192 SEMINARIES AND COLLEGES

and responsible direction and control of a staff of synodi-

cally called and appointed officers, would attend a Lu-

theran University whose academic facilities are provided
by Valparaiso University.

c. The Division of Administrative Service. This division
would be organized into two sections.

a) The Office of the Registrar. This office would be ad-
ministered by Valparaiso University. Conceivably, it
might require no more than a competent clerk re-
sponsible immediately to the resident Dean of Stu-
dents. Either directly or through the Dean of Instruc-
tion this office would have charge of all admissions,
registration routines, and transfers of credit. It should
be agreed that this office would confine its admissions
exclusively to applicants certified to it by the Dean of
Students, but that admission after certification would
be controlled by the policies of Valparaiso University.
It would also be the duty of the office of the Registrar,
subject to the approval of the Dean of Instruction, to
certify the eligibility of students for the Bachelor’s
Degree.

b) The Office of the Business Manager. It is proposed
that this office be in charge of a synodically appointed
officer who would administer the business affairs of
both the Ministerial School and the Teachers Sem-
inary, and who would be immediately responsible to
the President of the Teachers Seminary.

3. The Teachers College would be continued as a Teachers
Seminary, but its high school would be completely eliminated. Its
meal, library, and recreational facilities would serve all students in
both the Ministerial School and the Teachers Seminary. However,
it is suggested that no joint use be made of classroom or other
additional facilities, and that no extra-curricular activities be jointly
undertaken without the detailed approval of the Board for Higher
Education.

4, Operating costs would be borne as follows:

a. Synod would bear all costs of building construction, of
equipment, of maintenance, and of student guidance.

b. Valparaiso University would bear all costs of instruction
and registration, but would be reimbursed for these costs
by Synod at tuition rates per student-credit-hour agreed
upon by Valparaiso University and the Board for Higher
Education.
