Jewell Record: Jewell Lutheran col
lege will remain definitely and per
manently in Jewell.
The resolution adopted at the recent
Lutheran church meeting held III
Jewell fayoring consolidation OF the
Jewell college with Waldorf college
and leaving the matter OF location to
vote of delegates from the Lutheran
churches of the three circuits, was
made subject to the approval OF con
solidation by the board of education OF
the Norwegian Lutheran church OF
America.
Board Refuses.
Last week, at the Lutheran church
meeting in Minneapolis, the board OF
education took up the matter OF con
solida ton of the two colleges, anu
adoption n resolution refusing to give
it's approval to the proposed consolidd-
ton.
That ends, definitely and permanent
~, all danger of removal Of the college
from Jewell. The college will remain
here, and the building improvement
will now be pushed to com
pletion as rapidly as possible. Catalogs
for the coming school year will be IS
sued, faculty members secured, and a
campaign pushed for students in an
effort to make the coming year the most
in the history of the school
The resolution adopted at Mime
apoils last week is as follows:
Upon the basis of an official COM
of date June i, 1920, from
Rev. T. ]. SevertsOn, secretary OF jew
ell Lutheran College association, re-
porting certain resolutions passed by
said associate in regard to a pro-
posed consolidation Of Waldorf Luth-
eran College and Jewell Lutheran Col
lege, the board desires to present the
statement: .s.
Upon Recommendation of the board
the Norwegian Lutheran Church, In
1919, adopted the following resolutions
In regard to- Jewell Lutheran College
THAT the church transfer the prop
erty by deed to corporation to be
formed in the Jewell territory pro-
yided such be organized and shall be
willing to assume the duty to operate
the school. .s-.t,.
'.That the church agree to aid in sup
porting the institution under the same
terms and conditions as govern its re-
|ations to other academies now owned
by local corporations but aided by the
church.
THAT in making such transfer the
church encourages and expects that
the community win rally around the
raise funds to erect an
adequate boys dormitory, and in gem
sral maintain a school that will be
.reditable to the community and the
church,
Accepting these provisions the
people of Jewell and adjacent ter
ritOry have already done a consider
able amount Of work and expend-
ed money.
In consideration of these facts,
the board would incur a just ac-
cusation of breach Of faith if it
should at this time encourage the
removal of the institution from
Jewell to some other locality.
The board in the absence Of infOr-
nation to the contrary, assumes
that the Jewell College association
Is willing to continue conducting
the school; and to conduct 1t at
Jewell. 1t is safe to assume that
removal Of the institution away
from its present location will pro-
duce dissatisfaction on the part Of
many and a loss Of confidence in
the decisions of the church. The
board, therefore, holds that no such
conSOlida ton should take place
