92 SEMINARIES AND COLLEGES

1. The present setup has proved profitable to both the High
School and the ministerial school.

2. It has not in any way impaired the efficiency of Synod’s
ministerial education.

3. It has not cut down the number of ministerial candidates
prepared at Fort Wayne.

In view of this situation it would appear to us both reasonable
and God-pleasing

1. To continue the schools under the present arrangement,
which provides for the separate interests of the schools and at the
same time capitalizes on co-operative advantages;

2. To continue to make available to the Lutheran High School
Association such facilities as are not pre-empted by ministerial
education;

3. To grant permission to the Lutheran High School Associa-
tion to erect a building which will provide classroom and office
space and other facilities in order to house the High School
adequately.

Administration of the High School

The College Board of Control has delegated responsibility for
the academic administration of the High School to the Board of
the High School Association. The principal of the High School
therefore is responsible directly to the High School Board. This
relieves the college president of all responsibility for the High
School program except in the case of those High School boys who
are quartered in one of Synod’s dormitories. It is recognized, how-
ever, that Synod’s Board of Control has the ultimate responsibility
for the operation of the total project as long as any joint activities
are conducted on Synod’s campus or units of Synod’s physical plant
are utilized by the High School.

It is also understood that by the beginning of the fall term
of 1947 all cross teaching of students with the exception of health
and physical education by members of the faculty of the college
and members of the faculty of the High School shall have ceased.

Miscellaneous Items

The devotional exercises of our institution were broadcast every
Saturday from 7:30 to 8:00 A.M. over WOWO, the local 10,000-
watt station.

The erection and equipping of the new Service Building will
be completed in the month of June. The total cost of the building
will exceed original estimates because of the increased costs of
labor and materials. The equipment in excess of $10,000 is being
provided by the Martha Society.
