SEMINARIES AND COLLEGES 27

were held with the faculty members, and other Meetings with the
church council of St. John’s Church of Seward, with which we work
together in the operation of our training school. Several changes
have occurred in the membership of the board as elected by the
last convention. Messrs. Walter Kupke and William Sieck for valid
reasons were unable to serve. Their resignations were accepted, and
their places were filled, respectively, by Mr. E. T. Miessler of
Columbus, Nebr., a member of the board from 1944 to 1947, and
Mr. Frank Mueller of Lincoln, Nebr. In 1948 Mr. Oscar Doerr was
elected to an office by the Northern Nebraska District, Since a
synodical resolution does not permit holding of two elective offices,
Mr. Doerr had to make a choice. He elected the District office,
and his place on our Board of Control was filled by Mr. L. C. Heine
of Omaha. In December, 1948, Mr. Frank Mueller accepted a Pposi-
tion in Joplin, Mo., and distance made it impossible for him to
continue his membership. His place was filled by Mr. W. A. Leppin
of Kearney, Nebr. When Pastor I. C. Heinicke met with a fatal .
automobile accident in June, 1949, his place on the board was taken
by the new District President, Rev. A. F-. Wegener of Chappell,

Nebr. Separation of High School and College

One of the longest administrative steps taken has been the
separation of Concordia High School and Concordia Teachers Col-
lege. Both are still on the same campus and are subject entirely
to the control of our board, which has delegated the administration

of the high school. Beyond that, each school has its own faculty
and academic officers. The facilities are used in a manner that
does not hamper the development of either school and furthers
the growth of both. We believe that this has been an entirely sound
and necessary procedure and are completely satisfied with its
operation.

Among other changes in administrative procedure which are
noteworthy are the following: 1) A careful delegation of many of

Wwe could possibly have had under the old system.
