44 Proceedings of the 26th General or

"2. Concerning the student body. It was gratifyingly large.
The following figures show the institution's enrollment: school
year 1902 to 1903: 232; 1903 to 1904: 249; 1904 to 1905: 250.
Of these students, 21, 29, and 30 respectively came to us from the
preparatory schools [Progymnasien]. — That in the past three-year
period the expulsion of only one student was necessary, and that
apart from the case mentioned the faculty found it necessary only
once to consult the board on a disciplinary matter, is surely proof
that the disciplinary means of God's Word, applied without
ceasing, has not lost its power, and that the students let
themselves be guided by it. — The students' state of health was,
with a few exceptions, very good; no death left a gap among them.

"3. Concerning the heating plant resolved on three years ago.
The synod had appropriated $5000.00 for this. By taking
advantage of a favorable moment, however, we succeeded in
installing the heating for the sum of $4092.27.

"4. Concerning the alteration of the college campus and a
building for dormitories. Already in 1896 the Reverend Synod
authorized the board to act at its best discretion, in the interest
of the synod, in the negotiations with the city of Milwaukee over
the cutting-through of State Street. The cutting-through of that
street, then projected by the city, has now been carried out. As a
result, part of our former campus has been cut off and the
playground considerably reduced. As compensation we were given
a lot across the way measuring 250x165 feet. This land that has
come to us does not, however, offer the space wanted for a
ballfield, which our students really ought to have. Such a field
can only be obtained if the director's residence, the gymnasium,
the hospital, and the barn are placed elsewhere. For these changes
we have obtained a bid amounting to $3300.00. This sum includes
all expenses caused by the moving of the buildings named. —
It should further be reported here that your board has bought a
lot adjoining the college campus to the northeast, 80x120 feet, for
$5200.00, with the intention of moving one or another of the
buildings named — probably the director's residence — there.
The synod, however, is not meant to be burdened with this sum;
rather, your board intends to sell part of the lot across the way
that has come to us in order to
