Ev. Luth. Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States. 1935. 55

among the members of the Faculty and an assistant made it possible
to take care of the branches that had been taught by Professor
Schuelke. But his place should be filled as soon as possible.

A vacancy in the Board of Control was filled by the appointment
of Mr. Erwin Jones of Seward, Nebr. February 16, 1934, Mr. D.
Henry J. Meyer, a faithful worker of the Board, was called to his
eternal rest. Mr. CO. H. Eickenhorst has taken his place. The Board
has endeavored to discharge its duties to the best of its knowledge and
ability. Regular monthly and extra meetings were held during the
triennium.

The rebuilding of four practise organs for our Music Department
was granted by the Board of Directors, to which our request made
during the sessions of the Synod in Milwaukee had been turned over.

As a good library at an institution of learning belongs to the
necessary equipment for successful operation of the same, we, too, to-
gether with Synod’s other colleges, beg Synod to make, if at all pos-
sible, an annual allowance also for the library at our institution.

A citizen of Seward donated chimes for the Seward County
Court-house. Upon his request the County Commissioners offered
the clock and bell which were replaced by the chimes to our college for
our tower. The Board accepted the gift with the condition that we
would mount the clock and bell as soon as we received the necessary
money to defray the expenses.

The city of Seward, at the expense of $15,000, built a new line of
sewers east of our institution. The small sum we were taxed entitles
Synod to connect every building at present on the campus as well as
other buildings to be erected in the future.

Since in accordance with the ruling of the Board of Directors
twenty-four per cent. of all the money our students pay into the com-
missary-department treasury must be used for administrative pur-
poses, we feel especially constrained to acknowledge the help to sup-
port our commissary department by our Christians in both Nebraska
Districts by contributing vegetables, fruits, canned goods, and other
foods even in the time of drought and crop failure.

We also are indebted to the ladies’ aids of our churches, which
supplied necessaries for the welfare of our students.

Action of Synod.

Upon recommendation of Committee 1, Synod resolved that a
third year be added to the normal course at Seward.
