Student Life

Again this triennium it is our privilege to report that we have
been blessed with consecrated and gifted students who have
demonstrated their desire to learn and who have taken seriously
the business of preparing for service in the Lord’s kingdom.
Students and faculty alike have shown the high value they place
on the Word of God and on the Sacraments. It is a joy to report
that the students have cheerfully borne the difficulties associated
with dormitories filled beyond their rated capacity and with off-
campus housing.

The Lord has blessed our student body with good health.
A great deal of thanks is due to consecrated workers on the non-
academic staff who watch over the material needs of students

and faculty. The Concordia College Association

The Concordia College Association has been faithful in carry-
ing out its objective, namely, assisting Concordia Teachers College
and High School with its recruitment program. The member con-
gregations, which include those located in the Colorado, Iowa West,
Northern Nebraska, Southern Nebraska, and South Dakota Dis-
tricts, have, through their pastors, submitted names of prospective
students and encouraged students in their territories to become
teachers and ministers, Approximately $3,600 per year has been
contributed to help cover the expense of printing and _ travel
essential to presenting the needs of the church for workers to
the constituency and to disseminate facts about training at Synod’s
institution at Seward. Officers have been elected at the annual meet-
ing in October by the assembly present, and each triennium the
District Presidents appoint a representative for a three-year term.

Workers Placed into the Service of the Church

In fulfilling its major objective, namely, to “train parish school
teachers for Lutheran elementary schools,” the college has fur-
