Seminary.”

3. Faculty..members ‘and ‘students of the Seminary have re~ |

peatedly expressed the desire for.a chapel on the campus of. Con-

cordia Seminary. Since 1926, when’ the new. Seminary was first ©
sused, devotional services for the faculty and’ student. body shave - ae
been conducted in the Seminary ‘Auditorium, which does not. lend. :
‘itself wel] to this purpose. Students use this ‘Seminary Auditorium’: "

for their Association meetings, their Lyceum . programs, chorus

rehearsals and concerts, and for other social meetings. ‘Therefore. oe :
the Auditorium is not'a, place sufficiently set apart for’ private medi- 7
tation and public worship;.’ and it does not have an atmosphere ;

conducive. to devotion and. ‘prayer.

A. building which would be churchly i in ‘its architectural design, ae
‘to be used exclusively for’ private meditation and prayer, and for.
devotional services would be sincerely appreciated by the faculty, a

and students of the Seminary. |

Therefore the Board: of Control herewith requests Synod to -
“use a part of. the proposed | “Thankoffering for Peace” ‘for the erect ' ae .
tion of. this. chapel « on ‘the campus of Concordia ‘Seminary. asa ‘tan-.. we
gible memorial ‘of. gratitude to God’. for His ‘bountiful blessings. . a
