Seminaries and Colleges. — Individual Institutions 79

$4,600. We have not spent this money, but it is on deposit with
Treasurer Seuel, where it is being used. The tuition which Oak-
land collected and remitted to Synod during the three preceding
years amounted to $1,419.30 for an average of $473 a year. For the
last three years under the new plan it has averaged $1,500.

Our request is that we be permitted to retain this money in
order to erect a dormitory for the girls. Your Board wants to
proceed with the erection of the dormitory, using this money as
down payment and financing the balance out of the income, as soon
as the Board can assure itself that such income will be sufficient.
We have made no demands upon Synod in introducing general edu-
cation. The cost to Synod of this institution has not been in-
creased. In consideration of this we feel that our request for the
tuition-money, in whole or in part, is not presumptuous. It is of
course understood nothing will be done without the approval of
Synod’s boards.

Respectfully submitted,

Tue Boarp of CONTROL OF CALIFORNIA CONCORDIA COLLEGE
Geo. W. Gaertner, Secretary

Report of Committee 1

Committee 1 recommended the following under Point 2:

a. That the matter pertaining to the sale of a part of the
property at Oakland, Calif., be turned over to the Board of Direc-
tors, with power to act;

b. That the proceeds of this sale be used to erect the requested
building to provide necessary additional classrooms and office
space.

With reference to Point 3, Committee 1 recommended that
action on the requested girls’ dormitory be deferred until the
general survey has been made.

Action of Synod: These recommendations were adopted.

Concordia College, Portland, Oreg.
Report of the Board of Control
(Memorial 112)

The story of Portland’s Concordia during the past three years
tells much of God’s gracious care for this small school on one of
Synod’s far-flung outposts. The members of the faculty enjoyed
good health, and aside from a number. of cases of smallpox and
influenza there was no illness to interrupt the work.

When after a depressing period, during which the various
proposals to close Portland hung like a pall over the school, Synod
expressed its will at Cleveland that Portland should continue to
function, the joy of new life began to surge through the District.
