~~ provisions must be made for 60,000 additional College students before
. the Fa11 of 1965, tY:at a total of 121,$00 students will be seeking

4~-III~EAS the six southeastern Counties of Florida, namely St. Lucie,
Pgaxtiny Okeechobee, Hendry, Palm Beach, Broward and Dade now furnish
more than. 33 percent of the Florida students enrolled, and the unprec-
edented growth of these counties may be expected to continue so that
even more th~ri 33 percent may be expected to originate in this area in
1965, and
WHEREAS the facilities of existing Universities, Colleges and Junior
Colleges, public a.nd private; will be whglly inadequate to meet these
1965 requirements, despite maximum plant expansions and extensions,
including proposed quadrupling of the Junior College system, and
WHEREAS the Florida Legislature, in its 1955 Session, authorized the
Board of Control to establish a University in Palm Beach County by
Chap. 30297, and in its 1959 Session appropriated X50,000 for prelimi-
nary planning, and
WHEREAS additional funds will be required to complete sufficiently
detailed plans to adequately support and justify a request for capital
outlay construction funds at the 1961 Sessicn of the Legislature, and
failure to provide such detailed plans at the 1961 Session could result
~~ ~ in a delay of two years in the activation of said University,
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the State Board of Control be, and
