Resolution 63

iavas, It is highly desirable that uniformity be maintained
ment policies among our terminal institutions; and

cas, A deviation on the part of any institution from the
ent policies results in confusion, embarrassment, and irri-
therefore be it

olved, That Section 6.62 of the Handbook read as follows:

Fi j Handbook Section 6.61
“8 While it is the opinion of the Board for Higher Education that
this section delegates authority relating to admissions, advance-
ments, or dismissals of students to the faculty, questions have been
raised about responsibilities in this area, since the title , of the
section has reference only to “Scholarship Standards.” The section
itself may properly remain unchanged, in the opinion of this Board,
but its intent would be clarified if the title of the section were
changed so that it would emphasize the fact that this section is
not restricted to scholarship standards. Accordingly, the Board for
Higher Education

Recommends that the title of Section 6.61 be changed so that
it reads: “Fixing of Standards of Admission, Dismissal, and
Scholarship.” .
ACTION

No particular action was taken on Section 6.61. This matter
was left in the hands of the Committee on Constitutional Matters.

Subsidy for University Study by Faculty Personnel
Handbook Section 6.69

Since an oversight prevented Synod from taking final action
on the recommendation which the Board had made. for considera-
tion of the 1950 convention, the Board

Recommends adoption of the wording proposed for this section
at the previous convention: Change the title to “Grants for
Advanced Study” and the wording of the section so that it will
read: “6.69. Grants for Advanced Study. The Boards of Control
of Synod’s colleges and seminaries shall recommend subsidies for
university study by faculty personnel when such additional study
is made mandatory or desirable by local circumstances beyond
the control of the faculty personnel involved (e.g., addition of
courses, request to assist in library, guidance work, requirements
