Ev. Luth.. Synod of. Missouri, Ohio, and Other. States, 1935. 65.

. ' Faculty. . .,

Though our Faculty members have been laboring under financial
stress, they have nevertheless. continued. to put forth their best efforts .
in the classroom. Their work was highly complimented by the Ven.
President of Synod during his recent visit at the institution. May
the day’ soon come when our noble professors will have their salaries
restored in full! Sickness, and even death, found its way among the
Faculty. Dr. H. Stein lost his beloved wife last year. Prof. T. Haus-
mann was taken seriously ill, and his wife as well as the wife of
Dr. Romoser had to undergo serious operations, but with the Lord’s
help have successfully endured them.

Two changes have taken place in the Faculty for the Lutheran
Education Society courses. Rev. Hugo Wolter, M. A., who resigned as
assistant instructor to take up teaching elsewhere, has been succeeded
by Mr. H. Platzer, graduate of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis; and
Mr. Norman Waldon, Physical Training Director, has been replaced
by Mr. Wm. Kinsky, M. A., also a graduate of St. Louis.

During the last triennium Dr. H. Stein and Prof. L. Heinrichs-
meyer celebrated their fortieth and twenty-fifth anniversaries, respec-
tively, as professors at the institution. May the Lord continue to bless
the services of these men!

Prof. H. Proeh] has been leader of the students’ chorus and of
the Musical Department.

th Board of Control. wa

The Board of Control held its regular monthly meetings and
endeavored to discharge its duties to the best of its knowledge and
ability. It has given much time and careful consideration to the up-
keep of Synod’s property. Mr. Herman Schroeder, who for eight years
faithfully served the institution as a member of the Board, but felt
constrained to..resign due to stress of business, was succeeded in
October, 1932, by Mr. James L. Kemp, who since has proved himself
a very valuable asset to the Board.

Incorporation.

In the State of New York as in many other States educational
institutions that are the property of foreign corporations do not enjoy
the privilege of tax exemption. Heretofore nothing has been done to
carry out this provision of the law. At present, however, strenuous
efforts are being made to revise the list of tax-exempt properties. Our
Bronxville ‘school is threatened with a heavy tax burden. According
to the tax rates and the assessed value of the: property this would
amount to approximately $30,000 a year. So:

In order to obviate this danger, your Board of Control has peti-
tioned Synod’s Board of Directors to incorporate Bronxville under
the laws of the State-of New. York.: Synod’s Board of Directors,
