are edition, the removal of these facilities from the dormitory base-
in vt will allow more space in the building for student activities.
We shall also gain space in the dormitory by moving our infirmary

d custodian’s quarters to the new service building, since these
" resent occupy two suites of rooms in Centennial Hall, which
- re is needed for students’ quarters. We therefore request an
appropriation of $65,000 for the service building.

Campus Improvements

Since the last convention the two old buildings — administra-
tion building and gymnasium — which served this institution for
a great many years, have been razed. The campus has been
landscaped and presents a very attractive appearance. A new base-
ball diamond has been installed by the Alumni Association. A group
of lots along N. E. Liberty Street, the north boundary of the campus,
was acquired in 1948. This property includes a house now being
occupied by Instructor Stuenkel.

Accreditation
We are happy to report that since 1948 Concordia Academy
has been accredited with the Northwest Association of Secondary
and Higher Schools and also with the Oregon State Department

f Education.
on wanes Faculty

Since 1947 the following changes have taken place on our
faculty: The Rev. Omar Stuenkel of. Dayton, Wash., was engaged
as instructor in the summer of 1948 and has continued to serve
our institution since that time. He has replaced Prof. Karl Lorenz,
who retired in 1948, but who continues to teach two elective
courses. Assistants who have served Concordia in this triennium
are Rudolph Ressmeyer, 1947—48; Walter Rubke, 1948-49; and
Paul Schulze, 1949—50. In addition, the Rev. F. H. Krinke has
been engaged as part-time instructor in Religion; Mrs. Adelaide
Willworth as librarian; and Mr. Martin Dobberfuhl as instructor

in music.
Board of Control

Two changes have occurred on the Board of Control since the
last convention: District President C. H. Bensene replaced the
late President F. M. L. Nitz after the latter’s death in January,
1948. Mr. Fred Wagener was appointed to replace Mr. Paul Neils,
who was ineligible to serve because of the fact that he holds another
elective office within Synod.
