210 SEMINARIES AND COLLEGES

Since it has not proved possible thus far to specify an ideal
location which has evoked a unanimous and enthusiastic respo;
and since there are apparently some real advantages to be gai
by leaving the location question open for the present, the Boarg
for Higher Education recommends:

1. That the final decision on the location of the senior college

be made by the Praesidium of Synod, the District Presj_

dents, the Board of Directors, and the Board for Higher

Education. It is understood that the individuals comprising

the membership of the group listed shall each be entitled

to a vote and that the decision shall be based upon a

majority vote.

. That announcement of the final decision on location shall be
made at some time prior to the general solicitation of funds
for the establishment of the college.

. That the Board for Higher Education be directed
thorized: ,

a. To receive and examine all data and suggestions which
individuals or groups may wish to bring to Synod’s at.
tention in this connection. ;

b. To prepare recommendations and relevant data for the
consideration of the group named in paragraph 1 of these -
recommendations.

Because the previous sections amply illustrate the interde-
cessarily complex adjustments
involved in these recommendations, and because these sections
also illustrate the impracticability of providing Synod at this time
with a detailed specific listing of the Sequence, extent, and cost of
every required action, the Board for Higher Education recommends:
