A century ago, visitors to UMD could enjoy a day of cow and horse shows, sheep-shearing demonstrations and egg-throwing contests. They can still enjoy many of those activities at Ag Day, long since incorporated into Maryland Day. This April, the event will celebrate 100 years of spotlighting College of Agriculture and Natural Resources students’ work with livestock and honoring UMD’s roots as the Maryland Agricultural College. To commemorate the milestone, Terp found this bovine beaut from Ag Day 1994. Do you recognize any of these smiling dairy queens? Share your memories at terpfeedback@umd.edu, and find the responses in the next issue alongside another unique snapshot of UMD history.
