The Southern Regional Education Board operates under terms of
the Southern Regional Education Compact of 1949, which the legis-
latures of Maryland and fifteen other states have ratified. Its pur-
pose is to help develop graduate, professional, and technical educa-
tion in the South through interstate cooperation to achieve programs
of high caliber without unnecessary duplication. The Southern Re-
gional Education Board is active in approximately twenty-five aca-
demic fields. It administers the regional education contracts through
which states lacking schools in certain fields are able to secure train-
ing for their students at institutions operated either by other states
or by private corporations. The Southern Regional Education Board
also studies needs and resources in various academic fields and joins
with universities in Memoranda of Agreement to plan the develop-
ment of specific programs on a regional basis. The Administrative
work of the Southern Regional Board in Maryland is carried on by
the University of Maryland (Code 1951, 1957 supp., Art. 41, secs.
160A-160D). The state is represented on the Southern Regional
Education Board by the Governor and four other persons appointed
by him.
