ever-present need of repairs and replacements and the entire
administration program of the school. Mr. Otto C. Scheimann, who

Rev. Ottomar Krueger accepted a call to Zion Ev. Lutheran Church,
Akron, Ohio. Prof. Herbert G. Bredemeier accepted the call to the
presidency. Owing to the increased enrollment, Dr. John F. Stach

attention has been given to counsel and guidance of students
through specially appointed faculty members. — Approval has been
given by the Board of Directors and the Board for Higher Educa-

a dormitory.
