TODAY IN HISTORY
Settlement of Maryland
The first colonists to Maryland arrive at St. Clement’s Island on Maryland’s western shore and found the settlement of St. Mary’s.
In 1632, King Charles I of England granted a charter to George Calvert, the first Lord Baltimore, yielding him proprietary rights to a region east of the Potomac River in exchange for a share of the income derived from the land. The territory was named Maryland in honor of Henrietta Maria, the queen consort of Charles I. Before settlement began, George Calvert died and was succeeded by his son Cecilius, who sought to establish Maryland as a haven for Roman Catholics persecuted in England. In March 1634, the first English settlers—a carefully selected group of Catholics and Protestants—arrived at St. Clement’s Island aboard the Ark and the Dove.
Religious conflict was strong in ensuing years as the American Puritans, growing more numerous in Maryland and supported by Puritans in England, set out to revoke the religious freedoms guaranteed in the founding of the colony. In 1649, Maryland Governor William Stone responded by passing an act ensuring religious liberty and justice to all who believed in Jesus Christ. In 1654, however, the so-called Toleration Act was repealed after Puritans seized control of the colony, leading to a brief civil war that ended with Lord Baltimore losing control of propriety rights over Maryland in March 1655.
Although the Calverts later regained control of Maryland, anti-Catholic activity persisted until the 19th century, when many Catholic immigrants to America chose Baltimore as their home and helped enact laws to protect their free practice of religion.

Women’s History Month
March is Women’s History Month. Women’s History Month is an annual observance to highlight the contributions of women to events in history and contemporary society. Celebrated during March in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, corresponding with International Women’s Day on March 8, it is observed during October in Canada, corresponding with the celebration of Persons Day on October 18. The Education Task Force of the Sonoma Couty Commission on the Status of Women in California started Women’s History Month in 1978. In 1980 President Jiimmy Carter issued a proclamation for National Women’s History Week in March. In 1987, Congrees passed legistation to make March Women’s History Month and the president issues a proclamation each year.
Everyday we will highlight a woman that has done extraordinary things to uplift not just women but everyone in the world. Whether it is an invention or entertainment, we will spotlight women who are not just heroes but Sheroes!
Spotlight: Alice Ball
Alice Ball was a Black chemist who developed the first effective treatment for leprosy in the early 20th century. Born in 1892 in Seattle, Washington, she became the first Black person and the first woman to earn a master’s degree in chemistry from the University of Hawaii. Ball’s groundbreaking work involved creating a water-soluble form of chaulmoogra oil, which previously could not be effectively administered to leprosy patients. Her method, known as the “Ball Method,” was used for decades until the development of sulfone drugs in the 1940s. Tragically, Ball died at the young age of 24, and her contributions were not fully recognized until many years later.
As the Office of Admission gears up for Spring admissions, we’d like to remind you about our exciting Bring-a-Buddy program. A number of cadets have already taken advantage of this program to recommend their friends to the Academy. If you a refer a friend to Army and Navy Academy, you’ll receive a $1000 credit at the Bookstore when he successfully enrolls. That’s a lot of Takis!
Please contact the Office of Admission up the stairs from the Mess Hall if you have any questions about this program.
