The following served on the Board during the past triennium: Prof.
M. S. Sommer, chairman; Rev. L. Buchheimer, secretary; Teacher
H. F. Bade; Rey. J. G. F. Kleinhans ; and Rev. Alfred Doerfiler,

During the triennium we have held regular monthly meetings.
Extra meetings did not appear necessary, but committees of the
Board, especially very often committees of one, expedited our work
materially by putting in considerable extra time reading and review-
