UMBC was celebrating its first Spring Week (a celebration that would later be known as Quadmania) with a Saturday night dance, featuring well-known musician Otis Redding and his orchestra. Tickets were $5 for UMBC students and $7 for all other students.

In 2001, UMBC held a Sweetheart Swing, a Valentine's Day celebration and dance to honor UMBC couples who had met and fell in love at UMBC. The dance was hosted by UMBC alumni couples, including Bob and Mimi (Haw) Dietrich who were both part of UMBC's first graduating class in 1970 and one of the first couples to meet on the UMBC campus and later marry. Activities of the celebration included swing dance lessons, a DJ, dancing, door prizes, and a buffet dinner.

Special Collections has a great photo collection you have to see for yourself. With over 400 panoramic Cirkut negatives ranging in content from Fort Meade and industrial sights around Baltimore to group portraits of Boumi Temple members and Red Cross nurses, the Hughes Company Cirkut Negatives collection has something for everyone to enjoy. The photographs were taken using a Cirkut camera, patented in 1904 by William J. Johnston and used to capture landscapes and group portraits. Cirkut cameras revolved on an axis and exposed sections of a film roll at the same time as the camera rotated. The negatives range in length from 20 inches to 100 inches, and can be exceptionally detailed. The assorted collection spans 15 boxes and features industrial plants, military units, city skylines, company picnics, panoramic views, schools, churches, city and town life in Maryland between 1916 to the mid-1940s.



Images in the collection depict a variety of locations from factory construction sites to group portraits. Many of the negatives capture the whimsical elements of daily life. Can you spot the pigs in the negative of the Liberty Yeast Co. Plant above? Or the jolly man sitting a few people over from the man who looks incredibly angry in the negative below?



Other topics include baseball games, several Maryland schools, and fleets of ice cream trucks with slogans such as “on your way take home a brick.” While the slogan seems bizarre to us, during this period ice cream was sold in half gallon rectangular tubs therefore they became known as bricks of ice cream.  


Come see these negatives and more in Special Collections. The Special Collections Department is located at the far end of the Library Gallery, and is open Monday through Friday 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm with extended hours on Thursday from 4:00 to  8:00 pm.

This post was written by Special Collections intern Madison Meyer. Special Collections student assistants Graham Johnson, Rashmi Fegade, Rakshith Gowda, and Flora Kirk worked with Madison to measure and describe the Hughes Company Cirkut Negatives. Graduate Assistant Sarah Houston and Madison photographed the negatives and stitched the images together to make the seamless panoramic positive images seen in this post. Madison is currently working on creating a finding aid to the collection.

Parking has been a common complaint at UMBC since the campus was first opened in 1966. Early issues of The Retriever describe similar parking problems to what students face today: a lack of parking space, frequent parking tickets, and congested traffic. One of the most frequent complaints by students was about the limited amount of white spaces (those reserved for students) and seemingly abundant amount of yellow spaces (those reserved for faculty). By 1976, parking spaces of any kind were hard to come by, with an open letter in The Retriever stating that there were a mere 3,500 spaces available for over 6,500 cars registered.

This week we present the very first publication of The Retriever (then known as UMBC News) in 1966. 


UMBC News, Volume 1, Number 1, September 19, 1966. UPUB- R4 University Publications, University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD) 

The first issue of UMBC's student newspaper was published on September 19, 1966, the first day of classes for the new UMBC university. First known as UMBC News, the newspaper's name would later change to include the school's mascot, the Retriever, becoming known as The Retriever Weekly, and later, simply The Retriever. The first issue of UMBC's newspaper contained many of the early activities and traditions of UMBC. Articles featured such things like the history of the UMBC site, the first social event of the university (an informal dance in the cafeteria), the initiation of a Student Government Association, the search for the school's mascot, and a spotlight on the campus' new faculty. 

Since its first issue, the UMBC newspaper has continued to publish issues each year, having only stopped once in 1970 for a short span of time due to conflicts with the SGA and difficulties with funding.
