In the years that followed as before, the need for continuation of the school was continually discussed. Since the school was now under the administration of College Park, there was always the question of whether the college could meet the standards of the College Park Campus. In 1957 the state legislature made the first clear cut appropriation of funds for new buildings and programs on the campus. The institution would live and there was no question concerning the accreditation of the college because of the State ' s Associa- tion ' s decision to approve full accreditation of Maryland State. Maryland State con- tinued to blossom and grew with new programs, buildings and ideas. On July 1, 1970 Maryland State College officially became the University of Maryland Eastern Shore or as it is more commonly known UMES. Today ten years later UMES is ever progressing and improving. And as always, it has the support of teachers, administrators and most importantly the students, without whom there would be no institution. As we look back on years gone by, we see that we have come a mighty long way. Yet, we are not where we could be or should be. The fight is not over yet and we the student body, faculty and administration must work together now to make UMES an institution capable of meeting the challenges of tomorrow.
