The Board The history of Morgan's progress is the history of good boards of Trustees. of men serving selflessly, tirelessly to build the type of college which any people might be proud of. The present Board members continue in the great tradition of dedicated service established by their predecessors. and with the same high caliber, insightful leadership characteristic of the past. Board members are appointed by the Governor of Maryland. They serve without pay, working long hours in the interest of the College. The chairman of the first Board was the Reverend Dr. Lyltleton F. Morgan, who began some 23 years of service as a Trustee in 1867. It was Dr. Morgan's munificence which in 1890 made it possible for the College to otter for the first time a baccalaureate curriculum. In gratitude the Trustees adopted Dr. Morganis name as the school's. The Reverend Dr. John F. Gaucher, long-time Board member and successor to Dr. Morgan as chairman, donated a lot at the corner of Fulton and Edmondson Avenues, where in 1880 a new building was constructed to house the College. Dr. Gaucher has been followed by the Reverend Dr. Charles W. Baldwin, Judge Morris W. Soper, and Dr. Carl J. Murphy as Board chairman.
