The University of Massachusetts Boston is a public research university in Boston, Massachusetts. It is the third-largest campus in the five-campus University of Massachusetts system. Students are from Massachusetts but some are from other parts of the U. S. or different countries. The University of Massachusetts system dates back to the founding of Massachusetts Agricultural College under the Morrill Land-Grant Acts in 1863. However, prior to the founding of UMass Boston, the Amherst campus was the only public, comprehensive university in the state; as late as the 1950s, Massachusetts ranked at or near the bottom in public funding per capita for higher education, proposals to expand the University of Massachusetts into Boston was opposed both by faculty and administrators at the Amherst campus and by the private colleges and universities in Boston. In 1962, the Massachusetts General Court expanded the University of Massachusetts system for the first time to Worcester, Massachusetts with the creation of the University of Massachusetts Medical School.

In 1963, UMass President John W. Lederle informed the General Court that more than 1,200 graduates of Boston area high schools qualified to attend the University of Massachusetts were denied admission to the Amherst campus due to lack of space, despite opposition from the Amherst campus, endorsed expanding the UMass system with a commuter campus in Boston. At the time, there were 12,000 freshman applications to the University of Massachusetts in Amherst with only 2,600 slots, yet the majority of the applicants lived in the Greater Boston area. In 1964, Massachusetts Senate President Maurice A. Donahue and State Senator George Kenneally introduced a bill to establish a Boston campus for the UMass system, with Majority Leader of the Massachusetts House of Representatives Robert H. Quinn co-sponsoring the House bill, the Massachusetts AFL–CIO endorsing the legislation; the bill was opposed by several private colleges and universities in the Boston area, including Northeastern University, Boston University, Boston College, as well as from Boston State College, the only public institution of higher education in the city.

However, the Huntington Avenue building of Boston State College could not be expanded to accommodate a 15,000-student campus, the local news media and public opinion favored creating the new Boston campus for the UMass system. On June 16, 1964, with a $200,000 appropriation, the legislation establishing the University of Massachusetts Boston was passed by the Massachusetts General Court and signed into law two days by Massachusetts Governor Endicott Peabody. UMass President John W. Lederle began recruiting freshmen students and administrative staff for the fall semester of 1965, appointed his assistant at the Amherst campus, John W. Ryan, as UMass Boston's first chancellor. Ryan recruited tenured faculty members from the Amherst campus to relocate and form the UMass Boston faculty, appointed Amherst's history professor Paul Gagnon and Amherst's provost and biology professor Arthur Gentile to hire the humanities and natural science faculty members respectively. One faculty member that made the move was historian Robert M. Berdahl.

Gagnon, with the assistance of Harvard University sociologist David Riesman recruited junior faculty members through recommendations of graduate students by the department chairs of Ivy League and other prestigious private universities in the Boston area. Serving as the new university's first provost, Gagnon became the most important faculty member in defining the curriculum and academic focus of the university, saying in June 1965 that "The first aim of the University of Massachusetts at Boston must be to build a university in the ancient tradition of Western civilization... Along with creating a university in the great Western tradition, we must make it public and urban in all that these words imply in 1965."Gagnon would be the principal architect of the university's attempt to create a Great Books program called the "Coordinated Freshman Year English-History Program", which prompted criticism and opposition from younger faculty members in the English and History Departments, from faculty in the social and natural sciences, students, that led to its requirements being diluted and the program dismantled by the end of the 1960s.

Freshman classes started for 1,240 undergraduate students in September 1965 at a renovated building located at 100 Arlington Street in the Park Square area of Downtown Boston the headquarters of the Boston Gas Company. The entire entering class were residents of Massachusetts, with the great majority living in the Greater Boston area and one-fourth living in the city of Boston itself. By the fall of 1968, the number of applications to UMass Boston for the fall semester had risen from 2,500 for fall 1965 to 5,700, total enrollment had risen to 3,600. In the late 1960s, UMass Boston students on average were 23 years old white and male, working part- or full-time, either married or living with others in an apartment. U

According to Georgette Cline from The Boombox "Moving away from the R&B that speaks of heartbreak and betrayal, Aaliyah's vocals shined on the lead single from her debut LP,'Age Ain't Nothing But a Number,' as she sang of hitting the dancefloor and getting lost in the DJ's tunes". In a review for Aaliyah's debut album "Age Ain't Nothing But a Number" Tonya Pendleton from The Washington Post praised Aaliyah vocals on the song saying, "Aaliyah’s silken voice caresses the beat, which swings rhythmically through “Back and Forth,” one of this summer's street anthems".
