Chapter 41, Acts of 1963 established the
Board of Trustees of the State Colleges to
direct and manage the four-year public col-
leges of the State. Chapter 917, Acts of

the Board of Trustees of the State Universi-
ties and Colleges, designated the University
of Baltimore as an upper division academic |
institution, and redesignated Towson State
College as Towson State University contin-
gent upon that institution meeting the cri-
teria for name-change established by the
