He also explores the role of the state government in the development of these institutions, as well as the contributions of individual educators and philanthropists.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the history of university education in Maryland. These include the early years of the state's colleges, the establishment of the University of Maryland, the rise of Johns Hopkins University, and the development of other institutions, such as Loyola University and Goucher College.Throughout the book, Steiner provides detailed accounts of the challenges and triumphs faced by Maryland's universities over the years, as well as the impact that these institutions have had on the state and the broader field of higher education. The History of University Education in Maryland is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of education in the United States, as well as for those interested in the development of Maryland as a state.The prosperity of the medical department was destroyed by the effort of some of its professors, discontented with being prohibited from having private classes, to have the Legislature do away with the regents and replace them with a board of trustees, in whom should vest the property. As early as November 12, 1824, the Regents feared trouble and obtained from William Wirt, John Purviance and Daniel Webster, a legal opinion that their position was inexpugnable.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
