Morgan is Maryland's designated public urban university and the largest HBCU in the state of Maryland. In 1890, the... institution changed its name to honor the Reverend Lyttleton Morgan, the first chairman of its Board of Trustees, who donated land to the college. Though it is a public institution, Morgan is not a part of the University System of Maryland; the school opted out of becoming a part of the system and possesses its own governing Board of Regents. Morgan was founded in 1867 as the Centenary Biblical Institute, a Methodist Episcopal seminary, to train young men in the ministry. At the time of his death, Thomas Kelso, co-founder and president of the board of directors, endowed the Male Free School and Colored Institute through a legacy of his estate. It later broadened its mission to educate both men and women as teachers.
