Description: Vintage McDonogh School Gold Tone Cuff Links. Marked Amson?. Measures a little over 1/2" across. The school was established near Baltimore , Maryland in 1873 and funded by the estate of John McDonogh , a former Baltimore resident, who died in 1850. The other half of the McDonogh estate was used to fund over thirty public schools in New Orleans , Louisiana , where McDonogh lived and worked.Documents in the archives of McDonogh School include letters from his former slaves thanking John McDonogh (prior to 1850) for his program giving slaves the opportunity to work to buy their freedom and transportation back to Africa.McDonogh was established as an all-white, semi-military school for orphan boys, who worked on the farm in exchange for their studies, room, and board. Tuition students arrived in 1922, and daily commuting students in 1927. The first African-American student was admitted in 1959. In 1971, the military traditions of the school were discontinued. The school became coeducational in 1975. Full and partial McDonogh scholarships continue to this day. LocU1 Track Page Views With Auctiva's FREE Counter
