“Trustees of Concordia College, Portland, Oregon

‘ The only recommendation the Trustees of Concordia College,
‘an Oregon Corporation, wish to make is that the Trustees to be
‘appointed at the synodical convention to be held at Saginaw, Mich.,
e selected from the Board of Control of the school. The Trustees
‘now serving are Rev. E. W. Hinrichs, F. Reils, and Paul Neils.
Of these three Trustees only Paul Neils is serving on the Board
of Control, and his term is about ‘to expire. All members originally
were Trustees of the Oregon and Washington District. The in-
corporation was made very hurriedly on the 30th day of Decem-
ber, 1941, in order to escape real estate taxes on the college
property. There was no time for consultation, and the easiest way
at the moment was to appoint the Trustees of the Oregon and
Washington District as Trustees of the new corporation. Since
then changes have occurred in the personnel of the Trustees of
; the District, and Paul Neils now is the only Trustee still serving
‘on the Board of the Oregon and Washington District.

The duties of the Trustees of Concordia College, as enumerated
in the Articles of Incorporation, are synonymous with the work
of the Board of Control, and the Trustees of the College, there-
fore, are legally responsible for the affairs of the institution, but
have no voice in its management. For this reason it appears
desirable to choose the Trustees of the Corporation from the
personnel of the Board of Control. According to the Articles of
. Incorporation, appointment of the Trustees is to be made tri-
. annually by the convention of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of

Missouri, Ohio, and Other States. Concorpra COLLEGE
