Plant

During the school year 1947—-1948 the West Dormitory was
remodeled and placed into use. In 1948 the Old Buenger Residence
remodeled and converted into a duplex for professorial resi-
Jonces on the campus. In 1948 an additional faculty residence was
urchased off the campus at the corner of Lexington Parkway and
Dayton Avenue. In 1948 one of the two boilers in the central
heating plant was replaced with an oil-burning new boiler. In
1949 an additional 5% acres was added to the campus at a cost of
$40,000. The buildings and grounds of Concordia are in excellent
condition. The Board of Control urges Synod to expend the moneys
necessary to keep its plant in good condition, because repairs and
necessary improvements, when delayed unnecessarily, are ex-
tremely costly.
