Resolution 14 ,

. HEREAS, The proposal to change the name of our Board for

; ae Education seems unnecessary and unwise, since the field in
the Board operates is sufficiently wide to justify the present

; therefore be. it

i Resolved, To accept the recommendation of Synod’s Board for

sor Education, “That Synod decline to change the designation
‘Board for Higher Education.’ ”

Student Aids

In accordance with the directive of the 1950 convention of
Synod, the Board for Higher Education convened student aid
(Indigent Student Fund) representatives from all parts of Synod
for a conference on the principles of student aid as accepted by the
Milwaukee Convention. Dr. Albert G. Huegli, Dean of Students
at the River Forest teachers’ college, again served the Board as

ial consultant in this area.

The findings and recommendations of this conference are the
subject of a memorial to Synod (p. 106 ff.).

ACTION
Nore: This was taken care of by action on Memorial 139.

Faculty Residence Options
In Resolution 34, Proceedings, page 304, the Milwaukee Con-
vention authorized a series of options which would be available to
local administrations and to the Board for Higher Education when
the method of housing called faculty members is to be determined.
One of the options included in Synod’s resolution authorized

“a “long-term sale to faculty people now occupying off-campus,

purchased synodical faculty housing. .. .”

During the past triennium your Board conveyed several recom-
mendations for the consideration of the Board of Directors, but it
has not succeeded in securing the concurrence of the Board of
Directors in any of these plans for the long-term sale of such .
housing to faculty people. Only one sale has been consummated,
and this was done on the basis of a cash contract.

In view of the vast amount (39 houses—cost $506,292.10)
of off-campus housing, much of it obsolescent, which Synod already
owns, the Board for Higher Education cannot feel that continuation
of present policies is a good investment for the Church. At the
same time there is no doubt that much additional property must

. be purchased (St.Louis and River Forest alone are requesting
15 additional staff members), even if progress were made at an
