54 SEMINARIES AND COLLEGES

Enrollment

With existing dormitories taxed beyond the rated occupancy
established in 1913, we were able to enroll the following number
of students:

Enrollment Men Women Total *
1953-54 285 638
1954—55 __ — 335 655
1955—56 __ 365 664

* This figure does not include male teaching vicars and undergraduate supply
teachers, even though they are technically our students. About 70 students serve
the church annually in this undergraduate activity.

In addition, Concordia has since 1932 conducted summer ses-

sions. This phase of our educational services is increasing steadily

Two weeks of varied workshop activities plus five weeks of formal
academic offerings have challenged an increasing number of
students.

By the grace of God and as a result of the untiring efforts of
the faculty, over 1,500 different Students have been offered
accredited educational Services annually. And thanks be to God,
greater opportunities lie ahead!

For the 1956—57 academic year, the Board of Control, with
the approval of the Board for Higher Education and the Board
of Directors of Synod, is expanding dormitory facilities for resident
students by vacating five of the older on-campus faculty residences.
Funds have been granted to provide off-campus housing for those
displaced faculty members affected by this necessary move toward
expansion of enrollment.

The Board of Control

Faithful service has been rendered by members of the Board
of Control. Eleven regular meetings were held per annum. Addi-
