of Technology Board of Governors, the Youngstown College Board of Governors, the Youngstown College Board of Trustees, and
The Youngstown University Board of Trustees). These documents cover the timeframe 1927, when the institution was a "school

Biography of
In 1888, the Youngstown (Ohio) branch of the Young Men's Christian Association began offering evening classes in various subjects
to local residents. In 1908, its Law School began, with a class of nine men. In 192 1, 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 as such 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, YU 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 193 1 through 1955.
YSU Trustees are appointed by the Governor of Ohio, selected from the ranks of community leaders, businessmen, professionals,
and other distinguished local citizens.
Scope and Content
The documents in this collection that cover the period 1927 through 1952 were preserved by James L. Wick, Jr. They include
correspondence, minutes of meetings, legal and foundational documents (such as Youngstown College's "Articles of Incorporation"),
and other items of interest. YMCA documents pertaining to the development of the university are also preserved within the
collection.
Documents covering the time period 1974 through 2003 were maintained by Maag Library, as part of its Closed Reserve Collection.
They consist chiefly of the agendas and minutes of Board of Trustees meetings. The presidencies of John Coffelt, Neil Humphrey,
Leslie Cochran, and David Sweet come to light, as do the evolving priorities of the Board itself.
Note to User
At present, a large gap exists in this collection. Records addressing the time period 1953 through 1973 are currently unavailable.
At the time of this writing, the University Archivist is working to remedy the situation by acquiring copies of these missing
records for inclusion in this compilation. Until such is accomplished, researchers are advised to contact the Office of the
President, where a complete set of Board minutes are maintained.
*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.
