flu today, it seems to be going around, and he asked if

2

I would appear here and speak briefly on an item that

University of Maryland.

This whole matter of education is one that I

6

think we all attempt to find a way in which we can dis-

7

charge our responsibilities with a reasonable degree of

8

the same time, the responsiveness or the approach of

10

full inspection, full reviev/ by the people, by the

11

legislature, by all who are concerned with State govern-

12

. ment. Specifically, I would like to talk about the

13

possibility of the Constitution containing authority for

14

the University of Maryland as an institution, authority

15

for its Board of Regents to govern the affairs of the .

16

institution. I would like to say also that I am speak-

17

ing here as a representative of the administration of the

18

university. We would like to submit actually a position

19

paper from the Board of Regents itself and I believe we

20

will be in a position to do that after the March 25th

21

meeting.
