REPORT OF THE BOARD OF CONTROL
(Memorial 106)

Board of Control

Several changes have occurred in the personnel of the board
uring the past triennium. The Rev. Felix Kretzschmar was elected
in 1947, and the Rev. Arthur Oswald became chairman of the
Board in 1948 by virtue of his election to the presidency of the
istrict. In addition to their regular work of supervising all func-
ms and aspects of the school, members of the Board were kept
rery busy with several building projects. The first-wing of a new
ormitory has been completed, and plans have been prepared for
second wing of the dormitory and for a new administration build-
ing.. Board and faculty continue to work in splendid harmony.

Faculty

_ No changes in the permanent membership of the faculty were
.. made in the last three years. Dr. Walter Jennrich was engaged
; as instructor in 1947 to teach Greek and Latin. The system of
: ranking adopted by Synod was put into effect this year. Problems
* of accreditation are being studied with a view to applying for
; recognition by the North Central Association in the near future.
‘ Faculty members who were listed as ill at. the last convention
have improved and are enjoying better health. Prof. George W.
Mueller, retired since 1936, died on December 9, 1949, at the age
© of 91. Three members of the staff will reach the age of 65 during
’ the next triennium. A reduction of their teaching load will necessi-
’ tate the engaging of an additional instructor.

Students

4 The average enrollment during the last three years has been
271. About 95 per cent of these have been ministerial or teacher-
training students. Still suffering from the loss of a dormitory by
fire some fifteen years ago, the school has had to crowd this large
enrollment into inadequate and substandard quarters. In-~spite
of housing problems, the health and morale of the: students have
been good. Participation in national testing programs ‘has revealed
a consistently high grade of scholarship.
