13th Delegate Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States, 1911. 53

2. That the institution be moved to Chicago in such a way that the
plan for all necessary buildings be taken in hand at once;

3. That the Lutheran Education Society of Chicago be asked to keep
open its offer of a suitable piece of property worth $50,000.00 for the
whole institution;

4. That the Northern Illinois District be asked to devote the
$30,000.00 already collected for a new building at Addison to the
planned buildings in Chicago;

5. That the General Synod appropriate a further $100,000.00 for this
purpose;

(Note from the assistant secretary's minutes of May 18, afternoon,

10. To ask all the congregations of our Synod to make the execution of
this undertaking their concern;

11. That this relocation of the teachers' seminary from Addison to
Chicago shall take precedence over all other approved expenditures of
the building fund.
