Tenth Delegate Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States, 1902. 43

...owing to physical infirmity, resigned. Mr. G. Dickler, who is at the
same time cook and baker, took his place.

"We have no request for new buildings to bring before the Synod. We
would only like to recall that the Synod resolution already passed in
1896, concerning the foundation work on the first wooden building, should
now be carried out, if the building is not to suffer great damage. Also,
something should be done about the four professors' residences, which are
built of brick and are very damp. We submit to the Reverend Synod for its
kind consideration that these dwellings be made more habitable either by
installing "furnace" heating and painting the outside walls, or by lining
the rooms with a new interior wall.

"Finally, we take the liberty of reporting that the institution's
bequests have, by resolution of the Reverend Synod, been securely
invested. A bequest from Mr. J. H. Henninghaus of Chapin, Ill., in the
amount of $100.00, less the "inheritance tax" of $3.00, has been invested
according to the determination of the Board of Control.

"May our school of the prophets, too, be and remain 'a seed blessed by
the Lord'!" (Report of the Board of Control at Springfield, Ill.)

1. Resolved, that the Board of Control of the seminary at Springfield,
Ill., be charged with having all repairs to the institution, the
drying-out of the professors' residences, the foundation work on the
first wooden building, central heating, etc., carried out according to
the plans of the architect Haynes, for which work the Synod grants the
sum of $11,500.00.

2. Resolved, that the motion asking the Synod to rescind the
resolution that the number of students at the Springfield institution
shall not exceed 175 be declined.

Teachers' Seminary at Addison, Ill.

"First of all we have high cause to praise God's goodness, which has
watched over our seminary during the past three years as well. To it we
owe thanks that the state of health during the last triennium was, on the
whole, satisfactory; only in December 1900, and again in February and
March 1901, did many students have influenza. — The dear professors, too,
God has kept in continued health despite their heavy workload. The one
exception to this is Prof. Lindemann, who in 1901 was prevented by
illness for several months from giving his lectures; but since the
beginning of the present school year he has, thank God, been able to
resume his teaching work at the seminary in full.

"As to the spirit and conduct of the students of our institution, it must
be reported that, regrettably, various outbursts among them have not
