The college has succeeded in recent vears in placing virtually every mobile graduate in teacher education. The report of the placement director is listed for reference. The attention of the church needs to be turned to the availability of directors of Christian education who fill a real need particularly for congregations who are not blessed with parochial schools. Attention is also directed to the first-time availability of deaconess graduates in the spring of 1983. These synodically trained young women are well prepared and eager to serve congregations and pastors in many areas. The rich tradition of the deaconess movement goes back to the time of the apostle Paul and the deaconess Phoebe. Congregations are urged to consider providing assistance to their pastor and service to their members by calling one of these dedicated women.

E. H. Happel, chairman: Rev. H. O. Krueger, vice-chairman: Mr. H. O. Koeneman, secretary: Mr. Robert Carpenter: Mr. James Haar; Dr. Henry Mathews: Mr. Richard Nachtsheim: Mr. Arnold Stoppenhagen; Rev. Herbert Wians; and Mr. Ralph Brauer. The Synod owes a special debt of gratitude to these men, who meet every other month without compensation. giving freely of their time and wisdom. The president of the institution, who serves as executive secretary for the Board of Regents, is retiring from active service to the college in August of this vear. The president began his period of service to Concordia College, River Forest. in November 1973, having been called from the presidency of Concordia College, Ann Arbor, Mich. At the close of 29 years of service as president of three of the Synod’s colleges, he and his wife give thanks to Almighty God for the many blessings continuously granted him by our gracious Lord. At the time of this writing plans are under way to call a new president, who, hopefully. will have accepted the position and be known to the church at the time of the convention. Faculty The faculty of Concordia College, River Forest, numbers 99 full-time and 30 part-time members. However, two of the full- time faculty are one-year replacements for two regular faculty on full-year sabbatical leaves. They will leave Concordia when the regular faculty members return. Thus, the faculty numbers have remained constant even though enrollment has increased by 150 students over the past two years. A 17 to 1 student faculty ratio (full-time equivalents) indicates high productivity. Sixty-two percent of the faculty are tenured. Over 50% hold earned doctorates. Three visiting teams last year compli- mented Concordia for its excellent faculty. Additions or replacements on the faculty over the past two years include the following: Randal Becker, Gary Bertels, Anita Briedis, Coleen Chalmers, Martin Homan, Carol Jabs. Richard Allmon, Kenneth Barnes, Kevin Brockberg, Natalie Klanderman, Timothy Krentzke, and Dale Septeowski. Concordia has benefited from the dedicated service of several faculty members who retired during the biennium. This list includes professors John Buelow, Dr. Samuel Janzow, Eunice Heyne. and Victor Hildner. The long and faithful service of these professors to Concordia and the Synod has benefited congregations all over the country. During the biennium the Lord called to Himself in heaven four retired professors. They were in order of their passing: Dr. Herbert Gross, professor of geography; Rev. Daniel Poellot, professor of church history: Dr. Wilfred Kruse, professor of science and registrar; and Mr. Clarence Drews, professor of geography. During the days of their teaching and their retire- ment these men provided sturdy examples for future genera- tions of pastors, teachers, and professors. ‘‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord henceforth. Blessed indeed, says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!” (Rev. 14:13). * * * Respectfully submitted, ever mindful of the words of Jesus. the college motto, “If ye continue in My Word, then are ye My disciples indeed: and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:31-32).
