DR. H. C. BYRD

PRESIDENT, UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND

Dr. H. C. (Curley) Byrd, President of the University of Maryland,

owns a distinction that no other college President can claim. He is the only

President to ever play for, then coach, then become President of his alma

mater.

While a student on the College Park campus, Dr. Byrd quarterbacked

the Terp teams 1905-1907. He also was a pitcher on the baseball teams as

well as a sprinter on the track team.

In his 25 years of head coaching, 1912-34, he compiled a 114-81-15 record. Since becoming President, Dr. Byrd concentrated his efforts to make

Maryland one of the world's foremost educational institutions. That goal has

been attained and even today, through his exhaustive efforts, the University

is still growing, not only at home but in far reaching corners of the world. Too, his program called for a first class athletic curriculum. The 1953

season marks the fourth year that the Terps' new stadium, one that bears

Dr. Byrd's name, will be used. His latest effort in giving Maryland a most

A adequate athletic plant is now being built.

Physical Activities Building,

which will seat 17,000 spectators for indoor events, as well ao house the

Physical Education Department's program, is expected to be completed by-

next September.

Dr. Byrd's untiring individual efforts for Maryland places him among

-- -- the nation's outstanding educators. 2
