(Report of the Board. Condensed.— German Report, p. 58.)

Due to the overcrowded conditions the Board of Control felt com-
pelled to restrict the number of students. This fact accounts for the
decrease in the enrolment. The new dormitory being available, it is
expected that the number of students will steadily grow. The new
professorship for history and English created at the last convention
was filled by calling Prof. E.H. Engelbrecht. Upon his resignation,
after serving a year and a half, Rev. R. Hope was called. Two changes
have occurred in the Board of Control: Mr. Wm. Wieda entered his
heavenly rest, while Rev. Wm. Koepchen was forced to resign owing
to ill health. Their places were filled by Mr. Fred Overbeck and
Rev. Arthur Brunn. A residence was built for President Romoser at
a cost of $20,200. Of this sum $2,200 was privately raised. The new
dormitory was erected for $125,000. Corridors between the two dor-
mitories and the administration building cost $8,307 additional. An
athletic field was purchased at a cost of $16,500. The expenses con-
nected with the purchase amounted to $282. The Board of Directors
voted $8,000 additional for the necessary grading. This sum was not
sufficient to put the ground into shape. Additional expenses are
earried locally. - ,
