for the daily devotion. We are much in need of additional class-
rooms. Two of our classrooms are now being used for chapel
purposes. We are still of the opinion that Synod would act wisely
in giving some financial aid for the erection of a suitable place
of worship and a place for daily chapel exercises.

Buildings

Our buildings are showing signs of wear. The joists in the
brickwork, the parapet walls, the terra-cotta trim and the copings
must be taken care of. During the last triennium this work was
done on the Administration Building. It must now be done on
the two dormitories and the Commons Building. One of our dormi-
tories, Bohm Hall, which has been in use from the beginning,
is very much in need of interior repairs. The walls, the floors, and
the doors are very definitely in need of extensive repairs. In Sieker
Hall we have no outlets for desk-lamps, but only center ceiling
lights. Naturally this is not a good condition for the eyes of
our students. .

The following list has been compiled by our Mr. Kemp, who is
an expert in estimating. The prices naturally are subject to
changing market conditions.

Concordia Place has never been paved. The road slopes to
the rear of our property. It is all but impossible to hold stones
or cinders in place without a hard surface.
