"As we prepare to render our dutiful report to the Reverend Synod, we
would first like to say that we are deeply thankful to God for having held
his protective hand over our institution and for repeatedly letting us
experience his gracious help.

"The state of health of the students in the past three years was, God
be praised, good. The sickroom was rarely put to use. No deaths occurred
at all. The spirit prevailing among the students is likewise, by God's
grace, such as one expects where the Word of God holds sway.

"We must testify of our professors that they have administered their
office, according to the gifts given them, with complete faithfulness and
conscientiousness.
