University of Maryland Student Handbooks
For over 100 years, all incoming freshmen
received a Student Handbook, known for many years as the "M Book," to help
orient them to campus. Variously published by the campus chapter of the Young Men"s
Christian Association (Y.M.C.A.), the Maryland Christian Association, the Student
Government Association (SGA), and ultimately the university itself, this publication
included messages from campus administrators, the constitution and bylaws of the
student government, rules of behavior, academic calendars, descriptions of selected
student organizations, parking regulations, and songs and cheers, among many other
items of information that Students needed at their fingertips. They provide an
interesting snapshot of campus and Student life during their nearly 100 years of
publication. Questions? Contact the University Archivist.
