will grant us an amount of money sufficient to erect at least two
professors’ residences.

4, The decreased enrolment at our institution, the depression,
the difficulty in balancing the budget in the commissary depart-
ment, have prompted us to open our institution for conventions,
banquets, etc. We feel that, as long as this is kept in proper bounds,
there should be no objection, but we ask for an expression of
opinion thereon.

Request for Permission to Remodel “Old Main” College Building
at St. Paul, Minn.
(Unprinted Memorial 108)

A number of congregations of the Synodical Conference in
St. Paul, Minn., have for some time investigated the possibility of
a Central Lutheran Christian day-school. After careful examina-
tion of other available buildings in the city the committee repre-
senting these congregations has come to the conclusion that the
so-called “Old Main” building on the college campus would be
most suitable for that purpose.

Upon the request of this committee the Board of Control of
Concordia College had blue-prints made which show that the
building would accommodate eight classrooms with a seating
capacity of 365 pupils. The cost of remodeling the building has been
estimated at $24,500. The Central School Committee is proposing
that the congregations pay for this remodeling. The Board of Con-
trol at St. Paul recommended that the request of the St. Paul
Lutheran congregations be granted.
