Ev. Luth. Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States. 1926. 27

Requests.

In view of these facts we respectfully petition Synod to regard
the action of the College of Presidents with regard to the new pro-
fessorship as the establishment of a new chair and therefore to permit
the Board to call another professor if Synod should decide that the
.. present temporary arrangement with Zehlendorf is to be. made . per-
;. manent. We repeat our request of 1923 for a librarian as an addi-

tional member of our Faculty. We petition Synod to establish a
minimum salary of $225 a month for the professors at, Concordia
; Seminary and to empower the Board of Control, in conjunction with
a the Board of Directors, to add to this minimum as necessity arises.

.

New Appropriations Requested.

Since our dormitories are built to accommodate 400 students. and
since this number will be greatly exceeded before Synod again con-
venes, we ask for permission to erect two dormitories at $165, 000 in
accordance with the plans adopted ag soon as necessity may arise.

In order to provide for better physical development of our stu-
dents, we petition Synod to erect a gymnasium at the Seminary, to
engage a physical direétor, and to make physical training obligatory
for all students.

Since we need more help in the new buildings, we ask Synod to
permit this Board, in conjunction with the Board of Directors, to
engage such help as will be needed.

Two: memorials from the Board of Control and the Faculty
petitioned Synod to authorize $10,000: forthe library and for the
establishment of a Pedagogical Department and training-school in
connection with the Seminary or preferably with the Senior College.

ee Resolved: — Action.
