The philosophy of public higher education underlying the planning and coordination of higher education institutions in Ohio is set forth. A master plan based on this philosophy proposes to establish technical institutes, additional community colleges and university branches, convert some municipal universities into state universities and develop new state universities. Proposed financial support to implement the master plan is listed in terms of support per student and allocation of construction funds by institution. The appendices summarize the 1966-67 data regarding student enrollment and income-expenditure for the municipal universities, community colleges and state universities. (HH)
