SEMINARIES AND COLLEGES 131

the first opening of the complete Colegio-Seminario in Villa Bal-
Flester. But a still more important resolution was passed by Synod’s

f Board of Directors: Beginning with the year 1950, Colegio-
? Seminario Concordia in Villa Ballester is to receive annually a new
class. We hope that this will increase rapidly the number of our
| missionaries, which we so urgently need. In the year 1950 we have
Ftwo seminary classes, -with four students each, and two college
F classes, with five and eleven students respectively. Our Church
fin Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay is in dire need of men, and
, we pray fervently to God that He give us more men.

The faculty has, of course, been enlarged to some extent.
Upon instruction of Synod’s Board of Directors two instructors were
; nominated for a term of two years. The two men nominated have
F accepted.

: The Seminary Board has no special requests at this time, since
j Synod’s Board of Directors has well taken care of all the needs.
