COLLEGE
Annapolis, Maryland
21401
St. John's College is a direct descendant of King William's School, founded in 1696 and under the auspices of the
Anglican Church until the Act of 1776 disestablished the Church oi England. The location of the college was proposed for its present site as early as 1761 by, among others, Charles Carroll, the Barrister, whose house now
stands on campus. The 17
Act of Consolidatiqn divided the corporation of King William School, with one part
for St. John's and the other for th.e school to be operated under a board until the college opened.
When St. John's was chartered in 1784 to "perjJetuate a succession of able and honest men;' it was with a view
also to its being the western branch of the firs\: University of Maryland with Washington College on the Eastern
Shore as the other. Four oi the college founders were signers of the Declaration of Independence. They were
Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Governor William! Paca, Thomas Stone, and Samuel Chase. The two latter were on
the first board.
To assure that St. John's would be "for the benefit oi 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 All'son, a Presbyterian divine, representing the Protestants generally.
When the college actually began classes in 1789, it absorbed the property of the King William School.

McDowell Hall
0
Simon Duff, a Scotch architect, came
to Maryland especia lly to construct this building as the official mansion of Thomas Bladen , co loni al governor of
Maryland. Begun in 1742, it was abandoned as being too grandiose and became known as "Bladen's Foll{' A building in the
style of James Gibbs, it was designed originally with wings.
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 afte r being finished, they
have suffered to go to ruin:' For years it was the only building
on campus. Students slept on the third floor. It was here that
Francis Scott Key, who graduated as c lass va ledictorian and
went on to organize the alumni associat ion, attended classes.
In 1824 two dinners and a ba ll 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 the
end of the Civi l War. The building is named for St. John's first
president, John McDowell. In terms of the 1742 start ing date,
it is the third oldest academ ic building in continuous use in
the United States.
Charles Carroll, The Barrister, House
::oi:
:·~, ~~~~~
0
Erected in
1722-23 by Charles Ca rroll , a surgeon, this T-sh aped frame
and brick house was moved in 1955 from its location on Main
Street to the King George Street sid e of the campus. Carroll's
son, Charles Carroll, the Barrister, was born in it in 1724. Carroll was the principal writer for the Declaration oi the
Delegates of Maryland adopted July 6, 1776. He was also active during the early 1760s in legislative efforts to found a co llege at St. John's prese nt site. A building that may be described
as being of the 18th vernacular type, it was poss ibly one oi
the largest town houses in Annapolis at the time oi its erection. It is notable for its beautiful interiors.
Chancellor Johnson House
8
A fine example of
an early 18th century, gambre l-roofed dwelling, the
Chancellor Johnson House was also moved to
the campus. The house was purchased in
1937 by the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company, which gave it
to the city with the provision
that it be moved from Northwest Street
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 peril for whichever it neglects will
be not only useless but mischievous.

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, constructed in 1835, 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
remodeled 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 vice-president 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
C)
Although the Paca-Carroll
House was built in 1857 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 was also
a member of St. John's original board.
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.
ABOUT
Sr. JoHN's
St. John's College is a small college with campuses in
Annapolis, Md., and in Santa Fe, N.M. Its nationally
known New Program in liberal arts, founded in 1937,
is centered in writings generally called the Great Books.
Most are read and discussed in two-hour Monday and
Thursday night seminars. Others, exploring the philosophical foundations of biology, physics, astronomy, and
mathematics, are read in the mathematics tutorials and
in the laboratory program. Poetry and drama are important in the language tutorials.
There is little lecturing other than a formal Friday
night lecture, which the faculty and students are expected to attend. Instead, students learn through discussions. The faculty consists of "tutors;' rather than "professors;' who have learned to teach in many parts of
St. John's interdisciplinary program . Faculty-student ratio
is 1-8.
There are no majors or minors in the curriculum,
which is completely prescribed. Because of this students
may enter St. John's only as freshmen, but they can
transfer back and forth between the college's two campuses. In addition to four years of seminar, in which
students attempt through the readings to understand
fundamental problems that man faces today and at all
times, there are four years of mathematics and languages, three of the laboratory sciences, and two of
music.
Grades are kept for purposes of the record and for
graduate work but are not revealed unless students request them. Students learn rather about their progress
through "do n rags;' conferences with their tutors. Annual papers relating to the books are important. A senior
thesis, upon which a student is publicly examined, is
a critical requirement for graduation.
St. John's offers a summer's master's program on its
Annapolis campus and a year-round graduate program
on its Santa Fe campus.

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 81,000 volumes, including remnants of
the Bray Collection believed to have comprised the first free
public library in North America. The library, with its elegant
King William Room , provides individual study carrels, making quiet areas for study for St. John's students.
Randall Hall
0
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. In 1980 an addition was added to provide a modern
kitchen and private din ing room .
Iglehart Hall
~ The college gymnasium, which was
dedicated in 1910, is named for Lt. E. Berkeley Iglehart, an
alumnus who had a distingushed military career and who
helped make the building a reality.
LATER BUILDINGS
Cl) The cornerstone for the boathouse
on College Creek was laid in 1934. It enables the college to
maintain an active program in boating .
The Boathouse
~
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, Jr.
Campbell Hall
Francis Scott Key Auditorium and Mellon Hall
4D
G) &
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 their dedication in 1958.
Gl) 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 bricks from
Pennsylvania match the coarseness of bricks of the CarrollBarrister House. The building, designed by James Wood Burch
and William H. Kirby, Jr., was dedicated at homecoming, October 1972.

OTHER THINGS To SEE
4D
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.
Dedicated by President Taft, it is among the first
monuments to the unknown war dead of recent times.
G) 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 College Cannon
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
G)
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 similar to the
instruments described by Ptolemy in his Almagest.
Alumni Memorial Tablet
f8
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. These 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
fl
The last of this country's
Liberty Trees stands on the northern side of the campus near the 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.

�About St. John's College
t. John?s College is best known for its New
Program-the curriculum centered on the
reading and discussion of the great books
of Western civilization from the works of Plato
and Aristotle to those of Einstein and Faulkner.
However, the college is also one of the oldest
colleges in the United States, tracing its origins
to r696, when it opened as King William's
School in the brand-new capital of Annapolis.
The school, similar in concept to today's prep
school, was folded into St. John?s College in
r784 when the college was chartered by the
State of Maryland. For the next r50 years,
St. John?s at times was a thriving institution
and at other times struggled-through wars? low
enrollment, the r929 stock market crash, and
what might have been the final blow, the loss of
accreditation. Bythe mid-r93os, the college was
in danger of closing for good.
S
In an effort to save St. John?s, the college?s
board hired Stringfellow Barr and Scott
Buchanan, two academics with revolutionary
educational ideas, to revamp the curriculum.
The pair implemented the New Program, a
cohesive, interdisciplinary course of studywith
the great books as its foundation. In r964, a
second campus was established, in Santa Fe,
New Mexico. Today, the New Program still
thrives, as does St. J ohn?s College, one of the
nation?s most distinctive institutions of higher
education.
Begin your self-guided tour of St. ]ohn 's College
on College Avenue, at the replica of the
Liberty Bell.
�1
Liberty Bell (I952)
The U.S. Department of the Treasury cast
48 replicas of the Liberty Bell (one for each of
the states that had by then entered the union)
in Ig52. The Annapolis Chamber of Commerce
installed this replica on the campus. At its
dedication, local business leader 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 to remain free."
All St. John?s students read the founding
documents of the nation, including the
Constitution~ Declaration of Independence~
and the Federalist Papers.

Next Stop: Continue up the path to
McDowell Hall.
3 McDowell Hall
(c.1744)
In I742, Maryland Governor Thomas
Bladen began to build a grand Georgian
mansion with a symmetrical facade on this
elevated site. When the profligate Bladen ran
afoul of the colonial assembly, construction
stopped abruptly at the second-floor level. The
unfinished shell became known as "Bladen's
Folly." After the American Revolution, the
new State of Maryland chartered St. John's
�TUE BAR.R-BUCHANAN CENTER/WOODWAUD HAU,
College in I784 and gave the school the unfinished building and surrounding four acres.
Two years later Joseph Clark, architect of the
State House dome, was hired to complete the
building. He added a third floor, cupola, and
bell tower. The building was named for John
McDowell, the college's first principal.
McDowell Hall housed the entire college for
manyyears: classrooms, dormitory, lecture
hall, grammar school, laboratory, and library.
After a devastating fire in Igog, the building
was reconstructed to its original specifications, a preservation victory for alumni.
The Seneca stone porch on the building's east
side was added in Igo3.
In a r766 letter? Thomas Jefferson referred to
McDowell Hall as "the one publfo building
worth mentioning,' in the city of Annapolis.
Nea;t Stop: Walk east to the Barr-Buchanan
Center/Woodward Hall.
�The Bar:rMBuchanan
4 Cente1·/WoodwardHall (I899)
1
Along with Randall Hall? Woodward Hall was
one of two buildings added to the campus after
the Civil War. Duringthewar? St. John's
College was taken over by the Union Army,
first as the site of a camp for paroled prisoners?
and later, as a military hospital. At the war's
end? the campus and its buildings were in a
sorry state. The Maryland Assembly gave the
college a small grant to begin repairs? but the
college had to borrow more to repair the
damage and soon found itself burdened with
debt. James T. Woodward, a New York banker,
assumed the college's mortgage at favorable
terms and made other generous gifts to the
college. In gratitude, the college named its
first post-war building after his father,
Henry Williams Woodward.
Woodward Hall, designed by T. Henry Randall,
architect of Baltimore's Lyric Opera House,
was built to house the library; the physics?
chemistry, and biology labs; and the armory.
When the library outgrew Woodward Hall in
Igg6, the buildingwas renovated and rededicated as the Barr-Buchanan Center to honor
the founders of the New Program. The
building now houses the Graduate Institute.
Ne<1;t Stop: Walk to the left of the BarrBuchanan Center to the Chase-Stone House.
Long-time Annapolitans still miss the Liberty
Tree? a tulip poplar that stood on the front
lavv-n of the St. John?s campus for about 400
years. It was under the Libertyrrree's branches
that the Sons of Liberty met to hear Samuel
Chase and other patriot~orators argue for
American independence from Great Britain.
The majestic tree succumbed to age and
weather in I999~ when the college was forced to
have it taken down.
�5 Chase-Stone House
(I857)
Chase-Stone House is named after
Samuel Chase and Thomas Stone, two of
Maryland's four signers of the Declaration
of Independence, who were members of the
college's first board of directors. Italianate in
style, the Chase-Stone House was originally
a duplex that housed the families of the
president and vice-president. Modeled after a
Florentine palace, Chase-Stone was built at the
end of the Classical Revival period.
The building became a fraternity house in Ig29
and remained so for a decade. After President
Stringfellow Barr discontinued fraternities in
Ig38, Chase-Stone became a dormitory.
Next stop: Head back toward the center of
campus to Pinkney Hall, on the east side of
McDowell Hall.
6 Pinkney Hall
(I858)
St. John's College has manyillustrious
alumni, among them senators, governors,
state legislators, and diplomats. George
Washington sent his step-grandson and
nephews here; Francis Scott Key was a I796
graduate of the college. The only historical
figure who can be traced to the original King
William's School is William Pinkney, who
served as Attorney General under President
Jam es Madison, as well as minister to both
England and Russia.
The building wasn't occupied until after the
Civil War, when the student population began
to rebound. The building was designed by
N.G. Starkweather to complement Humphreys
Hall, on the opposite side of the quad, and
complete the "Yale Row" that is a distinctive
�feature of the campus. Renovated in Ig42,
Pinkneynowhouses dormitoryrooms and
administrative offices.
The cannon between Pinkney and McDowell
Hall is from the War of I8I2 and was dredged
out of the Baltimore Harborwi.th I2 others.
Netct stop: Just west of Pinkney is Randall Hall.
7 Randall Hall (I903)
Randall Hall combines Renaissance,
Baroque, and Georgian styles into Beaux Arts
style. Before a Ig8o renovation, dinner was
served on monogrammed plates by bow-tied
student waiters. Namedafter alumnus John
Wirt Randall, a local attorney, member of the
Maryland State Senate, and member of the
college's board, the building now houses dorm
rooms, the dining hall and kitchen, and
administrative offices.

Next Stop: Walk north on the path that winds
around the back of Randall to the Harrison
Health Center.
8
Harrison Health Cente1~ (I972)
Annapolis architect Jam es Wood Burch
was praised for designing this building to
blend seamlesslywith the college's historic
architecture. The health center is in the shape
of a Greek Cross, the same shape used as the
Red Cross symbol.
Ne.1:t stop: Walk toward King George Street to
the Carroll Barrister House.
�9 Carroll Barrister House (c.
:r724)
One of the oldest surviving residences in
Annapolis, this building was home to Charles
Carroll the Barrister (so called to distinguish
him from the other wealthy and important
Carrolls of Maryland). The house was originally located at the corner of Main and
Conduit streets. In I955 when the building
was in danger of being torn down for commercial development, local preservationists raised
the money to move the building. Carefully
separated from the oyster-shell mortar that
held it in place, the T-shaped house was
divided into two sections, and the main block
was rolled to the St. John's campus on a flatbed
truck. The building was meticulously restored
by the college.
Directly behind the house sits a fragrant
boxwood garden, dedicated in Ig84 to the late
Kate Moore Myers, a St. John's benefactor.
Next stop: Return to the front of the Carroll
Barrister House and, crossing the walkway,
you'll see Iglehart Hall, the college
gymnasium.
1QIglehartHall
(I9Io)
The building that houses the college's
gymnasium was named for alumnus
Lt. E. Berkeley Iglehart, a distinguished army
officer. While the New Program brought
an end to most intercollegiate athletics
(President Barr objected to the disruptive
nature of such programs), the college boasts
a thriving intramural program. Iglehart Hall
houses a basketball court, weight room,
dance studio, locker rooms, and a suspended,
banked wooden track.
�Next stop: From the north side of the gym
parking lot, follow the path past the tennis
courts to the French Monument and Hodson
Boathouse.
11 French Monument
(Ign)
When the French were marching
through Annapolis on their way to the pivotal
Battle of Yorktown in I78I, several soldiers
died here and were buried on campus, near
College Creek. The monument was erected in
their honor. No one knows howmanysoldiers
were buried here or who theywere, but the
monument stands as one of the first
memorials in the country to the unknown
dead.
Present at the unveiling of the French
Monument:
President Taft
French Ambassador Jean J ]usserand
Descendants ofLafayette and de Grasse
RANDALL DINING HALL
�12 Hodson Boathouse (:r934)
This Adirondack-style building was
constructed in r934 and renovated in r989.
On the main floor of the boathouse is an allpurpose room. The lower level houses boats
used by the college's crew team, which takes
part in intercollegiate regattas. Several boats
are named for well-loved faculty members and
other prominent college figures.
Crew, fencing, croquet, and sailing are the only
intercollegiate sports at St. John?s College.
Ne:i;t stop: On your way back up the path to the
main part of campus, you'll see Gilliam and
Spector halls on your right.
Gilliam
Hall
13 Spector Hall
(2004) and
(2005)
These two modern dormitories were the first
built on campus since the completion of
Campbell Hall. Gilliam Hall is named for
James H. Gilliam, Jr., an African-American
businessman, civic leader, and philanthropist,
who was a trustee of The Hodson Trust.
The Trust provided generous support for the
dormitory. Spector Hall is named for Philip
Spector, the father of Warren Spector, a rg8r
graduate of the college and President and Cochief Operating Officer of Bear, Stearns & Co.
Inc. Mr. Spector's gift to the college made
construction of the dormitory possible.
Designed by the Baltimore firm ofZiger/
Snead, the two buildings draw from the
historic architecture of the upper campus,
but also are clearly contemporary. They feature
modern geothermal heating and cooling
systems.
Next stop: Cross the campus to Mellon Hall.

Mellon Hall/ F1·ancis Scott Key
Auditorium (I958)
Mellon Hall is named in honor of Paul Mellon,
a philanthropist, the heir to the Andrew
Mellon banking fortune, and a student at
St. John's for one year before he joined the
service during World War II. The building was
designed by Austrian-born architect Richard
Neutra, a protegee of Frank Lloyd Wright, and
a leading proponent of the Modern Movement.
Most of Neutra's work was in the West, principally California. Mellon Hall is one of only
three of his surviving buildings east of the
Mississippi. Two later additions created an
administrative wing and the Elizabeth Myers
Mitchell Art Gallery. In 2002, a
renovation/expansion project added classrooms, a new conference room, pottery studio,
and faculty offices.
The Francis Scott Key Auditorium is a venue
for lectures, concerts, plays, film series, and
community events.
As you leave Mellon Hall andhead back toward
front campus, take the brick steps leading up
to the quad and you'll see the New Program
Seal in the landing. The Latin words are Facio
Liberos Ex Liberis Libris Libraque, translated
as, "I make free adults out of children by
means of a book and a balance."
Ne.1;t stop: Continue up the steps, turn to your
right, and you'll see Campbell Hall.

Campbell Hall (I954)
After 250 years as an all-male school,
St. John's admitted its first class of women in
Ig5I. The Colonial Revival-style Campbell Hall
was built as a women's dorm and opened in
Ig54. Although the decision to go co-ed
�THE LJBER'fY TUEE
sparked some campus protests, the first class
of 25 women surprised their male counterparts by succeeding admirably in their math
and science work as well as in philosophy,
literature, and all other parts of the program.
Next stop: Follow one of the paths on your
right leading to the parking lot behind
Campbell to visit some of the oldest buildings
on campus.

Chancellor Johnson House
(c. I720)
Also known as the Reverdy Johnson house,
this gambrel-roofhouse, a fine example of
earlyI8th-century-style Colonial homes, was
originally built at g Northwest Street as the
home of Allen Quynn, a mayor of Annapolis.
John Johnson, Jr., an I82I alumnus, bought
the house in Ig3I. Johnson served as
Chancellor of Maryland from I846 until I85I,
when the position was abolished. The house
remained in the Johnson family until IgI7,
then changed hands several times before
ending up as the property of the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company. The
company planned to raze the dwelling for an
expansion, but the college joined a group of
budding historic preservationists and had the
house moved to the campus in Ig37.
Ne:;r;t stop: Directly south of the Chancellor
Johnson House is the Paca-Carroll House, the
counterpart to the Chase-Stone House.
17 Paca-CarrollHouse
(I857)
Named after two Maryland signers of
the Declaration of Independence, William
Paca and Charles Carroll of Carrollton, PacaCarroll House was built during the same
construction boom that produced Chase-Stone
and Pinkney. Originally a duplex for faculty
housing, this Federal/Greek Revival building
became a fraternity house in Ig29, and was
converted to a dormitory in the late Ig3os.
An addition was completed in Ig8I.
Next stop: Turn back to the front campus
toward Humphreys Hall.
�18
Humphreys Hall (x837)
This Gothic Revival building designed
by noted Baltimore architect Robert Cary
Long, Jr. is distinguished by its octagonal
towers and was an early component of the
college's Yale Row. Named for Hector
Humphreys, one of the longest-serving and
most effective of the college's presidents,
the building housed science laboratories and
dorm rooms during its earlier years. Today,
Humphreys remains a dormitory. The college
bookstore-open to the public-is housed in the
basement.
Next stop: From Humphreys Hall, take the
brick walkway toward the southwestern corner
of campus for the final stop on your walking
tour, the Greenfield Library.

Greenfield Library (1:~)34)
St. John's deeded this plot ofland to
the State of Maryland for $IO in I934 for the
Maryland Hall of Records. Baltimore architect
Laurance Hall Fowler designed the Georgian
Revival building that served as the archives
until Ig84, when the state built a new facility
on Rowe Boulevard. The college acquired the
building to house a new library. Travis Price, a
Washington, D.C. architect andI97I alumnus,
designed the renovation. The project involved
adding a basement annex, gutting the central
core, and restoring the perimeter rooms.
In Igg6, classes were canceled for a day so that
students, faculty, and staff could ferry books
across the front campus from the old library
in Woodward Hall to the Greenfield Library,
named for I953 alumnus Stewart Greenfield. :!~

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 18TH CENTURY
McDowell Hall

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.

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

�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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Description
An account of the resource
<strong>Abstract</strong><br />The scope of the materials in this collection is focused on St. John’s College, Annapolis, particularly related to its functions, activities, and perceptions of St. John’s College in the news media. Records include items such as correspondence with public figures, planning notes for public activities, newspaper clippings about the College, essays and published materials, along with some assorted ephemera. While the bulk of the materials are from the 20th century, some items date back into the 18th and 19th century. Because of the breadth of time covered by the collection, many important cultural and educational milestones are represented in the materials. It is also worth noting that the St. John’s College Santa Fe campus is occasionally mentioned in these records, though it is not the focus of the collection.<br /><p><strong>Arrangement<br /></strong>Items are arranged in series by type of record (such as Correspondence) or subject matter (such as 275<sup>th</sup> Anniversary).</p>
<p><strong>Related Material<br /></strong>Almost all of the materials pertaining to the history of St. John’s College prior to 1900 are housed at the Maryland State Archives. For permission to access to these collections see the Director of the St. John’s College Greenfield Library. The St. John’s College archives collections also include materials related to: commencement; admissions; Dr. Richard Weigle; Hector Humphrey; other college officials, etc. These materials are housed in separate collections but may also be useful to consult. </p>

St. John's College History Collection
Description
An account of the resource
<strong>Abstract</strong><br />The scope of the materials in this collection is focused on St. John’s College, Annapolis, particularly related to its functions, activities, and perceptions of St. John’s College in the news media. Records include items such as correspondence with public figures, planning notes for public activities, newspaper clippings about the College, essays and published materials, along with some assorted ephemera. While the bulk of the materials are from the 20th century, some items date back into the 18th and 19th century. Because of the breadth of time covered by the collection, many important cultural and educational milestones are represented in the materials. It is also worth noting that the St. John’s College Santa Fe campus is occasionally mentioned in these records, though it is not the focus of the collection.<br /><p><strong>Arrangement<br /></strong>Items are arranged in series by type of record (such as Correspondence) or subject matter (such as 275<sup>th</sup> Anniversary).</p>
<p><strong>Related Material<br /></strong>Almost all of the materials pertaining to the history of St. John’s College prior to 1900 are housed at the Maryland State Archives. For permission to access to these collections see the Director of the St. John’s College Greenfield Library. The St. John’s College archives collections also include materials related to: commencement; admissions; Dr. Richard Weigle; Hector Humphrey; other college officials, etc. These materials are housed in separate collections but may also be useful to consult. </p>

�ANNAPOLIS: AN HISTORICAL SKETCH
THE ARK and the Dove are to Maryland what the .M ayflower is to 1\!Iassachusetts. In 1634 these tWo vessels arrived at what is now St. Mary's, carrying two hundred colonists sent out by Cecilius Calvert, second Lord Baltimore.
No extensive settlements were made in the region of Annapolis, -however, until
fourteen years later. By r6so the Severn district was populous enough to become
a county, called Anne Arundel after Lady Baltimore, who was the daughter of the
Earl of Arundel. The principal port of this section was known first as Proctor's
Landing, then as" Anne Arundel Town upon the Severn." In 1695 it was formally
christened Annapolis · for Princess Anne, later Queen of England.
An act passed by the Maryland Assembly in r683 was of great benefit to "Anne
Arundel's Town," for it became the residence of the district collector, the naval
officer, and the deputies for the dispatch of shipping. Only from such legally
established ports could ships clear with their rich cargoes of tobacco, and to them
all vessels had to come from outside the Colony before discharging either goods
or passengers. In r694 the town was further strengthened by the transfer of the
capital from St. Mary's. A "publique ferry" was instituted on the Severn and a
ferry keeper hired for 9000 pounds of tobacco yearly. Commissioners appointed
by the Royal Governor laid the town out in the charming pattern which it retains
today, and work went rapidly forward on a brick State House. By I-700 Annapolis
was fairly launched upon a career of prosperity which lasted only until Revolutionary days, but which set a stamp upon the city for all time.
Let us make no mistake about the wealth of the early Annapolitans. Men like
Charles Carroll of Carrollton were rich even by the standards of today. The two
characteristics of that period were great wealth and a high level of cultivation
sustained by close contact with Europe. The planters and merchants of early
Annapolis were as rich as the nobles and merchants of England, and their social
life was of a piece with that of the mother country. Annapolis had its coffee
houses and its clubs of wits; its sedan chairs and its coaches; its portrait painters
, and its silversmiths. It erected the first theatre building in America. Best of all
it had its architects and its builders. The famous Frenchman, De Tocqueville,
called Annapolis the only finished city he had seen in America, and there can
be no doubt that his judgment rested largely on the mansions of the gentry, standing in a spacious belt between the foot of the State House Hill and the water front.
The tide of prosperity was already spent after the Revolution, but Annapolis
remained the capital of Nl:aryland and it became in r 845 the seat of the Naval
Academy. These two +?.ctot ~ preserved it from dec~y-at the same time the city
was never overwhelmeL
the march of progress so deadly to the landmarks of
J
1
�an old time. In the words of Dr. Gilbert Grosvenor, president of the National
Geographic Society, "Annapolis has been preserved as our country's most truly
colonial city. , You may wander about this fine old community and feel that you are
living in those dramatic days when the little city on the Severn h~d a major part
in shaping the course of the Nation's history."
Annapolis is still a city of blue water, red brick, and green shade. Street
vistas end as of old in the noble outline of the State House, or in a patch of
water coursing by the slant masts of Chesapeake B;:ty schooners. There has been
no need to widen streets; walks of hollowed and pitted ·brick remain. The charm
of Annapolis is an Old World charm; it consists not only in marked sites where
famous actions took place, but also in the preservation of streets, houses, and even
drawing rooms where those famous actions took place. The city is most charming
in the spring when its box-bordered gardens are at their best and its lindens and
catalpas heavy with bloom.

�McDowELL HALL
McDowell Hall, St. John's College, was begun in 1744 by Thos. Bladen, Fifth
Royal Governor of Maryland, for a governor's palace. Because of his extravagance the colonial assembly refused to appropriate the funds necessary for its
completion, and the building stood unfinished for many years and was known as
" Bladen's Folly."
In 1784, when King William's School was converted into St. John 's College by
legislative enactment, this structure was granted to the College for its administration building, and it was named for the institution 's first President, the Reverend
John McDowell, LL.D. In what is now the assembly hall of St. John's College
a reception was held for Washington in 1791, and this hall, too, in 1824 was the
scene of a banquet and reception given for Lafayette.

JoHN'S CoLLEGE
C'T. JOHN'S began in r696 as King William's School, one of the first free
0 public schools to be established in America. King William's flourished until
the Revolution when, according to tradition, its building became a gun shop .
Among .its scholars were practically all the Annapolitans who held leading positions in the Colonial government from 1720 until the Revolutionary War. Especially noteworthy was William Pinkney, Minister to England, Minister-Plenipotentiary to Russia, and U. S. Attorney-General.
Through the same general forces which created a free America, King William's School became St. John's College. At the granting of St. John's charter in
r784 the property, students, and masters of King William 's were transferred to
the college by legislative enactment. Thus St. John's traces its beginnings to the
earliest Colonial times and in point of age is exceeded only by Harvard and
William and Mary.
At the time of the founding of the College it drew to its support a remarkable
group of men who had been prominent in the struggle for Independence. Among
the promoters of St. John 's were the four :Maryland Signers of the Declaration
of Independence, John Eager Howard, leader of the Maryland Line, John Hanson,
first President of the Continental Congress, Thomas John Claggett, first Protestant
Episcopal Bishop to be ordained in the United States, John Carroll, first Ameri-
King \Villiam's Books, thre e of the 400 volumes inherited from King William's School. Sent to
Maryland in r696 by King William, tbey were a part of one of the earliest free public libraries
in America.
�PORTRAIT OF KING \VILLIAM
111
King \Villiam's School, of which St. John 's College was th e direct successo r, was named for
King William III of England. The original painting by Schlacken hangs in the Mauritshui s at The Hague. Copied by T. Hoogendorp of Rotterdam. Thi s portrait was presented to St. John 's College by \Valter H . Buck, a member of the Board of Visitors and
Governors, and now hangs in McDowell Hall.
�can Catholic Archbishop, and many others of equal eminence. The College was
established as a non-sectarian institution and has always maintained that character.
It is not known how the College got its name. Probably some of the leaders
who were responsible for its transition from King William's School to St. John 's
College had attended St. John's at Oxford.
Francis Scott Key, author of The Star Spangled Banner, was a graduate of
the College in Annapolis in the class of 1796. vVashington visited St. John's in
1791 and later sent to it his stepgrandson, George Washington Parke Custis. The
names of three other members of the Washington family stand on the early rolls
of the College.
No educational institution in the state is more characteristic of Maryland
than St. J olm's College. In its life now, as in its early history, are found names
strong in the business, social and political world of Maryland. It is today a liberal
arts college for men, modern in thought and method yet bringing to the service
of the present the best of its colonial past. As a fitting background for its courses
in the history and culture of America, St. John's is seeking to preserve and
restore four of the architectural treasures of pre-Revolutionary Annapolis: the
Hammond-Harwood House, the Brice House, the Pinkney House, and the Peggy
Stewart House.
FRANCIS SCO'fT KEY
ALEXANDER HAMILTON
Author of The Star Spangled Banner,
graduate of St. John's College in the Class
of 1796. His speech before the Maryland
Legislature saved the College. At the
entrance to McDowell Hall the Alumni
have erected a tablet honoring his memory.
Delegate from New York to the Annapolis Convention of 1786. During his visit
to Annapolis he met many of the political
leaders of that city who were working for
St. John's College, and his name is found
in the Subscribers' Book of St. John's.
