Vote of Thanks for Prof. W. i. T. Dau, D. D.

The Board of Control called attention to the loss our St. Louis 4

Seminary suffered because Dr. Dau had accepted the call as President
of Valparaiso University, the first Lutheran University of America.

On recommendation of Committee 1, Synod passed the following
resolutions : —

“1, Synod expresses to Dr. Dau its sincere thanks for the faithful
and valuable services which for many years he rendered our Church
as professor of our theological seminary, as editor-in-chief of the
Theological Monthly, and as contributor to our other synodical pub-
lications,

“2, Synod wishes Dr. Dau God’s richest blessings in the arduous 4

duties of his new position.”

* Excess expenditures were made by the Board of Directors at almost e.

every institution owing to the fact that the appropriations ‘for buildings
made at Fort Wayne never carried an appropriation for equipment. If
these excess expenditures had not been allowed, practically all new build-

‘ings would have stood idle for lack of equipment.
