Historical note:

The University Archives documents the activities and events of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, a Historically Black and 1890 Land-

Grant University located in Princess Anne, Md. Our institution originated as a result of the efforts by leaders of the Delaware Conference of the

Methodist Episcopal Church. It involved the endeavors of several men; in particular the work of the Rev. Joseph R. Waters and a white minister,

the Rev. John A. B. Wilson. It was named the Delaware Conference Academy for Negroes (a branch of Centenary Biblical Institute in Baltimore)

and opened its doors on Sept. 13, 1886. It was referred to by locals simply as “The Academy” in its early years. Subsequent titles include:

Industrial Branch of Morgan College (which, before 1890 was known by its original name, Centenary Biblical Institute)

Princess Anne Academy

The Eastern Branch University of Maryland Princess Anne Academy of Morgan College(a relationship both with Morgan College and the University of Maryland)

Princess Anne College (a branch of the University of Maryland in 1936)

Maryland State College (1948-1970)

University of Maryland Eastern Shore (1970-present)

Contents:

The University Archives Collection contains the records of the Office of the President dating from the 1940’s to the present, with the

heaviest concentration of documents relating to the tenures of presidents Dr. John T. Williams (1947-1970) and Dr. William P.

Hytche (1975-1996). Pre-1940’s documents are photocopied records, newspaper articles retrieved from online sources or type-

written synopses taken from other sources to supplement records lost in two fires on campus. Also featured prominently are the

records of the Office of Academic Affairs, containing program proposals, memoranda, reports, correspondence and policies. Within

this record group, special attention is given to the Commencement Programs from 1952-present. The collection houses various

record groups representing the individual academic departments on campus dating with gaps from 1950-the present, with the bulk

of records falling within the 1970’s-1990’s range. In amongst the records describing the daily functioning of the academic

departments can be found colorful and informative brochures and event programs. Another large group of records concerns the

Board of Regents with bylaws, clippings, minutes, memoranda, policies, proposals, reports and other materials. The collection also

houses newspaper clippings dating with gaps, from roughly the late 1940’s to the present.

Note: Yearbooks and Course Catalogues are available, but are considered a part of Special Collections and are housed separately

from the University Archives. The Yearbooks have been digitized and that is the preferred method of viewing them as it reduces the

wear and tear on the copies preserved in the climate controlled room. They are accessible through the Special Collections homepage

Descriptive Summary: The Office of the President was established in 1886 with the installment of Benjamin O. Bird as the first

“Principal” (the title at that time). The records document the tenure of thirteen various principals, interims, chancellors and

presidents of UMES throughout its namesakes. The records consist mostly of correspondence, reports, minutes, biographies and

obituaries, newspaper clippings, speeches, publications, and legal documents. Topics range from student life to alumni, academic

departments, growth of facilities, enrollment and degree programs, as well as strategic planning and interactions with local, state

and the national government. The collection is in various stages of processing. Most of it has been processed to the series level, and

in some cases but not all, to the sub-series and folder level. There remains a small portion of unprocessed materials.

Biographies of University of Maryland Eastern Shore administrators (1886-2011)

Benjamin Oliver Bird 1886-1897 – (b. 1855 (or 1853) - d. 1897) – The first principal of “The Academy” hails from Loudon County,

Virginia. He was an alumnus of and formerly taught at the Centenary Biblical Institute (presently Morgan State University). Bird also

taught classes at the Academy. He literally helped to build the school and expand its acreage. In its first 11 years under Bird, records

indicate 53 students graduated from the Academy and a dining room, teacher’s cottage, as well as boys’ and girls’ dormitories were

built. He remained principal until his death in 1897. His wife Portia Bird took over from him.

Portia E. Lovett Bird 1897-1899 – (b. 1859 - d. 1899). She was the wife of Benjamin Oliver Bird and second principal of the Princess

Anne Academy from 1897-1899. She was a graduate of the Storer Normal School in West Virginia. She had also been a teacher at the

Academy in subjects such as physiology and elocution.

Pezavia O’Connell 1899-1902 – (b. 1861 - d. 1930). Born on March 2nd, before the Civil War in seceded Mississippi, this third

principal of Princess Anne Academy was to be called as a minister first. He was the first principal at our institution to have earned a

Ph.D. He held that post from 1899 until 1902. Little changed at Princess Anne Academy during his tenure, not curriculum or facilities,

though there was an increase in enrollment. After his short career in Princess Anne, Maryland, he moved on to teach at Howard

University, Gammon Theological Seminary and in 1920 became head of the history department at Morgan College.

Frank J. Trigg 1902-1910 – (b. 1850 - d. 1933). Our fourth principal was born into slavery as a member of Governor John B. Floyd’s

household staff (In the governor’s mansion in Richmond, Virginia). After losing his arm in a farming accident, he pursued higher education and graduated from Hampton University. He then pursued a secondary-level industrial agriculture program at Norwich

Academy in Connecticut. After graduation, he moved to Abingdon, Virginia to teach at the segregated public schools. He was principal of the Virginia Collegiate and Industrial Institute, which like Princess Anne Academy, was a branch of Baltimore’s Morgan College. He proceeded to become our principal from 1902-1910. He especially emphasized Industrial education in addition to the already strong agriculture program. In addition to science, he taught the Bible, child psychology, hygiene, literature, pedagogy and geography. He made great capital improvements. In 1903 he endeavored to introduce the first night school program although it foundered. He invited nationally known speakers to campus such as Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Dubois, and Madame C.J. Walker. His aim was to stimulate students’ intellect. Trigg left the Academy in 1910 to once again lead Virginia Collegiate and Industrial Institute. In 1915, Trigg became president of Bennett College in Greensboro, N.C., where he spent the next 11 years before retiring.

Thomas H. Kiah 1910-1936– b. April 14, 1873 in Dorchester County, Maryland – d. December 30, 1936. Fifth principal and alumnus

of Princess Anne Academy class of 1900. He then went on to graduate from Morgan College and feeling a calling for the ministry, he

joined the Methodist Episcopal Church's Delaware Conference. The conference assigned him to the pastorship of Union Methodist

Episcopal Church in St. Michaels, Md. He later earned his doctorate of pedagogy from Morgan and other graduate studies at Cornell

and Columbia Universities. At our institution, he paved the way for the transition from what was more of a high school to his dream

of a four-year college. The college was not to be a reality in his tenure, however he is noteworthy, having lasted as principal from

1910-1936, the longest serving head of our institution.

Robert Grigsby 1936-1947––from Lynchburg, Virginia. First a history teacher at the Academy in 1913, then Acting Dean of

Administration for Princess Anne College, the newly named and fully functional four year college that became a reality in 1936. An

alumnus of Morgan College and Columbia University, his tenure from 1936-1947 was marked by physical plant upgrades as well.

Dr. John T. Williams 1947-1970– b. October 24, 1904 in Minden, Louisiana – d. July 13, 1971 in Salisbury, Maryland. The first

President of Maryland State College as it was now known in the 1947-1948 school year. He served from 1947-1970. He came to us

from Langston University, the University of Cincinnati, and with a Ph.D. from Indiana University. He had previously served at

Kentucky State College in many roles including football and basketball coach in addition to higher academic functions. His tenure

was marked by sweeping changes felt across campus in facilities, enrollment, faculty and finally, recognition. Additionally, he

brought many important speakers to campus like Eleanor Roosevelt, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Thurgood Marshall, and Adam

Clayton Powell.

This era too was marked by Williams’ personal choice for football coach Vernon “Skip” McCain and the overwhelming successes he

brought to our Hawk football team. It became a football powerhouse and one of the most notable historically black college football

programs in the country, sending a record number of five players turned pro to Super Bowl III.

In the 1960’s, Dr. Williams struggled against a backdrop of the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights movement. With rising tensions and

student unrest over living and learning conditions, due to in part unequal government funding, he stepped aside.

Dr. Howard Emery Wright 1970-1971– From 1970-1971 he served as Acting Chancellor. He had previously served as Dean of

Maryland State College from 1967-1970. He had the full support of administration, faculty and staff to provide a smooth transition

of office after President Williams’ departure.

Dr. Archie L. Buffkins 1971-1975– Chancellor of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore from 1971-1975. He was a composer,

author and administrator. He stood alone against other HBCU’s who wanted to keep their institutions for African Americans only. Dr.

Buffkins wanted a multiracial institution with mutual respect for all people and cultures. He is also known for developing the

cultural and performing arts on campus. During his tenure, the Ella Fitzgerald Center for the Performing Arts was completed with

Ms. Fitzgerald herself as the guest of honor at its dedication ceremony. After his five years of service he left to take upper level

administrative positions with the University of Maryland College Park, The Kennedy Center, and Maryland Public Television.

Dr. William P. Hytche 1975-1996– Is considered the tenth president of this institution, serving us well from 1975-1996. After earning

an honorable discharge from the Army and having been recognized as “Most Outstanding Administrator” for his unit, he proceeded

to earn his master’s and doctorate degrees from Oklahoma State University. He arrived here in 1960 when the institution was still

known as Maryland State College, as a mathematics instructor. He quickly rose through many positions such as Chairman of the

Department of Mathematics and Computer Science and Dean of Student Affairs. He became acting Chancellor in 1975 and then after

an extensive national search by the Board of Regents he was named Chancellor. In 1988, his title changed to President of the

University of Maryland Eastern Shore. Under his leadership, the university tripled in student enrollment and added an additional 305

acres of land. There was a campus-wide utilities upgrade and other major facilities improvements as well as new construction. Over

30 academic programs from undergraduate through doctoral level were added under his leadership. He was appointed by President

George H.W. Bush to serve on the President’s Board of Advisors on Historically Black Colleges and Universities. He also served as co-

chair of the USDA/1890 Task Force and was chair of the Council of 1890 Presidents/Chancellors from 1985-1990. He received too

many awards to list here during his lifetime. He also has several articles and books to his credit, including a history of our University

titled Polishing the Diamond.

Dr. Dolores M.R. Spikes 1997-2001– Assumed the role of President of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore in January of 1997

until September of 2001. She had previously served as President of the Southern University and A&M College System. With that

appointment she held the distinction of being the first woman head of a Louisiana public college or university.

Dr. Jackie P. Thomas 2001-2002-- appointed an interim president by the University System of Maryland Board of Regents. He had

previously been a professor of English at UMES, Chairman of the department of English and Modern Languages, executive assistant

to the president, associate vice president for academic/student affairs, and executive vice president. He then accepted this new role

until the next president was selected in 2002.

Dr. Thelma B. Thompson 2002-2011– Began her tenure at UMES in 2002 retiring on August 15th of 2011. Dr. Thompson earned all

her degrees from Howard University and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa honors society and graduated cum laude. Prior to coming

here, she taught at Bowie State University, Howard University and the City University of New York to name several. She has also

functioned as a Dean and a vice president for academic affairs. Her primary focus at UMES has been on accreditation and she and

her team have earned it for 25 academic programs. She has led UMES to consistently earn U.S. News & World Report’s ranking as

one of the country’s best historically black institutions. One of her last big achievements was securing a doctoral program in

Pharmacy. Student enrollment increased by 25% and fundraising and grant earning increased incrementally.

Scope and Contents of the Collection

The Records of the President’s Office include documents from the tenures of Pezavia O’Connell, John T. Williams, Howard E. Wright,

Archie L. Buffkins, William P. Hytche, Dolores M.R. Spikes, Jackie P. Thomas, and Thelma B. Thompson. The information on the

remaining Presidents is merely photocopies of information taken from other sources and as such is located in the vertical file. Dating

from 1898 to 2011, the records and other materials found within this collection include correspondence, reports, minutes,

biographies and obituaries, newspaper clippings, speeches, publications, and legal documents. As presidents, they oversaw the

administrative and academic functioning of the campus, not just the financial, but also the curricular and capital improvements.

Human relations and student life were important as were extracurricular activities such as sports. Community relations, especially

during times of racial unrest in Princess Anne played an important part in the records of these presidents.

Series 3: Howard E. Wright, 1970-1971 (49 items)

This small series reflects the short tenure of Dr. Wright on this campus. It contains an employment application, an annual report and

a speech. It is noteworthy that the annual report was written by him while he was still acting as Dean of the College at the end of Dr.

John T. Williams’ presidency. His “Opening Address” sheds light on how he feels about becoming Acting Chancellor.

Series 4: Archie L. Buffkins, 1971-1975, (.50 linear feet)

The Archie Buffkins series contains mostly correspondence, memoranda and several reports. The correspondence features two

folders with dialogue concerning a cooperative education program with Salisbury State College. The memoranda highlights include a

memo to the Chancellor distributed to the UMES community. It chastised Dr. Buffkins for ignoring traditionally “Black” styles of

entertainment such as the Blues and other types of Soul music. Instead he is accused of replacing it with Classical music. A final bone

of contention is listed as the appointment of a non-Black faculty member to coordinate Black Heritage Week activities. His quest for

mutual respect among all peoples was not an easy one. There are several other tense memoranda regarding other topics including

his resignation in 1975.

This series features the records of Dr. William P. Hytche. The materials found within the boxes include a lot of correspondence,

reports and speeches. There is a large theme running throughout the records from 1977, that of a proposed merger of UMES and

Salisbury State College (now Salisbury University). These records mostly consist of clippings, publications, reports, speeches, and

transcripts of hearing proceedings. There is an assortment of oral history interview transcripts which Dr. Hytche conducted with

individuals from various locales in Maryland. There is an oral history transcript of Dr. Hytche conducted by Williamson and Spencer

from the Smithsonian Institution. There are event programs spanning the entire period of his presidency. There is a records carton

almost entirely consisting of his speeches at various occasions. Some of the more notable speakers who visited UMES include:

Richard A. Henson – Aviation pioneer, entrepreneur and University donor, the Honorable Parren J. Mitchell, Coy Eklund - Chairman

and Chief Executive Officer of The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, and past president of the National Urban

League, Benjamin F. Payton – President of Tuskegee Institute, Dr. Kenneth D. Kaunda – President of the Republic of Zambia, Bill
