convention, the Board for Higher Education in conjunction with
the synodical Board of Directors has authorized the introduction
of the junior college program at our Portland Concordia.

The Board of Control of Concordia Academy, in a meeting
on May 12, 1950, resolved to change the name of this institution
from Concordia Academy to Concordia College, subject to the
approval of Synod. This change is-necessary for the accurate desig-
nation of this school and is in conformity with the nomenclature
employed by Synod in designating its other pretheological junior
colleges.
