Action Regarding Individual Institutions 66,

Graduate F. Zucker is serving at present as assistant instructor.

We have come to take the manifold duties of our faculties and
synodical workers with a matter of fact complacency; but your
Board believes that a word of gratitude and praise for the cheerful
manner in which the additional burdens were assumed during this
triennium by the members of our faculty is well in place.

Student-Body. —In general, conditions of health have offered
no serious problems, and the maturity of the students has made it
possible to enforce the necessary discipline without difficulty.

treasurer, resigned his office, and Mr. John Rodenburg was ap~
pointed to succeed him. Two other members, Messrs. O. H. Droste
and E. W. Schulze, were added to the Board.

Regular monthly and special meetings, whenever required,
were held, and the affairs of the institution were conducted in the
