The student-body conducted itself in a Christian manner. The
efforts of the professors and students were richly blessed by the Lord.
To Him be all glory and praise for the work performed and the Chris-
tian discipline maintained by faculty and students!

IV. Campus, Buildings, and Equipment.

Your Board has given much time and careful consideration to
matters pertaining to the economical operation and up-keep of Synod’s
property. We gratefully acknowledge the hearty cooperation given us
by the faculty and students, with the result that buildings and equip-
ment have been kept in good condition.

The new boilers and oil-burners granted at the last convention of
Synod have been installed, and they are giving full satisfaction. The
operating expense for fuel has been reduced more than $2,000 per
annum, a saving of between 25 and 30 per cent. per year. Five resi-
dences have been built on the rental plan. With a slight additional
cost the homes will be paid for in a period of ten years by the rent
which would otherwise have been required.

V. Training-School.
The training-school is now housed at Grace Lutheran School.

Thus an opportunity is given the students to teach and observe all

bight des.
Ment Braces VI. Requests for Appropriations.

1. Our institution has-an unused balance amounting to $1,380.24,
from an appropriation made by Synod in 1929 for repairs and re-
placement of musical instruments at River Forest. We respectfully
request that this balance be reappropriated to enable us to make the
necessary larger repairs on some of our organs and pianos during the
next triennium.

2. The hot-water storage tank used in connection with the hot-
water heating boiler has seen eighteen years of service and during
the past year has sprung a number of leaks. It may have to be re-
placed some time within the next year, and we would respectfully ask
that an appropriation amounting to $467 be voted to be used in the
event that a new tank will have to be installed.
