344        Centennial  of  the  University  of  Maryland.    { Am,ju°iy^arm- 
instance  has  followed  the  path  of  acknowledged  improvement  and  promotion. 
At  first  (1841-1876)  it  rented  halls,  Lombard  and  Greene  Streets  (1844-1848), 
Calvert  and  Water  Streets  (1856-1858),  47  North  Calvert  Street  (1858-1868),  12 
West  Baltimore  Street  (1868-1876)  ;  then  (1876-1886)  in  her  own  granite  build- 
ing, 113-115  Aisquith  Street,  originally  a  city  grammar  school,  purchased  and 
rearranged  for  her  specific  needs  ;  then,  outgrowing  these  quarters  (1 886-1 904), 
in  a  much  more  imposing  brick  three-story  building,  erected  for  her  purposes 
on  the  old  site,  including  the  side  and  rear  yards,  109-J15  Aisquith  Street  ;  then 
finally  (1904),  by  a  wise  affiliation  with  the  University  of  Maryland,  to  enjoy 
her  more  liberal  advantages,  wherein  the  larger  life  and  possibilities  are 
afforded  for  developing  broader-minded  men,  a  better  type  of  manhood. 
These  are  milestones  simply  of  her  material  progress,  while  those  of  the 
educational  line  may  be  said  to  stand  out  with  even  greater  boldness. 
At  the  opening  exercises  of  the  centennial  celebration  on  Thurs- 
day morning,  Prof.  John  C.  Hemmeter,  of  the  medical  department 
presided.  Greetings  were  received  from  institutions  and  individuals 
the  world  over.  The  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  was  among 
the  institutions  represented,  its  felicitations  being  presented  by  Prof. 
Henry  Kraemer.  The  address,  which  was  handsomely  engrossed, 
was  as  follows  : —
