48 Report of the Committee on Higher Education

the present set-up is satisfactory and just to all concerned. How-
ever, the problem is a large one, requiring more time than we
could give to it. We therefore respectfully suggest that the new
Board for Higher Education make an early study of this whole
question and submit recommendations to the next convention of
Synod.

On these 12 items Committee 1 brought in the following recom-
mendations:

1. (Cf. also report of Board of Directors, p. 224, 2.) Your Com-
mittee recommends that Recommendation 1 be referred to the
Fiscal Conference to allow if finances warrant it; that Recommen-
dation 2 be adopted.

2. (Cf. also report of Board of Directors, p. 223, 2.) Your Com-
mittee recommends adoption.

3. Your Committee recommends that this point be adopted and
referred to the Board for Higher Education.

4. Your Committee recommends that this matter be turned over
to the Board for Higher Education for execution.

5. Concerning “grants to professors taking advanced courses”
your Committee has studied the report of the Committee on Higher
Education, Point 5, and also Overture 148, pp. 86 and 88, and rec-
ommends the adoption of the following recommendation to take the
place of the recommendation made by the Committee on Higher
Education:

called professors be allowed a year’s study at a university be
amended to the effect that also professors in office may be included;
however, that this rule apply only in the most urgent cases and that
ordinarily grants in aid be made for shorter terms than a year and
for part-time study; and be it further 7so6

Resolved, That such aid must in each ‘¢ase be approved by the
local Board of Control, the Board for Higher Education, and the
Board of-Directors; and be it further

Resolved, That the program of studies for which aid is to be
granted shall be subject to the approval of the Board for Higher
Education. ~- ‘ 4
