52 Proceedings of the 29th General or

-nary at St. Louis, Prof. E. Pardieck left the teaching faculty. To the
vacant professorship, Mr. P. Wm. Arndt of Brooklyn, N.Y. was called,
and he accepted the call and has since worked with great blessing at
our institution. Further, since Director J. H. C. Käppel was ailing and
overburdened with work and had to spend a lengthy time in a hospital,
and since our teachers were overburdened with giving hours and asked
for relief, the board was compelled to hire an assistant teacher, which
it did with the consent of the General President and the General
Board, by engaging a candidate for the preaching ministry for two
years, until the Synod's meeting time. In the conviction that an
additional teacher is needed at our gymnasium, and at the particular
request of the local faculty, the board of control therefore addresses
to the Reverend Synod the request that this our institution be granted
a seventh professor.

Finally we must also report that Mr. P. Friedrich Rohlfing, who for a
long time served as the deputy of the president on the board of
control, had to resign from that position due to illness. In his place
President J. J. Bernthal appointed Vice-President P. Fr. Brust of
Concordia as his deputy. Further, Mr. Fr. Kück resigned as a member of
the board after many years of service. The board filled the vacancy by
electing Mr. Thees Hinck of Concordia.

Finally, let it be noted that a rare event could be celebrated at our
institution, namely the silver anniversary in office of Prof. J. H. C.
Käppel as director of our institution.

Resolutions.

Resolved, that the sum of $2500 granted three years ago for a hospital
be paid out.

Resolved, to grant $1500 for the necessary addition to the dining hall.

(On assistant teachers, see p. 67.)

Committee 1, at the request of the board of control in Concordia,
recorded for the minutes that it had declined a larger appropriation
only because of the great shortage in the building fund, but expects
all the more favorable a response from the Delegate Synod over the
next three years in return.

Concordia Gymnasium at Bronxville, N.Y.

Concerning this institution, the following communications reached the
Synod through the esteemed secretary of the honorable board of control
in New York City:

With hearts full of thanks we look back on a triennium of shared labor
and shared blessing. In the period now behind us as well, the Lord our
God has proven himself a God on whom one can rely. He has kept his
