32 SEMINARIES AND COLLEGES

our Bronxville Concordia and Valparaiso have been endeavori
to integrate their respective curricula in such a manner that |
dents graduating from our junior college could continue

studies at Valparaiso, and we have been actively encouraging o1
students to do so. The enrollment figures of the past trienni
are as follows: ,

Concordia Chapel

The space in our Administration Building which served as 0
chapel in the past has been redecorated and refurnished with the
assistance of the Atlantic District, so that it now offers a ve
churchly atmosphere for the chapel services of our students. How-:
ever, it must be borne in mind, as we reported three years ago,.
that this makeshift chapel occupies space which could well be’
converted into two badly needed classrooms; also that it is too:
small to serve our student body adequately.

Concordia Congregation has recently acquired property oppo-.
site our school containing a large residence which will be used fo
its own parish activities. At present the congregation is still wor:

shiping in our school chapel but expects eventually to erect a per-.
manent church edifice. Pe

Buildings and Equipment

Your Board has made every effort to keep our buildings ani
equipment in good repair. The only addition to our buildings o
the campus since the last convention was the erection of a refrig:

an additional dormitory for our women students, owing to our
increased enrollment. We were able to purchase a suitable prop-
erty and building for this purpose located off the campus direct];
Opposite one of our present women’s dormitories. The funds we
made available by the Atlantic District.

Our school was host to the Atlantic District conventions offs :
1942 and 1943 and will again serve in this capacity for 1945. This

our school.

In addition to many gifts from individuals and societies, p
ticularly from the. Lutheran Education Society and the Ladies’.
Society of Concordia Collegiate Institute, our school, in May of 19
received a bequest of $500 from the estate of Mr. Andreas Dihlmani
