Change of Tuition-Fee for Non-Ministerial Students.
(Memorial 124.)

Synod has set a tuition-fee of $100 a year for “all students who
attend the institutions of Synod, but do not intend to serve the Synod
as pastors or teachers.”

In fixing the rate, Synod did not differentiate between the high-
school and the college department.

We, the undersigned, respectfully suggest that Synod make a dif-
ference and charge $40 in the high-school and $100 in the college
department. ——

The following reasons argue in favor of such a change: —

1. Parents who are in doubt about their son’s vocational inclina-
tion would be more willing to give the work at one of our institutions
a trial if the tuition rate in the high-school department were lower.

2. Synod’s institutions would very likely be more successful in
collecting tuition if the rate were more equitable.

3. Other private or church institutions are making such a differ-
ence in tuition-rates and have found this practise to work out success-
fully and beneficially.

Reducing the Tuition of Non-Ministerial Students.

do not intend later to serve the Synod as pastors and teachers is in
most cases prohibitive; and

Wuereas, There is ample room in our colleges for the accommo-
dation of such students; and

Wuereas, A reduction of said amount of tuition would result
in the gaining of many more students to the general welfare of our
Church and the increase of our funds; and

Wuerras, The average rate of tuition of the Lutheran high
