The Governor, with the consent of the Senate, appoints nine Regents
for a term of nine years from the first Monday in June.

The first appointments were made in 1916 for terms of 1, 2, 3,4, 5,
6, 7, 8 and 9 years, and as these terms expire a successor is appointed
for a full term of nine years. (Ch. 872, 1916.)

This Board of Regents displaces the old Board of Trustees of the
Maryland State College.

Under Chapter 480, Acts 1920, the old University of Maryland was,
on July 1, 1920, consolidated with the Maryland State College, under
the former name.
