SEMINARIES AND COLLEGES 89

ship of $250 annually has been instituted as well as an alumni
scholarship for the same amount. The Lutheran Aid Association
has offered $1,000 in scholarships for the next school year. These
scholarships apply to tuition costs only.

In January of 1954 a painting of Dr. Walter A. Maier was
unveiled and installed in the Walter A. Maier Library as a gift
from his widow.

In December 1955 our High School football team accepted the
invitation of the Cuban Amateur Football Federation to play in
the Cuban Sugar Cane Bowl on December 30 against the champion
amateur team of Cuba. Expenses for the trip were borne in part
by the inviting host and in part by friends of the school. About
50 players, coaches, supervisors, and parents made the trip, which
served to promote good relations as well as the cause of the
Lutheran Church.

Plans for Plant Development

Ever since Stein Hall was converted into a dormitory for
women teacher-training students, we have had no adequate place
to conduct our music program. Plans have been drawn for the
erection of a music building adjacent to our service area. The
cost will be approximately $48,000 and will be borne locally. The
Lutheran Education Society, which has already contributed $7,500
for this purpose, intends to raise an additional $10,000 among its
constituents for our new music building.

Plans are under way to change our steam boiler plant from
a high-pressure to a low-pressure unit, thereby effecting an annual
saving in wages of about $5,000. Estimated cost of the change-over
is $14,230.

Numerous other items of plant development, considered neces-
sary for the proper maintenance and expansion of our school, have
been submitted for study to the Board for Higher Education.

As in past trienniums our various supporting agencies, who
for so long a time have given us substantial aid, have again assisted
us most generously in carrying on our work by contributing an
aggregate amount in excess of $20,000.

Service to Synod

Inasmuch as the plans of Synod for ministerial education
included the closing of our Fort Wayne Concordia in the near
future, our Bronxville Concordia wishes to assure Synod of our
readiness to serve the congregations of that area to the utmost of
our ability.

During the past triennium many activities of the church at
large took place on our campus, as the following will indicate.
