The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Board of Regents
In 1923 when Stephen F. Austin State Teachers College opened, the governing body for Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ and other state colleges, such as those at Huntville, Commerce, and San Marcus, was the State Board of Regents.
In 1969, Governor Preston Smith signed a bill giving university status to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ, Sam Houston, Southwest Texas, Sul Ross, and Angelo State. Later the same year, the legislature approved a separate Board of Regents for Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ. The nine member original panel appointed by Governor Smith were: Harold Bates, Douglas Bergman, Joe Bob Golden, Roy Maness, R.E. McGee, James I. Perkins, Sam Tanner, Lera Thomas, and Walter Todd.
