CHAPTER 397
(Senate Bill 550)

AN ACT to authorize the creation of a State debt in the aggregate
amount of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000), for
the purpose of aiding in the construction of a science laboratory
building on the campus of Loyola College in Baltimore, subject to
the requirements that the said college on or before January 1,
1961, shall have obtained elsewhere at least an equal and matching

sum for the same purposes.

Whereas, Loyola College of Baltimore, Maryland, is one of the
oldest institutions of higher learning in the State with a long and
distinguished history dating from 1852; and

Whereas, Loyola College urgently needs an adequate and enlarged
science building to provide for the needs of its students; and

Whereas, the present welfare and protection of our country and
State demand a renewed and expanded interest in scientific educa-
tion; and

Whereas, Loyola College has received no prior State assistance, as
hate other private educational institutions of this State; and

Whereas, it is considered that State-aid to private institutions,
which relieve the burden on State institutions, is an economical
means of fulfilling the State's obligation to provide higher education,
now, therefore,

Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland,
That the Board of Public Works is hereby authorized and directed
to issue a State loan to be known as the "Loyola College Loan of
1959", in the aggregate sum of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($750,000).
