====St. John's College====
[[St. John's College (Annapolis/Santa Fe)|St. John's College]] is a non-sectarian private college that was once supported by the state. It was opened in 1789 as the successor of King William's School, which was founded by an act of the Maryland legislature in 1696 and was opened in 1701. Its principal building, McDowell Hall, was originally to be the governor's mansion; although £4,000 was appropriated to build it in 1742, it was not completed until after the War of Independence.<ref name="EB1911" /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.stjohnscollege.edu/about/history.shtml|title=A Brief History of St. John's College|publisher=St. John's College|access-date=January 29, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131005200302/http://www.stjohnscollege.edu/about/history.shtml|archive-date=October 5, 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref>
