Resolved not to press for accreditation now, but to make this
college, as far as possible, accreditable.

In conclusion your Committee for Raising the Standards of our
Educational System makes the following additional proposals: —

1. Beginning with Sexta, students are to receive competent in-
struction in the use of the vocal organs. The study of a young man
for, the ministry represents so great an investment that everything
ought to be done to put him in position to serve the Church for
-a longer period of time.

2. Every pupil should annually undergo a physical examination
and be held to take such physical exercises as he needs.

3. At the first examination every pupil is to be warned against
the sins to which youth is easily tempted, especially those done in
secret, and receive a tract on this matter. Rev. W. Dallmann, D. D.,
was asked to write such a tract.

4, The instruction in the lower classes, where the foundation
must be laid, should be given by regular professors, and therefore not
many assistants ought to be employed at our educational institutions.

5. In the interest of the present situation the entrance require-
ments of the Springfield Seminary should be raised; particulars as
to ways and means are to be referred to a committee to be elected.

Point 2 was supported by the unprinted overture of the Pro-
fessors’ Conference.
