U N IVER SITY OF MAINE

G en eral In fo rm a tio n

HISTORY
T he U niversity of Maine is a part of the public educational system
of the State. It was established as a result of the M orrill Act approved
by President Lincoln, Ju ly 2, 1862. T he State of Maine accepted the
conditions of this act in 1863. In 1865 the State created a corporation
to adm inister the affairs of the college. T he original name of the insti­
tution was the State College of A griculture and the Mechanic Arts. T he
name was changed to the University of Maine in 1897.
T he first Board of Trustees was composed of 16 members, each county
delegation in the Legislature selecting one member. Various changes have
occurred in the appointment of Board members. A t the present time seven
members of the Board are appointed by the Governor of the State, with
the advice and consent of the Council, for a term of seven years. One
member is appointed for three years by the Governor upon the nomination
of the Alumni Association. The Commissioner of Education is ex-officio
a member of the Board.
T he institution opened September 21, 1868, with a class of 12 m em ­
bers and a faculty of two teachers. By 1871 four curricula had been
arranged,—A griculture, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and
Elective. By gradual grow th these curricula developed into the College
of Agriculture, the College of Technology, and the College of A rts and
Sciences.
T he Maine A gricultural Experim ent Station was established as a
division of the university by act of the Legislature of 1887, as a result of

the passage by Congress of the H atch Act. It succeeded the Maine F e r ­
tilizer Control and A gricultural Experim ent Station which had been estab­
lished in 1885.
T he College of Law was opened in 1898. It was an integral part of the
institution and until the year 1917 occupied quarters at the corner of
U nion and Second streets in Bangor. Since that time it has been located
on the campus at Orono. It was abolished in 1920.
Graduate instruction has been given by various departments for many
years. The first M aster’s degree was conferred in 1881. T here is no
provision for gradu ate work in advance of that required for the M aster’s
degrees.
Beginning with 1902, a Sum m er Term has been held annually, con­
sisting at first of five weeks, but now of six. It is designed for teachers
in secondary schools and for college students who desire to take advan-

tage of its opportunities, and it also gives some courses for those who
seek an opportunity to make up entrance credits. The departments us­
ually offering courses are Biology, Chemistry, Economics and Sociology,
Education, English, French, German, History, Latin, Mathematics and
Astronomy, Physics, and Spanish.
The university is coeducational, women having been admitted since
1872, in compliance with special legal enactment.

LOCATION
The university is located in Orono, an attractive town of 3,500 population, with good schools and three churches. The campus of 370 acres

borders the Stillwater River, a branch of the Penobscot, and is of great
beauty.
Orono is on the main line of the Maine Central Railroad, eight miles
east of Bangor, half way between Kittery, the most southerly town in
the State on the Maine Central Railroad, and F ort Kent, the most n ortherly town in the State on the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad. It is not
far from the center of population of the State. In addition to steam
railroad connection, there is half-hour trolley service to Bangor, nine
miles, and Old Town, three miles from the campus. Bangor is the third
city of the State in population and an important business center. T he
location of the university gives students who care to do so an opportunity
to avail themselves of its social, religious, and other advantages. Old
Tow n is a prosperous m anufacturing city with about 7,000 inhabitants.

BUILDINGS AND THEIR EQUIPMENT
—The Legislature of 1913 made an appropriation
for the erection of one wing of a women’s dormitory. This was com­
pleted September 1, 1914. The Legislature of 1915 made an appropria­
tion for completing the building. The name was given in honor of Eliza­
beth Abbott Balentine, Secretary and Registrar of the university from
1895 to 1913. It contains accommodations for 110 women.
