapeake Bay from Annapolis and Baltimore.[80] This usually meant an overnight trip.

The roads of St. Mary's County were largely unpaved and notoriously treacherous until the 1930s, and so water transportation was the best way to access the county. The school also received it's mail and supplies by boat. Steamboats would pull up to the school dock, just below the old Statehouse grounds, as often as twice a week. For a fee they would also carry students and faculty on outings over to Piney Point, or to Virginia.

By the 1930's, the steamboat service to the school was more of a tradition than a necessity, as the main roads leading to the college were by then paved. So when a storm destroyed the school dock in 1934, the school let go of the steamboat service and transportation to the college was thereafter only by automobile.

Twentieth century

1926-1966: junior college period

Mary Adele France, the first President of St. Mary's Female Seminary Junior College[82] and also the driving force behind expanding the seminary to college level by 1926.
She was both Principle of St. Mary's Female Seminary and then later its first College President, after its expansion.[82]

Women gaining right to vote results in call to convert seminary to a junior college

Mary Adele France, the principle of St. Mary's Female Seminary at the time,[82] felt inspired by the fact that Women had just recently gained the right to vote in America.[56] This led her to believe that Women deserved more access to a college education as well.[56] So she petitioned the Maryland State Legislature to convert the school to a two-year junior college. This was necessary, France wrote, in order to ready young women for “an economic place in the world".[56]

The time is past when we educated our daughters for ornaments only [56]

M. Adele France, first President,[82]

France then embarked on a determined and ultimately successful lobbying campaign in Annapolis. In 1926, by order of the Maryland Legislature, St. Marys College was expanded to a two year Female Junior College, combined with the last two years of High school (four years total).[56] At that time, the college dropped the 9th and 10th grades, but combined grades 11 and 12 with the first two years of college, making it a four-year institution, although only a "Junior College" at the upper two levels.[56]

The school's new name became the "St. Mary's Female Seminary Junior College".[56][82]

In 1949 the school became coeducational and the word "Female" was dropped from the school name.[17][17][83][83]

Four year, liberal arts college (1966-present)

1966: Campaign to end rural poverty results in expansion of St. Mary's to a four-year liberal arts college

General Andrew Goodpaster, former Superintendent of the West Point Military Academy, was very active on the St. Mary's College of Maryland Board of Trustees for many years, having been persuaded to join by then St. Mary's College President Ted Lewis.

Goodpaster was also a decorated veteran of World War II, where he commanded the 48th Engineer Combat Battalion in North Africa and Italy until he was severely wounded. For his service he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the Silver Star, and two Purple Hearts. He continued in the Army as a desk officer and eventually rose to the highest levels of the United States Military Command.

In retirement he also become a vocal advocate for the elimination of nuclear weapons and the establishment of a permanently nuclear-free world.

A building on the campus of St. Mary's College of Maryland, Goodpaster Hall, is named after him.

J. Frank Raley, a St. Mary's County politician and advocate for education,[84] had a dream of eliminating the then-deeply entrenched rural poverty in St. Mary's County by greatly enhancing education in the region. He led a campaign to significantly expand all levels of education, by securing numerous capitol programs from the Maryland state Legislature.[85] This also included a campaign by Raley to expand St. Mary's Seminary Junior College into a four-year liberal arts institution.

Raley was also noted for supporting integration of St. Mary's County schools[86] and elimination of racial segregation.[87]

Raley then followed this with years of ongoing, relentless, education-related advocacy on behalf of the county.[88]

After extensive lobbying by Raley and others, the Maryland State legislature ordered St. Mary's Junior College expanded to a four-year liberal arts college in 1966[89] (also dropping the high school grades) and renaming it St. Mary's College of Maryland.

I consider education as the most important of all public problems. For sound progress in any community, [the community] must first develop to the fullest extent, the minds of its children.[90]

J. Frank Raley, Jr., 26 April 1962[91]

By the 1967-68 academic year, the first four-year students began college studies.[92] Building projects to expand the campus and to build a new library began in earnest. The first Bachelor of Arts (BA) degrees were awarded.

School gains prominence in archeology and historical research

1968: Establishment of St. Mary's City Commission (later named "Historic Mary's City"): The St. Mary's City Commission was charged with archeological and historical research of St. Mary's City and its rich colonial past, as well as its critical roles in the development of democracy in Maryland and North America as a whole. The commission was also charged with developing historic interpretation programs for the general public.

Although a separate institution from he school, over time, St. Mary's College and Historic st. Mary's City became highly interdependent institutions. For 40 years, St. Mary's College of Maryland and Historic St. Mary's City have jointly operated the internationally recognized Historic Archeology Field School, which is considered one of the top archeology field schools in the nation.

In 1976 Denzel Washington Jr. played the earliest role of his professional acting career in St. Mary's City in a summer stage theater production[93] when he was 21 years old (he did a two minute appearance in a prior production, but his role in St. Mary's City was very substantial).[94] He played the role of a real historical figure from colonial St. Mary's City, Mathias de Sousa,[95][96] who was possibly African-American and if so, was America's first Black legislator.
This affected the course of his career, leading him to take numerous other roles involving historic figures.

Denzel Washington Jr. played the earliest role of his professional acting career in St. Mary's City, Maryland when he was 21 years old (he did a two minute appearance in a prior production, but his role in St. Mary's City was very substantial).[97] During the entire summer season of 1976, he performed in the stage production of "Wings of the Morning"[98][99] a historical play about the founding of the Maryland colony and the beginnings of democracy there. Washington played the role of a real historical figure from colonial St. Mary's City, Mathias de Sousa,[100][101] who was possibly of both African and Portuguese heritage and if so, was America's first Black legislator. This was also Denzel Washington's first role playing a real historical character (although the play itself was fictionalized in order to fill gaps in historical information).[102] The experience led Washington to to take on numerous other acting roles involving historic figures.

Influence on Washington's acting career

This experience had a lasting influence on the course of Washington's acting career, as he later sought out numerous historical roles, including portrayals of Steve Biko, Malcolm X, Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, Herman Boone and Melvin B. Tolson.

Washington also later won an academy award for his role in the film Glory where he played the part of Private Silas Trip, who served in a United States Colored Troops regiment during the American Civil War.

Historic St. Mary's City starts living history program, involving student actors

This may have had a lasting influence on Historic St. Mary's as well, although they steered away thereafter from endorsing fictionalized historical accounts (with the exception of some work with Shakespearean theater), the commission afterwards secured funding for a living history program, including use of period actors in order to interpret area history to the public.

The living history program has continued in Historic St. Mary's City for over 30 years, involving students from St. Mary's College of Maryland in acting roles that interpret area history.

1980s: national recognition for school as a "prominent Liberal arts college"

In the 1980s both US and News and World Report magazine and Barron's began to recognize St. Marys College as a prominent and unique liberal arts college in the public sector that was seeking to emulate far more expensive Ivy League colleges while providing such education at far lower public college prices.[citation needed]

Lucile Clifton

In 1989, former Poet Laureate of Maryland, Lucille Clifton, who was twice nominated for the Pulitzer prize, joined the faculty at St. Mary's College of Maryland, thereby becoming one of the school's most prominent faculty members in it's history. She remained on the faculty for fifteen years. An installation of plaques with Clifton's poetry are on or near the path around St. John's Pond on the campus, and comprise an outdoor "poetry walk" with a view of the pond and also the St. Mary's River, which Clifton was known to love.

1992: "Public Honors College" designation

Ted Lewis: Due to the efforts of then St. Mary's College President Ted Lewis, the school was designated by the state of Maryland as a Public Honors College in 1992,[1][103][104] making it one of only two such colleges in the nation at the time.[5]

Lewis was drawn to the school by its goal of developing a public liberal arts college into an institution that could compete academically with elite private colleges. He served as president from 1982 to 1996 and oversaw the largest advancement of the school's standing in its history. The school went on to win numerous top national rankings and became nationally recognized.

Lewis himself had grown up in a blue collar family in Warwick Rhode Island, his father only had an eighth grade education and so Lewis was in the first generation of his family to attend college. Initially he wasn't able to stay engaged with his studies and he dropped out, but later, after a period of military service, he returned to pursuing an education, following through all the way to obtaining a Doctorate degree and then becoming an educator and later a college administrator. He was also a noted and very prolific poet in his younger days.

During his time as president, Lewis oversaw an expansion of the Brent scholars program for first generation college students. He also oversaw a more than doubling of the school's African-American student population from 6% in 1982, to 14% in 1992.[105] During this era, the State Legislature also charged the school with a mission to remain affordable to public education sector students,[104] while offering a Liberal Arts education normally only available at private liberal arts colleges.[104]

Growing pains: The college struggled to meet this cost containment goal, as it had also been required by the state to grow considerably at the same time, across numerous dimensions, in order to fulfill its new role as the state's public honors college.[106] This era also saw steady increases in tuition.[107]

Bradlee also served on the Board of Trustees for St. Mary's College of Maryland for many years.[114]

Because the historic site of the college as been at the center of so many "firsts" in the struggle for democracy in Maryland and North America, the Center for the Study of Democracy was established by St. Mary's College in 2002 to enhance and foster interdisciplinary studies[115][116] of the history of the struggle for the establishment and expansion of democracy in all its forms.[117][115]

The center also studies the application of lessons gleaned from this history to modern day struggles and events.[118]

The center draws on study of the following historic struggles for democracy that occurred in St. Mary's City
  • 1600-1870s: The struggle for religious tolerance (the effort to establish civil law and practices that establish and protect the right of people to practice the faith of their conscience without interference).[119]
  • 1648:The struggle for Women's suffrage (women's right to vote) and equality of opportunity in business, 1642-1649[120]
  • 1863-65:The struggle for minority rights (including freedom from oppression and soon after, the right to vote, first guaranteed to people of all races in Maryland in 1870).[121] 1865-1950s, the struggle for Civil Rights.
  • 1670s: The struggle for freedom of the press (its establishment and attempts to eliminate or curtail it)[122]
  • Issues related to the emergence of new democracy in historic Maryland and the United States[123][115]
Learning from history: application of historical research to modern day issues

The center's mission is to apply lessons[115] and inspiration[124] derived from the area's history[125] to study of the following modern day issues[126][115]--

  • Preservation and furtherance of democracy in the United States and other developed nations[127][115]
  • Inclusion of minorities and women in the democratic process around the world[128]
