Pastors’ Institute
The annual institute for pastors, teachers, and other church-
workers will convene at St. Paul’s College from June 10—13.
We consider it our duty to keep before your Hon. Body the
need of a new administration building. As soon as Synod finds
its way clear to erect new buildings, its first consideration ought
to be a new administration building at Concordia, Mo.

Report of Board of Control
(Memorial 109)

During the last triennium the chief concern of the faculty and
the Board of Control at your Bronxville school was to carry out
the resolutions of the last convention of Synod, namely, that
“further experiments in general higher education and coeducation
be made at Bronxville.”

General Higher Education

General higher education was not a new venture for us.
Pursuant to a former resolution of Synod courses other than the
preministerial courses had been offered at Bronxville for a number
of years prior to 1938. Our incorporation under the educational
laws of the State of New York, which implied the granting of
a charter, emphasized these courses before the 1938 convention of
Synod. It is essential to remember that the granting of a charter
necessitated the division of our faculty into a high-school faculty
and a junior-college faculty. Already in our report three years
ago we stated that four additional teachers had to be engaged for
our high-school department, that a new chemical laboratory had
to be installed, and that both of these needs had been met without

any cost to Synod.
: - So, then, the resolution of 1938, as far as experimenting with
general: higher education, did not necessitate any changes or any
- addition to the faculty beyond those which had been effected
_prior to 1938.

-We are convinced that these courses are a distinct advantage
for your Bronxville Concordia. Indeed, it is difficult to see how
we could have carried on without them. The following attendance
