SEMINARIES AND COLLEGES 35

Student Life

Both the college and the high school have been blessed with
ecrated and gifted students who have shown their desire to
learn and who have taken the business of preparing for service in
the Lord’s kingdom seriously. The exceptionally low rate of stu-
dents discontinuing their studies, and the relatively large number
teachers which the college has furnished the Church, is evidence
of the high degree of consecration of the students on our campus.
- We have been blessed with excellent health. Next to God
this is due to the fine health service the school has been able to
develop. The Food Service Department was completely revamped
and given much new equipment since 1950. Under competent and
‘trained leadership it has also contributed to the well-being of the

Pe students.

Public Relations

“The development of the Department of Public Relations has
voved to be a very effective means of co-ordinating the work of
‘the college and high school in student recruitment and in the
.syarious services the school renders to the Church. It has enabled
us.to increase the frequency of contact with our constituency and
‘thereby develop a better understanding of the purposes of the
-college.

The Concordia College Association

ip f the congregations of the Colorado, Iowa West, Northern and

Southern Nebraska, and South Dakota Districts. This agency has

n both moral and financial support to Concordia College and

“School. Its activities have contributed materially to the de-

lopment of both schools.
