University of Maryland Monarchist Party
The University of Maryland's political group referred to itself as the Monarchist Party. It had the same goals as FSU's party, but it started much earlier. The actually organization date is uncertain, but some sources put it starting as far back as 1969 or possibly 1972. This seems to be the start date of the Markland Medieval Mercenary Militia and there is some evidence that Monarchist Party split from the Militia to make sure it would continue to get funded by the Student Government Association. It was not until 1985 that they got elected, and at that point they won the top slot by taking the Student Body Presidency. This first elected student king was King Tom II, AKA Tom Cooper, now a police officer in the DC area. Also serving in the first court were Queen Virginia, Lord High Chancellor Duke Sir Paul, and Chancellor of Exchequer Prince Jim.

Famous quotes containing the words university of, university and/or party:
“It is in the nature of allegory, as opposed to symbolism, to beg the question of absolute reality. The allegorist avails himself of a formal correspondence between “ideas” and “things,” both of which he assumes as given; he need not inquire whether either sphere is “real” or whether, in the final analysis, reality consists in their interaction.”
—Charles, Jr. Feidelson, U.S. educator, critic. Symbolism and American Literature, ch. 1, University of Chicago Press (1953)
“The exquisite art of idleness, one of the most important things that any University can teach.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“When anyone apologizes to us he has to do it very expertly: otherwise we might easily come to see ourselves as the guilty party and experience unpleasant feelings.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
