CPH, 1953 Members of the faculty have been alert to their professional responsibilities and have affiliated themselves with the profes- sional organizations related to their fields of interest. An appre- ciable number have served these professional organizations in leadership capacities. Two professors received the benefit of their sabbaticals: Prof. Arthur E. Diesing, during the spring quarter of 1955, and Dr. Alfred Schmieding, during the spring quarter of 1956 and extending through the fall quarter of 1956. Prof. Paul Bunjes was granted a leave of absence for the winter and spring quarters of the 1955—1956 academic year to participate in the Walter-Rhau project sponsored by Synod’s Committee on Scholarly Research. The Staff With more than 650 students making Concordia their “home away from home” during almost eleven months of the year, it becomes apparent that the nonacademic staft plays an important role in the life and welfare of future teachers in Synod. About 50% of the more than 100 persons involved in serving Concordia’s students are not classroom instructors. Their influence and importance is greatly appreciated. God has blessed Concordia with loyal, able, and faithful staff members who have made the task of teaching and learning more pleasant because of their cheerful attention to duty. Plant The Board, faculty, staff, and student body are grateful to God for provisions made by Synod in plant improvements and additions. During the summer of 1954 the first and second floors of Krauss Hall were completely and most effectively remodeled. The third floor received similar treatment in the summer of 1955, and Krauss Hall offers highly desirable facilities for upperclassmen at the present.
