Seminaries and Colleges. — Individual Institutions 51

At the time of the meeting of the Board for Higher Education
with the Standing Advisory Committee, February 13—15, 1941, a
statement was made that “no plant additions or other significant
developments be undertaken in any institution ... before the close
of the synodical convention in 1944.”

As a result of this position of the Board for Higher Education
the Faculty and Board of Control of Concordia Teachers’ College
withheld its request for dormitory accommodations. However, the
need remains and is becoming ever more urgent. We have there-
fore resolved to petition Synod, even at this late date, to assist us
in making more adequate provision for the housing of woman
students.

Three proposals have beén under consideration, and we sin-
cerely petition Synod to grant us one of the following alternatives:

1. That Synod appropriate the necessary funds for the erection
of a Women’s Building. ,

2. That Synod provide sufficient funds to reconstruct one of our
present buildings and make it suitable for the housing of women.
This will limit the enrolment of male students.

3. That Synod permit River Forest to solicit funds for a
Women’s Building through private endeavor (as is being done by
other institutions at this time).

In submitting its report to Synod for the period of 1938 to
1941 the Board of Control of Concordia Teachers’ College must
mention the change in its membership. Mr. Paul Herpolsheimer,
who had served the Board faithfully for many years as treasurer,
was called to his reward November 14, 1940. Mr. A.C. Beck was
appointed to succeed him.

The Board of Control held regular meetings every month. and
many special meetings; also a number of meetings with the faculty.
Besides, special problems were first discussed in committees, and
these then made reports and recommendations to the Board.
