Culpepper, Gert Schmidt, John Pace, Board of Control With the addition of a new state school at Boca Raton, the state of Florida requires a control to efficiently regulate the many universities ' activi- ties. Such a control is in existence with its central office in Tallahassee. The Board of Control plans the educational programs and physical facilities of the five state universities. The members have the authority to approve budgets, to improve programs of instruction for the schools, to recom- mend the construction of additional buildings and facilities, and to plan the forming of new universities. Two major duties of the BOC are to report to the Florida Legislature on the financial status of the universities and to nominate deans of newly organized colleges in state schools. This efficient committee is comprised of eight business or professional men appointed by the Gov- ernor and approved by the state Senate. These men are chosen from eight different counties with the exception of the counties in which the several state universities are located. DR. J. B. CULPEPPER Executive Director BAYAM. HARRISON Choi SIX MEMBERS of the Board of Control meet to discuss pending problems of state institutions. 17 I.

Governor Bryant Governor Farris Bryant No generation in Florida ' s history has stepped forward to assume its role in the continued growth and progress of the State with more opportunities and problems than yours. Today, as the Florida State University seniors approach their major step into society, the State is in the throes of its great- est growth and expansion. Florida soon will be eighth in size in the fifty states of this nation, and our great flood of population will add many times over to our need for solid, informed, and dedicated young citizens to move into positions of leadership in all fields. I challenge you to see that our State moves forward on all fronts. Do not let your State and your fellow citizens fear to act when the action is called for. Do not be afraid to take new and unpre- cedented courses if old ones prove inadequate or insufficient. Do not hide behind traditions that might stifle Florida ' s growth. With all the eager- ness of youth, do not ignore the experienced minds and talents of those who have preceded you. Make the best use of Florida ' s resources and add to them. We are in a revolution of progress. Take the weapons of learning you have acquired at Florida State University and join with those already in the field to capture this revolution for your individual and the common good. Continue to add to your ar- senal through every means available to you. Governor Bryant
