154 Proceedings of the Forty-Third Convention,

school with equipment it could not otherwise afford. A list of
donors during the last two years reveals gifts coming from eight
States, and including 16 cities,

Nor are the congregations served by the school lacking in
interest. The Lutheran Association for Higher Education, made
up of Lutherans of the Alabama Field, makes an annual contribu-
tion for the benefit of the Academy-College. The annual Christmas
offering is usually designated for some Academy purpose. At pres-
ent the Field’s 39 congregations are seeking to raise a fund of
$20,000 for the erection of a new Boys’ Dormitory. Those acquainted
with the Alabama Field will well realize the tremendous nature of
this project. It will take years for the congregations to accomplish

is aim.

We encourage our Lutherans throughout the Synodical Con-
ference to remember the Academy in their prayers and with their
gifts. $150 will provide a one-year scholarship for some needy and
appreciative boy or girl. Gifts, large or small, will help purchase
such necessary items as science equipment, maps, globes, and
much-needed office equipment.

Alabama Lutheran Academy-College is governed by a Board
of Control made up of Rev. Wm. G. Kennell (Pensacola), chairman;
Rev. A. Dominick (Mobile), secretary; Rev. Wm. H. Jones (Mo-
bile); Rev. Chas. Graeber (Holy Ark); Mr. Posey Williams
(Selma); and Mr. C. E. Henderson (Jackson, Miss.). The Rev. W. H.
Ellwanger, president of the school, is advisory member. The Board
meets four times a year and is directly responsible to the Mission-
ary Board. There is close contact between the local Board and
the Field’s Pastoral Conference.

A perusal of the submitted 1954—1955 budget drawn up by the
Board of Control, together with the request for subsidy from the
Synodical Conference, will reveal the reasonablesness of the recom-
mendations. Considering what is being accomplished by this Lu-
theran school, it can well be seen that the Synodical Conference is
realizing much from the money invested. The Board of Control
submits the following budget and request for subsidy:
