An account of the resource
John D. Haskell was the first full time UMBC employee. He was responsible for starting the Library, although Haskell's initial days at the university were spent not at UMBC but at College Park where he was oriented into the policies and procedures of the University of Maryland libraries system." It was Haskell's job to have 75,000 volumes of books and periodicals available" when the campus opened in 1966. He left UMBC in 1969 to enroll in a doctoral program for American Studies from George Washington University; Haskell retired in 2006 after a long career at the Earl Gregg Swem Library of the College of William & Mary.

Description
An account of the resource
Dr. Kuhn's brainstorming took physical shape in 1965 when he hired Guy Chisholm from UM College Park to serve as the director of the physical plant and supervise the construction of UMBC. A native Texan, Chisholm had earned a degree in landscape architecture and later became a partner in a Texas construction company before taking a position with UM. Kuhn especially relied on Chisholm to figure out the best design of the first campus dormitories. Another person vital to the founding of the campus was Homer W. Schamp, Jr., who was the second full time UMBC person hired. Schamp was a professor in UM College Park's legendary Department of Physics and served as director of the Institute for Molecular Physics. He was hired by Kuhn to be UMBC's Dean of Faculty and to recruit the founding faculty of the new school. The photograph shows Kuhn, Schamp, and Chisholm, holding rolled architectural plans, conferring about the construction then underway.

Once the Catonsville site was selected for the expansion of the University of Maryland, Dr. Kuhn quickly began working on specifications for the new campus. He visited universities across the country to get ideas for the construction of both buildings and academic programs, and on airline flights home he wrote down his brainstorm of thoughts, reactions, and plans. He noted: Kinds of Bldgs, plain but attractive."

An account of the resource
Not all of the land on which the new campus was going to be built was already owned by the state. One parcel was owned by the Stabler Family, 13 acres along Walker Avenue approximately where the Library & Gallery is now situated. The State acquired the land in 1965 through an Option Contract. The letter from Albert P. Backhaus, Director of the Department of Public Improvements for the State Department of Public Works, sent the signed Option to Edmund Stabler.

An article in The Evening Sun newspaper announced the selection of Catonsville for the new campus site and specified that the tentative site plan shows a large parking lot…"
News of the selection of the Catonsville site for a new UM campus was covered by the Baltimore dailies as well as the local County newspapers. The Times, headquartered on Sulfur Spring Road in Arbutus, naturally covered more detail about the site and the rationale for the location of the campus. It reproduced a graphic that showing the campus having a business and public administration program which was never realized. Reasons for selecting the Catonsville site included: the site was adjacent to I-695 and not too far from College Park; it was large enough to allow for future development of the campus; the state already owned most of the land. The photograph shows a view from Hilltop Building looking toward the Spring Grove Farm. The road running right to left in front of the barns is Walker Avenue.

An account of the resource
During the early planning stages for the expansion of the University of Maryland, one possible location for the new campus was the Inner Harbor of Baltimore City. Consideration of the site went as far as making a Diagrammatic Scheme as a Proposal for Downtown Campus for University of Maryland Implementation Through Urban Renewal Program." Albin Kuhn did not favor the location, primarily because land for further expansion would have been difficult and expensive to acquire. The area identified as the Proposed Campus Area is approximately where both the Baltimore Convention Center and Oriole Park at Camden Yards are now located.

Description
An account of the resource
During the 1940s into the 1950s, dramatic increases in the number of Marylanders seeking a university education motivated State officials to begin planning for expansion of the University of Maryland. Beginning in 1955, a series of state commissions studied the need for expanding publicly supported higher education. Each recognized that the number of Maryland students attending college was greatly increasing. The Warfield Commission, appointed by the governor in 1959, issued its report in February 1960. Titled A Plan for Expanding the University of Maryland, the report suggested expansion of UM by bringing Towson, Frostburg and Salisbury Universities under the UM administration and creating regional campuses in various areas of the state for commuting students. The Curlett Commission, also appointed by the Governor, focused on the growing demand for college education in Maryland. The report recommended expansion in public higher education as well as a tripartite organization (community colleges, state colleges, and the University of Maryland).
