Gordo President Blackwell Florida State University has been guided toward the goal of being one of the greater universities in America. One of the most exceptional leaders for this quest has been Dr. Gordon Blackwell. His de- termination and devotion to FSU has brought about higher standards for both the faculty and the stu- dents. The whole student body knows what a great loss Dr. Blackwell will be to our campus. With honest interest, he has worked with the students with such organizations as Campus Chest. Dr. Blackwell has shown his concern for the student body through the Student Advisory Council made up of student leaders. Meeting in his home monthly, Dr. Blackwell and the students exchanged ideas and information concerning the student body and the administration. FSU is proud to have had such a distinguished man as president. PRESIDENT GORDON BLACKWELL Ph.

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.
