REPORT OF THE BOARD OF CONTROL —

The Board of Control of Concordia Teachers College, Seward,
Nebr., herewith makes its report for the triennium 1944—1947,
In this centennial year of Synod we are moved to give a double
measure of thanks and praise to God for the countless blessings
He has bestowed on our Church through the training schools for
its professional workers, among which our school is numbered.

The members of the Board of Control have conscientiously
endeavored to carry out all the phases of the work assigned to
them by Synod. The conditions brought about by the war and the
postwar years produced some knotty problems and made rather
heavy demands upon the time of board members. But in view of
the opportunity of rendering this service to the Kingdom of God
the tasks were gladly assumed. For the sake of greater efficiency
the board has appointed subcommittees: an executive committee,
a committee on instruction, and a public-relations representative,
an arrangement which has worked out well. Of the members
elected by the Saginaw Convention, Messrs. Carl Eikenhorst and
Wm, Wiemann found it impossible to serve. Messrs. E. T. Miessler
of Columbus, Nebr., and W. L. Kupke of York, Nebr., were elected
by the Board to fill the vacancies.

Faculty

A number of changes have occurred in the personnel of the
faculty. Prof. W. H. Beck resigned in July, 1944, to take a position
at Midland College, Fremont, Nebr. Prof. W. G. Loesel left in
September, 1944, to enter upon another calling. To fill the vacan-
cies, Rev. W. F. Wolbrecht of Missoula, Mont., and Rev. H. F. Wer-
ling of St. Paul, Minn., were duly elected. The vacancy caused
by the retirement of Prof. Karl Haase was filled when Mr. Paul
Rosel of Milwaukee, Wis., accepted the call extended to him. The
1944 convention had referred our request for a librarian with
faculty standing to the Board for Higher Education and the Board
