Requests

x first request is to grant us immediately two more
sors. When in 1950 Crespo College was closed and the col-
lasses added to our Seminary, we were instructed to engage
ecessary instructors for the time being, in order to give time
adjustment. The adjustment has taken place. Fifty per cent
ie faculty today consists of instructors. The two instructors
