Resolved, that one member each from the faculties of our institutions at St. Louis, Springfield, Addison, and Seward, together with the members of the former hymnal committee, shall form the new hymnal commission. The individual representative of each of the above institutions is to be appointed by the faculty concerned.

Resolved, to ask Prof. A. Crull expressly to continue serving on the new commission. (Prof. Crull had most urgently asked to be excused from further work on this matter.)

Resolved, that in case Prof. Crull no longer serves on the commission, Prof. W. Schaller be put in his place.

Resolved, that the printing of the hymnal with musical notation and the publication of the new chorale book be postponed until the new hymnal commission has completed its work.
