6 FOREWORD

June 24, by visiting clergymen. During the late after-
noon of this day the President’s reception and buffet
supper were attended by several thousand delegates and
visitors. The evening hours of this day were given over
to the third presentation of the religious drama Cry
Wisdom in the Streets! written by Pastor Robert H.
Clausen and presented by The Lutheran Actors Com-
pany.

Through the kindness of the Women’s Hospitality
Committee a series of luncheons and several sight-
Seeing tours were arranged for the wives of the dele-
gates and other visiting ladies during the convention
days. x * »¢

To conform with the new format in which Reports
and Memorials 1962 appeared, the format of the Pro-
CEEDINGS also has been changed. We have also followed
the procedure, introduced three years ago, of printing
only the text of the resolutions acted upon by the con-

vention instead of printing again the reports and me-
morials to which the resolutions refer. However, pre-
ceding every resolution will be found, for the purpose
of identification, the number of the page in Reports and
Memorials and/or Today’s Business to which the reso-
lution refers. In response to several requests we have
also provided the text of those unprinted memorials
published in Today’s Business. A numerical list corre-
lating the reports and memorials with the pertinent
resolutions and pages in Proceepines, and a topical
index should facilitate finding individual items without
too much delay.

Finally, we have inserted a limited number of con-
vention pictures in the hope that the somewhat forbid-
ding appearance of these many solidly printed pages
will be relieved to a degree, and for the purpose of let-
ting those who were not in Cleveland obtain at least
a few glimpses of a convention in action.
