6 SEMINARIES AND COLLEGES

Since the last Delegate Synod, KFUO, which is one of our
Church’s missionary agencies, has completed its Forward Mov
ment, which entailed the inauguration of full daytime operatio:
the erection of a tower and antenna system, the installation: ‘o;
a new 5,000-watt transmitter, and the launching of an extensive!
building program. This Movement also necessitated a large in :
crease in the station’s personnel and its current expenses. ._The#s
enlarged and modernized KFUO was dedicated on Sunda
May 21, 1942.

Requests

1. Two questions have arisen in connection with the retirement!
of professors at the Seminary; and the Board of Control asks Syno
to make some ruling if Synod deems it advisable to do so. a

A. Shall a retired professor who is annually re-engaged have",
the right to vote in faculty meetings? :

B. Shall the professor who has been retired but re-engaged :
to do a limited amount of teaching continue to. live on the®

campus, or shall arrangements be made for him to live in smalle
quarters?

2. The Board of Control requests Synod to give Dr. L. Fuer

bringer the honorary title of “President Emeritus of Concordia.
Seminary.”

3. Faculty members and students of the Seminary have re-
peatedly expressed the desire for a chapel on the campus of Con-
cordia Seminary. Since 1926, when the new Seminary was first °
used, devotional services for the faculty and student body_ have -;
been conducted in the Seminary Auditorium, which does not lend »
itself well to this purpose. Students use this Seminary Auditorium.
for their Association’ meetings, ‘their Lyceum programs, chorus :
rehearsals and concerts, and for other social meetings. Therefore “
the Auditorium is not a place sufficiently set apart for private medi-
tation and public worship; and it does not have an atmosphere
conducive: to devotion and prayer. —

A building which would be churchly in its architectural design,
to be used exclusively for private meditation and prayer, and for
devotional services would be sincerely appreciated by the faculty
and students of the Seminary.

Therefore the Board of Control herewith requests Synod to
use a part of the proposed “Thankoffering for Peace” for the erec~
tion of this chapel on the campus of Concordia Seminary as a tan
gible memorial of gratitude to God for His bountiful blessing
