Action.

Regarding these memorials, Synod adopted the following guiding
principles for the support of indigent students, pursuant to the recom.
mendations of Committee 1, together with the recommendations : —

1. Since all our students receive free tuition and housing on the
part of Synod, all students ought to be ready to do some manual or
other labor at our synodical institutions as their time may permit in
order to show their appreciation of the benefits they are receiving and
thus also to save additional expense to Synod. This, however, your
Committee holds, is a problem which cannot be solved by any fixed
rules, but must, according to circumstances, be worked out by the
board and the faculty of each institution.

2. Boards for indigent students shall as heretofore grant support
to a student during his first year at the institution on the basis of the
information and recommendations received from the local pastor,
teacher, or congregation.

3. Continued support after the first year shall be granted only to
such students as the faculty of the respective institution can recom-
mend for such support on the basis of their scholastic standing, appli-
cation, Christian character, and deportment. (A uniform standard to
guide faculties shall be worked out by a committee representing the

various institutions.)
