Board of Regents The Board of Regents is the newly appointed board which is to replace the old Board of Control system in the state ' s university program. The new board was appointed by Governor Haydon Burns. The dut- ies of the BOR will be very much like those of the former Board of Control. They will advise Governor Burns and the state Legisla+ure on such things as the financial position of the universities and suggest new programs that will improve both the educational system and the physical facilities of the schools. The new board consists of ten members from throughout the state. Board of Control Since the new system has been introduced, the Board of Control is no longer in operation. The purpose of the members was to plan educational programs and physical facilities of the five universities. The members had the authority to approve budgets, to improve programs of instruction for the schools, to recommend the construction of additional buildings and facilities, and to plan the forming of new univer- sities throughout the state. The major duties of the BOC were to report to the Florida Legislature on the financial status of the universities and to nominate deans of schools. 27 BOARD OF CONTROL: Seated, Chairman Baya M. Harrison. Standing, left to right; James Lawrence King, Chester E. Whittle, Dr. Wayne C. McCall, Gert H. W. Schmidt, John C. Pace, Dr. Charles R. Forman. Dr. J. Broward Culpepper, Executive Director.
