SEMINARIES AND COLLEGES 71

In his work in the parish the well-trained teacher is expected ;
to serve all of the young people of the congregation with their
wide variety of needs and desires. In this area of his duties he
must prepare plays, pageants, and concerts. Training in prepara-
tion for this service can be carried on successfully only if his
interest and ability are stimulated and developed through obser-
vation of, and personal participation in, these activities. This area !
of training should not be curtailed. Opportunity to gain experience
in it should, on the contrary, become more general in the student
body. The need of an Auditorium for the continuance and expan- :
sion of this phase of our work in the broader training of our future
teachers is for this reason brought before you again. ,
Such an Auditorium would also help us to serve our Lutheran ;
constituency more adequately than we are able to do under present i
crowded conditions, thus promoting their good will towards, and ;
support of, Synod’s system of professional training.
We are not at this time reiterating our request for a Chapel,
since we hope to adapt the new Auditorium for this purpose until :
a churchly Chapel can be provided. Our present Chapel is even :
~ more inadequate for our needs than it was in 1947, when we made ;
E the request. 4
Request: We respectfully request the sum of $350,000 for the
4 building of an Auditorium in connection with our Music Building.

E. Remodeling of the Old Music Building at River Forest
as an Addition. to the Administration Building

(Memorial 128) '

The old Music Building at River Forest, completed in 1913 and
long since inadequate for the purpose for which it was built, will
be available for academic and administrational use when the new
Music Building, allowed by the synodical convention of 1947, is
completed. We propose that this building be rehabilitated and in
' part remodeled as a sorely needed addition to our present Admin-
- istration and Classroom Building.

, The rehabilitation will include replastering or otherwise re-
surfacing all of the ceilings and nearly all walls of the building
, with the exception of the auditorium-chapel and the science.
s. laboratories, which have already been taken care of. All interior
