SEMINARIES AND COLLEGES 167

It will apparently be necessary, however, to transfer housing
and some teaching facilities of these two departments to existing
ff-campus quarters or to new construction somewhat removed

In recommending that the Graduate School of Theology and
the School of Missions be separated Physically from the under-
graduate department, the Board believes that a better opportunity
for the full development of the Graduate School and the School
of Missions will be created; at the same time, the vacated space

should begin at the earliest possible date. . e

The Teachers’ Colleges
Apparently no part of the entire problem is more complex than
the attempt to establish the demand which the next three decadés
ill make on our teacher training facilities. In considering this
