Entrance Registers, 1892-1916

This series is comprised of ledgers containing information concerning student enrollment at the Maryland Agricultural College. These registers contain forms filled out by the students indicating their name, place and date of birth, parent or guardian, and post office address. Also included are facts about the student’s father’s occupation, last school attended, and the name of the church to which the student belonged. The individual also indicated the areas in which he was prepared to take an entrance examination and signed an agreement to abide by the rules of the college. The registers of 1910 through 1912 also list women who took the short courses in poultry and dairy. The entrance registers are arranged chronologically. Within each register, student information is listed by class standing, then alphabetically by name. An exception to this are the lists of women taking the short courses in the years 1910 to 1912. These listings are placed at the ends of the registers according to subject and length of course.
