In response to encouragement given by Synod, Concordia
Teachers’ College has conducted summer-school and extension
work to provide advanced study opportunities. The summer-school
session at River Forest extends for six weeks, and the extension
work is conducted on Saturdays from September to the middle
of May. To accommodate such as cannot come to River Forest,
we have provided for courses in other Lutheran centers, namely,
in Milwaukee, Fort Wayne, St. Louis, and Southern Illinois.

Extracurricular Activities

Extracurricular activities are, to the extent that this is possible,
under the guidance and direction of individual faculty members.
The attempt is made to relate these activities as closely as possible

other words, to make them “intracurricular.”

Deserving special mention is the Student Mission Activity
Group, which in the course of the school-year has carried out
extensive canvass projects in various areas of Greater Chicago and
in a number of congregations and is supplying missions with or-
ganists, choir-directors, and Sunday-school teachers. For a Youth
Leadership Group regular programs are provided in which prac-
tical demonstrations are given in leadership of young people’s
organizations.

Two synodical Districts regularly hold their conventions at our
Concordia, and both during the school-year and during the vaca-

various other Lutheran groups hold meetings at River Forest.

Our Board of Control wishes to express deep appreciation to
faculty and students for their faithful and efficient service in all

these activities.
Student Employment
