Project 4: Summarize a Preservation Incentive (FINAL PROJECT)
Morgan State University is a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) founded in 1867 as the
Centenary Biblical Institute. In 2017, Morgan State University marked its 150th Anniversary and joined
with eight of the nation’s HBCUs across the country also founded in 1867 in celebrating the largest
founding of HBCUs in a single year.
The significant legacy of Morgan State University and its campus heritage spans 150 years and six
campus locations. Morgan State University has evolved of the 150 years from the Centenary Biblical
Institute (1867), Morgan Academy (1872), Princess Anne Academy (1886) now University of Maryland at
Eastern Shore) in Princess Anne, Maryland, Morgan College (1890), Virginia Collegiate Industrial Institute
in Lynchburg, Virginia (1891), Morgan State College (1939) to Morgan State University (1975),
For half a century, Morgan State University occupied campuses downtown Baltimore, Maryland’s Eastern
Shore and Lynchburg, Virginia, however only the present day campus site survives. In 1917, Morgan
State University purchased and relocated to the Ivy Mill and Farm (present campus site) and celebrated
its centennial at the present campus in 2017 coinciding with the University’s sesquicentennial celebration
of its founding. In 2016, the National Trust for Historic Preservation designated Morgan State University
entire campus as a National Treasure (the only college and university entire campus designated in
America).
You will summarize a preservation incentive as if you are making a presentation to the President of
Morgan State University and the Board of Regents. You need to clearly present the preservation
incentive and the importance of the preservation incentive, particularly as it relates to preserving the
Campus Heritage of Morgan State University for the next 25-50 years. The National Historic Preservation
Act was signed into legislation more than 50 years ago in 1966.
Assume the President and Board of Regents of Morgan State University adopts your recommendations to
utilize the preservation incentive based upon your forward thinking and innovative strategy to ensure the
preservation and relevancy of the historic resource(s).
You should cover the preservation incentives overall purpose, definitions, and operation, then
present a short case study to help your audience grasp its operation and importance to their
work. Use a specific preservation incentive or section of an preservation incentive, keep it fairly specific.
Select an historic resource(s) based on the MSU Campus Documentation and/or the Campus
Preservation Values Survey and incorporate knowledge and skills as acquired from the course.
Remember, you are presenting for a lay public audience, so avoid jargon and provide definitions where
appropriate. As with any presentation, you will need to use appropriate citations and provide a full
bibliography.
FORMAT:
