This board was created by constitution amendment for the purpose of coordinating the work of state institutions of Higher Education. The amendment, known as Article XIII-A of the Oklahoma Constitution, provided the necessary ma- chinery to set up a coordinated system of higher education. Without vitalizing legislation, however, this action of the people was useless. So the same year the Regents were authorized, the Eighteenth Oklahoma Legislature enacted necessary laws. These were approved by the Governor on May ll, 1941, just two months after the amendment was adopted at the polls. As was intended, the State Regents have estab- lished standards of admission and graduation of stu- dents, recommended budget allocations to the State Legislature, eliminated unnecessary duplication in upper division program of state schools, made trans- fers of property from one institution to another, and in general increased the efficiency of higher educa- tion in Oklahoma. The Board's two main functions, however, have turned out to be the allocation of funds appropriated by the Legislature, and the adjustment of curriculum problems. llilllill l1llEi!lll'll!?l. l In fulfilling the former duty, the Regents in 1947 gave the University of Oklahoma its largest alloca- tion of funds in history. This was also the largest amount ever assigned to any college or university in the state. Each of the schools in the Oklahoma State System of Higher Education has its own controlling board to supervise the local administration. These local boards coordinate their activities through the state organi- zation. Coupled with administration of educational insti- tutions is the control of certain auxiliary divisions whose programs are not strictly teaching or directly educational in nature, but instead are services to local citizens, business and industry. Two of these organ- izations, the Oklahoma Geological Survey and the University Hospitals in Oklahoma City, have been attached to O. U. for administrative purposes. The State Board is composed of nine members whose nine-year terms are so arranged that one Regent retires each year. Appointments are made by the Governor and approved by the Senate. Besides working as coordinators, the Regents have also become the state's accrediting organization, In order to gain national recognition in this field, they have adopted standards equal if not superior to any in the country.
