Kennedy, John F.-Senator John F. Kennedy visited campus
twice before he became president of the United States. His first visit was on April 27, 1959,
when he was the featured speaker at spring convocation; speaking to a crowd of over 5,000, he
encouraged the students to consider entering politics and to work to solve the problems of the
nation. A little more than a year later, Senator Kennedy was back at the University of Maryland,
on May 14, 1960, to attend a rally supporting his campaign for the presidency.
Kent Hall- dormitory constructed in 1944; designed by
Edwin Wilson Booth and named for Kent County, Maryland; the name "Kermit" is carved
into the side of the front outside stairway, which has led to speculation that Jim
Henson lived in this dormitory; student directories show, however, that Henson never
lived on campus during his undergraduate studies.
Key, Francis Scott, Hall-constructed between 1932 and 1940; named
for Francis Scott Key, author of the "Star-Spangled Banner"
