of University. :

COLLEGE PARK, Md, June 30.
Today the Maryland state College OF
Agriculture passed out Of existence.
so far as its name is concerned. and
will enter upon its new history as
the University Of Maryland. -
The change from college to uni
versity will be enected quietly. and
the celebration will be delayed until
the arrival Of the student body in
the fall, when appropriate exercises
will be held.
It is probable the first improve
ment which the new University OF
Maryland will witness will be at the
athletic field. College Park, ior when
the Alumni Association OF the Mary
land State College will raise $4,000.
Headed by NJ E. Tydings, Havre de
Grace. president Of the association.
the alumni already are at work on
subscriptions toward tie fund: otner
improvements next year Will con-
sist of more buildings. for which
President Woods has an appropriation
of 100000 available next spring.
Speaking of the consolidation OF
the two institutions and the probable
changes which will be made. Dr.
Woods says:
Of Maryland with the Maryland state
college of Agriculture. gives the
state an educational organization
modelled along the standard lines set
by the United States bureau of edu-
cation and other high educational au-
thorities. The merger turns over the
entire property of the University of
Maryland to the board Of trustees
of the Maryland State College and
makes the board of trustees OF the
Maryland State College the board Of
regents Of the new university: Head
quarters of the university will be at
College Park, and the administration
of the Maryland State College is to
be continued as the executive au.
thority Of the new University OF
Maryland.
'"The acquisition OF the medical and
law schools. in Baltimore. does not
AFFECT the educational organization of
the state College. The present agri-
cultural Organization will be re-
tanned in it's entirety. and its further
development will not in any way be
hindered"

: Among Those Protesting
9 Fare Rate Raise.

BALTIMORE, June 30 (SpeciaD.-
The testimony of Maj. William r.
Scott. morale officer at Camp Meade,
was in the nature of a bombshell at
the opening session yesterday after
neon before the public service com
mission of the hearing on the applica-
tion of the Washington. Baltimore and
Annapolis electric railroad for an in
crease in rates.
Maj. Scott. who was the first of the
protestants called, asked to be consid-
cred the personal representative of
Gen. HutcheSon, commanding officer at
the camp. and the officers and men.
He opened with severe criticism of
the management and service of the
railroad at Camp Meade. He stated
that in 1918 he recalled having seen
hundreds of men in line at the station
at the camp, some of them even in
tears as result of their inability to
obtain passage on trains to Washing
ton and Baltimore. He also stated that
the records told of men who were sent
TO the guardhouse as a result of their
inability to return to the camp because
of the service from both cities.
Alleges Discrimination.
Maj. Scott also claimed that dis
elimination was shown against SOL
6iers, and that he himself had seen
cases where employees of the company
had charged them as high as a dollar
