Action.
Under the present conditions, upon recommendation of Commit-
teo 1, Synod declined the request for a new library.

Lutheran Concordia College of Texas, Austin, Tex.
(Extract from the report of the Board of Control. Memorial 115.)

With gratitude to God we can report that the work at our in-
stitution during the last three years has prospered.

In the scholastic year 1929—30 our enrolment was 59, of whom
four left the institution. Forty-nine of these had the ministry in view,
six the teaching profession, while two took the high-school course. At
the end of the year eleven were dismissed to Winfield and two to Fort
Wayne, while four entered our normal schools. Of the 43 students
during the year 1930—31 two left the institution, and one had to be
expelled. Eight were dismissed to Winfield, two to Concordia, and
one to Seward. This year 37 were enrolled, one of whom has given
up his studies. Thirty-three intend to serve the Lord in the ministry
or in the teaching profession. One is taking the high-school course.
At the close of the school-year nine intended to go to Winfield and
two to River Forest or Seward.

Health conditions were good. We can give the students a good
rating as far as their behavior and industry are concerned. According
to local arrangements, students spend about two hours every Monday
to beautify the grounds. .

When in 1929 the fourth class was opened, Assistant Professor
Neeb was elected as the third regular professor. Candidates Alex
Heidel and Klopp served as assistant instructors during the triennium.
| The latter also gave musical instruction, thus saving expenses.
| In the fall of 1929 the building allowed by the last Synod was
erected and so arranged that it can later be used for kitchen and

heating-plant. The second professor’s dwelling was built 1930. Early
last year, with the approval of the Board of Directors, natural gas was
installed in the heating system, effecting a saving of from $100 to $150
ayear. Since our laboratory was inadequate, the Board of Directors
made a special allowance of $250 for this purpose. The interest of
the congregations of our District for the institution is growing, so
that our kitchen and storeroom are well supplied. The help of our
college auxiliary, of the Walther League, and of other young people’s
societies of the District must be gratefully acknowledged.
