40 Proceedings of Thirty-Fifth Regular Convention,

Concordia College, Fort Wayne, Ind.
(Memorial 105.)

With thankful hearts we may report that the work of our ingtj
tution has been carried on under God’s gracious Protection and
guidance without any serious disturbances. or interruptions,
enrolment has not been as high as in years past, but wit only few
exceptions our graduates have all entered the St. Louis

Ming
for the study of theology. Our present enrolment ig 295. We have
room to house more students and would welcome an increase in the

enrolment.

Our Faculty has had two changes in the last triennium,
Geo. Schmidt resigned, and the former Assistant Prof. E, |,
was elected and installed into office as professor in September,
We have at present twelve professors and one student aggij

We have but small requests to make for appropriations,
asking only for what we think absolutely necessary. ‘

Many of the bottom rails of the iron fence enclosing our campus
are rusted out and must be replaced to preserve the fence. 100 rails
are necessary for this. The cost of the rails is $250 and the cost of
labor to replace them also $250, making a total of $500 for this item.

The center drive from Maumee Avenue is only 12 feet wide.
That is too narrow for present-day conditions, and it means a con-
stant hazard. If in case of a fire a car should be parked in the
driveway, it would be impossible for fire-engines to pass. We ask for
an appropriation of $806 to make it a 15-foot drive.

A part of the sidewalk on the south side of our buildings, from
the south entrance to Hanser Hall to the south entrance to Schick
Hall, should be taken up and relayed. There are two dangerous steps
in it that should be eliminated. The cost of this would be $61.
‘We ask that this be granted.

Maumee Avenue has been widened by the city, and the pavement
‘comes close to our sidewalk. Our walk is higher than the pavement,
and we have an offset in places of from two to three feet. This makes
it not only very unsightly, but extremely dangerous for pedestrians.
Our walk from Center Drive to Schick Street should be lowered,
which requires that a lawn terrace be laid between the walk and the
fence. The cost of sidewalk and laying of terrace would be $900.
We very earnestly ask that this be granted.

Total sum requested, $2,267.

Respectfully,

THE Boarp or Conrtrot.
