Abstract

The records consist of the Board of Trustees of the State Universities and Colleges of Maryland’s minutes from 1960 to 1987. This collection also contains correspondence and documents shared between Salisbury State College and the Board, as well as meeting materials from various schools and businesses in Washington D.C and Maryland that date from 1969-1979.

Administrative History

The earliest Maryland State teachers college was founded privately in 1865 in Baltimore to train African-American teachers. It later became a State institution, moved to Bowie, and assumed the name Bowie State University. In 1866, the first public teachers college formed as the Maryland State Normal School, now Towson University. State Normal School no. 2, now Frostburg State University, followed in 1898. In 1900, the Baltimore City School Board laid the foundation for what would become Coppin State University. The first normal school on the Eastern Shore opened in 1925 and now bears the name Salisbury University. In 1963, these five former teachers colleges were brought together under the direction of a single governing body: the Board of Trustees of the State Universities and Colleges. In 1975, the University of Baltimore, privately founded fifty years earlier, joined the campuses governed by the Board. The University of Maryland System was created in 1988 through the merger of campuses and components of the University of Maryland with those formerly under the Board of Trustees of the State Universities and Colleges. In 1997, the System was renamed the University System of Maryland.
