PRESIDENT’S TRIENNIAL REPORT 7

at Fort Wayne. Vice-President Dr. Herman Harms was appointed
to replace him on the Board of Control of Concordia Seminary,
St. Louis, Mo.

Last fall the members of the Board for European Affairs,
elected at the Houston Convention, felt constrained to resign. It
was thought wise to appoint an interim committee which could
serve until this convention. The following accepted appointments
to membership on this committee: Dr. Paul Koenig, Prof. M. J.
Naumann, the Rev. E. L. Roschke, and Messrs O. A. Dorn, LL. D.,
and Theo. Schroeder. Dr. H. A. Mayer served as Executive
Secretary.

Membership on the Board for Missions to the Blind underwent
a number of changes since the Houston Convention: Dr. Earl
Miller felt constrained to resign, and Mr. Victor Miller was ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy. When the Rev. Geo. Brueggemann also
felt constrained to resign, the Rev. Theo. Weiss accepted the ap-
pointment to membership on the Board. The Rev. E. C. Bevers-
dorf became a Circuit Visitor of the Northern Illinois District.
This vacancy was filled with the appointment of the Rev. Harry
Timm to membership on the Board. When the Rev. Victor Selle
became a Vice-President of the South Wisconsin District, the
Rev. Herbert J. Mueller accepted appointment to fill the vacancy.

The Rev. Armand H. Ulbrich, Ph. D., was appointed to fill the
vacancy on the Committee on Finnish Relations caused by the
death of the Rev. W. L. Kohn, former President of the North
Wisconsin District.

Dr. Paul M. Bretscher and Dr. Carl Dauten felt constrained
to decline the election to membership on the Board for Parish
Education. The Rev. Justus Kretzmann and Mr. Rex Becker were
appointed to replace them. Mr. John Goodbrake accepted the
appointment to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Robert
Steinmeyer.

God recently called home the chairman of Synod’s Board of
Appeals, Dr. Paul F. Koehneke.

In His wise and gracious providence, God again called to their
eternal rest a number of men who were rendering or had rendered
Synod faithful service. The names of the deceased reported to
me are:

Professors

Prof. Wm. Dobberfuhl, St. Paul, Minn.
Prof. J. E. Richard Schmidt, Milwaukee, Wis.

Dr. Paul F. Koehneke, Milwaukee, Wis.

Dr. Fred E. Mayer, St. Louis, Mo.

The Rev. Edward Saleska (Library Director), St. Louis, Mo.
