Handbook Section 6.11

‘Concurring in a request from the Board of Directors that the
triennial convocation of all faculty members be deferred until some
future date because the treasuries of Synod were low, the Board
for Higher Education did not convene the synodical faculties during
the year 1949. It is recognized that this action is not in accord with
the provisions of Handbook Section 6.11; it was dictated, however

conformity with its responsibility for a balanced budget and also &
by the fact that the very extensive preparations for reorganization #
and for the introduction of the senior college made it necessary to g
have more than the planned number of meetings with the Advisory
Council (college presidents) and also with a national committee 4
appointed by the President of Synod. ¥

In view of the fact that prevailing conditions ought to dictate
the time, the frequency, and the type of such meetings, your Board 4
recommends that the following words be deleted from Section 6.11:

“during the year preceding the triennial convention of Synod”;

Your Board recommends further that the following. words be
inserted in Section 6.11 in place of the deletion: ‘

“when, in its judgment, the welfare of Synod’s educational 4
work requires such meetings.”
