shall be appointed. a

d. If an existing educational plant is to be adapted to senior
college use, every effort shall be made to have it in*
readiness for occupancy and use by August 1, 1954. If;
on the other hand, a new plant is to be constructed, its

ability of the plant. In any event the procedure for elec~
tion and appointment shall be initiated immediately after
the appointment of the local Board of Control. It is
understood that the beginning of the active duty of the:
administrative officers should be adjusted to circum-:
stances and the needs of the institution.

f. That Synod expect all students who would otherwise’
enter the seminary in St.Louis at the time when the
senior college is prepared to begin its operations, to enter
the senior college instead of the seminary.

g. That Synod recognize that the introduction of the senior
college will materially affect the operation of the seminary
in St. Louis with the removal from it of one year of in-
struction. This change will raise problems of curriculum,
faculty, and budget adjustments within the seminary. In
large measure these problems can be anticipated only in
their broadest features. It is recommended therefore that
the Board for Higher Education be authorized and
directed, in conjunction with the seminary, to work out
the necessary adjustments in a manner which will mini-
mize confusion and inconvenience to the institution and to
individuals. It is understood, of course, that the security
of the call will not be qualified.

8. That the Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of
the Board for Higher Education, be authorized and directed
to release the necessary funds to projects which were orig-
inally listed in the “Building for Tomorrow” collection, to
reorganization projects, and to projects approved by this
convention as a result of requests made under the provisions
of Handbook Section 6.147. Such projects are to be under-
taken only if, as, and when the necessary funds are avail-
able.
