institutions be removed from the educational budget assigned to the
Board for Higher Education and listed in the budget assigned to
the Board for Home Missions in North and South America.

Resolution 60

The educational institutions outside of North America are
guided and supervised either by one of Synod’s Mission Boards or
by the Board of Directors. Consequently the Board for Higher
Education has no direct relationship to the educational institutions
outside of North America. The Board for Higher Education states
that it lacks adequate background information to be of substantial
help in questions affecting teaching personnel and in establishing
curricula for educational institutions outside of North America
even if such a request would be made.

It is also plain to Committee 1 that the present staff of the
Board for Higher Education lacks time to enter upon such an
extension of its activities. Nevertheless, we believe it to be of
value for the church at large if at least some type of informal
contact be maintained between the Board for Higher Education
and all educational institutions of Synod, wherever they may be
located. It is for this reason that we offer the following resolution:

To suggest to the various Mission Boards of Synod and to the
Board of Directors to avail themselves of the good services of the
Board for Higher Education, in whatever degree this service is
obtainable, in matters where teaching personnel and curricula of
educational institutions outside of North America come into con-

sideration. ACTION

These two resolutions presented by Committee 1 were adopted
by Synod.

Rename the Board for Higher Education

Wuereas, The present name of the Board for Higher Education
does not accurately describe its true functions; and

Wuereas, It has been maintained that this misleading name
acts as a deterrent in Synod-wide promotion; and

Wuereas, The preparation of all professional church workers is
a responsibility of the entire Synod; be it therefore

Resolved, That the name of the Board be changed to Board of
Professional Training, and that its responsibility include all semi-
naries, colleges, and high schools owned and operated by Synod
and engaged in the preparation of pastors, teachers, and mis-

sionaries. Yorx-Sewarp REGIONAL CONFERENCE
