A portion of this expense is met by the Lutheran Education
Society. However, the financial strength of the Lutheran Edu-
cation Society has dwindled so that we can hardly expect more
than $1,200 from this source. The Atlantic District has voted an
amount from its budget receipts but only as an emergency measure.
Whatever the Atlantic District gives from its budget receipts for
this purpose is a minus in receipts from the Atlantic District for
Synod’s budget requirements. It is very evident that} unless we~
are permitted to use some of the tuition-money to meet these
expenses, we cannot possibly carry on. . ‘

The Charter
In 1938 we reported that a provisional charter “had beer
granted your school by the University of the State of New York to
run for five years. During these five years certain changes and
improvements were to be made, and certain goals in the cur-

on May 17, 1940, after only three years, they granted us our

No successor to Dr. Koch has been elected as yet. Prof. Th. Haus-

happy to report that our faculty is bending every effort continually

to improve the school. Our Student-Body .

+ No problems of discipline out of the ordinary have arisen on
account of coeducation. Through the efforts of our enrolment
committee and the deans of both departments we are succeeding to
secure the better type of students. The scholastic standing of out
school is very good. We are able at present to take care of 50 girls
"- in our dormitories. Future needs will have to be met as they arise.

The Chapel
No provision has as yet been made to supply for the crying
needs of a church that is to serve both our congregation and our
school at Bronxville. The problem arising from the want of a
