What Are We Going to Do About
Immanuel College?

It is our own Immanuel, established to prepare
for our Lutheran churches and schools properly
trained pastors and teachers, and to give to our
Lutheran boys and girls that kind of an education

Aid Societies, Men’s Clubs, Brotherhoods, Luther
Leagues, and even Parochial School Clubs who are
going to work, shoulder to shoulder, to help put
Immanuel College “on the map’ and keep it there.
