Arlington Heights, Ill.: $400.00; c. W. Wendt — still uncertain —

(Excerpt from the report of the Committee on Legacy Administration.)

Resolved, that all legacies bequeathed to the Synod in general, or
directly — that is, in a manner such that the testator's express
provision did not transfer administration of the legacy to a
specific person or board — shall be handed over by their present
administrators to the Committee on Legacy Administration for further
administration.

Note: The foregoing resolution is to be regarded as a further
elaboration of § 3, p. 140 of the Synodical Handbook, 4th edition.

Resolved, that the boards of control of our educational institutions,
who are responsible to the General Synod in the administration of the
legacies entrusted to them just as in all other parts of their office,
shall henceforth be required to report once a year to the Committee
on Legacy Administration appointed by the General Synod, concerning
the investment, the proceeds, and the use of the proceeds of all
legacies placed in their hands.

1st note: By order of the Synod, the foregoing resolution is to be
inserted as a separate paragraph after § 6, p. 140 of the Synodical
Handbook, 4th edition.

2nd note: Regarding the legacies for Springfield, Ill., and Concordia,
Mo., see p. 114; compare also pp. 43, 59.
