UMD Notecard Assortment
#AST-126 - Notecards
Assortment includes four each of the two images described below.
Memorial Chapel
College Park, Maryland
#NC-01260-ED - Notecards
#PR-01260-ED - Open Edition Print

The Memorial Chapel, a non-denominational church built in 1952, is the center of religious activity at the University of Maryland. Although activities in the Chapel need not be religious in nature, they must all pay respect to the integrity of a place of worship.

Commencement ceremonies, weddings, convocations, memorial services and concerts are held in three chapels within the building. The Main Chapel accommodates 700 people; the West Chapel, 100 people. The Blessed Sacrament Chapel, limited to 40 people, is reserved for Catholic services.

The Memorial Chapel carillon tolls hourly, rotating between "Hail! Alma Mater" and "Maryland, My Maryland," the state song. Refurbished through a gift of the Class of 1992, the carillon chimes may be operated either manually or electronically.

Testudo the Terrapin
College Park, Maryland
#NC-01261-ED - Notecards
#PR-01261-ED - Open Edition Print

Created in 1933, Testudo, the official mascot of the University of Maryland, was produced at cost by Edwin C. Mayo, a former quarterback for the university. During the unveiling, the canvas covering the sculpture was tied to the live terrapin used as the model. As the smaller terrapin struggled forward, Testudo was revealed for the first time.

Originally perched in front of Ritchie Coliseum, Testudo was vandalized and kidnapped by rival schools on several occasions. After being hidden in a carpentry shed from 1947 to 1951, he was relocated to a new perch in front of Byrd Stadium. In the 1960s, students uprooted the 1,000 pound bronze mascot from his stadium pedestal and carefully carried him to a central location in front of McKelden Library, where he continues to preside over campus. His nose has become increasingly shiny over the years, the result of students rubbing it for good luck.
