Anderson, SREB Director. Some of the South's new educa tional programs save money others add to costs, but they share a common goal to im prove higher education, said Dr Anderson. The SREB publication, "More for the Educational Dollar," de scribes ways in which Southern universities have improved thei' programs in an effort to provide optimum returns on approximate ly S870 million spent each year on higher education. Dr. Seymour Harris, professor of political economy at Harvard Graduate School of Public Admin istration, has estimated that by 1970 the nation could save from one to two billion dollars a year in higher education by more ef ficient operations. This would amount to a 10 to 20 per cent reduction in the total cost of higher education.
