66 Action Regarding Individual Institutions

Concordia College, Fort Wayne, Ind.
(Memorial 105) .

Complying with Synod’s regulations, the Board of Control of
Concordia College, Fort Wayne, Ind., with deep gratitude to God,
who has again abundantly blessed our institution, herewith respect-
fully submits to the Hon. Synod the following report, together with
a statement of some of the needs and requirements of our insti-
tution.

Board of Control

In addition to its regular monthly 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.

The vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Henry Moellering,
who had been a faithful member of the Board for many years, was
filled by Mr. Otto Scheimann.

Faculty

The members of the faculty worked together in perfect har-
mony, diligently applying themselves to their arduous duties and
exercising an ever watchful care over the students entrusted to
them.

Two faithful members of the faculty, Prof. Martin Stoeppel-
werth, who resigned from office September 1, 1936, and Director
William C. Burhop, who accepted a call into the ministry Feb-
ruary 1, 1937, were succeeded by Prof. Herbert Bredemeier and
Director Ottomar Krueger, respectively, two consecrated and

highly efficient men.
Student-Body

Disciplined by the Word of God, the students, in general, in
their conduct maintained the standard of true Christians.
The health condition among the students was very good.

Enrolment: 1935—1936, 300; 19361937, 298; 1937—1938, 304

Coeducation in High School Department

Coeducation in the high-school department, sanctioned by
Synod at its convention in Cleveland three years ago, works out
very satisfactorily in every respect. It in no way interferes with
the paramount purpose of our institution, namely, the preparation
of young men for the public ministry of the Word and proves a real
blessing to many boys and girls seeking a Christian higher edu-
cation.

All expenses to establish this department were borne by the
congregations of Fort Wayne and vicinity, which also meet the
