(Memorial 107)

The Board of Trustees’ of Concordia College, St. Paul, Minn.,
hereby presents its triennial report.

Our enrolment for the last three years has been as follows:
1935, 170; 1936, 154; 1937, 144.

Owing to the decreased enrolment the faculty was able to do
all necessary work without filling the existing vacancy. In a gen-
eral way the health condition among the faculty and the student-
body has been very good, and we believe that the student-body as
a whole is willingly guided by the Word of God.

In 1935 we requested that our chapel be painted and its acous-
tics improved and that our libraries be consolidated. These re-
quests were referred to the Board of Directors, which granted both
of them. They were carried out at a cost slightly below the
estimate.

Another improvement was the installation of a stoker under
one of our boilers, which is now in operation for its first season.
Our plant is in fair physical condition. We have three modern, fire-
proof buildings, which require no repairs on which Synod has to
pass. Something must be done, however, to our old group of
buildings. These are between seventy and eighty years old. They
were built by the State of Minnesota and were well built, so that
they are today basically in very good condition. They require,
however, some reconditioning, and your Board suggests that one
of these dormitories, the so-called South Building, be reconditioned
now. No structural changes and no rearrangement of rooms is
asked for. One supporting post must be replaced on account of
dry-rot; much new flooring must be laid; much woodwork re-
placed; window-sashes and window-frames either repaired or
