SEMINARIES AND COLLEGES 231

D. The construction of the curriculum with the aid of a
special technical committee (including, of course, repre-
sentation from the St. Louis seminary) appointed by the
Board for Higher Education. It is proposed that the
Board for Higher Education be empowered to develop
the initial curriculum of the senior college and to intro-
duce the curriculum, but that it be required to submit
the curriculum for approval to the next synodical con-
vention following the official opening of the senior college.

E. The major administrative and operational plans and the
major organizational arrangements within the institution.
It is proposed that for the period during which the
interim-appointed local Board of Control is in office all
significant plans and contemplated organizational ar-
rangements be submitted by the President to the Board
for Higher Education for approval before such plans or
arrangements are initiated or in any way implemented.
The detail to which this provision should be carried out
should be left to the discretion of the Board for Higher
Education.

Higher Education, the Board of Directors, and the local

Board of Control as outlined in the immediately preceding

Section (1) be considered to be in effect immediately upon

enrolls its first entering class. At that time the Board for

Higher Education shall be expected to recommend subse-

quent control arrangements. :

A. Elections.— It is recommended that the election and.
calling of the President, of the Dean of Men, and of all
called members of the faculty be performed in the man-

the period extending from the approval of this recom-
mendation by the convention of 1950 through the first
three years of actual operation of the senior college, the
Electors shall be augmented by one additional member
of the Board for Higher Education with one vote; and
with the further exception that the Vice-President of
Synod who is a member of the temporary Board of Con-
trol of the senior college shall also have one vote.

B. Appointments.—It is proposed that for the period of
time designated in the immediately preceding Sec-
