This week we present UMBC's first literary magazine, Dialogue. 

Dialogue, Volume 1, Number 1, Winter 1967. UPUB E3- 016. University Publications, University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD) 

UMBC's first literary magazine, Dialogue, was created in 1967 and lasted for only two short years. Early issues of the magazine contained short poems and stories. However, a poem included and written by editor of Dialogue, Glenn Blanchard, in the second edition of the magazine stirred up controversy at UMBC. His poem alluded to racial tensions and used explicit language, upsetting many members of the UMBC community. Chancellor Albin O. Kuhn defended the journal and students' right to free speech, but after a controversy ensued once again (over the display of nude photographs within the Fall 1968 edition of Dialogue), the magazine fell apart and was ordered by Kuhn to officially stop its production.

This week we present an ad in The Retriever for the student lounge and bar The Rathskeller. 


The Retriever, Volume 15, Number 19, March 11, 1981. UPUB- R4. University Publications, University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD) 

The Hillcrest Building, UMBC's first administration building, was a center for student recreational activities including sororities, fraternities, game clubs, and The Rathskeller, also known as "The Ratt," a student lounge/ bar situated in the basement of Hillcrest. The Rathskeller was open for 34 years, providing UMBC students with a place for drinking, dancing, eating, and hanging out outside of classes. It eventually closed in 2000, shortly followed by the demolition of the Hillcrest Building in 2007 to make way for new parking spaces and residential halls.
