Report of Committee 1

Concerning the requests for Seward, Committee 1 recommended
the following:

That the matter of woman students at Seward shall be solved
in the same manner as has been recommended for River Forest.

(The recommendation referred to, as adopted by Synod, is the
following: That Synod give the College of Presidents authority to
regulate the quota of woman students at River Forest and Seward
as it finds it to be necessary or desirable for the efficient carrying
out of Synod’s educational program.)

That the matters and requests made by Concordia Teachers’
College at Seward, Nebr., be included in the survey.

Action of Synod: These recommendations were adopted.

service in the Church.

The past practice of housing girls in approved homes in the
community is no longer considered a solution. For a number of

refectory. To have these girls scattered over a relatively large
area and yet have them board at the college is becoming imprac-
ticable.

The control of the girls presents great difficulties under the
system of rooming-houses or homes. The administration finds itself
either helpless in many instances to control the situation ade~-
quately, or it is forced to rely on the cooperation and good will of
too many individuals. All of this creates a rather inadequate
situation.

_ Parents, too, appear not to be content with present conditions.
We have reason to believe that the absence of adequate housing
