The Employees' Retirement System was established by Chapter 377,
Acts of 1941, to provide a plan of retirement for, and administer
pensions to, retired State employees. The System is directed by a
board of seven trustees, four of whom are ex officio; of the other
three, one is appointed by the Board of Public Works for a four-year
term, and two are elected for four-year terms by the State employees
who are members of the Retirement System. Not included within the
Retirement System are the faculty members of the State teachers'
colleges, Morgan State College, and the University of Maryland, who
are members of the Teachers' Retirement System; the uniformed per-
sonnel of the Maryland State Police, who have their own retirement
plan; and certain other groups of State employees as defined by law
