Concordia College, Edmonton, Alberta
(Memorial 113)

With heartfelt gratitude towards our heavenly Father, who in
His never-ending grace and mercy has again protected, guided, and
blessed us, we, the members of the Board of Control of Concordia
College, Edmonton, Alta., herewith present to you our report for
the past triennium.

1. Student-Body. — Our student-body, owing to unprecedented
drought in wide areas in Alberta and even wider areas in Sas-
katchewan and consequent unfavorable economic conditions has
not been as large as it would have been if normal conditions had
prevailed. Our enrolment was 35 students in 1935-36, 55 in 1936-37,

and 40 in 1937-38.
, Our boys, individually and collectively, were governed by, and
willingly submitted to, the Word of God. In only a few cases severe
disciplinary measures had to be adopted. Needless to say, these
cases were dealt with in accordance with Biblical principles.

Health conditions, on the whole, were good. With the excep-
tion of two students who had to submit to mastoidectomies and one
scarlet-fever case, our boys contracted no serious diseases. Last
winter, when there was fear of an epidemic of poliomyelitis, all
possible precautionary measures were observed, and none of our
students were stricken by the dreaded disease.

2. Faculty. — The members of the faculty have been very dili-
gent and conscientious in the performance of their respective duties.
They have worked faithfully, not only for the welfare of our col-
lege, but also for that of the District and of Synod in general.

By the grace of God the health of our professors has been good,
so that their work could go on without much interruption. Director
- Schwermann unfortunately suffered a nervous breakdown in the
winter of 1937 and had to be given a two-month leave of absence.
