GOVERNOR BRYANT REVIEWS IMPORTANT DATA CONCERNING FLORIDA ' S EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM AND ITS ACADEMIC STANDING. FARRIS BRYANT Governor, State of Florida Governor Advocates High Academic Goals Governor Farris Bryant is a staunch advocate of improving Florida ' s institutions of higher learning, both by expanded physical plants and adherence to high academic standards. The Governor, who took office in 1961 for a four- year term, holds degrees from the University of Florida and Harvard, attended Emory and was given an honorary doctorate by Florida Southern. He has met frequently with the State Board of Control, the presidents of the state universities and has enter- tained student leaders from those universities. The Governor ' s position on the future of Florida ' s educational institutions is reflected in this comment he made for the TALLY HO: Florida State and the other state universities should not be compared with other southern institutions but with the finest in the nation. Until we compare favorably with all, public or private, colleges and universities, and assume leadership by our academic standing, we will not be satisfied.
