Concordia College, Fort Wayne,.Ind. ~ be
(Memorial 105.) wn

With deep gratitude to God, who has again richly blessed our
institution; the Board of Control of Concordia College, Fort Wayne,
Ind., begs leave to submit to the Hon. Synod the following report,
together with a statement of some of the needs and requirements of
our institution.

In addition to its regular meetings the Board of Control held
many special sessions during the past triennium to administer the
affairs of the institution according to the rules and regulations laid
down by Synod. ° ; o

The members of the Faculty worked together in perfect harmony,
diligently applying themselves to their several tasks and duties and
exercising an ever watchful care over the students entrusted to them.

Disciplined by the Word of God, the behavior of the students in
general was that of Christian boys and young men. The health
conditions among the students were very good. ,

The Martha Society, which lends its support to the college hos-
pital and kitchen, celebrated the fifteenth anniversary of its founding
last November. The faithful services of the members of this group
are deeply appreciated by the Faculty, the students, and the Board
of Control. 7

The Alumni Association and the Sportsmen’s Club were quite
active in promoting important phases of college life.
