The Student Body

It is to be recorded to the glory of God that the triennium has
en marked by consecration and good conduct on the part of the
tudent body. No instances of suspension or expulsion occurred.
e health of the students, with but a few exceptions, has been
pxcellent. For all this we are grateful to our heavenly Father.

Requests

The buildings erected in 1884 and 1890 are at present being
used only to a limited extent; they could, however, be made
Serviceable for many years to come, for they are of brick and
¥ structurally sound. During the past year we presented to the
Board of Directors a plan for converting these buildings to library
and office purposes; preliminary drawings were made by Architect
Steinmeyer. At the Fiscal Conference held in St. Louis in 1938 it
was resolved that the buildings referred to be renovated. We re-
quest that this resolution be carried out to provide needed library
and office space.

- Since 1926 we have come to Synod with the request for an
administration building to replace the present structure, which has
fulfilled its purpose. In its Survey Report the Board for Higher
Education states that a new administration building is a necessity
at St. Paul’s College. We therefore request that Synod grant an
administration building, to be erected either according to plans
» prepared in former years under the direction of the Board of
Directors or according to new plans. Provisions should also be
made for central heating facilities.
