Regular Army-St. Paul Grows In
Favor.
The Norwegian college and seminary
now located at Minneapolis will In the fu-
ture be governed by two distinct heads.
This much was decided at the synod
meeting Of the United Norwegian church,
by a vote Of 343 to 1873. yesterday, but
the future location of the college was not
definitely settled. The entire day was
spent discussing the question and the
matter was again taken up at the even
ing session, but no decision reached.
There Is a growing sentiment in favor
| of locating the college and seminary in
st. Paul. This feeling can be best judg-
ed by the address made by Prof. Lund,
OF Minneapolis. at the evening session.
who urged that the two branches Of the
educational work be kept together, and
he favored st. Paul for the location.
At present the institution is being con-
Quoted In rented buildings at Minneapo-
lis, but as the constituency of the synod
has been constantly growing, 1t Is the
| voice Of the delegates and clergymen that
| the institutions should have buildings OF
| their own, and to this end the Lutherans
| will lend their financial support. Yester-
days action on the part of the synod In
! voting to put each branch of the school
work under separate head was regarded
| as point In favor Of those who want the
| schools consolidated with st. Olafs COL
| lege at Mortified. and located at that
| place. Some time ago the trustees of ST.
Olaf's offered the synod the college build
ings at Mortified If the Minneapolis in
! stitution could be moved to Mortified
The matter has hung along for several
| years and it is expected that final ac-
! ton will be taken today.
| Earlier in the session the synod seemed
| to favor moving the academic branch of
| the work to Mortified and leaving the
| theological branch in Minneapolis, Just
as it is, until suitable buildings could be
1 provided there However, as the matter
! was more fully discussed a strong oppo-
! sition has grown up against separating
+! the two schools. Prof Brickman, at yes
| terday afternoons session, argued in IA
] Vor OF the theological department being
retained in Minneapolis, on the ground
! that there were many advantages which
student Of theology could secure in the
| town. Rev Brun secuted the idea of the
schools being separated. and favored
| either st. Paul or Minneapolis for the
| permanent location OF the schools. Prof
| Ytterboe favored the removal of the col
| lego to Mortified and the construction of
new seminary buildings at Minneapolis.
AT the evening session the question was
| discussed at length by half dozen del
| egates and clergymen and considerable
| St. Paul sentiment was evident. When
| the syond adjourned last evening it look
ed as If st. Paul would be selected as a
| compromise, as there seems to be but
| little chance that the Mortified and Min
neapolis people will get together The
| following participated in the discussion
at the evening session: Rev. Mr.. Void,
| Delegate Tronsdale, Delegate Omen, Rev.
| Mr.. Avison, Prof. Lund, Rev. J. Olson.
At the afternoon session the following
communication was presented and voted
upon with considerable spirit despite the
4 protests of several members on the floor
who thought it reflected upon President

The treasurer Of the mission funds had
his salary advance from $10O to 5000 per

shown by it's refusal to authorize the
