A dressing-room in the gymnasium was easily provided at a
nominal cost of $129. A matron was secured in the person of the
wife of one of our assistant teachers in lieu of living quarters in the
new dormitory, figured at $500. Twenty girls enrolled in Sep-
tember, 1939. It should be stated that coeducation is permitted
only in the junior-college department.

During the course of the year it became apparent that we
would have to secure additional dormitory facilities for the second
year. A suitable piece of property very near our school was
purchased and put into shape during the spring and summer of
1940. Mrs. Mary D.Gaus, a member of Immanuel Congregation
in Brooklyn, N. Y., had made our Bronxville school a beneficiary
under her will. From this source we received $7,434.88. The
purchase price of $7,000; plus alterations, repairs, and furniture,
brought the total cost of this dormitory up to $16,434.58. The
remaining deficit was charged against our Fees Account until it
is liquidated.
