JUNIOR COLLEGE AT PORTLAND, OREG.
(Memorial 135)

Wuereas, The students graduating from our Portland Academy
must travel a great distance to continue their studies at some junior
college of our Synod, entailing considerable expense for their
parents; and

Wuereas, Our new Academy is now equipped to accommodate
the students enrolled for a longer period of time; and

Wuergas, The continued increasing population of the Pacific
Northwest and the greater interest in higher education demands
a course in education beyond the high school level; and

Wuereas, Our nearest junior college at Oakland is now already
overcrowded; and

Wuereas, With co-education established at our Portland Acad-
emy, many of the young ladies of our District would welcome the
opportunity of acquiring such higher education at an institution of
our Church; therefore be it

Resolved, That we respectfully petition the General Synod to
establish a junior college in connection with our Portland Academy.
