Biographical History
In 1888, the Youngstown, Ohio branch of the Young Men's Christian Association began offering evening classes on various subjects to local residents. In 1908, its Law School began, with a class of nine men. In 1921, the Youngstown Association School was officially designated the "Youngstown Institute of Technology," but was frequently referred to as "Youngstown College," an appellation that would not become official until the Institute was formally renamed in 1928. Youngstown College came to be administered by Dr. Howard W. Jones, who served as president from 1935 through 1966, by which time Youngstown College had become Youngstown University. One year later, in 1967, Youngstown University would become a public institution of higher education and would be renamed Youngstown State University. Jones was selected for the job by the College's Board of Governors, which was composed of local corporate executives and individuals from other professions. Chief among them was James L. Wick, Jr., who served as the Chairman of the Youngstown College Board of Trustees from 1931 through 1955. Youngstown State University Trustees are appointed by the Governor of Ohio. They are selected from the ranks of community leaders, businessmen, professionals, and other distinguished local citizens.
To avoid confusion with the YMCA's Trustees, to whom it was subordinate, the Youngstown College Board was officially styled as the "Board of Governors." Sometimes, its members were referred to as trustees; however, when the institution became independent of the YMCA in 1944, the appellation "Board of Governors" became obsolete and the term "Board of Trustees" finally came into official usage.
