a deep sense of gratitude to Almighty God, who has

i to shower His blessings upon the work of our school,.
continves Board herewith submits its triennial report.

It is with

Our Faculty

In November of 1947 it was our privilege to commemorate. the
fortieth anniversary of Prof. Louis Heinrichsmeyer as a member
' our staff. This significant milestone was fittingly observed at a
oublic ceremony in which due recognition was given to the divine
r ercy which has permitted our beloved professor to render such
jong and faithful service to our school. ;

On May 10, 1948, our revered Dr. Henry Stein was called to
his eternal reward. He was completing his 56th consecutive year
of devoted service at our school, 51 as full-time professor, the last
five on a part-time basis after his retirement in 1943.

In the summer of 1948 Prof. Oswald Hoffmann accepted the
call as Director of Public Relations of The Lutheran Church — Mis-
souri Synod, causing us to lose his valued services on our staff
and campus.

To fill the vacancy, Prof. Henry Proehl was appointed to the
chair of Latin and Greek in the college department, having hereto-
fore taught these subjects in our high school department. His place
on our high school faculty was filled when the Rev. Carl Weidmann,
our housemaster, accepted the call of the Electoral Board to the
chair of Latin and Greek in the high school. ‘

This left a vacancy in the position of housemaster, which at the:
present writing has not been filled despite earnest’ efforts. In- the
meantime the duties of the housemaster have been assumed by
some of the assistants under supervision of Professor Weidmann,
who also serves as principal of our high school.

Another serious vacancy was created when in September of
1949 President Arthur Doege accepted the call as pastor of Our
Savior Lutheran Church, Mineola, N. Y., and was granted a peaceful
dismissal after having served faithfully and competently as head
of our school for the past eleven years.

Prof. Albert E. Meyer, now serving as acting president of our
school, was called to the presidency by the Electoral’ Board on
March 15. Up to the present writing we have not received his
decision. Professor Meyer also served as acting president: during
the period of 1942 to 1945, when President Doege served as active
chaplain with the Armed Forces.

By authority of the Board for Higher Education two members.
