PRINCETON BOARD
MERGER ADVISED
Special Committee Urges
Consolidation of Seminary’s
Control to End Friction.
| By the Associated Pres*.
PHILADELPHIA. April 27—The text
: of the report of the special committee
of 11 of the Presbyterian General As
sembly. recommending the merger of
the board of trustees and the board of
directors of Princeton Theological Semi
nary into a single board of 33 members,
was made public here today.
The committee was appointed by the
last General Assembly to confer with
the two boards regarding plans for the
reorganization of the control of the
seminary and thus end the long-stand
ing friction in that institution.
The report will be submitted to the
! Tulsa, Okia , meeting of the assembly
in May.
Briefly, the plan, as recommended bv
jthe majority report signed by 10 of the
11 members, would create one hoard
with unified control, "with unmistakable
j power to govern and. where need arises,
to enforce its decisions."
A minority report was submitted bv
E. D, Warfield, president of Wilson Col
lege. representing the board of directors
of the seminary
As recommended by the majority re
port. the president would be the chiet
executive officer of the seminary, under
the authority of the board the board
similarly being under the authority et
the General Assembly. Under the new
plan the board which would consist oi
not more than 18 ministers and not
more than 15 ruling elders would have
the power to dismiss the president or
members of the faculty after a full
meeting
The minority report would make the
president onlv a member of the faculty
and its presiding officer Dr. Warfield
took exception to the make-up of the
new board as proposed by the majority,
asserting that provision was not irade
tor an adequate representation of min
isters,
