Campus History

The Making of a ‘Normal School’

巴黎人官方登录的故事始于一个需要帮助的州. In 1921, 一项研究表明，马里兰州现有的高等教育基础设施无法充分满足该州农村地区对教师的需求. The next year, 马里兰州立法机构试图通过在该州最偏远的东部沿海地区建立一所新的“师范学校”(一所面向小学教师的两年制大学)来弥补这一不足.

一个委员会巴黎人官方登录附近选择了一个地点，于1923年破土动工. 在首任校长，前索尔兹伯里高中校长. William J. 1925年9月7日，新的州立师范学校霍洛威分校开业，当时有105名学生. They learned, 吃饭和睡觉都在一栋楼里(现在的霍洛威大厅)，甚至在早期的“示范学校”里教年轻的学生.”

More Than Just Teachers

Within a decade, “师范学校”这个说法已经过时了，1934年，校园被重新命名为马里兰州师范学院. By then, 学生和教师的活动已经超出了一般的课堂活动, having established an athletic association, school orchestra and the Sophanes theatre club. In 1931, 两年的教学课程变成了三年的计划, and in 1935, 杰斐逊·布莱克威尔总统获得了一项新的四年课程的批准，该课程以文科为重点, offering the Bachelor of Science for the first time.

在1947年和1960年进行了进一步的学术扩张, 随着越来越多的四年文科和理科课程的开设. 1962年，马里兰大学董事会批准开设硕士课程. During this era, the campus also expanded physically, with the addition of the first men’s dormitory, Wicomico Hall, in 1951; a stand-alone demonstration school (later Caruthers Hall) in 1955; Blackwell Library (now Blackwell Hall) in 1957; and the college’s first gymnasium in 1961.

Rise of the Sea Gulls

随着它的学术课程已经扩展到教师教育之外, the campus was renamed again in 1963, becoming Salisbury State College (SSC). In 1948, 学生们在一次学生自治协会比赛中选择了“金海鸥”(通常简称为“海鸥”)作为学校的吉祥物. With the campus’ new name, the mascot also received an upgrade, 借用“SSC”的最后一个字母成为“海鸥”.1966年，它被一幅肌肉发达的海鸥漫画人格化. 到了20世纪70年代，这个角色将被称为萨米海鸥.

That decade became a golden era for the campus, 在此期间，建立了许多今天仍然享有的项目和设施. 其中包括几个大学运动队，校园广播电台， The Flyer student newspaper and the SSC (now SU) Foundation, Inc. 该学院在60年代和70年代也继续发展壮大, with additions including a new science building, Devilbiss Hall, in 1967; its first co-ed residence hall, Choptank Hall, in 1972; East Campus athletic fields in 1976; and Maggs Physical Activities Center in 1977.

Endowing a Legacy on the Eastern Shore

20世纪80年代，随着荣誉项目的不断发展，学校重视学术，并与附近的马里兰大学东岸分校建立了新的合作伙伴关系. 慈善支持的浪潮支持了这些倡议，并建立了富兰克林P. Perdue School of Business in 1986, Richard A. 1988年，查尔斯R. and Martha N. Fulton School of Liberal Arts in 1989. The Samuel W. and Marilyn C. 1997年，塞德尔教育与专业研究学院紧随其后.

With these new schools, SSC became more than just a college, 1988年该校再次更名为索尔兹伯里州立大学. 曲棍球队在1986年赢得了校园第一个NCAA三级团体冠军, 在接下来的三十年甚至更长时间里，为20多个曲棍球和男女长曲棍球铺平了道路. 20世纪80年代和90年代给这所大学带来了其他机会, as well, 成立了学生研究会议(SU还两次主办了全国本科生研究会议), Student Entrepreneurship Competitions, Sea Gull Century bicycle ride, Edward H. Nabb Research Center for Delmarva History and Culture, and Delmarva Public Radio; new buildings including the University Center (now Guerrieri Student Union) in 1988 and Fulton Hall in 1992; and affiliations with organizations such as the Salisbury Symphony Orchestra and Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art.

Looking Toward the Future

2001年，该校正式更名为巴黎人官方登录. 自1988年以来一直是马里兰大学系统的一员, SU has continued to expand its academic offerings, as well as its physical footprint. This century, new buildings such as Henson Science Hall, Conway Hall, Perdue Hall, Sea Gull Square, Sea Gull Stadium and the Patricia R. Guerrieri Academic Commons改变了索尔兹伯里的天际线. At the same time, 新举措帮助州立大学成为可持续发展和公众参与方面的全国领导者, while a focus on areas such as diversity, study abroad and student life has opened doors for many.

In 2012, SU began its first doctoral program, the Doctor of Nursing Practice, followed by a doctorate in education in 2014. 州立大学荣誉学院成立于2016年，更名为格伦达查塔姆和罗伯特G. 克拉克荣誉学院将于2020年成立，以纪念其赞助人. 健康与人类服务学院成立于2018年，是为了满足劳动力需求. Today, over 8,来自30多个州和60多个国家的700名学生在拥有90多座建筑和200多英亩的校园里学习40多个本科和近20个研究生学位课程. 州立大学一直被评为全国顶尖大学之一 U.S. News & World Report, The Princeton Review and others.

1925年，第一批105名学生在校园唯一的建筑里上了第一堂课, SU has grown vastly in size, stature and reputation. Just as it has throughout its history, however, 这所大学继续适应学生的新需求, the community, and the state and nation as a whole.
