1925 Chesapeake Bay Report Card

The 1925 Chesapeake Bay Report Card was produced to celebrate the UMCES Centennial. Inspired by 1920s design, this report card offers a glimpse of what a Chesapeake Bay Report Card might have been like in 1925, when UMCES was founded. The state of the Bay in 1925 is not an accurate scientific assessment, but an estimation based on informed opinions and broad historical generalizations. The document is meant to highlight the region's history, including the founding of the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory by Dr. Reginald Truitt, and show how things have changed for the Chesapeake Bay and watershed in the last 100 years.
