128 SEMINARIES AND COLLEGES

ACTION
Upon recommendation of Committee 1 this revised tabulation
was unanimously adopted:
Resolution 45

Wuereas, The Revised Tabulation of Requests from Colleges
-and Seminaries represents the result of painstaking study ang
research by our Committee, based on the recommendations of the
Board for Higher Education and the personal presentations made
by spokesmen of our colleges and seminaries; therefofe be it

Resolved, That we present this Revised Tabulation of Requests
from Colleges and Seminaries to Synod for approval, with the
specific recommendations:

a) To grant an appropriation of $4,339,883 (totals for Columns
1 to.5, inclusive, in Tabulation A) and $135,117 for a contingency
reserve fund, making a grand total of $4,475,000, in the event that
the Fort Wayne proposal now under consideration by Synod is
accepted and Concordia College is sold; .

b) To grant a total appropriation of $5,539,883 and $160,117
for a contingency reserve fund for a grand total of $5,700,000, in
the event that the Fort Wayne college is not sold, but that the
Junior College is closed. + sas

: Thi i i adding to the sum o 883
(total “for Zale total oe Saive)” the sen of $1,200,000 listed in
Column 1, Tabulation B, and explained by Note 6. It provides for the
unlikely possibility that the decision to sell could not be carried out be-
cause of some foreseen complication and that paragraph 12 on page 69
of “Today’s Business” would become operative; should the Fort Wayne
Concordia eventually be sold to a party other than Indiana Technical
College, Inc., the sum that is realized would reduce to that extent the
budget that Synod is accepting.

c) To recognize the sum of $908,000 in Column 6 (“Building
and Loan Plan”) as an obligation that will be made under the
regulations now existing;

d) To defer the items listed in Column 8 (Total $1,947,500);

e) To decline the items listed under Column 9 (Total
$1,270,000) ; .

f) To authorize the Board of Directors and the Board for
Higher Education to service the granted requests in the following
order: “Projects. Approved in Milwaukee (1950) but not com-
pleted” (Col. 1); “Buildings and Equipment for ‘Seminaries

(Col. 2); “Capacity and Equipment for Teacher-Training Worle
(Col. 3); “Preserve, Modernize, and Fully Utilize Existing 15)
ities” (Col. 4); “Physical Education Facilities Required rer "
subject to the necessary flexibility which Resolution 44 -will allo
if Synod accepts Resolution 44.
