50 Proceedings of Thirty-Fourth Regular Convention,

has made an indelible impression upon our school, and his former
scholars especially will ever hold his memory sacred. ;

In this connection we must also record the death of Prof. -
emeritus J. Schwoy, M. A., who was taken from us on December 2,
1927. Professor Schwoy served our school from 1906 to 1921, when -
he was forced to retire on account of failing health.

Improvements.

Two residences for teachers have been built during the last
triennium, at a cost of $18,500 each. We regret that due to too great
modesty in planning these houses they are rather small and do not
offer that advantage which we ought to afford our teachers. In ad-
dition to this equipment we can now also boast of a new gymnasium,
which was built without any cost to Synod. The Lutheran Education
Society financed this building at a cost of $140,000. The money was ¥
contributed largely by the members of our Atlantic District with the
assistance of some of the members of the Eastern District and those
churches of the English District which are located in this territory.;

The enrolment in our school was as follows: 1926—27, 132 stu-'
dents. 1927—928, 148 students. 1928—29, 154 students. Of the:
46 graduates during the past triennium 44 entered our seminary j
