The Law School, since its revival about 1870, has continuouslj increased in the number of its students and of its faculty, and has constantly enlarged the scope of its instruction. The Dental School has also been an uninterrupted success since its establishment. The School of Arts and Sciences had a checkered career until its final disappearance some twenty years ago. Thus it is that the University is now a purely professional school, with its three departments : Medicine, Law and Dentistry. The last ten years show a very marked advance in all of these departments. The course of study in the Medical and Law Schools has been increased to three years, the examinations have become more severe and the standard of attainment has been raised. There has also been a great addition to the subjects studied. The locating of the buildings of the LTniversity in the imme- diate vicinity of one another, thus enabling the students of different departments to become acquainted, and the participation of the students in inter-collegiate and other athletic contests, have done much to stimulate University feeling and the interest of all the students in the School as a whole. Discipline may be said not to exist in the University, and no one wants it to exist. The students reside in a large city under the law and do not need special rules for the regulation of their conduct any more than any other reputable citizen in the commun- ity in which they reside. It is assumed that when men have completed their academic education, have selected their life work and have entered on a course of study to fit them for it, they will act as serious men entering on a serious undertaking. There has been nothing in the history of the University to show that this is a mistaken assumption. No feeling or collision has developed between the members of the several Schools or between members of the different classes in the same schools. The attitude of the professors to the students and the students to the professors and of the students to one another is that of gentlemen in the world to one another. Their association is the association of equals. 22

Introductory Sketch By Major R. M. VENABLE, of the Baltimore Bar. IN the first number of this Annual, Dr. Gorgas gave a sketch of the history of the University of Maryland. It is proposed here to say something of the present history of the University. The plans of the founders of the University were to establish it on a broad basis, and to make it not merely a school for the Arts and Sciences, but also a School for instruction in the professions of Divinit3 lyaw and Medicine. Onl} ' one of these Departments has flourished continuously from the beginning. This is the School of Medicine. It has been one of the most distinguished and successful Medical Schools in the whole country. Its numerous alumni for three-fourths of a century have spread over the whole country, and many of them have taken rank in the front of their profession. The Divinity School practicall) ' never had any success, and could only for a short time be said to have had an existence. It was, as established, probably one of the most unique theological schools ever seen. To prevent any charge of sectarianism, and possibly in order to give instruction in all shades of theological opinion, the faculty was composed of divines representing the several religious sects. One would presume a priori that this would have made the School the centre of endless theological disputes, and a centre from which the odiian theologicum would radiate with a white heat. But tradition tells us nothing of the kind occurred, and that gentleness and peace reigned. There is a s .ory told of two dogs separated by a fence, who were struggling furiously- to get at one another. Some one, to gratify them, opened a gate between them, and the two dogs immediately calmed down and walked away. It may have been the same way with the theologians. When they found themselves confronted in the same faculty, they became more calm. 21
