Book excerpt: Excerpt from Towson State College Bulletin: Graduate Studies 1970-1971; December, 1970 Towson State College, the oldest and largest of Maryland's public col Ieges, traces its history back to 1865 when the General Assembly of Maryland established a state-wide public school system. The first state teacher training institution was the Maryland State Normal School which in 1935 became the State Teachers College at Towson. In 1963 the name Towson State College was adopted. Formally Opened in Baltimore on January 15, 1866, the Normal School was, for many years, the only institution devoted exclusively to the preparation of teachers for the public schools of Maryland. The School occupied three different locations in the City of Baltimore before moving to its present suburban location in 1915. In 1946 the arts and sciences program was introduced at Towson. Begin ning as a two-year transfer program, it was extended to a four-year, degree granting program in 1960. In 1963 the College was authorized, by action of the Legislature, to expand its offerings in the arts and sciences while maintaining a strong program in teacher education and to change its name from State Teachers College at Towson to Towson State College. In 1966 the College completed 100 years of service to the State, having graduated more than students during its first century.
