who aspire to the office of the preaching ministry. While
Concordia also offers programs in social work, liberal arts.

and many energy-saving modifications to the heating and
cooling systems of the more than 30 buildings which are
located on the 120-acre campus at Seward, Nebr. Concordia,
Seward, herewith expresses its sincere gratitude to the
members of the Synod for their generous “FIR” gifts which
have made possible so many maintenance projects and needed
repairs to the buildings.

The newest building, the library, was formally dedicated to
the glory of God in September of 1981. It adds more than 35,000
additional square feet of floor space to the old library.

The Board of Regents has identified as the present highest
priority building need a fieldhouse which will provide more
space for practice sessions for the spring sports during the
winter months, as well as providing space for the growing
intramural program. The attempt to provide equal opportunity
