$220027.85

Toward the above we received $41,929.91 from the sale of the .
Hawthorne property; from the Synod $40,000 for a college building, «.
$500 for cement walks, and $2,800 for finishing the third floor of
the Administration Building. From the Eastern District we: re-
ceived $5,613.87; and all the remainder, $129,184.07, came from
congregations, individuals, and societies (much of it through the -
Lutheran Education Society) in the Atlantie District.

The 1911 Delegate Synod authorized us to erect six residences
for professors, if we could advance the money on satisfactory loans, -
provided the residences would not exceed $6,000 apiece. But we
had to expend $41,037.75 on the six residences. The excess of
$5,037.75 will be covered by the Board through private subscriptions.
_ Synod has paid us to date $24,000 of its share, owing us.at present
~ $12,000. ,

The sewer connecting the professors’ residences with the town
sewer cost us $1,270.08, which cost Synod should assume. As our
water-bills are very high, we believe Synod would save money if we
were to establish our own water-supply.

ACTION.

Synod ordered a seventh regular professorship established at
this school.

The expenditure of $1,270.08 for a sewer was ratified, and the
cost ordered paid out of Synod’s funds.

The. question of establishing a water-plant for the institution
was referred back to the local Board, with power to act in conjunction
with the General Board. . -

The Lutheran Education Society of New York was given a
hearty vote of thanks for its splendid support of this school, and
was encouraged to continue its good work.
