representative of the Board of Education asserted. In deepest
gratitude to the Lord be it mentioned that the full faculty and one
assistant professor are at work this year.

Concerning the enrolment during the past three years we
report the following:

In 1939 the enrolment was 56; of these 5 graduated and en-
tered the ministry; two of them were from Argentina. 1940 closed
with an enrolment of 74; of these 6 graduated and entered the
ministry; 6 were normal-school graduates and entered the teaching
profession. In the present year we have an enrolment of 59; of
these 8 are in the theological division, 11 in Prima, 12 in Tertia,
and 28 in Quarta. During the summer vacation a member of
Tertia, son of Pastor Flor, lost his life while bathing.

The health condition of the student-body was good. Only in
two cases ailments were of a serious nature, compelling two of the
students to discontinue their studies. Disciplinary cases we had
none. Fellow-Christians looked after the needs of such students
as were unable to obtain the necessities from their parental homes.
From our congregations and from individuals we received in the
past year 32:318$000; in the year prior to the last, 25:835$000. The
increase in the cost of living was also felt in our commissary de-
partment; but the Lord averted dire need by making the hearts
of Christians willing to give more liberally.

The Lord grant you a rich measure of His blessings as you
meet to deliberate on the maintenance, development, and expansion

of His kingdom.

Requests of the Board

According to the Proceedings of the 37th Regular Synodical
Convention, page 92, of the year 1938, the requests for a sixth pro-
fessor, a professor’s residence, and the completion of the projected
seminary building were granted. The Board of Directors was em-
powered to act in this matter. The Board of Control of Concordia
Seminary, Porto Alegre, however, made no further overtures in
regard to the above-mentioned requests and grants for the follow-
ing reasons:

1) Because of the new situation created by the reorganization
of the educational system in this country it was deemed inadvisable
to undertake anything of far-reaching importance during the past
triennium.
