Ev. Luth. Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States. 1917. . 25

ST. JOHN’S COLLEGE AT WINFIELD, KANS.

The Board of Supervision reported in substance: —

The Lord has been with us and blessed us and blessed our work
’ in every respect. The number of students preparing for the ministry
. has increased. The new dormitory granted us by the last Synod
~ has been erected, and the old building has been remodeled into
“a satisfactory lecture-hall. Through the kind help of our fellow-
Christians we were also enabled to build a gymnasium.

While St. John’s College, like all our synodical Colleges, aims
primarily to prepare young men for the ministry, it, in addition,
offers an academic course to girls, and besides conducts a Business
Department. This Department, whilst under the control of the
‘Board of Supervision and the Director, is conducted without any ex-
pense to Synod; in fact, the sum of $250 was paid in the past three
years into the synodical treasury as rent for the use of certain
rooms. The enrolment at present is: Pupils in the College course,
109 (including 9 girls); pupils in the Business Department, 36 (in-
“eluding 16 girls).
