indicates that a complete complex of buildings, including faculty
residences and adequate equipment, will approximate the following
(cost of land would be additional):

If some units are not considered necessary for immediate use,
the total cost would be modified accordingly. It may well be also
that Synod would not wish to follow the tradition of constructing
faculty housing.

In addition to the capital investments indicated, the annual
operating cost of the fully developed senior college will approx-
imate $200,000. ,

; Enabling Resolution

Because the previous sections amply illustrate the interde-
pendence of the large number of necessarily 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:

a. That Synod convey to its Board for Higher Education what-

ever authority is required to execute the senior college plan,
or any sections of it, which are approved by the convention.

b. That Synod convey to its Board for Higher Education au-

thority to complete the adjustments which are required to
integrate and articulate the preparatory system of colleges
and the theological seminaries into the extended system of
ministerial training which: is automatically authorized in
section (a) of this resolution.

ec. That Synod’s Board of Directors and the Fiscal Conference

be directed and authorized to make available the funds re-
quired to execute these résolutions.

d. That in any and all actions which the Board for Higher

Education undertakes in carrying out these resolutions, the
