Immanuel Conference Meets in
Spartanburg, S.C.

On the morning of August 8 most of the pastors,
teachers, and delegates of the Southeastern-Field ar-
rived in the thriving city at Spartanburg for a four
days’ convention. Pastor Roberts and his kind
people had everything in readiness to make our stay
pleasant.

W. O. Hill conducted the services and Rev. Fred

interest of our college at Greensboro.

During the conference the lay delegates or-
ganized a “Tuaymen’s League.” Delegate J. J.
Whitfield, of Atlanta, was chosen its first president.

Southern States are passing through a period of
business depression, which may react unfavorably on
the enrolment at the various institutions. To date,

than in former years.

At the close of this year’s summer session the
University of Wisconsin conferred the degree of
Master of Arts on Prof. Walter H: Beck. The title
of Professor Beck’s ninty-eight-page thesis is “The
Development of the Parochial School in the Ameri-
can Lutheran Church during the Colonial and Early
National Period.”
