- 40 Proceedings of Thirty-Third Regular Convention,

On the death of Mr. F. Christjaener, a member of our Board of
Control, Mr. Benjamin Sundermann, of Seward, was elected his
successor. . .

The building operations authorized in 1923 have been completed
with the exception of the service building, which is under con-
struction.

Requirements.
1. The large increase in our enrolment makes necessary two

additional dormitories, one for the coming year, and another one will
be needed in 1927.

2. We ask Synod to approve the calling of an additional pro-
fessor, whom the College of Presidents encouraged us to. call, and to
grant us three additional professors.

3. We need $8,500 for a large organ, $6, 000 for two practise
organs, and $2,000 for six new pianos.

4, To meet present requirements of the State of Nebraska, we
need $5,000 adequately to equip our laboratories. .

5. Prof. Fehner’s residence ought to be equipped with basement
and furnace, which will cost about $2,800.

6. A new practise school is an absolute necessity; cost, $15,000.

Resolved: — Action.

1. To approve the excess expenditure of $56,544.25.

2. In view of the excess appropriation needed and the financial
situation obtaining in Synod, to grant Seward only one dormitory,
costing $125,000.

3. To appropriate $16,500 for organs and pianos.

4. To appropriate $28,000 for a heating-plant.

5. To appropriate $15,000 for the erection of a practise school,
since a practise school is absolutely necessary for the education of
teachers and the present arrangement is utterly unsatisfactory.

6. To approve the request concerning Prof. Fehner’s residence
and to appropriate $2,800 as desired.

7. To authorize the expenditure of up to $5,000 for a laboratory.
