by lack of laboratory facilities. We have 246 students and only
one laboratory. Much time is lost between classes in taking down
old displays and setting up ‘new ones. Formerly we had no
xoom for a ‘second laboratory, Since the building of our library,
we have the old faculty library available’ for this purpose. We
‘urgently request Synod to grant us $5,000 to equip this room
as a laboratory and science lecture room..

. § The lighting in our chapel is entirely inadequate. We
need more foot-candles of light and cannot get it with the present
‘fixtures without increasing the already intolerable glare. New.
fixtures with adequate wiring will cost $300.00. We request Synod
to grant us this sum. " - .

plus additional necessary files and. cabinets will cost. approxi-.
mately $10,000. We respectfully request Synod to make these

improvements. Tue Boarp or ConTroi, Concorpia Coutece
