by them with the present enrolment. Your local Board does not
deem it necessary to call another man at this time.

Since the last convention of Synod at Milwaukee we have leased
our athletic field for oil production. We have two producing wells
on our property. The wells are so located that they do not interfere
with other activities on the field. Although oil production has been
materially curtailed by law, our income from the oil wells up to
January 1, 1935, was $5,705.85.

We also note a special donation to St.John’s. An endowment
of $7,035 was made for a girls’ dormitory. The donors do not wish
their names published at this time.

Synod’s property and buildings at Winfield are in good condition.
The local Board requests no special appropriations.

Respectfully submitted by

THE Boarp or Controt or St. Joun’s CoLLEcE.
P.O. Kraus, Chairman.

No appropriations being requested, no action was necessary.

In connection with the report of the Committee on Higher
Education, Synod resolved to continue Winfield primarily as a junior
college for ministerial students. The introduction of the proposed
curriculum is not to suffer any interference by the other interests
now served at Winfield.

Concordia College, Conover, N.C.
(Memorial 111.)

The closing triennium has been one of increased difficulty even
for Concordia College of Conover, N.C. The threat of closure, now.
perennial for over thirty years, became a real menace with its outright
recommendation by the Committee of Thirteen, broadcast throughout
Synod. Whilst for years this threat has deterred the possible develop-
ment of the institution and hindered year after year its otherwise
possible enrolment, during the last triennium it well-nigh spelled the
institution’s destruction. There is left to us now practically only
a ministerial enrolment. Owing to the uncertainty of the institution’s
life and the antiquated state of its material equipment over against
the up-to-date facilities now surrounding us, our institution has lost
its general coeducational enrolment.
