roofed, and at once. The estimated cost for this comes to about
$1400.00. An addition to part of Prof. Böcler's residence, containing two
bedrooms and a bathroom, should be built so that more room is created

5. Six years ago, and again three years ago, the board of control
asked the Reverend Synod to establish and fill a sixth professorship here.
We refrain from repeating this request, because two memorials
concerning this institution will be before the Reverend Synod. The
memorial from the Iowa District concerns the establishment of a third
pro-seminary class and the sixth professorship thereby made necessary.
The memorial from the Central Illinois District concerns the
establishment of a sixth professorship without increasing the number of
classes. We ask the Reverend Synod to examine and thoroughly discuss
both of these memorials, which aim at the welfare of the institution and
thereby also the welfare of the Church. We are also convinced that the
Reverend Synod, by adopting one or the other memorial, will further the
institution in a splendid way.

The board of control returns its office into the hands of the Synod in
the awareness that, for all its weakness and despite the great amount of
work it has had in discharging its office during this triennium, it has
nevertheless discharged it to the best of its knowledge and ability, and
with the plea to God that He would continue to bless this institution,
which has become so dear to us, and let it be a splendid means for the
spread and advancement of His kingdom on earth. —

Resolved, to make the following appropriations: for a new service
building, $12,000.00; for a new kitchen range, $300.00; for repairs to
the new building (No. 2), a total sum of $1350.00 (namely, for painting
all the woodwork inside and out, $500.00; for plaster work, $250.00; for
repair of windows and doors, $250.00; for wiring and fixtures, $350.00);
for repairs to the professors' residences, $1400.00; and for the addition
to part of Prof. Böcler's residence, $600.00 (total sum: $2000.00).

Regarding the various motions for expanding the pro-seminary and
calling a further professor, it was resolved: a. to refrain from
establishing a third pro-seminary class; b. to grant the appointment of
an assistant teacher for the pro-seminary.
