8 PRESIDENT’S TRIENNIAL REPORT

PRESIDENT’S TRIENNIAL REPORT

Complying with the regulations in Synod’s Handbook, which
mentions among the duties of the President that he make an
official report to Synod at each convention, your President begs
leave to present this report at this time.

A survey of the past three years fills a person’s heart with
deep humility and also with heartfelt gratitude to God, humility
at the thought that God should deign to use us poor sinners for
the important work in Christ’s kingdom, and gratitude that the
Lord should graciously bless our lowly service.

Your President and Vice-Presidents appointed the various
boards and committees as prescribed by the synodical Handbook
and published these appointments in the Lutheran Witness and
the Lutheraner.

During the past three years the following changes occurred
in the membership of the different boards and committees:

Teacher Alvin Roschke resigned from the Board of Control at
River Forest because of ill health. Teacher Walter Hartkopf was
appointed to fill the vacancy.

Mr. John L. Armbruster asked to be relieved from membership
on the Board of Control at Edmonton. Mr. Clarence Kuhnke was
appointed to succeed him.

Messrs. Robert Berning and Robert C. Moellering were ap-
pointed to membership on the Board of Control of Concordia Senior
College. This caused vacancies on the Board of Control of Con-
cordia Junior College at Fort Wayne. Messrs. Norman Widenhofer
and Edwin Benz accepted the appointments to fill these vacancies.

Because of the death of District President E. F. Tonn, the
Rev. Alvin Mueller, new President of the Central Illinois District,
became a member of the Board of Control of our Concordia Semi-
nary, Springfield, Ill.

Former District President A. H. Oswald became a member of
Synod’s Board of Directors. The Rev. Herbert W. Baxmann, new
President of the South Wisconsin District, replaced him on the
Board of Control of Concordia College, Milwaukee, Wis.

Mr. Charles Lottmann was appointed to the Board of Control
of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, Mo., to replace Mr. Theo.
Heinicke, who resigned because of ill health.

The following were appointed to membership on the Board of
Control of our Senior College: Dr. Walter F. Lichtsinn, Pastors
Clifford E. Aulick, Allen H. Fedder, Oswald G. S. Riess; Messrs.
E. F. Sagehorn, Robert H. Berning, Carl A. Geist, Arthur H. Hein,
