68 SEMINARIES AND COLLEGES

well as its pastor, the Rev. H. W. Romoser, and the organist, P
Victor Hildner of River Forest, whose expert counsel was hi
valued. We also acknowledge with grateful appreciation the ji
stallation of a set of Schulmerich chimes by the H. A. Schole fz
as a memorial to their departed husband and father.

This multi-purpose building supplies a need felt over a peridg
of many years. To all the members of our Synod, whose gracio
generosity enabled us to acquire this new addition, our hearts
out in deep-felt gratitude. And we also feel constrained to emph
size the courtesy and sympathetic co-operation of Synod’s Boa
of Directors and particularly the Board for Higher Educatio
whose interest in the welfare of our educational work is mo
exemplary. May God bless them!

Future Needs

In its convention at Chicago in 1947 Synod approved of
expansion program at Edmonton. This was to include a phys
education building and additions to our administration buildi:
and dormitory. The appropriations made at the Milwaukee Co
vention in 1950 and in the “Conquest for Christ” collection
under existing high costs of building hardly suffice to carry out
complete program, and consequently we believe that an addition#q
sum in the neighborhood of $75,000 is required, for which
herewith respectfully petition Synod. ;
The development of natural resources and industries in wester
Canada borders on the phenomenal. In the center of this rap
expanding and vast domain our Canadian Concordia serves a gr
ing Church. May God continue to bless her, and may the imp
mentation of a suggestion made to the Milwaukee Conven

become a reality. in the not too distant future—a Canad

seminary. THe Boarp or Controt 0}
