22 he oard of ' Agents IN REPLY to your request that I make a statement for The Pan- dora concerning the Board of Regents, I am sure I cannot do better than to quote you the Declaration of Polic}- which the Board has made. It is as follows : It is the conviction of the Board of Regents that the people of Georgia intended to ordain by the Act creating the Board that the twenty-six institu- tions comprising the University Sys- tem should no longer function as separate, independent, and unrelated entities competing with e ach other for patronage and financial support. The manifest purpose of the Act creating the Board of Regents is to unify and co-ordinate the work of these institutions so that the educa- tional program of each shall be in- tegrated with that of every other institution and with the System as a whole. The result aimed at is a correlated, harmonious, and symmet- rical structure free from wasteful duplications, but providing the max- imum of etlucational opportunity to the students of the State. In short, the emphasis has been shifted from the interests of particular institutions to the interests of the State. While the traditions, the welfare, and the prestige of the several branches of the System will be an ob- ject of care on the part of the Board, all of their problems are to be finally resolved by th. ' answer to the question: What will best serve the educational interests (jf the State as a whole? With this as the paramount consideration, the c .nstant aim of this hod - will be to establish and maintain a system of higher education that will cjmmand the sympathy and support of our educa- tional leaders, and at the same time successfully meet our own needs by offering the oung men and young women of Georgia the maximum of education. To accomplish this result, the Regents will, after a careful study, take such steps that to them seem best to co-ordinate and unify these institutions so that they will be related in purpose and regulated in scope. The only competition in which these schools will hereafter engage will be for preeminence in service and scholarship. The Regents will carry out the plain and manifest purpose and intention of the Plunders of the University, and the continuing purposes of our successive Legislatures since 1785, and by the authority vested in them, will have one administrative head of the entire system in the person of a Chancellor of the University System of Georgia, who will be f-e official head of the entire University System, and report to, and be responsible only to the Board of Regents.
