St. Mary’s College of Maryland 2 0 12 Annual Report
The 1840 Society In 1840, the Maryland legislature authorized a state-wide lottery to finance the construction of a public, non-denominational boarding seminary in St. Mary’s City. In 1992, St. Mary’s College of Maryland, a residential liberal arts institution, was named the state’s public honors college. While our status as a public trust and our promise of public education – affordable to all and thriving on diversity and high standards of academic excellence – stem from distinctive legislative origins, it is philanthropy that sustains our commitment to a legacy of affordability and educational rigor. The 1840 Society recognizes leaders whose annual financial support not only transforms opportunities for students and faculty, but also plays a significant part in St. Mary’s growth, success, and unique place in higher education. Within the 1840 Society, there are five levels of giving. Monument Circle $25,000+ As Maryland’s “living monument” to the historical significance of the colonial capital – St. Mary’s City – the school exemplifies an ethos of toleration. The “Freedom of Conscience” statue not only symbolizes St. Mary’s founding and guiding principles, but also the luminaries who support the school’s mission. Donors at this level have created, for example, four-year scholarships, lighting the way for students with financial need – the institution’s highest funding priority. Horseshoe Bend Circle $10,000-$24,999 The St. Mary’s River has been integral to campus since the days when students traveled by steamboat. As the campus physically envelops the river, the water enriches the lives of all who study and teach here. Donors at this level have enhanced the distinctive living and learning environment that makes St. Mary’s unique.
Pine Tree Hill Circle $5,000-$9,999 The vista from above St. John’s Pond provides vantage points to the past – the first archaeological dig on the college campus was carried out here in 1967 – and to the horizon. Donors at this level have ensured new opportunities, including the resources for students to carry out St. Mary’s Projects. The outcomes of these research projects or creative expressions in the arts transcend the college’s boundaries and have implications in their respective fields. Willow Oak Circle $2,500-$4,999 The magnificent tree growing in the Garden of Remembrance symbolizes nurture and knowledge. Donors at this level have provided, for instance, assistance grants and hope to students who are financially struggling to complete their St. Mary’s degrees. Bell Tower Circle $1,000-$2,499 Dedicated in 1980, the memorial carillon stands as a tribute to St. Mary’s devoted leaders and supporters. Donors at this level have strengthened programs, including academic, student life, and athletic programs, that are essential to a residential campus.

Joseph and Kathleen Garner Endowed Scholarship Fund Scholarships help enable learning that is a mix of traditional study and unique experiences for students. Established by Joe ’74 and Kathy Garner, the Joseph and Kathleen Garner Endowed Scholarship Fund recognizes that financial need not only stands in the way of access to education, but also to co-curricular dimensions such as international study and internships. “The Garners clearly understand that the best education takes place both in and out of the classroom, and they generously removed the impediments that keep students from exploring all their options. By removing worries about student debt and the extra expenses incurred by pursuing internships and studying abroad, they are giving a lucky recipient life-changing opportunities. The College has already launched a recruitment plan to promote this wonderful award to students and families at St. Mary’s Ryken High School, which we expect will generate a bumper crop of outstanding candidates. Not only will the Garner Scholarship dramatically alter a student’s life, but it is also strengthening and enriching the relationship between two fine schools.” – Pat Goldsmith, dean of admissions and financial aid
