II. Enrollment

Concordia College experienced the largest percentage growth
in enrollment of all our colleges and seminaries during the 1955
to 1956 school year. Our enrollment rose from 314 to 382, the
highest in our seventy-five-year history. Of these, 109 were in
the college and 273 in the high school department. .

Ill. Personnel

During the triennium many changes occurred in the personnel
picture. All the members of the Board of Control who had served
in the previous triennium were re-elected at the Houston Con-
vention, but since Rev. A. H. Oswald had been elected to the
Board of Directors of Synod, he resigned his position as chairman
of the Board of Control in July 1953 and was succeeded by Rev.
Herbert W. Baxmann, President of the South Wisconsin District.
In September 1953 Rev. Walter W. Stuenkel of St. Joseph, Mich.,
assumed the presidency of Concordia to replace the late Dr. L. C.
Rincker, who had died in January 1953. Dean J. E. Richard Schmidt
passed away in August 1954. William C. Ackmann was appointed
as his successor in the deanship. The business manager, Mr. Earl
Lemke, accepted a position in another school and was replaced
by Mr. Robert Wuebben. Dr. Edwin Hattstaedt submitted to
@ serious operation in February 1955, which caused the loss of his
power of speech. He still serves on the faculty in the Capacity of
assistant librarian, which enables Professor Paul T. Dietz, the
librarian, to carry a full instruction load. Dr. Paul Koehneke
