�CAMPUS PLAN REPORT
Prepared for ST. JOHN' S COLLEGE, ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND
by I. M. PEI & ASSOCIATES, ARCHITECTS and PLANNERS
September 1962
�St. John's College, Annapolis, Maryland Volume XIV September 1962 Number 3 Published Quarterly
Entered as Second Class Matter February 18, 1949 at the Post Office at Annapolis, Maryland, under the Act of August 24, 1912.
�FOREWORD
1
The St. John's College campus is composed of buildings ranging in age
from four to almost two hundred years. Many of the older buildings are now
in need of repair. Several are inefficiently used in terms of the present
curriculum and enrollment. Moreover, certain pressing needs cannot be
met in any of the existing buildings and hence require construction
of new facilities.
In considering possible modifications and additions to the physical plant
of the College, our approach has been essentially conservative. We have
sought to preserve and to strengthen the presently-established character
of the campus, which seems, in scale and organization, altogether
harmonious with the curriculum. Thus, while we suggest extensive interior
remodelling to some of the existing buildings, no demolition is proposed.
Where new wings or new buildings are recommended, they have been
sited so as to complement and enhance the traditional quadrangular
grouping, with its focus in McDowell Hall.
Upon completion of the work outlined in this report, the College could
accommodate an enrollment of about 350 students. As shown on the
accompanying Campus Plan, this can be accomplished without the
acquisition of new land. Further growth beyond this number would we
believe, require expansion of the campus into the area west of St. John's Street.

HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE
AT ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE
�HISfORICALAND ARCHITECTURAL NOTES
AN HISTORIC VIEW OF THE CAMPUS
S
t. John's College traces its
origins to King William's
School, founded in 1696 in
Annapolis. The present site of
the college was proposed as
early as 1761 by, among others,
Charles Carroll, the Barrister,
whose house now stands on
campus. When St. John's was
chartered in 1784 to perpetuate a succession of able and honest men, it
was with a view also to its being the western branch of the University of
Maryland, with Washington College on the Eastern Shore as the eastern
branch. Four of the college founders were signers of the Declaration of
Independence: Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Governor William Paca,
Thomas Stone, and Samuel Chase. Chase and Stone were members of
the first Board of Visitors and Governors. The richest man in the country at the time, Carroll was not a member of the original board but did
join it in 1786. He contributed the largest sum to the founding of the
college - 200 pounds. To assure that St. John's would be for the benefit
of youth of every religious denomination, the charter was written by
three clergymen of different faiths : William Smith, an Episcopalian and
St. John's first president pro tern; John Carroll, a Roman Catholic; and
Patrick Allison, a Presbyterian divine, representing other religious
sects. When St. John's began classes in 1789, the college absorbed the
property of King William's School and all the students attended the college. Among the first students were George Washington's step-grandson
and two nephews. Francis Scott Key was also an early student, graduating in 1796. During the Civil War, the northern forces used the campus
first as a parole center for the exchange of prisoners and then as a hospital. The college became a military school in 1884, resumed its liberal
arts program in 1923, andin 1937 adopted its New Program centered on
the reading and discussion of great books. In 1951 the college became
co-educational. St. John's opened a second campus in Santa Fe, New
Mexico, in 1964. The Annapolis campus is a National Historic
Landmark and lies within the Annapolis Historic District.
CHANCELLOR JOHNSON HOUSE
(CIRCA 1720)
A fine example of an early 18th century gambrel roofed dwelling, the Chancellor Johnson
House was moved to the campus in 1937
after being purchased by the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company, which needed
its location on Northwest Street to make
room for projected offices. The house is
named for John Johnson, an alumnus of the
class of 1820 who at one time owned the
property on which the house stood but lived
with his family in a larger brick house
fronting West Street. Johnson was the last
chancellor of the state of Maryland, a
position abolished in 1851.
CHARLES CARROLL,
THE BARRISTER HOUSE (1722-23)
The Carroll Barrister House was built by
Charles Carroll, the surgeon, and moved by
Historic Annapolis in 1955 from its location
on Main Street to the St. John' s campus.
Carroll's son, Charles Carroll, the Barrister,
born in the house in 1724, was the principal
writer for the Declaration of the Delegates of
Maryland adopted on July 6, 1776. A member
of the board of King William's School,
Carroll introduced a conciliatory bill in 1761
that repeated a recommendation that
Bladen's Folly, now McDowell Hall, be used
as the site of a new college. Portraits in the
reception room are those of a former mayor
of Annapolis, Thomas Jennings, and his wife.
The college offices of Admissions and
Advancement are now located in the house.
MCDOWELL HALL (1742)
Simon Duff, a Scotsman, came to Maryland
especially to construct this building as the
official mansion of Thomas Bladen, colonial
governor of Maryland. Begun in 1742, it was
abandoned as being too grandiose and
became known as Bladen's Folly. It was originally designed with wings, in the style of
James Gibbs work. Thomas Jefferson
admired the unfinished building, writing in
1766: "They have no public building worth
mentioning except the governor's house, the
hull of which after being finished, they have
suffered to go to ruin."
After being completed as the first (and only)
college building in 1789, it held classrooms
on the first and second floors, student sleeping quarters and faculty rooms on the third
floor, and the kitchen and dining room in the
basement. Here Francis Scott Key, who graduated as class valedictorian and later helped
organize the alumni association, attended
classes. In 1824 two dinners and a ball were
given in the Great Hall for General Lafayette.
The Great Hall also served as headquarters of
the Union Army Medical Corps from 1863 to
1866 . Almost destroyed by fire in 1909,
McDowell was rebuilt according to its original 1789 design . The building is named for
St. John's first president, John McDowell.
HUMPHREYS HALL ( 1837)
The first building added to St. John's was
Humphreys Hall, named for the Rev. Hector
Humphreys, president from 1831 to 1857. It
is an excellent example of castellated Gothic
Revival, notable for its octagonal towers at
the comers. Known initially as the boarding
house, Humphreys first was used as a dormitory and later as a science hall. In 1958 the
interior was remodeled as a dormitory. The
college bookshop in the basement displays
the original center support of the building, a
foundation wall of brick culminating in a row
of round-headed arches.
CHASE-STONE HOUSE (1857)
Built at the end of the classical revival period
and at the beginning of America's Victorian
era, the Chase-Stone House is considered to be
in the style of a Florentine palace. It was used
originally as a duplex residence for the president and vice-president of the college. Since
then it has served as a dormitory. In 1963 it was
completely renovated. The building is named
for Samuel Chase and Thomas Stone, members of the college's original Board of
Governors and two of the four Maryland signers of the Declaration oflndependence.
PACA-CARROLL HOUSE (1857)
Although the Paca-Carroll House was built
early in the Victorian era as another duplex
to serve two faculty families, the house is a
simple, well-proportioned building reminiscent of the Federal era. It was named for two
signers of the Declaration oflndependence:
William Paca, who was among those petitioning the General Assembly for the college
charter, and Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, a
member of St. John's first board. James Cain,
the American novelist, whose father taught
at St. John's, was born in Paca-Carroll in
1892. In this century it became a student
dormitory, which was enlarged in 1981 when
a contemporary wing was added and the original section was gutted and rebuilt.
PINKNEY HALL ( 1858)
Dedicated in 1858 as a dormitory, this building with Italianate overtones was named for
William Pinkney (1764-1822), the only pupil
of King William's School that historians
have been able to identify. Pinkney served as
minister to England and Russia and as
Attorney General under Madison. Like
Humphreys Hall, Pinkney' s roofline was
once fretted with turrets.
BARR-BUCHANAN CENTER
(1899)
This building, known as Woodward Hall, was
constructed to serve as the college library. In
19 68 it was extensively renovated; the rear of
the building was extended and a fourth level
added below ground. After the college
library collection became too large for
Woodward Hall and was moved to the
Greenfield Library, the building was remodeled and rededicated as the Barr Buchanan
Center in 1997. It is named for Stringfellow
Barr and Scott Buchanan, the founders of the
New Program established in 1937. The BarrBuchanan Center contains offices for the
Graduate Institute, classrooms, common
rooms, the King William Room, a computer
lab, and tutor offices.
RANDALL HALL ( 1903)
Randall Hall was named for the Randall family. Its neo-classical Edgar T. Higgins dining
room, with high Georgian details, is considered one of the handsomest rooms in
Annapolis . A 1930 addition houses a modern
kitchen and serving area as well as a small
private dining room. The upper floors of
Randall are used as a dormitory.
IGLEHART HALL-(1910)
The college gymnasium is named for Lt. E.
Berkeley Iglehart, an alumnus who had a distinguished military career and who helped
make the building a reality. Its suspended running track is considered a rarity for its day.
BENEFICIAL-HODSON
BOATHOUSE ( 1934)
Constructed in 1934 and renovated in 1989,
the building houses a large upstairs room
used for college functions and parties. Below
is a spacious boathouse where the college
boats used in the rowing, crew, and sailing
programs are kept.
GREENFIELD LIBRARY
(1934, 1996)
The building originally known as the
Maryland Hall of Records was constructed in
1934 on land deeded to the state by St. John's
for $10. Designed by Baltimore architect
Lawrence Hall Fowler, the Georgian Revival
style Hall of Records contained a core of
seven stories housing the state archives and
perimeter rooms that reflected different
periods with architectural details based on
Maryland history. The conversion to a library
for the college, begun in 1994 and completed
in 1996, involved adding an underground
annex topped by a landscaped plaza; gutting
the central core and replacing it with a threestory atrium lit from above by a large skylight; and restoring the perimeter rooms .
The renovated building was named the
Greenfield Library, in honor of the support
of Stewart Greenfield (St. John's class of
1951) and his wife Constance. It houses the
college library collection, which numbers
100,000 volumes.
CAMPBELL HALL ( 1954)
Designed in a modified Georgian style,
Campbell Hall was built as a dormitory for
women students, first admitted in 1951. It
was named for Levin Hicks Campbell, a
member of the class of 1793 whose descendant Milton Campbell contributed funds for
the construction.
FRANCIS SCOTT KEY
AUDITORIUM AND MELLON
HALL (1958)
Designed by the California firm of Neutra
and Alexander, this building contains the
600-seat Francis Scott Key Auditorium,
Conversation Room, music library, music
and laboratory classrooms, and administrative offices (added in 1989). The auditorium
was named for St. John's most famous alumnus; the building was named for Paul Mellon,
a student at the college in 1940 and a generous benefactor. The building also houses an
observatory and the Theodore McKeldin
planetarium. President Eisenhower dedicated the complex in 1958.
HARRISON HEALTH CENTER
( 1972)
Constructed in the shape of a Greek cross, the
infirmary is designed to live quietly by the
Carroll Barrister House, its 18th century
neighbor. The building, named for John T.
Harrison, class of 1907, was funded for the
college by his widow.
ELIZABETH MYERS MITCHELL
ART GALLERY ( 1989)
The contemporary glass and limestone block
gallery enables the college to offer museum
quality traveling exhibits and special programs related to the arts.

An Historic View of the Campus...
to learn
St. John's traces its beginnings to King William's School which opened in 1696 as one of the first public schools in
America. King William's School and St. John's College, chartered in 1 784 to serve as the western branch of the
University of Maryland, were consolidated by act of the Maryland Legislature in 1785. St. John's charter
was the first in the United States specifically prohibiting religious discrimination. Among students
enrolled in the early years were George Washington's step-grandson and his two nephews and Francis
Scott Key, who was graduated in 1 796. During the Civil War, the northern forces used the campus
as both a parole and hospital center. The College became a military school in 1884, a conventional
liberal arts college in 1923, and in 1937 it adopted its famous New Program of liberal education.
,., •
In 1951 the College became co-educational. It opened a second campus in Santa Fe, New
Mexico, in 1964. The campus is a Nationai Historic Landmark and lies within the
Annapolis Historic District.

THE COLONIAL BUILDINGS
THE 18TH CENTURY
McDowell Hall
0
Simon Duff, a Scotch architect, came to
Maryland especially to construct this building as the official
mansion of Thomas Bladen, coloniai governor of Maryland. Begun
in 1742, it was abandoned as being too grandiose and became
known as "Bladen's Folly." It was admired by Thomas Jefferson,
who wrote in 1766 that "They have no publick building worth
mentioning except the governor's house, the hull of which after
being finished, they have suffered to go to ruin." For years it was
the only building on campus. It was here that Francis Scott Key,
who graduated as class valedictorian and went on to organize the
alumni association, attended classes. In 1824 two dinners and a
ball were given in the Great Hall for General Lafayette. T.he Great
Hall also served as headquarters of the Union Army Medical
Corps from 1863 to the end of the Civil War. The building is
named for St. John's first president, John McDowell. In terms of
the 17 42 starting date, it is the third oldest academic building in
continuous use in the United States.

Chancellor Johnson House

A fine example of an early
18th century, gambrel-roofed dwelling, the Chancellor Johnson
House also was moved to the campus. The house was
purchased in 193 7 by the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company which gave it to the city with the
provision that it be moved from Northwest Street
to make room for projected offices.
In December 1937, the building
was placed on the St. John's Street
side of the campus. It is being used now
as a small dormitory.

Erected in 172223 by Charles Carroll, a surgeon, this T-shaped frame and brick
house was moved in 195 7 to its location on Main Street to the
King George Street side of the campus. Carroll's son, Charles
Carroll, the Barrister, was .born in it in 1724. Carroll was the
prinicpal writer for the Declaration of the Delegates of Maryland
adopted July 6, 1776. A building which may be described as being
of the 18th vernacular type, it was possibly one of the largest
townhouses in Annapolis at the time of its erection. It is notable
for its beautiful interiors.
•The numbers shown
are keyed to the descriptive
paragraphs on the following panels.
There are and ever will be the poor and the
rich, the men of labor and the men of leisure, and
the State which neglects either, neglects a duty, and
neglects it at its p12ril for whichever it neglects will be not
only useless but mischievous.

�TURN-OF-THE CENTURY BUILDINGS
THE VICTORIAN BUILDINGS
THE 19TH CENTURY
McDowell Hall served as the single building on campus until the
college's fifth president, Hector Humphreys, DD, undertook St.
John's first major building program and thereupon transformed
the campus. The result was to flank McDowell, on its crested
position, with two new lower-lying brick buildings on either side.
0
Humphreys Hall
The first building of this era subsequently was named for Humphreys in 1857, less than a year after his
death. Located on the southern side of McDowell, it is considered
an excellent example of a castellated Gothic Revival notable for
its octagonal towers at the corners. It was designed by Robert
Cary Long, Jr., Baltimore architect and a leading influence in the
Gothic Revival movement. Known initially as "the boarding
house" after its completion in 1837, Humphreys first was used as
a dormitory and later as a science hall. In 1958 the interior was
razed and rebuilt as a dormitory. The college bookshop in the
basement displays the original center support of the building, a
handsome foundation wall of salmon-colored brick pierced by a
row of round-headed arches.
Chase·Stone House
Q
Built at the end of the classical
renaissance period and at the beginning of the Victorian, the
Chase-Stone House is considered to be a direct descendant in
style of a Florentine palace. It was completed in 1857 and was
used originally as a duplex residence for the president and vicepresident of the college. Later it became a dormitory. In 1963
James Wood Burch, Annapolis architect, undertook the complete
renovation of the building. The dormitory was named for Samuel
Chase and Thomas Stone, members of the college's original
Board of Governors and two of the four Maryland signers of the
Declaration of Independence.
Paca·Carroll House
G
Although the Paca-Carroll House
was built in 185 7 as another duplex to serve two faculty families,
the Paca-Carroll House is a simple, well-proportioned building
more reminiscent of the Federal era than that of Victorian times.
The building, which now serves as a dormitory, was named in
honor of William Paca, who was among those who petitioned the
General Assembly for the college charter, and Charles Carroll of
Carrollton. Both Paca and Carroll were signers of the Declaration
of Independence. Carroll also was a member of St. John's original
board .
THE ST. JOHN'S
CONCEPT OF EDUCATION
St. John's College seeks to teach young men and
women how to think. The College believes that the
skills of rational thought, of careful analysis, of logical
choice, of imaginative experimentation, and of clear
communication are the tools of man's understanding.
Their acquisition is the principal goal of a liberal
education.
The College has other goals as well. It aims to
acquaint the student with his Western heritage through
reading and seminar discussion of some 130 basic
books - landmarks in literature, philosophy and theology, history and social sciences, mathematics and
natural science. Finally, it encourages him to search for
underlying principles and gain some understanding of
himself, his fellows, his world, and his God - in other
words, to formulate his philosophy of life.
To this end St. John's College has prescribed a single
four-year course of study leading to the degree of
Bachelor of Arts. This course is the modern equivalent
of the traditional education of the founding fathers of
this Republic. It is contemporary in its stress upon
mathematics and the laboratory sciences, both of which
are studied throughout the four years. St. John's faculty
members emphasize the inter-relatedness of all fields
of knowledge in their teaching.
Since 193 7, when the present curriculum was undertaken, there have been no departments and no majors
at St. John's College. The lecture system has been
largely replaced by seminars, tutorials, and laboratories.
Classes are small and informal discussion groups. There
are seminars on Great Books, daily tutorials in language
and mathematics, semi-weekly laboratory periods, a
Friday ever:ing lecture series, and tutorials in music
during the sophomore year.
The alumni of St. John's college are the best measure
of its success. Over three-fifths of all graduates have
entered upon postgraduate study in fields ranging from
architecture ro theology, from medicine to philosophy.
Most alumni report that their St. John's education is
serving them well.

Pinkney Hall
0
Dedicated in 1858 as a men's dormitory,
this building was named for William Pinkney (1764-1822),
believed to be the only identifiable pupil of King Williams'
School. Pinkney served as minister to England and Russia and as
Attorney General under Madison. Chief Justice Marshall called
Pinkney "the greatest man I ever saw in a court of justice." With its
gothic gable, the building has Italianate overtones and bears
resemblances to St. Anne's Episcopal Church on Church Circle.

Woodward Hall
The St. John's library, with its Georgian
revival style, was erected in 1899 and extensively renovated in
1968, when the rear of the building was extended and a fourth
level added. Named for Henry Williams Woodward, father of a
board member and a college benefactor, the library contains
60,000 volumes, including the Bray Collection of 400 volumes
believed to have comprised the first free public library in North
America. The library, with its elegant King William and Hartle
rooms, provides individual study carrels, making quiet areas for
study for St. John's students.
Randall Hall

Iglehart Hall
(t:)
Randall Hall was built in 1903 and named for
the Randall family which for generations had been intimately
connected with the college. Its neo-classical dining room, with its
sumptuous detail, is considered one of the best rooms in
Annapolis. The upper rooms are used as a dormitory.
The college gymnasium, which was dedicated
in 1910, is named for Lt. E. Berkeley Iglehart, an alumnus who had
a distinguished military career and who helped make the building
a reality.
LATER BUILDINGS
The Boathouse
G>
The cornerstone for the boathouse on
College Creek was laid in 1934. It permits the college to maintain
an active program in boating.
Campbell Hall
OTHER THINGS TO SEE
G:)
Designed as a modified Georgian building,
Campbell was dedicated in 1954 and represented the first
dormitory to be completed on campus since the erection of
Randall. It was built for women students, first admitted in 1951. It
was named for Levin Hicks Campbell, a member of the class of
1793 and grandfather of Milton Campbell, who contributed
generously toward its erection. The building was designed by the
Baltimore firm of James R. Edmunds.
«l)
French Monument
The monument near the
college boathouse was erected on April 19, 1911, in
honor of the French soldiers and sailors who died en
route to Yorktown and were buried on campus. Dedi·
cated by President Taft. it is considered the first monument to the unknown war dead of any place in the
world .
4D
The College Cannon
The cannon near
McDowell Hall is one of 13 cannons used in the War of
1812 and dredged out of the Baltimore Harbor to be
placed in historically significant locations. It was
presented to the college on September 14, 1914, by the
Peggy Stewart Tea Party Chapter, DAR, and the National
Star Spangled Banner Centennial Commission.
The Liberty Bell ~
The replica of the Liberty Bell
standing on the front campus is one of 48 cast in 1950
by the U.S. Department of Treasury as part of a nationwide drive to promote the sale of defense bonds. In a
speech at the dedication May 13, 1953, John M.
Whitmore said, "St. John's College, just as the bell, is
symbolic of liberty and of man's constant battle to
become and remain free. "The pediment of the bell was
financed by pennies contributed by Anne Arundel
County School children.

Quadrant and Plinth
Near the dining hall
entrance on the quadrangle behind McDowell is a
graduated quadrant and plinth used to measure the
noonday altitude of the sun. They are simlar to the
instruments described by Ptolemy in his Almagest.
Alumni Memorial Tablet
Francis Scott Key Auditorium and Mellon Hall
(E) & 40
Designed by the California firm of Neutra and Alexander, this
building on the lower campus contains the 600-seat Key Auditorium, conversation room and music library, and classrooms and
laboratories named for Paul Mellon, an alumnus and generous
benefactor of the college. The planetarium is named for Theodore
R. McKeldin, a former governor of Maryland. President Eisenhower gave the principal address at its dedication in 1958.
Harrison Health Center
(0
The infirmary is the newest
building on the campus. Built in the shape of a Greek cross, it is
designed to live quietly by the Carroll-Barrister House without
making use of 18th century architectural detail. Proportions
harmonize. The infirmary is designed with the same roof pitch as
that of Carroll-Barrister, and the projecting part of each of the
infirmary's end walls is only a foot less wide than its colonial
neighbor. Hand-molded Oxford brick from Pennsylvania match
the coarseness of bricks of the Carroll-Barrister House. The
building, designed by James Wood Burch and William H. Kirby,
Jr., was dedicated at homecoming, October 1972.
fa
This memorial erected
in 1920 honors the 452 St. John's students who served
during World War I. The figure on the bronze tablet
depicts the Alma Mater with a drawn sword bowed in
mourning over those alumni whose names are inscribed
on the shield. There she crowns with a palm of eternal
peace. Her shield is an adaptation of the college seal
and is emblazoned with the honor roll.
The Liberty Tree •
The last of this country's
Liberty Trees stands on the northern side of the campus
nearthe library. Believed to be more than 400 years old,
this tulip poplar during the American Revolution
sheltered the Sons of Liberty and the French en route
south to Yorktown for the final battle of the War for
Independence. It is almost certainly the "very large tree
on a fine piece of ground" under which the first
Methodist sermon in Maryland was delivered.
