Library and Media Center

Recognizing the seminary’s need of greatly increased

library space and a center for an enlarged media program, the |

Board of Regents authorized a very thorough space utilization
study by Dober and Associates Inc. of Belmont. Mass. This
study was very helpful to the Board of Regents as they made
plans for the future in these two vital areas of our seminary

program. They submitted some of the options for increase of °

library space and a media center to the Board of Directors of
Synod and were told in response to conduct a thorough
feasibility study, which study was prepared by Community

Counselling Service Company Inc., the same concern which .

made a feasibility study in advance of the Forward in Remem-
brance program of the Synod. This study revealed the fact that
the seminary could in fact mount a rather large campaign fora
new library which would meet the demands of our increased
student body and also for some very helpful space utilization
changes within our present building complex. The study.
however. cautioned against any campaign before all FIR funds
had been collected by the Synod and suggested that a far more
successful campaign could be mounted if combined with a
similar campaign of our sister seminary in St. Louis. The
Board of Regents has therefore postponed this matter until
they can receive the full endorsement of the Board of Directors.

Continuing Education

Recognizing the tremendous potential and need for continu-
ing education among the clergy of The Lutheran Church—
Missouri Synod. the Board of Regents is sending tothe Svnoda
memorial asking that both seminaries be allowed to increase
their programs of continuing education by increasing faculty
