The agreement with the St. Paul Lutheran High School Association is that July 1 1971. or earlier, the Synod will relinquish complete con- trol and responsibility to the St.Paul Lutheran High School Association. The St. Paul Lutheran High School Association in turn has pledged itself to continue the institution as a North Central Association accredited 4-year classical high school which offers a synodically recommended preministerial program in addition to a general program. The Synod and the Board of Directors of the Synod, with the Board for Higher Education, are to be commended for approving and supporting this solution to the problem of the synodical high school in St. Paul. Personnel Board of Control. Present membership of the Board of Control comprises Rev. Martin W. Lieske (ex officio), chairman: Rev. H. F. Schweigert. secretary: Teacher Carl F. Stelling, vice-chairman: Messrs. Paul H. Seltz, O. Harold Swanson, and Walter E. Schmalz. The Board of Control requests the Synod through formal overtures submitted separately (1) to grant the third and fourth college years for preministerial training and (2) to thank the Minnesota North, the Minnesota South, and the Iowa District West for their 75th-anniversary gift totaling more than $450,000 for the music classroom building. Academic Staff. During the 1967—68 school year the Board of Control employed 8 full professors. 2 emeriti professors. one modified-service professor, 10 associate professors, 28 assistant professors. 6 instructors, and 3 guest lecturers in the college department (a total of 58), as well as 16 instructional staff personnel in the high school, of whom three held permanent tenure and one is on modified service. This indicates, in comparison with the preceding year. an increase in the college of 5 and an increase in the high school of 8. The increase in the high school was due to the merger with the Saint Paul Lutheran High School staff and the doubling of the high school enrollment from 99 to 191. For the school year 1968—69 the total college teach- ing staff was 62, including 5 part-time instructors; this was an increase of three. The high school staff was in- creased by one part-time instructor for a total of 17. The combined total teaching staff for 1968—69 was 79, an increase of five. Two emeriti professors, Dr. Ernest Lussky and Prof. Oswald B. Overn, and two professors on modified ser- vice, Dr. Edgar J. Otto and Prof. Paul W. Stor, con- tinued to serve the institutions in special assignments. The campus community was saddened by the acci- dental death (in a collision) of Dr. Edward Brockmann on March 2, 1969. During the past biennium Dr. Thomas Coates was added to the teaching staff at the rank of full professor. The following assistant professors were advanced to the rank of associate professor: Kenneth P. Kaden. Edward A. Lange. Marvin L. Middendorf, Luther H. Mueller. Carroll E. Peter, Leon G.

Warnke, Marvin L. Middendorf, Edward L. Brockmann, and Alvin D. Franzmeier. In addition to their teaching assignments the teaching staff produced published articles, brochures. and reviews in churchly and technical periodicals together with one book: The Gospel of John for Today, by Thomas Coates, published 11.168 by Concordia Publishing House.
