In the meantime , the Evangel ical Lutht'ran

Church

at

its

biannual

convention held at Minnea polis in June, 1948, voted to hold a Churchwide appeal for its two seminaries, five senior colleges, junior college s and academics. Aft"r much c on sider­ ation and debatc, it was decided that the appcal should be made in 1949 for a minimum of $2,000,000. The authority

to distribute this

money

was given to the Board of Education

in conjunction with the Board of Trustees of the Synod.

At this time it seems to be gen­ erally ag re ed that $100,000 is to be

given to Luther Seminary, that all of the money collected in Canada shall b(' given to the seminary and scnoois in thac area, tilat 10% uf the residue is to be given to the junior

eoll t'ges and academics in thl' States, and that the balance is to be divided

in five equal parts to the five senior colle ges, inc l uding Pacific Lutheran College.
