The session hours were set as nine to half past eleven in the morning and half past one to four in the afternoon.

All sessions of the Synod were opened with a brief worship service. Prof. Böcler and Pastor Chr. Kühn served the Synod as chaplains. Prof. L. Fürbringer, Pastor W. Bröcker, Pastor L. Buchheimer, Pastor P. Lindemann, Pastor Ruhland, and Teacher Nimmer served as reporters, as did Pastor E. Eckhardt, who, commissioned by the presidium, had already made preparations before the Synod convened for issuing a daily report.

It was decided that if the publication of the summary closing report in the English language should show a deficit, this deficit would be reimbursed to Pastor Eckhardt out of the synodical treasury.

The teachers present at the Synod were permitted to absent themselves from the synodical session on the first Friday afternoon in order to attend a conference of the Chicago Teachers' Conference.
