Support of. the District

The support which the constituency provided for the institu-
tion was truly remarkable. Each year the District has budgeted:
_$500 for the commissary, When Professor Nitz began his work
as assistant, the District purchased a house and placed’ it at his
disposal. The congregations which heretofore had supplied pro-
visions ‘in large quantities continued to do so, and, beginning with

°1942, the congregations of Southern Idaho joined this worthy un-

dertaking on a large scale. In that year they sent a truck ‘with
eight.tons of food; this year a larger truck brought eleven tons,
and along with the food came cash donations of. $857.30. The
commissary presented no problems, . ,

A very active group of Lutheran women from all parts of the
District meets on the campus in. the fall of each year; it has col-
lected $1,120.50 for the school in the past three years. From
various other ‘sources the school received $1,450. Several months
ago the school. became the beneficiary of a bequest of over $1,000,
to be applied to the cost of a new building. The Christians of the
Oregon and Washington District have been mindful of their school.

Change of Name

In view of the fact that the Portland Concordia has no college
department and that its name ‘is a misnomer, the Oregon and
Washington District at its 1943 convention petitioned the Board
of Control to initiate procedure to have the name changed. The
Board of Control therefore memorializes Synod to change the
name “Concordia College, Portland, Oregon” to “Concordia
Academy, Portland, Oregon.”

The Board of Control wishes to express its gratitude for the :
wholehearted and sympathetic co-operation of Synod’s Board of
Directors and Board for Higher Education. ‘

: Wuereas, In years past statistics have shown that the per-

centage of boys from the Oregon and Washington District who
complete their ministerial and normal courses is greater than the
. ‘average throughout Synod; and .
, Wuergas, Many of these boys would not ‘be students of a
synodical institution if it were’ necessary for them to attend one
still further removed ‘from their homes, especially in ‘the early.
years following their confirmation; and = ,
