University of Baltimore

To the Members of the Graduating Class,
Today your names will be added to the long list of men and
women who have earned degrees in liberal arts and business at
the University of Baltimore. The earliest entries in this log date
from 1928, when the university graduated 38 students who had
completed the three-year evening law program. (Later consolidation
with the Baltimore College of Commerce extended this list
back to the 1880s.) Now, sixty-one years after graduating its first
class, the University of Baltimore has more than 29,000 alumni.
But the significance of this occasion is not that you are one of
many, but that you yourself have achieved a worthy goal. These
commencement ceremonies are a public recognition of that
accomplishment, and demonstrate the university's pride in your
achievement. On behalf of the faculty, administration and
alumni, congratulations.
Dr. H. Mebane Turner
President
24 May 1989
