The Southern Regional Education Board is active in approximately twenty-five academic fields. It administers the regional education contracts through which states lacking schools in certain fields are able to secure training for their students at institutions operated either by other states or by private corporations. The Board also studies needs and resources in various academic fields and joins with universities in Memoranda of Agreement to plan the development of specific programs on a regional basis. The University of Maryland carries on the administrative work of the Board in Maryland (Code 1957, 1965 Repl. Vol., Art. 41, sees. 185-88).
