iD[)Q. ICnivavsilY of ar lan6 HE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND is located at College Park in Prince George ' s County, Maryland, on the line of the Washington branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, eight miles from Washing- ton and thirty-two miles from Baltimore. The grounds front on the Baltimore and Washington Boulevard. The suburban town of Hyatts- ville is two miles to the south, and Laurel, the largest town in the county, is ten miles to the north on the same road. Access to these towns and to Washington may be had by steam and electric railway. The site of the University is particularly beautiful. Some eighteen buildings have been erected on the University campus for research, extension, and residence edu- cational purposes. They occupy the crest of a commanding hill, which is covered with forest trees and overlooks the entire surrounding country. In front, extending to the boulevard, is a broad rolling campus, the drill ground and athletic field. A quarter of a mile to the northeast are the buildings of the Agricultural Experiment Station. The farm of the College of Agriculture contains about 300 acres, used for experimental pur- poses and demonstration work in agriculture and horticulture. The general appearance of the grounds is exceedingly attractive. They are taste- fully laid off in lawns and terraces ornamented with shrubbery and flower beds. The location of the University is healthful ; the sanitary conditions are excellent. No better proof of this can be given than that there has been practically no serious case of illness among the students for many years. The Schools of Medicine, Pharmacy, Dentistry, and Law of the University are located in Baltimore at the corner of Lombard and Greene Streets. Thirteen
