Concordia Teachers College, Seward, Nebr. ‘a

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF CONTROL
- (Memorial 104) ,
In making our report of Concordia Teachers College, Seward,
- Nebr., for the past three years we find it very difficult to limit our-
selves to a few pages. “The Lord hath done great things for us,
whereof we are glad.” There are very many things which God
has done for and through our college and high school, and excellent
opportunities which He has opened up for us about which we
would like to tell Synod. But we shall limit ourselves to the
essentials.
Board of Control
The Board of Control met, on the average, about ten times
a year. Under God’s blessing, tasks assigned to us could be carried
out in a harmonious and co-operative spirit. Several joint meetings
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 posi-
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
to the president of the college, who also serves as superintendent
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
