ACTION

As to the requests for Professors and Associate Professors
in these reports, Committee 1 submitted the following resolution
(No. 28), which was adopted:

Wuereas, The following institutions are requesting the creation
of professorships and associate professorships:

Concordia, St.Louis. 6 Concordia, Oakland 2
Concordia, River Forest .___ 3 Concordia, Austin. 1
Concordia, Seward 5 St.John’s, Winfield 3
and

Wuereas, The creation of these professorships and associate
professorships would effect no net increase in staff at the respective
institutions; therefore be it

Resolved, That the Board for Higher Education, operating
within the fiscal limitations of the coming triennium, be authorized
to grant the requested professorships and associate professorships.

The request in Reports 103 and 104 for training high school
teachers was taken care of by Resolution 29, which was adopted:

Wuereas, The 1953 convention authorized that intensive plan-
ning for training high school teachers should be inaugurated and
pursued with vigor during the coming triennium; and

Wuereas, The two teachers’ colleges faithfully discharged this
obligation placed upon them by the Houston Convention and at
the same time kept in mind their prime task of training elementary
school teachers; therefore be it

Resolved, That Synod endorse the workable program developed
which will offer preparation adequate to the needs of the com-
munity Lutheran high schools with a minimum adjustment in the
existing elementary teacher training program.

As to a required year of vicarage for male students at our
teachers’ colleges, Synod adopted Resolution 30 of Committee 1:

Wuereas, Requests for a required year of vicarage for male
teacher-training students have been made; therefore be it

Resolved, That the faculties of the teachers’ colleges, with the
approval of the Board for Higher Education, be authorized to study
the advisability of instituting a required year of vicarage for male
students at the teachers’ colleges, inserted between the third and
fourth college years,
