Memorial Chapel is a non-denominational building on the campus of the University of Maryland, College Park, constructed to honor those associated with the university who had lost their lives serving in the United States Armed Forces.〔(UMD Chapel Homepage, ''About''. ) Retrieved 2010-6-15.〕 The building, designed by Henry Powell Hopkins, actually is made up of three chapels: the Main Chapel, the West Chapel, and the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament.〔(UMD Conferences and Visitors Services, Campus Attractions. ) Retrieved 2010-6-15.〕 A Vietnam Veterans Memorial was constructed on the Chapel grounds in 1988.〔(UMD Chapel Homepage, ''Veterans Memorial''. ) Retrieved 2010-6-15.〕〔(UMD Conferences and Visitors Services, Campus Tour Guide. ) Retrieved 2010-6-15.〕 The steeple of the Chapel is the highest point on campus.〔
==History==
In 1946, the university's Board of Regents approved the construction of the chapel, after four students presented a petition of 1,348 signatures to the Board for the construction of an interdenominational place of worship on campus. In 1948, it was decided that the building would be dedicated to veterans of World War I and World War II. The building's dedication took place on October 12, 1952, with then-Maryland Governor Theodore McKeldin delivering the dedication address. Alumni donations led to a restoration in the 1980s,〔(Memorial Chapel | University of Maryland ). Chapel.umd.edu.

For the first 40-plus years of the Chapel's existence, the Memorial Chapel carillon rang out Maryland's state song, "Maryland, My Maryland." On April 21, 1999, however, the carillon began to play the University of Maryland alma mater "Hail! Alma Mater." The carillon has continued to chime out the alma mater before noon daily. The Class of 1992's Senior Class Gift was a refurbishment of the carillon.〔(Traditions at The University of Maryland ). Umd.edu. Retrieved on 2011-03-04.〕
