Administration-Library-Auditorium Building

at Concordia College, Fort Wayne, Ind.

Concordia College at Fort Wayne,
theological preparatory school, naturally has some buildings whi
have been in use for many decades. The old Administration Build;
ing was erected in 1856, almost a century ago, and in the course |
time has been used as a dormitory and classroom building and &
one time partly as a faculty residence. At present it houses som
of the offices, the bookstore, and some of the music facilities. Thi
building is old, inadequate, inconvenient, and not fireproof. Th
Registrar’s offices are in cramped quarters and must be locate
on the second floor, to which access can be gained only by meat
irway. The business offices have inadequa

of a long, narrow stai
space. The President's offices must be located in another buildin
The centralization of administrative offices and facilities is impo

sible under the present conditions. Other educational faciliti
desirable for modern educational administration and guidance 4
impossible unless a new pbuilding is provided. As one of the t
top consistent producers of ministerial students, we are laggi
behind other synodical schools in physical facilities.
