Archives Gold #23: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th
President Hrabowski's Ralph Coats Roe Medal
Special Collections continues our archival project Archives Gold: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th, a special series showcasing 50 different objects that tell the story of UMBC. This week we present the ASME Ralph Coats Roe Medal that current UMBC president Freeman A. Hrabowski was awarded last year.
Ralp Coats Roe Medal, 2015. UARC 2015-24, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD)
In November of 2015, President Hrabowski received the Ralph Coats Roe Medal from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). The ASME is a global engineering community of over 130,000 members, dedicated to the advancement of knowledge and improvement of life through engineering. President Hrabowski received the medal for "his dedicated service as a global advocate for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), engaging the general public, lawmakers, funding agencies and foundations to create opportunities for minorities in STEM fields that will help ensure their future personal and professional success."
To see the medal in person and learn more, visit our exhibit in Special Collections Presidents, Past & Present: A Biographical Portrait which explores the lives and leadership of UMBC's five university presidents and chancellors!

UMBC's first chancellor, Albin O. Kuhn, worked hard to be an active figure in the UMBC community. One way he did this was by participating in a UMBC duckpin bowling league in 1968. The league consisted of various members of the UMBC community including faculty, staff, and their spouses. Chancellor Kuhn and his wife, Libby, can be seen on the above 1968 bowling schedule, under Team 5 and Team 3 respectively.

Presidents, Past & Present: A Biographical Portrait
New UMBC history exhibit in Special Collections
As UMBC celebrates its 50th anniversary, the university has a chance to reflect on its young but textured past. A new exhibit in Special Collections, Presidents, Past & Present: A Biographical Portrait, explores the lives and leadership of UMBC’s five university presidents and chancellors. These hardworking, intelligent men came from various backgrounds and achieved extraordinary success despite some facing tremendous odds. The personality and passions of each of these leaders has seeped into the character of UMBC, creating the diverse, bright, creative and entrepreneurial community that can be seen today. The exhibit includes the Ralph Coats Roe Award gold medal, awarded to Dr. Hrabowski by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 2015.
Presidents, Past & Present is curated by Tucker Foltz, a graduate student in Historical Studies. Materials are from the University Archives and Special Collections department. Exhibit assistance was provided by archivist Lindsey Loeper, and Special Collections student assistants Krystyna Dyadyura, Rakshith Gowda, and Jenn Montooth.
On display in the Special Collections Reading Room, March 1 - April 1, 2016. Available Monday-Friday 1-4pm, Thursday 1-8pm, or by appointment.

Archives Gold #21: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th
Audio Cassette Tapes from UMBC Founders Oral History Project
Special Collections continues our archival project Archives Gold: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th, a special series showcasing 50 different objects that tell the story of UMBC. This week we present a transcript and audio cassette tapes from the UMBC Founders Oral History Project.
UMBC Founders Oral History Project transcript and cassette tapes, 2006. University Archives, Collection 55, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD)
Over the years several oral history projects have been initiated at UMBC. The first, by Dr. Ed Orser, was completed in the mid-1990s to celebrate UMBC's 30th anniversary. In 2006, Joseph Tatarewicz and Barry Lanman began the UMBC Founders Oral History Project in preparation for UMBC's 40th anniversary. Tatarewicz and Lanman interviewed some of the earliest figures on campus including UMBC's first chancellor Albin O. Kuhn, the first dean, founding faculty members, and some of the first students at UMBC.
In one of the early interviews with Albin O. Kuhn, Kuhn discusses the white silo that stands near the entrance to I-95. The silo is one of the oldest structures on the UMBC campus and one of the few reminders of Spring Grove Hospital which was located on the site of the UMBC university from 1867 to the 1960s. When Spring Grove sold the land to make way for UMBC, the campus decided to keep the silo. In his interview, Kuhn speaks of this decision.
"...they were kidding around campus that, calling that the Kuhn Silo because they knew that I had a farm background or an interest in, in fact, farming at the same time I was at UMBC...when they got the road network laid out the silo would not be in the way...and those are fairly heavy concrete things to remove, and I said, "Well, let thing stand. It won't bother anybody and it will be sort of a memory of the fact that this once was used as a farm for the Spring Grove."
-Albin O. Kuhn, interview by Dr. Larry Wilt, 2006, transcript, UMBC Founders Oral History Project, University of Maryland, Baltimore County, Baltimore, MD
