48 SEMINARIES AND COLLEGES

Our Western District, by synodical resolution, has agreed. to
gather the sum of $50,000 for the furnishings and equipment of the
new building. Of this sum $21,754.34 have been expended for desks, ;
office furniture, chapel seating, and classroom equipment. :

Requests 4

For the proper housing of our students the additional dormitory 4
granted by Synod’s Board of Directors should be erected. There-{
for we respectfully petition Synod to grant our school an ap-]
propriation of $250,000 for the erection of a 66-student dormitory,
When it became evident that, due to rising prices, the three4
buildings (administration building, dormitory, and central heating’
plant) needed on the campus could not be built for $425,000,5
Synod’s Board of Directors advised that an administration build-'
ing and a central heating plant be built for the moneys allotted.4
That leaves unmet the need for additional dormitory space at our#
school as conceded by Synod’s Board of Directors in 1945. Unless’
additional provisions are made for the proper housing of our
students, we shall have to turn applicants away.
In view of these and other reasons, we renew our request for ¥

a new dormitory. Our architects, Carroll and Dean, have made¥
a careful study and check of building costs and assure us that
a 66-student dormitory could be built for $250,000. ;
Such needs of the institution as painting, general repairs, etc.,%
have been submitted to the Committee on Colleges and will, no¥
doubt, be taken care of in the usual manner. *

Conclusion

In conclusion, we gratefully acknowledge, with sincere thanks, #

the splendid co-operation, sympathetic help, and guidance giveng
us by Synod’s President, Synod’s Board of Directors, Synod’sj
Committee on Colleges, and Board for Higher Education. Wej
bespeak for our school and all other schools of learning maintainedJ
by our Church, Synod’s continued prayers and participation forg
the strengthening and widening of their kingdom-building pro-
