Luther College Removal
A meeting of the General Committee on re-building Luther College has been called to be held at Minneapolis, Sept. 15. There is a “hitch” in the re location at St. Paul Park, of a nature that cannot now be readily explained. It is enough to say that the proposition on which that site was chosen is not proving so rosy hued as it looked on paper, and another meeting of the General Committee is deemed a necessity. The meeting will be held in connection with the dedication exercises of the new Theological Seminary at Minneapolis. The whole question of location may—probably will —come up for a re-hearing, and this time it will be with the St. Paul real estate boomers at a decided disadvantage.
