Higher Education

The chairman introduced Dr. Robert Schnabel, presi-
dent of Valparaiso University, who brought greetings to
the convention.

Committee 6 presented Res. 6-03A (TB 272), calling for
adoption of the recommendations of the President’s Com-
mission on Synodical Higher Education. An additional re-
solve was accepted, to be placed between the two resolves
printed on page 272, which states:

Resolved,That Section II, subsection E 4, be modified
by the reaffirmation of the present practice requiring prior
approval of faculty and professional staff by the Board for
Higher Education Services so that subsection E 4 would
read: “That the Board of Regents participate fully in the
procedure for the selection and regular review of the presi-
dent of the institution and of other major administrators,
approve of the appointment of faculty members who meet
the qualifications of their positions and have received prior
approval by the Board for Higher Education Services, ap-
prove sabbatical and study leave, and encourage faculty
development and research.”

Res. 6-03A was then adopted.

Res. 6-07 (TB 167), ratifying board actions regarding
closure of St. John’s and St. Paul’s Colleges, was adopted.

Res. 6-09 (TB 168), to give thanks to God for the bless-
ings of St. John’s College, Winfield, Kans., was adopted by
standing and singing the common doxology, led by St.
John’s alumnus President Ralph Bohimann. The chairman
introduced Dr. Erich E. Helge, president of St. John’s Col-
lege. Dr. Helge expressed his thanks and appreciation for
the power of the Word of God shared by many friends,
which helped ease the pain involved in the closing of St.
John’s College. He also thanked the church for the many
new fields of service opened to faculty members of St.
John’s College. President Helge pleaded that the closing
of St. John’s College lead all of Synod to strive ever harder
to support the Synod’s system of higher education. He said
St. John’s College has been “Alive in Christ,” and through
its alumni will continue to be “Alive in Christ” many years
