More from the Maryland State Archives:
In commemoration of Francis Scott Key's "Star Spangled Banner," a centennial celebration was held the week of September 6-13, 1914 in Baltimore. This celebration was the suggestion of Mayor James H. Preston who believed that the formation of such a national organization could promote patriotism by emphasizing the flag. During the interval of the centennial, the first meeting of the National Star Spangled Banner Centennial Commission was held to draft a catechism relative to the flag.
