Report of Committee 1

After careful consideration of all factors involved, your Com-
mittee is of the opinion that a full-time librarian at present is
not absolutely necessary.

Since, however, a qualified person possessing the desirable
academic training in library science is necessary in an institution
of this nature and of this size; and

Since it has been demonstrated that adequate library service
and supervision can be performed in addition to classroom
teaching;

And since permanency is of great importance in building and
conducting a library, we recommend

That River Forest be granted permission to call a full pro-
fessor having library training to the position now being filled by
an assistant.

Action of Synod: This recommendation was adopted.

Wuereas, This limitation is not providing Synod with a suffi-

Wuereas, Synod has also favored the compilation of an
accredited list of woman teachers; and

Wuereas, It is highly probable that many of the women now
teaching in our schools but not eligible for the accredited list will
wish to secure such accreditation by enrolling at one of our
teacher-training institutions; and

Wuergas, The present limitations imposed by Synod will
probably make it impossible for our teacher-training institutions
to enroll such teachers; and,

Wuereas, River Forest has this year enrolled woman students
up to the very limit permitted by Synod; and

Wuereas, The College of Presidents will be best in position to
form an estimate as to the number of woman teachers needed in
Synod from time to time; therefore we respectfully

Petition Synod to give the College of Presidents the authority
to regulate the quota of woman students at River Forest as it
