Administration of Student Aid

The Houston Convention authorized the Board for Higher
Education “to establish under its jurisdiction a clearing house for
information and suggestions relative to the District student aid
program and to gather and make available application forms,
statistical data, and other pertinent materials” (1953 Proceedings,
page 166).

Your Board believes that its suggestions for the development
of District student aid committees into District student recruitment
committees with broader functions as detailed in another section
of this report will serve as an important additional step in im-
proving the effective ‘administration of student aid for the benefit
of ministerial and teacher-training students in the several synodical
Districts. .

May God, the Giver of all good things, through His Holy
Spirit guide the decisions of Synod in these matters. ‘
