SEMINARIES AND COLLEGES 121

Summer Courses

Under the supervision of the Extension Divisions of our
theological and teachers’ seminaries, a graduate school for pastors
and teachers is to be conducted on our campus for a three-week
period this summer. These courses will carry residence credits
toward the acquisition of degrees in theology and education. —
Moreover, a “Pastors’ Workshop” has been planned for the pastors
of the District during the last week of August. — Our campus will
also be the locale of the Walther League L.S. V. School during the
week of Aug, 11.

In conclusion, the Board of Control of Concordia Academy
desires to express to the synodical Board of Directors and Board
for Higher Education its sincere thanks for the splendid co-opera-
tion and the sympathetic help and guidance which have been ex-

tended to us. Tae Boarp or Controt or Concorpia ACADEMY

a comparable level with preparatory schools in other sections of

session at Everett, Wash., February 4—6, 1947, urge the Board of
Control of Concordia Academy, Portland, Oreg., to consider the
