JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Holdings of Regents of the University System.

- State is equitable and beneficial owner of all property now vested in Regents of the University System of Georgia, and the corporation by that name is the holder only of legal title; but it does not follow that the corporation may not enter into any contract which in its reasonable discretion is necessary for the usefulness of the institution, or may not incur liabilities in its own name for that purpose. Being a distinct legal entity, any such liability would be a debt of the corporation and not a debt of the state. State v. Regents of Univ. Sys., 179 Ga. 210, 175 S.E. 567 (1934).
