(Memorial 131)

Wuereas, Our Synod has learned by experience the need of
physical education in our ministerial schools; and

Wuereas, A planned program of physical education under the
leadership of a competent physical education instructor at each of
our preparatory schools is under recommendation; and

Wuereas, Our Synod has seen fit to plan to build gymnasiums
at St. Louis, Mo., and at Springfield, Ill; and

Wuereas, It is very important that our ministerial students have
gymnasiums in their formative years before they get to our sem-
inaries; and

Wuerras, We in the Northwest, Minnesota in particular, have
privately collected approximately $200,000 for the partial cost of
a gymnasium; therefore be it

Resolved, That we petition General Synod to appropriate
$200,000 for the Lutheran Memorial Center at St.Paul, Minn., to
be used, together with the funds already collected and pledged,
for the erection of said gymnasium.
