| | WALTER L. ROSIN, S .T.M. | Assistant Professor of Religion « | As maturing minds and bodies demand nourishment, so does maturing faith demand meat in the study of God's Word (Hebrews 5:13). To help students grow spiritually, dedi- cated men in the religion department guide study of the Scriptures and of various aspects of the Christian experience. A new course--Christian Witness --taught by Rev. Erwin Kolb, who joined the Concordia faculty this year as Dean of Chapel, Dean of Men and Assistant Professor of Religion, was initiated into the religion program. The religion department sponsored an area seminar on the history of American Lutheranism led by the Rev. Augu st Suelflow, Director of Concordia Historical Institute, and during the summer, a workshop on ''The Word of God ' led by Professor Herbert Bouman of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. Professors Laetsch, Rosin aad Hackmann are serving as pastoral conference essayists, and Professors Uhlig and Rosin received A.A.L. Faculty-Fellowships for the purpose of complet- ing work toward degrees from Concordia Semi- nary in St. Louis. Through religious instruction students gain knowledge, strengthen their faith, build founda- tions for future study, increase personal Bible study skills, and develop attitudes and prac- tice in Christian living and witnessing.

Expanding lied Unified English Department With the addition of three instructors, Professors Korinko, Parrish, and Roundey, the English Department has expanded offerings in English Literature, Linguistics, Modern Lit- erature and Drama. Future teachers learn to teach with more authority and purpose in the course of Lin- guistics by learning how grammar, pronuncia- tions, vocabulary and spelling came to be what they are. WALTER E. MUELLER, B.A., M.A., Ph.D. Professor of English Acting Academic Dean Division Chairman DAVID E. PARRISH, B.S. Instructor in English The basic courses in composition, speech and literature have been unified. In them the student progresses from the general skills in writing and speaking to more advanced writing about the ideas of great literature. In the freshman English course a pro- grammed text was used to help the student defeat the ''monsters'’ of grammar and me- chanics. Members of the staff are engaged in plan- ning the art, speech, and drama wing of the new fine arts building which will be built in several years. A minor in German is forming and a language laboratory is in the offering. ”
