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 bachelors degrees in 24 disciplines.^[2] as well as a masters 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 ranking

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]

History

Background

Colonial setting

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^[16] and is considered to be the birthplace of religious freedom in America.^[9]^[17]

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.^[18]^[9]^[19] The first settlers were both Protestant and Catholic during a time of persecution of Catholics.^[19] This mandate was unprecedented at the time, as England had been wracked by religious conflict for centuries.

Original Native American village

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.^[20]^[21] Archeological research shows the presence of native peoples in the area going back more than 10,000 years.^[22]

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.^[21]^[23]

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. ^[24] The chief also later put his daughter, the Piscataway Indian princess, Mary Kittamaquund,^[25] under the guardianship of a prominent colonist, Margaret Brent,^[26] 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

In early St. Mary's City the young colony endured much struggle, including periods of violent religious conflict ^[27] between Protestants and Catholics,^[27] in spite of Lord Baltimore's mandate of tolerance,^[19]^[28] as well as disease and the establishment of slavery.^[29] 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,^[16] 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,^[30] possibly of African and Portuguese heritage,^[31] who gained his freedom and established himself as a trader and a mariner in the colony.^[32] He was elected to the Maryland Assembly in St. Mary's City, the colony's first legislative body.^[33] He traded primarily with the Piscataway Indian nation and also worked as a sailor for the colonial leadership.^[34]

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,^[27]^[28] petitioned for the right to vote in the Maryland Assembly^[27]^[28] (also in St. Mary's City, the new colonial capitol).^[27]^[28] 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.^[19]^[28] However the Maryland colonial Assembly denied her request.^[16]^[19]^[28]

In the male-dominated frontier environment of the colonies,^[19]^[27] 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.^[19]^[27]^[28]

Brent also served as an attorney before the colonial court,^[27]^[28] mostly representing women of the colony.^[28] She is considered to have been very legally astute.^[27]^[28] Surviving records indicate that she pleaded at least 134 cases.^[28] Although she did not explicitly campaign for women's rights in general,^[19] she is credited for having done so implicitly.^[28]

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.^[16]^[35] Catholics lost the right to vote^[36] and were prevented from worshiping in public^[36]^[37] (prohibitions that lasted in Maryland for nearly a century, until the late 1700s)^[37]^[38] and the new Protestant leadership moved the capitol to Annapolis.^[13]^[16]

Abandonment of St. Mary's City

With the capitol moved and widespread persecution of the Catholic community,^[36] St. Mary's City was abandoned^[13]^[39] and became a ghost town,^[39] except for use as farm land.^[13]

1700-1864: Antebellum plantation period

Entrenchment

During the 1700s the institution of slavery grew massively in Maryland^[29] and became more and more legally entrenched.^[29] 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.^[29]

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.^[40] The plantation changed hands a few times, but continued to grow until it reached over 1,715 acres in size.^[40] Enslaved African American's became the largest population in St. Mary's City.^[40] Records show that slaves on the plantation were bought and sold which would certainly have broken up families.^[40] 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.^[41] The plantation system also caused greater poverty among less advantaged free people in the area,^[42]^[43] because the labor market was always depressed due to competition with slave labor.^[42]^[43] Power and wealth therefore proceeded to be concentrated in fewer and fewer hands,^[43]^[44] and the impoverished classes grew in St. Mary's County.^[42] Harsh anti-Catholic laws also created barriers for the county's Catholic population.^[45] A pattern was established of rural poverty in the county among the non-landed free population.^[42]

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".^[37] Catholics were denied the right to vote in Maryland through most of the 1700s.^[37]^[46]^[47] 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.^[46] 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.^[37] 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.^[48] 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.^[46] 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.^[46]

School founding

John Pendelton Kennedy

John Pendleton Kennedy, politician, author. 1850 photograph.

In 1838, John Pendleton Kennedy, a Maryland author and politician who was a proponent of religious freedom and religious tolerance,^[46]^[49]^[50] as well as eventually being an opponent of slavery^[51]^[52] (although also criticized in later times for expressing some idyllic stereotypes about Southern plantation life, nevertheless), wrote a book entitled "Rob of the Bowl",^[16]^[53] which was a work of historical fiction that has set in colonial St. Mary's City, Maryland, and was about the struggle for religious freedom that occurred there.^[54]^[55] The book sparked discussions of the state's history that drew wide attention in Maryland at the time.^[55] 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,^[56] although Pendleton was ultimately not selected. Pendelton became a forceful supporter of the Union during the Civil War, and he supported the passage of the Emancipation Proclamation.^[57] And then later, since the proclamation did not free Maryland slaves because the state was not in the confederacy,^[58] he helped to lead the effort to push for legislation in Maryland that ultimately ended slavery there in 1864.^[51]^[57]

1839: school established as "Living Monument to Religious Freedom"

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,^[55] 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".^[55]

They quickly won Kennedy's support and together they lobbied the Maryland State legislature. The legislature voted to create, fund and designate a nondenominational ^[59] school in St. Mary's City as a "Living monument to religious freedom".^[59] 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,^[16]^[59] named after the original colonial settlement, now only ruins in the same place where the school was founded.^[59] That school would eventually become St. Mary's College of Maryland.^[60] The school began as boarding school that included the elementary grades as well as grades 9 through 12.^[55] Occasionally boys from the neighboring areas were allowed to take classes as well.^[55] A few years later the word "Female" was added to the schools name.^[16]

1861-1865: Civil War

Union troops in St. Mary's City

During the Civil War, Union troops occupied St. Mary's County, which like a large part of Maryland at the time, had Southern sympathies.^[61] 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.^[61] 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.^[61] Records show that Brome later complained that Union troops had damaged his piano while ransacking the main plantation house. He also complained that some of his slaves had joined the Union Army.

Two men escape slavery and join the Union Army

Records show that one quarter of Doctor Brome's 66 slaves in St. Mary's City escaped during the Civil War^[62] and at least two of them then joined the Union Army.^[62] Even before slavery was legally abolished, the Union Army had a policy allowing slaves to gain their freedom if they became Union soldiers.^[62]

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

Two men who had escaped slavery in St. Mary's City, Alexander Gough^[61] and William Gross,^[61] joined the famed^[70] 38th United States Colored Infantry Regiment^[61]^[62] of the Union Army,^[61] which won unit citations^[71] for valor in the Battle of Chaffin's Farm (also known as the "Battle of New Market Heights") in the American Civil War.^[72] Gough is known to have survived the war and lived the rest of his life in Baltimore.^[62] 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.^[61] In total, over 700 African Americans from St. Mary's County served in the Union Army during the Civil War.^[73]

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.^[58] 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,^[58] and this was not a certain outcome at all,^[58] as Maryland was a slave state with strong confederate sympathies.^[58] 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^[51] (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".^[51] John Penndleton Kennedy spoke next, and seconded the motion.^[51] 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.^[51] However the people of Maryland as a whole were by then divided on the issue^[58] and so twelve months of campaigning and lobbying on the matter of slavery continued throughout the state.^[58] During this effort Kennedy signed his name to a party pamphlet calling for "immediate emancipation" of all slaves^[51] that was widely circulated. On November 1, 1864, after a year-long debate, a state referendum was put forth on the slavery question.^[51]^[57]^[58] The citizens of Maryland voted to abolish slavery,^[58] but only by a 1,000 vote margin,^[58] as the Southern part of the state was heavily dependent on the slave economy.^[58]

Kennedy, although prone to oversimplifying and idealizing Maryland history, nevertheless paradoxically was known in a number of cases for defending minority rights.^[74] 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.^[74] 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.^[75] Kennedy, an Episcopalian, also helped to lead private charitable efforts to aid Irish Catholic immigrants,^[76] who were experiencing a great deal of discrimination in the state at the time.^[76] 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.

St. Mary's Female Seminary, circa 1890.^[79] The building was erected for the school by the state of Maryland. Students from all over the state attended the school, many on scholarship or grants.

1926-1966: junior college period

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,^[80] felt inspired by the fact that Women had just recently gained the right to vote in America.^[55] This led her to believe that Women deserved more access to a college education as well.^[55] 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".^[55]

The time is past when we educated our daughters for ornaments only ^[55]

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).^[55] 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.^[55]

The school's new name became the "St. Mary's Female Seminary Junior College".^[55]^[80]

In 1949 the school became coeducational and the word "Female" was dropped from the school name.^[16]^[16]^[81]^[81]

Four year, liberal arts college (1966-present)

1966: expansion to four-year liberal arts college

J. Frank Raley, a St. Mary's County politician and advocate for education,^[82] 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.^[83]

Raley was also noted for supporting integration of St. Mary's County schools^[84] and elimination of racial segregation.^[85]

Raley then followed this with years of ongoing, relentless, education-related advocacy on behalf of the county.^[86]

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^[87] (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.^[88]

J. Frank Raley, Jr., 26 April 1962^[89]

By the 1967-68 academic year, the first four-year students began college studies.^[90] Building projects to expand the campus and to build a new library began in earnest. The first Bachelor of Arts (BA) degrees were awarded.

1980s: national recognition

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]}

1992: "Public Honors College" designation

Due to the efforts of then St. Mary's College President Edward T. Lewis, the school was designated by the state of Maryland as a Public Honors College in 1992,^[1]^[91]^[92] making it one of only two such colleges in the nation at the time.^[5] The State Legislature also charged the schools board of trustees and its executive leadership with a mission to remain affordable to public education sector students^[92] while offering a Liberal Arts education normally only available at private liberal arts colleges.^[92]

Lewis was initially drawn to the school by the idea 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 it's history.

2002: Establishment of the Center for the Study of Democracy at St. Mary's College

Benjamin C. Bradlee, former Editor in Chief of The Washington Post,^[93] active on the advisory board for the Center for the Study of Democracy^[94] at St. Mary's College of Maryland.^[95] Mr Bradlee also hosts a yearly seminar at the Center,^[96] "The Benjamin Bradlee Distinguished Lecture in Journalism",^[97] of the role of journalism in the coverage of issues related to democracy.^[98]
Bradlee also served on the Board of Trustees for St. Mary's College of Maryland for many years.^[99]

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^[100]^[101] on the history of the struggle for the establishment and expansion of democracy in all it's forms.^[102]^[100]

The center also studies the application of lessons gleaned from this history to modern day struggles and events.^[103]

The center draws on study of the following historic struggles for democracy that occurred in St. Mary's City

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).^[104]
The struggle for Women's suffrage (women's right to vote and equality of opportunity)^[105]
The struggle for minority rights (including freedom from opression, the right to vote and the right to equality of opportunity)^[106]
The struggle for freedom of the press (it's establishment and attempts to eliminate or curtail it)^[107]
Issues related to the emergence of new democracy in historic Maryland and the United States^[108]^[100]

Learning from history: application of historical research to modern day issues

The center's mission is to apply lessons^[100] and inspiration^[109] derived from the area's history^[110] to study of the following modern day issues^[111]^[100]--

Preservation and furtherance of democracy in the United States and other developed nations^[112]^[100]
Inclusion of minorities and women in the democratic process around the world^[113]
Special focus on issues related to emerging democracies in countries that have never experienced it before.^[114]

2014: college ranked "5th in the nation"

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" category.^[14]

For more detail on the development of the college, see the full timeline of the history of St. Marys College.

Academics (modern day college)

Public honors college core curriculum

St. Mary's College is a public honors college.^[4]^[92] It is one of only two such Public Honors Colleges in the United States. As a part of this, it maintains a core honors-level curriculum that all of its students, regardless of major, must complete.

Non-religious and coeducational

The school is non-religious (secular) and has been since it was started in 1840 (The name St. Mary's commemorates Maryland's first colony, "St. Mary's City", which once stood where the college stands now).

The school has been coeducational (both male and female students) since 1949.

College mission

The college states that its mission is to:

"...promote scholarship and creativity by challenging our students to achieve academic excellence through close relationships with faculty, classroom activities, and experiential learning. Our faculty and staff foster intellectual, social, and ethical development within a community dedicated to diversity and accessibility. We provide students with opportunities to understand and serve local, national, and global communities and to accomplish social change."^[115]

The state of Maryland also defines the mission of St. Mary's Public Honors College as being to provide a liberal arts education comparable to prestigious private institutions in the public sector.^[4]^[92]

The Maryland Higher Education Commission’s report, "College 411: A Student Guide to Higher Education and Financial Aid in Maryland" states that:

St. Mary’s College of Maryland, the State’s public honors college, is committed to providing a liberal arts education of the same high quality found at prestigious private institutions, but with the openness and affordability of a public college.^[4]

The guide is published by the state of Maryland^[116] and has an introduction from the Governor of Maryland^[4] and the State Secretary of Education.^[4] The State of Maryland's Higher Education Commission is the State of Maryland's coordinating board^[117] responsible for establishing statewide policies for Maryland public and private colleges and universities.^[118]

The St. Mary's Way

The college community is guided by a set of principles called "The St. Mary's Way".^[119]^[120] These principles set a tone for a supportive, caring environment where a passion for curiosity, knowledge and discovery can occur.^[121]^[122] It also talks about the importance of making a difference in the world, informed by the natural beauty and historic meaning of the St. Mary's City area.^[123]^[124] The St. Mary's Way also sets a tone for integrity and tolerance of differences in viewpoint, background and experience.^[125]^[126]

The text of the St. Mary's Way is as follows:^[127]^[128]

The St. Mary's Way
St. Mary's College of Maryland lies in a setting of natural beauty and historic meaning which enhances our ability to reflect on our lives in an increasingly complex, technological, and interdependent world. As a member of St. Mary's College of Maryland, I accept the St. Mary's Way and agree to join in working with others to develop this College as a community:

Where people respect the natural environment and the tradition of tolerance which is the heritage of this place

Where people cultivate a life-long quest for disciplined learning and creativity

Where people take individual responsibility for their work and actions

Where people foster relationships based upon mutual respect, honesty, integrity, and trust

Where people are engaged in an ongoing dialogue that values differences and the unique contributions of others' talents, backgrounds, customs, and world views

Where people are committed to examining and shaping the functional, ethical values of our changing world

Where people contribute to a spirit of caring and an ethic of service.
By choosing to join this community, I accept the responsibility of helping to build on its past heritage, of living its ideals, and contributing to its future.^[129]^[130]

Tuition

According to the Maryland Higher Education Commission, St. Mary's College of Maryland, despite being a public institution, competes mostly with elite private colleges.^[131] The commission reported in 2014 that the cost of obtaining a degree at St. Mary's College is $30,000 less when compared to the average costs of the elite private colleges that it competes with.^[132]

Degrees

Undergraduate degrees

The college has 31 undergraduate programs that allow a choice of 24 majors,^[2] leading to a Bachelor of Arts (BA),^[2] and 26 minors.^[1]

69% of St. Mary’s students major or minor in a second academic discipline.

Popular degree programs: biology, economics, English, history, political science, psychology.^[2]
