202 SEMINARIES AND COLLEGES

approximate size of the faculty and to indicate certa
classification of. the teaching staff. :

It is expected that the senior college, when it attains its full’

enrollment of about 380 students, will require a faculty of not lesg:
than twenty full-time men, in addition to the administrative off, ‘
cials already proposed. It is considered probable that a teaching
faculty of at least eight full-time men will be required in the first ©
year of operation and a total of at least fifteen in the second Yeap
of operation. Not all of these need be called; some may be ap.’
pointed to instructorships. Since the exact faculty needs of the @
senior college cannot now be stated, either as to quantity or ag
to kind, it appears to be inescapable that those who will
charged with the responsibility of assembling the faculty, be given
reasonable latitude in the exercise of their powers for a moderate ::
period of time. Consequently it is recommended that Synod ap.
prove the following plan: S

1. The calling, by the subsequently designated agency and E
under the conditions recited later in this section, of not |:
more than five men to the faculty of the senior college and 2
the appointment of not more than five full-time men for
the first year of operation; and the appointment, if necessary,“
of not more than three assistants in addition to the full-time °:
called and appointed men.

2. The addition to the teaching staff, for the second year of
operation, of a number of faculty members not in excess of
the numbers specified for the first year of operation, but
only to the extent that the needs of the senior college
economically justify the additions.

3. The further addition, if necessary, of not more than three ©
called men for the third year of operation, if the synodical::
convention does not occur in the same year as the one in
which the official closing date of the second year of opera-
tion occurs, ev

4. The calling of all men who are called for service in the a
first and second years of operation, to the initial rank of ©
Associate Professor, and the deferment of any advances in’
rank and of any calls to a full professorship until after the
second year of operation. ;

Service Staff

It is impossible to indicate at this time what numbers and -
kinds of service personnel may be needed for maintenance, food °
preparation, and other duties. It can be estimated, however, that .
two full-time clerical assistants will be required by the administra- :
tive staff during the first two years of operation, and authority fot.
the engagement of these, as needed, ‘is suggested. “
