FINANCIAL MATTERS 207

effort which their members devote to the cause of the schools
committed to their care. A number of items which’ were especially
referred to the Board of Directors should be included in this report.

20. Concordia Seminary, St.Louis. As to the matters referred
to the Board by the last convention, the temporary housing pro-
vision for students did not become a problem in practice, but several
houses had to be purchased for new professors. The Board of
Control will report in detail. The plans for building a gymnasium
or student center were held in abeyance until war restrictions are
removed. The same holds true as far as the plans for a gymnasium
at Springfield are concerned.

21. Teachers College, River Forest. Matters referred to us per-
taining to this college were taken care of, as needed. (Proceedings,
1941, pp. 46f.,51.) The report of the Board of Control will give
details. :

22. Teachers College, Seward. The problem of housing women
students at Seward was solved in this way that the former residence
of Dr. Brommer was converted into a girls’ dormitory. Details were
arranged with the Board of Control.

23. Concordia College, Fort Wayne. Minor matters, such as
tuck pointing of the walls of the gymnasium, replacement of side-
walk on Maumee Avenue, and widening of Center Drive, were
taken care of under summer repairs. (Proceedings, 1941, p. 61f.)
Renovations in the chapel were made in a very satisfactory way
under splendid co-operation on the part of the Fort Wayne con-
gregations. The new service building could not be erected, owing
to war conditions. We are holding the appropriation for this item
in reserve.

24. Concordia College, St.Paul. Two items were referred to
‘the Board of Directors. Part of the allowance of $9,550.00 for the
reconditioning of the old “South Building” was used to make
necessary repairs, particularly in the basement. A later, develop-
ment was the plan to recondition the building for use as a dor-
mitory. These plans could not be carried out at this time.

25. Concordia College, Oakland. The sale of the part of the

college campus west of 62d Avenue was to be looked after by our

Board. The Board gave permission to sell this property for good
residential purposes. The Committee on Colleges was given power
to deed the 100 feet of ground immediately adjoining the church
property to. Redeemer Lutheran Church for school purposes. The
Board went on record as favoring the transfer of the whole section
of land between the church property and the house occupied by
Professor Glock to Redeemer Church, with the understanding that
the congregation may dispose of such part of the land as may not
