List Of Baltimore City College People
Baltimore City College is one of the oldest public high schools in the United States. Since its establishment in 1839, hundreds of Maryland business, civic, and political leaders have passed through its doors on their way to notability. Many graduates have served as members of the federal and state legislature, judges, journalists, leaders in business, politics, and the military. They include three former Governors of Maryland, Nobel Prize, Pulitzer Prize, and Wolf Prize recipients. Of the seven Maryland recipients of the Medal of Honor between World War I and World War II, three are graduates of Baltimore City College. Bridges, buildings, craters, highways, institutions, monuments, and professorships have been named for alumni including the Dryden Flight Research Center, the Governor Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridge, and Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall where City holds its graduation.

“Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“I made a list of things I have
to remember and a list
of things I want to forget,
but I see they are the same list.”
—Linda Pastan (b. 1932)
“The treatment of the incident of the assault upon the sailors of the Baltimore is so conciliatory and friendly that I am of the opinion that there is a good prospect that the differences growing out of that serious affair can now be adjusted upon terms satisfactory to this Government by the usual methods and without special powers from Congress.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“He bends to the order of the seasons, the weather, the soils and crops, as the sails of a ship bend to the wind. He represents continuous hard labor, year in, year out, and small gains. He is a slow person, timed to Nature, and not to city watches. He takes the pace of seasons, plants and chemistry. Nature never hurries: atom by atom, little by little, she achieves her work.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“... when you make it a moral necessity for the young to dabble in all the subjects that the books on the top shelf are written about, you kill two very large birds with one stone: you satisfy precious curiosities, and you make them believe that they know as much about life as people who really know something. If college boys are solemnly advised to listen to lectures on prostitution, they will listen; and who is to blame if some time, in a less moral moment, they profit by their information?”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“I hadn’t an illusion in my handbag
About the people being better there
Than those I left behind. I thought they weren’t.
I thought they couldn’t be. And yet they were.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
