Concordia Teachers’ College, Seward, Nebr.
(Extract from the Report of the Board.)

Two of the professors granted by the last convention have been
called and inducted into office. Asst. Prof. W. Hellwege and Prof.
Theo. Stelzer, who succeeded Prof. H. B. Fehner in the practise-
school, were installed January 23, 1927. The new chair was filled by
calling Prof. W. F. Kruse. The vacancy caused by the illness and
resignation of Prof. F. Strieter, who died at Davenport, Iowa, on
- December 15, 1927, has not yet been filled, despite repeated calls. As

far as possible, the other members of the faculty have conducted the
_ classes which the new professor is to teach. By rearranging the music
. instruction the faculty is attempting to carry on the necessary work
with three assistant professors less.

Following is the attendance: —

The refectory which was granted in 1923 was completed in 1927,
being dedicated early in January. Of the buildings appropriated in
1926 only the practise-school was recently begun.

Requests.

Our dormitories are overcrowded; more than forty students had
to sleep in the basement. We therefore request that the dormitory
‘which has already been granted be not now denied us. We also need
cement sidewalks between the Administration Building, with the other
“buildings, and the professors’ residences. The erection of the new
dormitory will also necessitate the extension of the heating-plant
which was granted in 1926. The heating-plant could be operated
more satisfactorily if the steam pipes were laid in tunnels, where
‘Jeaks could be discovered and repaired. The tops of the tunnels could
also serve as cement walks. The last convention appropriated $5,000
for a laboratory, much apparatus being needed to meet the require-
