Presidents, Past & Present: A Biographical Portrait New UMBC history exhibit in Special Collections

As UMBC celebrates its 50th anniversary, the university has a chance to reflect on its young but textured past. A new exhibit in Special Collections, Presidents, Past & Present: A Biographical Portrait, explores the lives and leadership of UMBC’s five university presidents and chancellors. These hardworking, intelligent men came from various backgrounds and achieved extraordinary success despite some facing tremendous odds. The personality and passions of each of these leaders has seeped into the character of UMBC, creating the diverse, bright, creative and entrepreneurial community that can be seen today. The exhibit includes the Ralph Coats Roe Award gold medal, awarded to Dr. Hrabowski by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 2015.


Presidents, Past & Present is curated by Tucker Foltz, a graduate student in Historical Studies. Materials are from the University Archives and Special Collections department. Exhibit assistance was provided by archivist Lindsey Loeper, and Special Collections student assistants Krystyna Dyadyura, Rakshith Gowda, and Jenn Montooth.

On display in the Special Collections Reading Room, March 1 - April 1, 2016. Available Monday-Friday 1-4pm, Thursday 1-8pm, or by appointment.

Mr. Valentine graduated Magna Cum Laude from UMBC, with an INDS degree in Social Perspectives on Biomedical Ethics.

Mr. Valentine will discuss the challenges and opportunities for orphan drugs within the drug development and approval system in the United States.  As part of this discussion, he will highlight new improvements in FDA’s regulatory framework intended to expedite the development and review of these drugs. The lecture will also explore the interdisciplinary nature of drug development that is an everyday aspect of Mr. Valentine’s practice.

Over the years several oral history projects have been initiated at UMBC. The first, by Dr. Ed Orser, was completed in the mid-1990s to celebrate UMBC's 30th anniversary. In 2006, Joseph Tatarewicz and Barry Lanman began the UMBC Founders Oral History Project in preparation for UMBC's 40th anniversary. Tatarewicz and Lanman interviewed some of the earliest figures on campus including UMBC's first chancellor Albin O. Kuhn, the first dean, founding faculty members, and some of the first students at UMBC. 

In one of the early interviews with Albin O. Kuhn, Kuhn discusses the white silo that stands near the entrance to I-95. The silo is one of the oldest structures on the UMBC campus and one of the few reminders of Spring Grove Hospital which was located on the site of the UMBC university from 1867 to the 1960s. When Spring Grove sold the land to make way for UMBC, the campus decided to keep the silo. In his interview, Kuhn speaks of this decision.  

"...they were kidding around campus that, calling that the Kuhn Silo because they knew that I had a farm background or an interest in, in fact, farming at the same time I was at UMBC...when they got the road network laid out the silo would not be in the way...and those are fairly heavy concrete things to remove, and I said, "Well, let thing stand. It won't bother anybody and it will be sort of a memory of the fact that this once was used as a farm for the Spring Grove."
