' Ey. Luth. Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States. 1917. 23

* . Synod reappropriated its share of $30,000 toward the above building;
it also appropriated $5,000 for remodeling old lecture-halls into dor-
mitories, $1,700 for installing electric lighting, and $600 for cement

ST. PAUL’S COLLEGE AT CONCORDIA, MO.

The Board of this institution reported a gratifying increase in
students, but a very troublesome lack of room for properly housing
them. Some of the students are occupying quarters intended for
a hospital, and others are in rooms belonging to the steward’s resi-
dence. The pastoral conference of Northwest Missouri and the
Western District heartily. support the request for a new dormitory
for 200 students to cost $60,000, of which sum the Western District
guarantees to raise $30,000.

ACTION.

The above request was granted, and Synod appropriated its share
of $80,000, but with the distinct understanding that more land must
first be secured. Synod upon resolution petitions the brethren in
Concordia, Mo., to provide the necessary additional land.

The sum of $1,100 was voted for necessary improvements and
extensions to the residence of Prof. Wm. Schaller.

A seventh professorship was ordered established at this insti-

tution.
CONCORDIA COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE AT BRONXVILLE, N. Y.

While this school is on a level with our other “Colleges,” the
law of the State of New York does not permit the official use of
the title “College” because our school does not meet all the require-
‘ments of the Regents of the State of New York.

Unfortunately there has been a loss in enrolment the past three
years; but special efforts are now being put forth to secure an in-
crease in students.

Prof. L. Schmidtke left the school to return to the pulpit; and

Prof. George Romoser was added to the faculty. There being six
grades with only six men in the faculty, the Director included,
Pastor J. N. H. Jahn was secured as assistant professor, the Lutheran
Education Society of New York kindly paying half of his salary.
-The Board requests a regularly appointed seventh professor.
Our nearest church being about two miles from the Institute,
the Mission Board of the Atlantic District called Pastor F. P. Wilhelm
to do missionary work in Bronxville and to establish a congregation
there, especially to minister to the College. A congregation has
. been organized, and services are conducted in the College chapel.
With gratitude to God the Board reports that our fine Bronx-
‘ville property is now free of debt. The following exhibit of expenses
and receipts since the removal of the institution from Hawthorne
to Bronxville is submitted: —
