Tuition

When in 1938 Synod stipulated that, though Synod desired
that the experiments in general higher education and in coeducation
be continued but that this be done without additional cost to
Synod, we expressed our anxiety as to the exact meaning of this
stipulation so far as Bronxville is concerned. Before we had our
charter, we had courses other. than the ministerial course with the

_express permission of Synod. This permission was given already
in 1918. Because of these general courses we were in a position
to remit to Synod from 1928 to 1937 $29,671 receipts from tuition.
When we secured our charter with the approval of Synod, we knew
that additional sources of income had to be provided to meet
additional costs. So long as we had no charter and no divided
faculty, we had no additional expenses on account of the general
courses. With the charter, however, our faculty had to be
divided, and we had to secure additional teachers. Three years
ago we pleaded that we be permitted to retain as much of the
tuition-money as is needed in a given year to carry the additional
costs which the charter imposed upon us and remit the balance
to Synod. No action was taken on our request three years ago.
Hence our anxiety about the additional cost without additional
income. .

In compliance with Synod’s resolution we presented this
problem to the Board for Higher Education and the Board of
Directors. Permission was granted to retain tuition-money till
this convention.

’ We therefore repeat our request of three years ago that we
be permitted to retain the tuition-money, with the provision that
we are always one year ahead of our expenses with our receipts.
We would then use the 1940—1941 tuition receipts to meet the
expenses for the year 1941—1942. The annual balance is to be
remitted to Synod at the end of the school-year.

In order to give a complete picture of the entire matter, we
present a detailed report on the additional salaries which we must
pay for general higher education and for coeducation, expenses
which Synod will not meet:

Salaries for four teachers in the high-school department on
account of the division of the faculty necessitated by
