The estimate of cost of this plan, according to conservative
estimates, would be in the neighborhood of $20,000 to $21,000, in-
cluding equipment and furnishings. If Synod would advance this
amount at a low rate of interest, it would be possible for Concordia
Teachers’ College to amortize the amount received, in receipts and
rentals, over a period of years.

The second plan suggested is that we erect a new building at
an estimated cost of $60,000. Synod would give an outright grant
of $30,000, and Concordia Teachers’ College would amortize $30,000

Under either plan we would house the girls and charge them
the same rate they are paying now in private homes, and in this
way it would be possible to repay Synod as stated in the fore-
going plans.

Concordia College was founded in Perry County, Mo., in the
year 1839 and thus may be considered a pioneer of higher education;
for when Concordia was founded, there were fewer than one
hundred institutions worthy of the name of college in the entire
country. The story of Concordia is a fragment of the epic of the
