78 RESOLUTIONS — COMMITTEE 1

Proposition Nineteen. The Synod at any one time
should have as few four-year colleges and senior col-
leges as its needs require.

Proposition Twenty. The synodical high school is the
desirable agency by which a significant core of able and
dedicated young men can begin early pursuit of a
church vocation. Community Lutheran high schools
likewise make a significant contribution in this respect.

Proposition Twenty-one. No synodical school oper-
ating at any level is to exceed the maximum student
enrollment defensible for it, nor is it other than tem-
porarily to disrupt its balanced campus development at
its optimum enrollment level.

Proposition Twenty-two. The plans and problems
necessary for the development of an indigenous Cana-
dian ministry require that the future of Edmonton be
considered apart from the long-range plans for the
synodical schools in the United States.

Proposition Twenty-three. Colleges and seminaries
engaged primarily in training pastors and teachers for
the church have a valid claim on the church’s budget
and capital dollar.

Proposition Twenty-four. The leaders and the con-
stituents of our schools and the administrative heads
thereof are to concern themselves with the securing of
funds on a noncompetitive basis from sources other than
the Synod’s current treasury and with increasing em-
phasis on rising student fees.

Proposition Twenty-five. Congregations and their
organizations are urged to consider the various forms of
proper student aid for the regular and specialized minis-
tries within the church as a valid means of exercising
stewardship.

Proposition Twenty-six. As the number of students
in the system grows, increasing attention needs to be
given to early identification and training of additional
instruction staff members.

Proposition Twenty-seven. The Board for Higher
Education is to continue to study the necessary develop-
ment of the Synod’s system of ministerial and teacher
training in the light of the growth of the Synod and
the opportunities confronting it and report its findings
to the Synod.

Action: Propositions 1 through 27 were adopted with
the exception that Proposition 5 was recommitted for
further study during the triennium, and after Proposi-
tion 10 had been reworded and Proposition 25 had been
amended as printed above.
