(Report 108)

The Board of Control of St. Paul’s College is happy to render
its triennial report concerning its activities in behalf of the super-
vision of Synod’s school located in Concordia, Mo. To our report
we append a statement of what we consider to be the immediate
future needs of our school and respectfully request Synod, in con-
vention assembled, to give them favorable consideration.

The triennium just passed was one of blessing and benediction
for our school. It was another period of growth, both externally
and internally in all areas of the school’s activities, in spite of the
fact that dark trouble clouds appeared to hang low at times.
For this we are most grateful to the heavenly Father, whose
guidance, protection, blessing and benediction have been. evident
in all the various phases of our school’s work.

Board of Control

The membership of the Board of Control has remained un-
changed during the past three years. The Board is made up of
conscientious men of ability, who furnished sound leadership and
vision. Thirty-three meetings were held in the past triennium.
Much time was given by the members individually and as a group,
working together with the administration and faculty to improve
not only the physical facilities but the total program of our school.
A conscientious effort was made to carry out the various phases
of work assigned to us by Synod. : Under God’s blessing the various
tasks assigned could be carried out in a spirit of harmony and
co-operation. , oo
