Aerial View of Campus, 1996
Aerial photographs of campus have been made periodically throughout UMBC's history. This 1969 view shows various ongoing construction projects, including the first dormitories (slightly above and left of center), the Physical Plant building (now the Public Safety Building) along Hilltop Circle (then called The Loop," which was only half finished), and the beginnings of site preparation where the Administration Building would be built. Along the top of the photograph may be seen I-95 under construction as well as its intersection with Rt. 166 at the top right. Kuhn recognized that having the interchange would be critical for UMBC, so he approached Governor Tawes in 1966 and asked for the interchange to be put into the I-95 plans. When Tawes asked John B. Funk, Chairman of the Maryland State Roads Commission, to make the change, Funk resisted by saying: We're just about done, we don't want any more projects." Tawes replied: You're going to have to put one in to have access to UMBC."

The Library was built in three phases. This photograph shows Phase I, facing the Library Pond and completed in 1968, and Phase II, completed in 1975 and extending back towards the apartments. The unfinished concrete exterior, modeled in a Brutalist architectural style, was recognized by the Baltimore Chapter of the American Institute of Architects with their highest honors in 1975.

Athletics scrapbook, 1991-1992 academic year
In Spring 1992, UMBC's men's baseball team became the university's first team to make it to a NCAA regionals tournament. The team had previously played in the Division II Regionals in 1979, 1980, and 1986. The Retrievers, with a 37-11 record, were sixth-seeded and set to take on the first-seeded Hurricanes of the University of Miami on May 22 in Coral Gables, Florida. The Retrievers, led by 15-year Head Coach John Jancuska, put up a strong fight, but lost 3-1 to the Hurricanes.

Bartleby, Volume 20 (1995-96). Cover design, Streetwalker by Leslie Heins.
Although not UMBC's first literary journal, Bartleby is UMBC's longest running and continues to be one of our most well-known traditions. Originally based out of the English department, Bartleby has been published in several different formats and has, at times, accepted student, faculty, staff, and Baltimore-area submissions of poetry, literature, and artwork. Since 1989 the publication has accepted submissions that are student authored only. Bartleby is now funded by the SGA, managed and edited by UMBC students, and published every spring semester. The first issue carried the celebrated moniker, Bartleby, after a Herman Melville character. The journal has had several other titles, including Soup, Imagine, and Samsdatz, but has been published as Bartleby for the past 14 issues.
