Report of Board for Higher Education 111

6. Synod would be able to use the educational facilities already
provided at Valparaiso University by loyal members of Synod.
This plan would therefore avoid duplication of these facilities at
great cost elsewhere.

We realize, of course, that Synod should have complete super-
vision and control over the pretheological students attending Val-
paraiso University under the plan suggested above. In this matter
we would be ready and willing to follow the suggestions which
would emerge from the proposed survey. We believe that arrange-
ments for such supervision could be made very easily.

It is our understanding that at present the Board for Higher
Education has no authority to consider the greater use of Valparaiso
University for synodical purposes. We therefore respectfully
petition .

1. That Synod instruct the Board for Higher Education to
include in its proposed survey a study of how Synod could make
greater use of the educational facilities of Valparaiso University.

2. That Synod instruct the Board for Higher Education to
give particular consideration in the proposed survey to the feasi-
bility of having pretheological students complete their college
work at Valparaiso University before entering Concordia Semi-
nary, St. Louis, Mo.

All the members of the Lutheran University Association join
us in a sincere expression of gratitude to the members of Synod
who have supported the work of Christian higher education at
Valparaiso University during the past triennium. It is our hope
and prayer that the University may be of ever-increasing service
to our beloved Church.

Respectfully submitted,
W. C. Dickmeyenr, President
The Lutheran University Association
