ction Necessary to Extend the Teacher-Training Program
‘Board recommends adoption of the plan suggested un-
heading “Proposals for a More Adequate Supply of Women

; ai 3” (Memorials, p. 150), with the understanding that changes

distments in minor detail be made wherever desirable or
gapemary by joint representation of the colleges and the Board.
‘ i. The Board further recommends that the junior colleges
participating in the two-year-plus-summer training program shall
ba Fort Wayne, St. Paul, and Oakland. Bronxville shall be asked

provide courses for men and women to prepare directly for en-
2 ‘ance in the junior class of the teachers’ colleges. Winfield is to
continue operating on a two-year terminal basis until Synod de-
clares that there is no longer need for it.

---3, To enable the existing schools to accommodate more stu-
dents, the first step necessary will be to bring about the adjustments
indicated. With regard to housing, the following may serve as a
summary, and the Board recommends that the funds detailed else-
where in this report be appropriated by Synod:

a. Fort Wayne: Conversion of Crull Hall for occupancy by
120 girls
b. Oakland: a new dormitory for girls (36 instead of 24)
ce. St.Paul: remodeling of Old Main Dormitory for 90 girls;
conversion of South Dormitory and use of West Dormitory

for 100 girls.

d. Winfield: remodeling of Baden Hall for 85 girls

Other construction is under way by previous allocation.

4. Concerning equipment and professional service, the Board
is not in a position at this time to make a specific request, except
that it be authorized to allow the respective schools to include in
their regular budget whatever may be required from time to time
in added equipment or teaching staff. Since only Synod creates
new professorships, the reference here is to instructors and assist-

tant professors.

5. A parallel activity is the intensification of recruitment and
selection of students. To maintain a proper balance according to
the needs of the field and the capacity of the institutions, it is
believed that Synod would do well to authorize the appointment
of a co-ordinator of professional training as requested under the
heading of Policy Studies, or an assistant secretary to the Board
for Higher Education as detailed elsewhere in this report. The
person appointed or called could among other things be charged
with the responsibility of aiding and harmonizing the recruitment
efforts of all synodical colleges, concomitant with his studies on
