These words were addressed to the stu- dents of Concordia College by the Reverend Martin Luecke, when he entered upon his duties as director of the institution. They form a fitting expression of the sentiment uppermost in his mind and heart throughout the performance of his duties as ' house father ' of the college family which consists of the boys confided to his care. Love for his college boys is the leading characteristic revealed in all his planning and in the execu- tion of his numerous duties as well as in his general attitude towards the students. The position of a director in our college is an extremely trying and difficult one. In a facetious mood a prominent educator of our country once said that college boys were ' a set of civilized barbarians. ' This may be an overstatement of the case, but still there is some truth in it. To gain and to retain the love and confidence of young independent Americans and, at the same time, to govern and lead them with a firm hand is almost as difficult a task as the work of winning a lot of real barbarians. It requires the heart of a father, the mind of a diplomat, the perseverance of a trainer, and the firmness of a ruling monarch. Director M. Luecke, to whom this book is inscribed, has proved himself equal to this task. He has and he holds the love of his college boys. And this he has managed to do in spite of the fact that a large number of different things connected with the in- terests of the college are claiming, and threatening to distract, his attention every day. It IS his duty to superintend the campus and the kitchen, the gymnasium and the hospital, the heating plant and the general repair work in the various buildings as well as many other kinds of work for the institution. All these duties, however, in spite of being always conscientiously per- formed by him, have never been permitted to interfere with the care which he devotes directly to the boys. The class which dedicates this book to him does so because its members have felt his kindness and his love; they wish to express in this manner their appreciation of his good intentions and of the benefits conferred upon them by his care and management; they offer the dedication of their class book to him as a proof of their gratitude for the education which they have received under his directorate. In con- clusion they take great pleasure in express- ing the sincere wish that the college may be blessed with many more years of his success- ful management and that he himself may continue to enjoy his work in the future, as he did in the past.

Tis but to call to mind the golden days Of youth, when you your happy school days spent.

The final game of the season was the rubber game of our series with St. Pauls. This encounter, a rough and tumble affair, can hardly be called a basket- ball game. Time was taken out frequently to make room for wrangling. Our team led the first half, but St. Pauls had the better of the second half and won. Basketball has taken a dccidiMl l.(i(i t ai Concordia in the last few years. Good teams will be the rule in the future. Although five members of this year ' s team will be lost through graduation, we will again be represented by a strong team next year. With two veterans as a nucleus and a number of promising players, Coach Byroade will encounter no difficulty putting a winning team on the floor next year.

The Music Departments of Concordia Colleges in Indiana, Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska and Oregon are using the Packard Piano ex- clusively and many of the professors and instructors have the Packard in their homes. No better choice could be made to yield the desired satisfaction; no finer selection could be asked, for no finer piano exists. And all Concordians and those who know what Concordia stands for will accept the fact that The Packard, ' ' as the Official Piano of good old Concordia, is sufficient proof and reliable recommendation that they need look no further, when buying an artist ic and first class piano — Grand, Upright or Player.
