orderly manner, it is recommended that the office of Librarian be
established, at least at the outset, as a full-time office, to be fille i
by a trained Lutheran librarian able to appreciate and intelligently
to serve the bibliographical needs of the institution. The Libraria
may be appointed or called as circumstances suggest. He shall’ %
expected to consult with, and to receive recommendations from
the faculty, but shall be responsible directly to the President’
all matters.
The Instructional Staff

This critically important sector of the organization of ’
senior college cannot possibly be planned in a completely definiti
manner until the details of the senior college curriculum ha
been fully developed. Neverthelss it is feasible to anticipate the
approximate size of the faculty and to indicate certain major
classification of the teaching staff. .

It-is expected that the senior college, when it attains its
enrollment of about 380 students, will require a faculty of not:
than twenty full-time men, in addition to the administrative offi
cials already proposed. It is considered probable that a tea
faculty of at least eight full-time men will be required in the.

_ year of operation and a total of at least fifteen in the second y
of operation. Not all of these need be called; some may be
pointed to instructorships. Since the exact faculty needs of thi
senior college cannot now be stated, either as to quantity or <
to kind, it appears to be inescapable that those who will be.
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 aps;
prove the following plan:

1. The calling, by the subsequently designated agency an
under the conditions recited later in this section, of not.
more than five men to the faculty of the senior college an
the appointment of not more than five full-time men fo
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.
The addition to the teaching staff, for the second year:'o
operation, of a number of faculty members not in excess ‘6;
the numbers specified for the first year of operation, bii
only to the extent that the needs of the senior - colle
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, 4
