Opening Reception: Sunday, April 8, 2–4 p.m., with remarks by college historian James E. Lightner
In conjunction with McDaniel College’s 150th anniversary celebration, this timeline exhibit highlights each decade of the college’s 150-year history.
Founded in 1867 as the first coeducational college south of the Mason-Dixon Line, McDaniel was formerly known as Western Maryland College, possibly suggested by John Smith, president of the Western Maryland railroad. In 2002, the college was renamed for William Roberts McDaniel in honor of his 65-year association with the college as a student, professor, administrator and trustee.
Hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m.–4 p.m. For more information, call 410-848-6494.
