campus, it becomes important to have an adequate instrument for
the chapel which will also serve instructional purposes. Fr.
At the request of the Board of Control the music department |;
made a careful study of our needs, and it recommends the pur- =:
chase of an instrument for which we request an appropriation ‘
of $40,000. ,
6. Curbing, paving, and landscaping. The beautiful campus and
the fine buildings on it stand in need of curbing for drives, paving 4
of some heavily traveled streets, and landscaping. Most sidewalks 4
on the campus are not wide enough for the large numbers now 4
using them. Others are poorly laid and are safety hazards. A rela- 3
tively small amount invested on street and walk improvement will 4
add materially to the beauty, utility, and safety of the property.
A request for $20,000 is made to allow for the most urgent : 4
needs. ‘

7. St. John’s Lutheran School. The parochial school of St. John’s ‘&
Congregation has enjoyed a fine growth in recent years. It has E
reached a point where the congregation is considering extensive 4
additions. In fact, the plan is to double the present capacity and ‘4
to build a gymnasium as well. 4

This development is fortunate for Concordia College, since 4
this school serves as the campus training school. The enlarged 4
school will be better able to accommodate the larger number of 4
students who receive training and experience there. Be

The congregation is keeping the needs and requirements of 4
the teacher-training program in mind in the planning. Some pro-'
visions will be of direct value to this program.

The request that Synod authorize and empower the Board
Directors and the Board for Higher Education to share in the con
struction of this building as the interest of Synod may indicates
will be found in a separate memorial.

8. The adoption of a policy on professorial housing. The Bos dy
of Control of this institution has submitted a plan to the Board foré
Higher Education whereby it would be possible for members
the faculty to purchase their own homes on easy terms. As the
staff continues to grow, housing becomes a bigger problem. Realiz#
ing that this is no simple matter, we request that the Board:
Directors be authorized to work out a fair and equitable plan
conjunction with the Board for Higher Education and the lo
Boards of Control of the institutions to enable faculty membe:
to purchase or build homes.

9. The steady growth of secondary schools in Synod must ily
us with joy. With their development comes the problem of staffs
ing these high schools. Concordia Teachers College is keen
