Attendance.
Since the Organization Of The insti-
tuition l16 graduates hsvs bssn turned
out o teachers and . large number
have been graduated from the college
department who continued their
studies ct the theological seninarias.
The average attendance has been
about 50 students per year, the at
tendance Of later years going above
100. The steadily increasing at
tendance actuated the consideration
of procuring quarters more adequate
to the requirements of the large number
of students.
The Present Buildings.
This question was brought before
the convention OF the general synod of
1909 which convened in New Ulm.
Offers of buildings ready for occupa-
ton were made the institution by the
cities of Hutchinson and st. James
but it was decided that it was cheaper
to erect new buildings on the old
grounds than to remove to another
location, especially after the offer was
made by several public spirited
citizens of New Ulm to supply the
college with city water pressure, sewer
connections, sidewalks and fire pro-
lection. Besides these liberal offers,
q four acre lot adjacent to the college
property was to be presented for .
building site aud valuable addition to
the campus and park. A building
committee was;elected which consists OF
the following members: Chairman
ex-oficio, president of the synod, first
Rev. Schroedel of st. Paul, after his
decease, Rev. Zich then of Sleepy Eye,
after Rev. Zich's removal to Green
Bay, Wis, Rev. Pankow of st. James.
Other members are: Prof. Ackerm ann.
Rev. Winter of Manksto, VIM. Pod
penberger Of st. Paul, Hon. F.. a.
Scbwsppe Of st. James, J. Kroeger Of
Mankato, and the board of trustees OF
the synod: Rev. G. J. Albrecht Of
New Ulm, F. H. Retzlaff of New Ulm,
Frank Buelow of Sleepy Eye, John
w. Book of Gibbon, Rev. F. Koehler
OF Nicollet, MINI.
The dormitory was erected upon the
site donated by the city and the music
hall next to it on the old property,
bringing it between the old building,
which will be used for recitation
hall, and the new dormitory. Both
buildings are fine brick and stone
structures and are equipped with all
modern appliances which could add to
the comfort of the inmates, including
electric lights, steam heat, shower and
tub baths with hot or cold water
connections, fine sewerage systems,
separate hospital rooms, gymnasium,
sanitary, we'll ventilated study and
sleeping quarters, and all the comforts
and conveniences a student could wish.
Excursions.
Excursion trains will be run on all
lines entering New Ulm. Special
trains are already scheduled over the
St. Louis and North Western roads
from all prospective points. A large
attendance is expected from the Twin
Cities and intermediate points, also
from the west on both lines and from
east of Mankato. Special trains will
be run from St. Peter bringing visitors
from Nicollet and Cortland.
Visitors may be sure of hearty
welcome to our city and we hope they
will be served with the best New Ulm
can offer.
