"1. By God's grace, the moral condition of the institution was on
the whole quite satisfactory. As regards health, our institution was
visited two years ago by scarlet fever and, this past year, by a
case of smallpox; but in both cases everything was done, so far as
lies within human power, to vigorously prevent the disease from
spreading further. — The professorship left vacant by Prof.
Jürgensen's resignation has been filled again, to our full
satisfaction, by Dr. H. Wolläger, and the professors as well as the
assistant teachers have, to the best of our conviction, administered
their office with fidelity, diligence, and conscientiousness.

"The institution's enrollment was:

"2. Since the need for a prompt expansion of Concordia College at
St. Paul was already acknowledged at the meeting of the Reverend
General Synod in Milwaukee, and since in our judgment the present
state of the Church likewise requires it under current
circumstances, we take the liberty, in case the synod should decide
to raise our institution here to a full gymnasium, of submitting a
few proposals to it. We would first like to note that we have used
up neither the $1500.00 granted to us at St. Louis after the fire at
our main building, nor the $5000.00 granted at Milwaukee; of
the latter sum, in fact, we have spent only $3146.69. In view of the
state of the synod's treasuries, we believed we should carry out
only the most absolutely necessary construction. Nevertheless we
have kept our promise to house 130 students.
