By virtue of a constitutional provii sion, implemented by various legislative enactments,2 the state of Florida is committed to thepolicy of providing separate but impartial provisions for the education of white persons and of Negroes. This discussion is an attempt to describe the educational facilities provided at public expense for whites and for Negroes in the realm of higher education, to disclose the extent to which the provisions made are, or are not, in reality, impartial, and to determine, if possible, if the trend is towards or away from equality. It shall be concerned, for the most part, with public institutions, although some consideration of private institutions is essential to a complete evaluation of present pro,visions. Answers to the following questions are sought: (1) What provisions, public and private, are made for the higher and professional education of white persons and of Negroes?; (2) What are some of the outstanding needs for Negro higher and professional education; (3) To what extent, if any, have the higher and professional educational opportunities increased proportionately, since 192930, in relation to those provided for whites?; and (4) What provisions can be made which might result in wider opportunities in the area of higher and professional education for Negroes?
