30 SEMINARIES. AND COLLEGES
[109] . :
Concordia Collegiate Institute, Bronxville, N

In grateful recognition of God’s unmerited: mercies we
happy to report that the past triennium has again recorded inti
portant advances in the Christian higher education of our Church’
youth at our Eastern Concordia.

Charter

At the last convention we reported that a permanent charte’
as an accredited junior college was granted to our school in May
of 1940 by the Regents of the University of the State of New Yor <
We are now able to report that in May of 1941 — too late for in!
clusion in our previous report — our school was accepted into
membership of the Middle States Association of Colleges an
Secondary Schools. The representative of this Association
formed us that he was very favorably impressed with our scho
and its facilities, and that he had only the following suggestio
to make: 1) that we improve our library service; 2) that w
increase the use of our faculty advisory system; 3) that we pa
higher salaries to our professors. During the years since ow
charter was granted our school has lived up to all the requirements
of the Board of Regents.

General Higher Education|

Inasmuch as the matter of general higher education for Synod
schools will be brought before the convention by the Board fo
Higher Education, our Board considers it unnecessary to enter upo:
this subject in its own report.

Our Faculty

A number of important changes in our faculty are to be re.
ported. In the summer of 1941 Synod’s Board for Higher Educatio:
requested us to grant Professor Theodore Hausmann a year’s leav:
of absence in order that he might serve as director for the gene
survey ordered by the 1941 convention. This request was grant
and Professor Hausmann left our campus at the beginning of th
fall term in 1941. We feel gratified. that one of our professors wi
selected for this important office; however, it can readily be under.
stood that his absence was keenly felt at our school and that w
are happy to have him back again as dean of our college depart
ment and professor of sciences. During his absence Prof. Emil
Luecke took over the office of dean of the college and rendered
most capable service in addition to his other duties. Prof. Oswald
Hoffmann, who had accepted the call extended to him by =

Electoral College, was installed as professor of Greek and Latin
in September of 1941.
