Public Ivy in Maryland

St. Mary's College of Maryland is the state's public honors college. Its campus is on the St. Mary's River near the Chesapeake Bay, where two ships from England, the Ark and the Dove, landed in 1634 with settlers for the new colony of Mary's Land. The college sailing team is ranked number one in the country.
