Financial Matters 271

ducted, were made without cost to Synod. As to running expenses,
the memorial (Proceedings 1935, p.82) referred to prorating, or
apportioning, such expenses, while another paragraph (p. 83) em-
phasized that the arrangement should cost the Synod nothing. The
authors of the overture unanimously insisted that their under-
standing was that the High School Association would pay all ex-
penses over and above what it would cost to conduct the college
department. It was finally agreed that the Fort Wayne Lutheran
High School Association be billed for the difference in the cost of
heating, including labor costs.

3) Milwaukee. — Pursuant to the resolution of the last Synod
the Cedar St. dormitory (Kilbourn Hall) was razed, and the pro-
ceeds ($550) were used for landscaping, filling in, etc.

4) Oakland.— Of the $5,000 requested from the last Synod,
$1,700 was granted by the Board for the most necessary repairs.
The remainder of these repairs will be taken care of, if necessary,
in connection with summer repairs this year.

5) St. Paul. — The requests of this institution having been
turned over to our Board by the last Synod, the $1,100 requested
for painting, etc., in the chapel and the $1,350 for the consolidation
of the libraries were granted. It was found that the old boiler
might continue to do service if the new boiler could be equipped
with a stoker. This was granted.

6) Seward.—Synod resolved that a third college year be
added at the Seward normal school. The Board. took up this
matter early in 1936 with the College of Presidents and was en-
couraged to carry out this resolution, which was done.

7) All Institutions.— Our Committee on Colleges was con-
stantly in touch with our educational institutions through their
local boards. In the interest of closer cooperation the policy now is
to have the minutes of the local boards submitted to our committee.
The necessary summer repairs have been granted. Whenever
a local board wished to fill an existing vacancy in its faculty, the
advice of the Board of Directors was secured before steps were
taken to elect the new professor. Boards asking for the establish-
ment of a new professorship were always referred to Synod.

C. Missions
1) Foreign Missions.— The last Synod instructed the Board
of Directors to make the necessary funds available to send out
eight foreign missionaries, as requested by the Mission Board, four
to India and four to China. This resolution could not be carried
out because the missionaries were not sent. The report of the
Mission Board will explain the matter.
