58 Proceedings of the 28th General or

...to remodel. This assembly hall takes up part of the second and third
floors of the dormitory building. If the second and third floors were
divided by a floor and the windows changed, several nice rooms would be
gained, giving us sleeping quarters for 25 to 30 students. The old windows
of the assembly hall need to be replaced in any case. This alteration would
cost about $1,200.00. We kindly request this appropriation.

Several major repairs need to be made to various buildings. For instance,
some new painting should be done on the new instruction building. This work
would require $1,000.00. We would like to request this sum as well.

The following appropriations were made for the institution at Fort Wahne
[i.e. Fort Wayne, Ind.]:

1. The expenditure of $1,662.05 for building a tunnel for the heating
system's pipes was approved, and this sum was subsequently authorized.

2. For the construction of a new dining hall, $12,000.00 to $14,000.00 was
authorized;

3. for finishing out the old assembly hall, $1,200.00;

4. for other necessary repairs and for painting the woodwork, $1,000.00.

Resolved, that the trustees of the so-called college farm at Fort Wahne be
authorized, with the consent of the district presidents, to sell this
property either in part or in whole.

Concordia Gymnasium at Milwaukee, Wis.

The report submitted by this institution's esteemed board of oversight
read as follows:

In accordance with the instruction of the Reverend Synod, the undersigned
board hereby submits its report on Concordia College at Milwaukee, Wis.

Beginning with the faculty, we have to report that a change has taken
place among them since the last synod. Prof. E. Hamann, who served the
institution with self-sacrificing faithfulness for 28 years, found himself
in recent years hindered in the discharge of his office by a serious
hearing ailment, and submitted his resignation on May 25, 1910. After a
lengthy vacancy, the professorship was filled again by Prof. A. E.
Bergmann, who was installed in his office on February 13, 1911. The
faculty applies its best ability and full zeal toward sending the seminary
in St. Louis well-prepared students. Two of the professors were privileged
to celebrate the jubilee of their 25 years of service at the institution
during the past triennium, namely Professors Müller and Hattstädt.
