tors who continually work with
such values and think in these
terms.
Our college and university ad-
ministrators, in addition to deal-
ing with academic matters, neces-
sarily devote a great deal of at-
tention to budget problems.
These financial questions have
a direct bearing upon the main-
tenance of academic standards.
They determine what salaries our
Institutions can offer In order to
attract and hold outstanding fac-
ulty members. They also place def-
inite limitations upon the expan-
sion of classroom and laboratory
facilities, dormitories, and other
aspects of physical plant.
That Is why modem educators
can’t be “ivory tower” academi-
cians. They Should be among the
most practical people we have.
It Is why .1 am so optimistic
about a special committee, com-
posed of several presidents and
board members of our State col-
leges, which I appointed early this
month at the request of the Texas
Legislature. This group of 16 out-
standing men has agreed to make
a preliminary study of the prob-
lems of coordinating State-sup-
ported higher education In Texas
and to report Its findings by
April 1.
Thus the advice of the people
who know most about the subject
Is being asked.
The Legislature’s resolution has
empowered the committee to "for-
mulate a plan whereby the role
and scope of each State college
and university may be determined;
whereby ways may be found of In-
creasing the effectiveness and the
economy of a truly Statewide sys-
| tern of higher education, and
which will afford effective means
for coordinating the academic
programs of State colleges and
universities with one another and
with the realistic needs of the
citizens of Texas.”

That Is a big undertaking but
one that grows more urgent every
day.
I have been pressing for the
formation of such a group since
the 52nd Legislature convened In
1951. As I said at that time, we
need to find realistic solutions
that will Involve no crippling of
essential functions and no short-
range token economies that might’
prove to be handicaps later on.
I expressed the same recom-
mendation again when the 53rd
Legislature started its current ses-
sion January 14 and pointed to the
need for “coordinating our pro-
gram of higher education for
greater effectiveness, greater dol-
lar value and improved conditions
for staffs and faculties.”
On January 27 of this year the
heads of our State colleges met In
Austin at my invitation for a spe-
cial conference. They suggested
that a committee with more offi-
cial status might be more effec-
tive. This official committee now
Is In being and In action.
Some of the questions to be
considered In a fair and demo-
cratic fashion are these:
Is Texas spending enough for
higher education?
Is the total amount of money
available for higher education be-
ing distributed properly among
our institutions and among the
branches and divisions of each In-
stitution?
Although it may take some time
to make these determinations, I
am glad that a start has been
made and that a preliminary re-
port Is to be submitted by the
first of April.
I believe that the work of this
joint committee will enable us to
avert the necessity of calling on
the State Board of Education to
comply with an existing statute
that gives the Board the respon-
sibility for deciding what the vari-
ous State colleges should teach.
The committee also can help us
to avoid another undesirable pos-
sibility—that of having to call on
the Legislature to pass laws de-
fining the scope of each Institu-
tion.
Neither laws nor dollars can
guarantee a proper educational
system.
We need Informed opinion, en-
lightened Imagination, and a high
spirit of cooperation.
Ours is not simply a financial
problem, nor Is it only an educa-
tional problem. It Is actually an
important question of public pol-
icy.
The practical situation is that
our State funds are limited and
we must be sure that we are pro
vlding for the young people of
Texas the best education possible
for the money spent.
As our forefathers said 117
years ago In the Texas Declara-
tion of Independence, “It Is an
axiom In political science that, un-
less a people are educated and en-
lightened It Is idle to expect the
continuance of civil liberty, or the
capacity for self-government.’’
