118 SEMINARIES AND COLLEGES

g. The need of available facilities for the immediate production
of more workers at a given institution;

h. The availability of Lutheran high schools in such an area
which would compensate to some degree for the conversion of these
facilities to a training program at the college level only;

i. The quality and variety of public high school offerings in
that area;

j. The possible inherent values involved in retaining a core of
synodically trained students at the various levels of training to
provide comparative data and occasion for mutual beneficial inter-
action; and

Wuereas, A lack of time has prevented the Board for Higher
Education from making the suggested study; therefore be it

Resolved, (a) That Synod approve this program of study and
instruct the Board for Higher Education, in co-operation with the
synodical colleges and seminaries, to carry out this study and to
report to the 1959 synodical convention; and be it finally

Resolved, (b) That the general synodical policy be established
that there be no current expansion in capacity or enrollment of
existing high school programs in Synod’s institutions and that there
be no current extension or transfer of a synodical high school
program to any new campus that may be established, at least until
this study is completed and further recommendations are made
available for action by Synod.

church; be it

Resolved, That The Lutheran Church — Missouri Synod create
a position and provide it with adequate personnel to develop
a program designed to bring the needs of the church to the atten-
tion of its university staff members and to persuade such teaching
