The two historical ships, Ark and Dove, brought the first settlers to Maryland in 1634, where they established the little river port of St. Mary\u2019s City. The honorary society is democratic in its designation of individuals who have given \u201cdistinguished service\u201d (money is not a factor) to the College.
