Action Regarding Individual Institutions 53

present time it is not possible to state whether this will be neces-
sary. However, it will be too late to make an appropriation at the
next convention. For this reason the Board of Control asks that

Recommendations of Committee 1:
1. “The Board of Control asks Synod to find means and ways

Your Committee recommends that this request be declined,

overtures were declined, which also disposed of Memorial 133, IV,
