Action.

"4, Regarding the request for a new Administration Building,
hich was advocated also in a number of unprinted memorials, Com-
mittee 1 recommended that Synod, due to prevailing economic con-
ditions, decline the request, but that the Board of Control in con-
junction with the Board of Directors be instructed carefully to observe
the building and, if it has to be vacated, to meet the situation as well
ag it can be done under the circumstances. This was resolved.

Concordia Collegiate Institute, Bronxville, N. Y.
(Memorial 109.)

* During the last triennium, on April 20, 1931, our Concordia was
permitted by the grace of God to celebrate its golden jubilee, a cause
for special praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God, who during all
those fifty years signally blessed the institution and kept His protec-
tive and guiding hand over it, which is herewith gratefully acknowl-
edged to the praise of His name.

Merely as an example worthy of emulation we beg to mention
that during the past few years Concordia has been made the benefi-
ciary in a number of wills made by friends of Concordia to the extent
of about $13,000, a lasting monument of gratitude to their memory.

Board of Control.
The members of the Board of Control, like so many cogs of
a wheel, have unostentatiously endeavored to keep the machinery of
Concordia in proper running order. For this purpose they have met
regularly every morith and held a number of special meetings to ad-
minister all the affairs of the institution within the scope of the

Board.
Student-Body.

Due to the special efforts of our F aculty Enrolment Committee
in securing new students the enrolment during the past triennium
has been particularly gratifying. The enrolment was as follows:
1929—30: 155 students; 1930—31: 161 students; 1931—32: 180
students, the largest in the history of the school. The graduating
class of 1982 numbers 16.

An up-to-date gymnasium and grounds suitable for all recrea-
tional purposes tend to keep our boys in the best possible physical
health. With an eye to the physical welfare and the general benefit
of the boys the Women’s Committee of the Lutheran Education
Society and the Concordia Ladies’ Aid Society have nobly assisted
in this respect through large donations for the purchase, for instance,
of a moving-picture camera, projector, and equipment, of a ski-ball
outfit, for the resurfacing of a tennis-court, etc.
