Concordia College, St. Paul, Minn. '
(Memorial 107)
In compliance with Synod’s regulation, the Board of Control of
Concordia College, St. Paul, Minn., submits its report for the period

1944—-1947:
Student Body

Enrollment: 1944—1945 00... eee eee 188
. 1945—1946 one eeeeeeeeeeeeeee 221
1946—1947 one eeeeeeeeceeeeeeee 273

Among these, eighteen veterans are enrolled. Special efforts
have been made to deepen the spiritual life of our entire student
body, and the Word of God has proved its regenerative power.
By having counselors in every dormitory, the student life has
shown a marked improvement. No serious cases of discipline
became necessary. ,

Tie-Up with University

With the approval of the Board of Directors and the Board
for Higher Education, an arrangement was made with the Uni-
" versity of Minnesota under which certain members of the Uni-
versity faculty delivered lectures in our school in such subjects
as Sociology, Psychology, and Education. Eighteen veterans, nine
graduates from our sophomore college class, and five members of
our staff have availed themselves of this opportunity. While this
arrangement is merely an experiment, it has been most successful
and has been accomplished at a very nominal cost to Synod,
amounting to about $600.

. Faculty

Because of Dr. M.Graebner’s request to be relieved of the
duties of the President, the Board acceded to his wishes and re-
tained him as a member of the faculty. Rev. W. A. Poehler was
elected to succeed him as President and was installed on Sept. 15,
