THE Boarp ror Hicuer Epucation Henry GrueEseEr, Chairman O. P. Kretzmann, Secretary Epcar BUENGER Wa ter GASt Water GOETSCH S. J. Rotx Martin WALKER Martin J. Nees, Executive Secretary ACTION Concerning these recommendations, Committee 1 submitted F. two resolutions, which were adopted: Resolution 38 . Wuereas, Our Church has long maintained a program designed =. to provide for the needs of students in its educational institu- tions; and Wuereas, It has become obvious after a detailed study that areas of weakness have developed which hamper the successful execution of this program; and Wuereas, There is reason to believe that all Districts (tradi- tionally the program is carried on at District level) would welcome suggestions to adjust the program to meet present-day conditions; therefore be it Resolved, 1. That at an early opportunity, preferably at a time when it is meeting with its Advisory Council (college presidents), the Board for Higher Education invite the District Aid officers to confer on these and other proposals for the improvement and co-ordination of all student assistance efforts; 2. That the costs of any such conference be shared, so that the Districts will defray the transportation expenses of their represen- tatives, while the Board for Higher Education is authorized to charge room and board costs to its budget for special conferences as provided in Handbook Section 6.13 (new). Nore.— We call attention to the fact that “Recommended Organiza- tion” (page 311) and “Recommended Policies” (page 311) would form the basis for discussions at thé meeting authorized in this resolution.
