ment of present equipment, acquisition of additional equipment,
and other overhead costs of the food service operation should be
defrayed from student fees.

Board charges are payable monthly in advance and are not
refundable.

The principles on general rehabilitation or modernization of
dormitories and on competition between schools as given above
should also apply to dining halls.

Miscellaneous Income

Every synodical school will be able to get some extra income
from donations or from miscellaneous sources. Such income may
properly be used for such items as campus improvement and
beautification, cultural items (such as pictures, sculpture, and other
art forms), special library holdings, special equipment, refinements
in service, and educational extras. The experiences of our schools
lead to the judgment that miscellaneous current income will
probably never be of such proportions as to affect materially the
synodical subsidy or the schedule of student fees.

The Need for Financial Aid to Students

Already in 1950 the Board for Higher Education reported to
the synodical convention at Milwaukee on a preliminary study
of the entire problem of student aid within the church, conducted
for the Board under the direction of Dean Albert G. Huegli of
Concordia Teachers College in River Forest. (See Proceedings,
1950, pp. 307 ff.)

As a result of the encouragement of the 1950 convention, the
Board for Higher Education convened a synod-wide conference
on District student aid in River Forest early in 1952. The Houston
Convention, in turn, took favorable action on the recommendations
of this conference as incorporated in a memorial.

The same convention referred the problem of the collection
and use of “synodical tuitions” to the Board for Higher Education
for further study, with instructions to report its findings to the
1956 convention.

In the light of its further study and in conformity with other
recommendations in this section on educational finance, the Board
has modified its report and herewith recommends:

1. That “synodical tuitions” as presently established be col-
lected annually from all students enrolled at our colleges and
seminaries who are not preparing for the church professions;

2. That synodical tuition funds collected by our colleges and
seminaries be forwarded annually to the Treasurer of Synod
for impounding;
