Ev. Luth. Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States. 1935. 61

Six years ago the Delegate Synod appropriated the sum of $2,750
for painting and improving the acoustics of our chapel. We now have
a remarkably low offer by which the entire job can be completed
for $1,100. Since Synod recognized the need of this improvement
even six years ago, and since our chapel truly presents a disgraceful
appearance, it is hoped that Synod will not only appropriate the
comparatively small sum mentioned, but that this sum will be made
available at once.

2. Consolidation of Libraries. Approximate cost, $1,350.

At the present time we have two libraries. For the good of the
school we should like to combine them. This can be done by con-
verting what is now the students’ library and reading-room into
a library proper and using an adjoining room, now used as pool-room,
for reference library and reading-room, transferring the pool-tables
into the basement-room, now used as a museum, and transferring the
museum into the space made available in the Administration Building
through the removal of the professors’ library. This change would
cost approximately $1,350 and would call for no change in the con-
struction of the building except the relocation of two doors. Since
thig would make all our books available for the students, we are cer-
tain that the increased educational advantages more than justify this
expenditure. Our Faculty also strongly recommends it, and we know
that this arrangement has been found very practical at. other
institutions.

3. New Boiler. Present cost, $3,650.

One of our boilers is of such construction that under our laws it
can be used only twenty years under full load. In 1937 we shall in
all probability be compelled to buy and install a new boiler.
