The Yearbook Staff. VIEW OF CONCORDIA COLLEGE IN 1946 SHOWING THE IMPROVED GROUNDS WITH THE FINE NEW CEMENT WALKS AND CURBING. Director A. H. Schwermann, B.A., B.Ed., D.D. Principal of Concordia College, Edmonton Spiritual father, guardian, friend, and teacher of Concordia’s stu¬ dents for twenty-five years, the name of Director Schwermann has become synonymous with that of our beloved Edmonton Concordia. Born on June 13, 1891, at Jefferson City, Missouri, he studied for the ministry at Concordia College, Fort Wayne, Ind. (1905-1910) and at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, Missouri (1910-1913). Since he graduated from the seminary until now, he has served our church in Canada. He was pastor at Mellowdale, Alberta (1913-1916), and at Wetaskiwin, Alberta (1916-1921). In 1921 he became the first presi¬ dent of our newly-founded Concordia College in Edmonton, and he has served in this office with distinction for twenty-five years. Director Schwermann has served our church also in many other cap¬ acities. In recognition of his outstanding service to the church, Con¬ cordia Seminary in St. Louis honored him with the degree of Doctor of Divinity on June 8, 1946. We take this opportunity to pay tribute to an able man and a humble servant of God. —The Yearbook Staff. 3 4 SCHWERMANN, J. H. HERREILERS, J. E. HERZER, A. GUEBERT, A. R. RIEP, H. F. WITTE.

BOARD OF CONTROL The supervision and control of teaching, college property, finances, teaching staff, and all other matters pertaining to the life of the school are in the hands of the Board of Control, which is elected by Synod every three years and consists of the President of the District in which the school is located, a pastor, and three laymen. The Board of Control meets regularly once a month and comes together also for many special meetings. The following pastors and laymen have served faithfully as members of the Board of Control during the past twenty-five years: Dr. E. Eberhardt (1921-23, 1927-) Rev. A. J. Mueller (1921-30), Jacob Ulmer (1921-27), Ed. Schmidt (1921-23), Hy. Maschmeyer (1921-23), Rev. A. M. Rehwinkel (1921-22), Rev. J. C.

Foerster (1935-37), A. Nickel (1937-46), Teacher Phil. Enders (1944- ). BOARD OF ELECTORS Whenever there is a vacancy on the college staff or whenever Synod decides to add an additional professor to the college faculty, Synod’s congregations are asked to set up a list of candidates for this office. Then the Board of Electors of our college meets and selects from this list of candidates the most suitable man for this position. The Board of Electors consists of the President of Synod, the local Board of Control (one vote), and five other members duly elected by Synod every three years. Members of the present Board of Electors are: President J. W. Behnken, the Board of Control, and Pastors A. Appelt, C. C. Janzow, A. Fuhr, J. Lucht, P. Wiegner. The following pastors have rendered faithful service as members of this board during the past twenty-five years: C. C. Janzow (1923-26, 1932- ), P. E. Wiegner (1923-32, 44- ), C. T. Wetzstein (1923-43), H. J. Boettcher (1923-39), J. W. Herzer (1923-35), E. Eber¬ hardt (1926-32), A. Appelt (1932- ), A. Fuhr (1935- ), W. W. Eifert (1941), J. Lucht (1944- ). 6 The Story of Concordia College Edmonton, Alberta By A. H. Schwermann The story of our college reaches back to the early beginnings of the work of our church in the western provinces and is closely interwoven with it. The first pastor of our Missouri Synod to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Western Canada was the Rev. E. Rolf of St. Paul, Minn. He conducted his first service at Poplar Point, Manitoba, about Pentecost, 1879. The Rev. H. Buegel accepted a call to Winnipeg in 1892 and became our first resident missionary in Western Canada. In 1894 candidate E. Eberhardt was the first pastor to take up residence 800 miles further west at Stony Plain in the territory which today is known as the Alberta-British Columbia District. The affectionate care lavished by the Minnesota District, under the leadership of such men as F. Pfotenhauer, H. Meyer, C. F. Walther, and others, upon this vast new mission field was under the guidance of God not in vain. In 1910 the four western provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia numbered 33 pastors and 10,000 souls. This number had grown to 82 pastors and 16,000 souls in 1920. Many pastors were required for this work. Annually ten, fifteen, twenty, and more candidates were assigned to it. This growing number of missionaries was needed not only for newly organized fields, but also to a very considerable degree for the replacement of such as had returned to the United States. Such constant change of pastors in young mission parishes interfered with healthy growth. It became inevitable that leaders among the laiety and clergy gave increasingly serious thought to the ques¬ tion: Is there a remedy for this disconcerting situation? Can anything be done to re¬ tain the services of our missionaries over a longer period of time? The conviction grew that a native ministry would offer a solution. For native sons, however, the nearest college was at St. Paul, Minn., some 700 to 1,400 miles distant. Such conditions gave little promise to the development of a native ministry. The natural consequence was the question: Why not a Canadian college for Canadian boys? Much discussion in smaller and larger groups throughout the Canadian West was devoted to this matter. The Manitoba-Saskatchewan Pastoral Conference in session at Winnipeg, Feb. 12-18, 1913, took definite action by sending a memorial to the Minne¬ sota District with the petition to assist Western Canada in founding a college. Three months later. May 8, 1913, the pastoral conference of southern Alberta appointed the pastors F. W. Janzow, T. O. F. Herzer and A. M. Rehwinkel as a committee to make plans for the opening of a college in Calgary; its temporary home was to be in a large residence which had been offered by a layman. The war years 1914-1918 caused an abatement of the enthusiasm, but immediately thereafter it flamed up anew. At the Minnesota District convention in St. Paul, 1918, the Rev. A. M. Rehwinkel called a meeting of the Canadian representatives for the pur¬ pose of discussing the problem of a college for Western Canada. And during the same summer the pastors and laymen in session at Bruderheim, Alberta, appointed a college committee (Rev. E. Eberhardt, A. M. Rehwinkel, and Mr. H. G. Maschmeyer), which later offered to organize a freshman class in Edmonton that fall provided that at least ten students would enroll and be willing to pay $250 for fees. Severe crop failures at this time gave little encouragement to the plan. Then came rapid progress. At the convention of the Minnesota District in St. Paul in 1919 the representatives of Western Canada requested (a) Permission to form two separate synodical districts, (b) Approval of a petition to the Synod to organize an educational institution. Both requests were readily granted. Synod at Detroit in 1920 Resolved to Found College in Western Canada Came the eventful session of Synod in 1920 at Detroit. Chief spokesman for the Western Canadians was President Herman Meyer of the Minnesota District. His masterly presentation of Canadian needs carried conviction and resulted in the follow¬ ing action of Synod: (1) To establish a college in Western Canada, which is to organize the freshman high school class (sexta) in September, 1921, and to add classes and buildings as the need arises; (2) To empower the Board of Directors to select the location; (3) To appropriate $50,000 for buildings exclusive of $22,000, which is anticipated from the brethren in Canada. These resolutions mark a distinct epoch in the history of our church in Western Canada, for they gave to our mission work in this large territory the character of per¬ manence and stability—a stability which had already been achieved by the Ohio Synod, the General Council, and the Norwegians, when some years before they had founded institutions of higher learning at Melville, Saskatoon, and Camrose, resp. In conformity with instructions received at Detroit, the Board of Directors oc¬ cupied itself with the problem of finding a permanent home for this new child in the family of synodical schools. As its representatives, President Dr. F. Pfotenhauer and Mr. Henry Horst of Rock Island, Ill., started a long journey on November 7, 1920, and visited Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary, and Regina, with a stop-over in St. Paul, where they conferred with the Mission Board of the Minnesota District. After hearing a detailed report of this committee, ' the Board of Directors, on December 4, 1920, unanimously selected Edmonton as the site for our Canadian college. Edmonton is the capital of the province of Alberta, 800 miles west of Winnipeg and 800 miles east of Vancouver, and some 350 miles north of the Montana boundary. At that time its population numbered 66,000 (today, 1946, 111,000), and it is the centre of a sizeable Lutheran constituency. For many years our members in Saskatchewan and Manitoba had taken a keen interest in the founding of a college. Convinced that a college at Saskatoon would serve the church more adequately, these brethren addressed a petition to Synod at Ft. Wayne in 1923 that the institution be moved, yet at the same time they gave commend¬ able support to Edmonton, for already in the second year they had enrolled no fewer than nineteen boys from their midst. The Synod referred this request to its Board of Directors for further study and action. The final decision of tne Board was made on September 10, 1924, in favor of Edmonton. Appointment of First Board of Control and Election of First Principal, 1921 Under date of January 25, 1921, Dr. Pfotenhauer announced in the “Lutheraner” the appointment of the first Board of Control, viz., the pastors E. Eberhardt and A. M. Rehwinkel, and Messrs. Jacob Ulmer, Henry G. Maschmeyer, and Edward Schmidt. 8 President H. Meyer was ex officio member and in his place -a year latet the Rev. A. J. Mueller, president of the newly organized Alberta-British Columbia District. This an¬ nouncement furnished the new school its official name, Concordia College. The election for the principalship of the college was held in Calgary on July 5th, 1921, at the first convention of the new district, and under the chairmanship of Vice-President G. A. Bernthal of California Pastor John E. Herzer of Calgary, who as chairman of the pas¬ toral conference had done much work preparatory to the formation of the district and the founding of the college, was elected. He declined this call. It was then extended to Pastor A. H. Schwermann of Wetaskiwin, who had served Alberta mission parishes since his graduation eight years before. He accepted the call, and moved to Edmonton August 18, 1921. Rented Buildings Provide First Home for College In conformity with the synodical resolution earnest attempts were made to open the new school in September. One of the first matters to demand attention was the renting of a suitable building—for how many students? The answer could at first be based on guess-work only. Pessimists predicted an enrolment of 8-12, realists 13-18, and optimists 19-25 students. The optimists won; and so as lease was taken on the Cale¬ donian Temperance Hotel at 10875 98th Street, but possession could not be obtained until October 16. This boarding-house offered accommodation for a maximum of 25 students on the second and third floor. The first story was to be used as a class room and as residence for the principal’s family, and the basement for the kitchen and dining room. By the early part of October twenty-five announcements had arrived, and more were coming daily. Officials became restless; shall we refuse admission to boys for lack of room? Promptly the Board resolved to rent another building. Days packed with worry sped by until the good Lord finally moved the owners of a Lutheran hospice to place their premises at our disposal. This building at 9529 110th Avenue provided room for the college dining room, kitchen, and infirmary, and for the family of the principal. Barely two weeks remained to convert a badly delapidated boarding house into a habitable college building. The heroic work required to achieve this almost impossible task is known only to those members of our congregations who volunteered to lend a helping hand under the valiant leadership of Pastors Rehwinkel and Eberhardt. The installation of Principal Schwermann was set for Sunday, October 30, 1921. The Rev. Wm. Hagen of Detroit delivered the installation sermon, and as representative of the Board of Directors offered much valuable advice on vexing problems in long meetings with the Board of Control. Pastor Hagen’s attitude was one of sincere kind¬ ness and understanding—a characteristic of all synodical officials with whom we had to deal during the past twenty-five years. President A. J. Mueller conducted the instal¬ lation ceremony, which took place in the National Hall on 109th Avenue. Among the many visitors were the pastors of Alberta and British Columbia, who had been in session as a pastoral conference at Leduc. Pastor Paul Wiegner of Saskatchewan delivered a Reformation sermon in the afternoon. College Opened October 31, 1921 On the following day, Monday, October 31, 1921, the college was officially open¬ ed with a service in St. Peter’s church, the principal basing his address on the motto of the college: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Ps. Ill, 10). No fewer than thirty-three boys answered the roll call, and two more appeared later. Thirty-five students! What a blessing of the Lord! With much trepidation and a prayerful heart the principal entered the class room on Tuesday, November- 1, at 1:45 p.m. and began the first lecture. 9 The new ship Concordia had now been launched under auspicious circumstances and set out on its voyage. A thousand and one details, which in a well established school are done by routine, required attention, often long study. There were no pre¬ cedents, no older students to guide the new ones; they were all inexperienced, like their teachers. “What shall we do with our laundry?” “Where can I find a dentist?” “Who cashes money orders?” “Where can I have my watch repaired?” “In which store can I buy a cap?” Students directed such and similar questions point-blank at the harassed head of the school in uncomfortable profusion. Mrs. Schwermann, who during the first year had charge of the meal service, added to this profusion by frequently interrupting the meditations of her husband with inquiries concerning the commissary department: “We have no more coal; from whom shall I order a load?” “Mr. Smith will send us some eggs, if we give him a crate; where can I get one?” “The hot water tank is leak¬ ing; which plumber shall I call?” “Student Jones is over here with a deep cut in his finger; have you any peroxide and bandages?” “The freight office called just now and said that a carload of potatoes and vegetables had arrived from Stony Plain; who is to unload this?” Still more serious were the problems bearing on the academic work of the institution. The course of studies was to be similar to the one used in our Ameri¬ can colleges, and it was to conform as much as possible to the one used in Alberta high schools. Just what were these courses? and what books were required? and who were the publishers? Most of the students came with a grade eight diploma; but others had completed only grade seven or even six. What was to be done with these? It is doubt¬ ful whether a solution to many of these truly perplexing problems would have been found, if God in His grace had not given us the noble services of the Rev. Alfred M. Rehwinkel. Although sufficiently occupied with work as pastor of St. Peter’s church, he nevertheless kindly consented to serve as assistant instructor, teaching thirteen periods per week in history, science, geography, and German. He was ever ready to advise and to help. The monumental work performed by him in establishing our Canadian school of the prophets shall ever be held in grateful remembrance. And so the days passed. Multitudinous duties in weeks that offered no relaxation and little time for rest and sleep brought both teachers repeatedly to the verge of ex¬ haustion. A compassionate Board of Control secured the services of seminary student Herman D. Seyer, who arrived after Christmas, taught mathematics and German, and used eighteen periods per week for tutoring the academically deficient. Students were laid up with diphtheria and measles; Mrs. Rehwinkel underwent a serious operation in Rochester; critical illness (that of his children, his wife, and his own) afflicted the home of the principal from New Year to Easter. But in all the hours of perplexity and dis¬ tress there had been innumerable manifestations of the truth of God’s promise: “As thy days, so shall thy strength be”. The prayers of thanksgiving spoken at the close of the first school-year on July 14, 1922, came from the depths of g. ateful hearts. Further Development of High School Department In the next successive years, with a respective enrolment of 51, 48, 65, and 68, grades ten, eleven, and twelve were added. In 1922 the Rev. A. M. Rehwinkel, M.A., B.D., was elected as regular professor, and Mr. ]. H. Herreilers of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, was employed as assistant instructor and served as such until 1924. He was then added to the permanent staff, where he has to this day rendered conspicuously faithful service as teacher and treasurer of the college. The Rev. W. A. Baepler of Winnipeg, who later took an active part in the buildin g program, joined the faculty as regularly elected professor in 1923. Assistance in teaching was also given by the semin¬ ary students H. Earl Miller T24-’25), Karl f. Arndt (’25-’26), and the Rev. Fr. Baepler (’25). When in 1924 the enrolment had grown to 65 students, additional room was provided in a residence at 9522 110th Avenue. The following year this was relinquished in favor of the larger Vinegrove Apartments at the southeast corner of 96th Street and 109th Avenue. 10 Our sojourn in rented quarters ended on December 23, 1925. On that day a short farewell service was held in the old administration building, where we had spent four years and two months and where a total of 126 boys had been enrolled. The first student to enrol in it was William Hedrich of Trochu, Alberta. A class of 13 was graduated from the high school department on June 29, 1925, at which occasion Jacob L. Ulmer delivered the salutatory and Albert F. Reiner the valedictory. Of their num¬ ber Walter Rosnau, later a River Forest graduate, was the first to enter the service of our church as Christian day school teacher in Stony Plain (1927), and Philip Unter- schultz became the first pastor, at Rochester, Alberta (1930). Four students had been laid to rest in God’s acre, no fewer than three during 1923. The complete high school department of four classes had been organized and four professors called. In one of the letters of that period Mr. Hy. Fforst wrote: “Those must have been wonderful days— the getting ready, the opening and final occupation of our first Concordia in Canada”, indeed, they were! Ebenezer! Plans for New Buildings, 1924 Acting upon instructions of Synod at Ft. Wayne in 1923, the Board of Direc¬ tors had settled the question of permanent location in favor of Edmonton on September 10, 1924. This same convention in 1923 made an additional appropriation of $75,000, thereby making available a total of $147,000 for the purchase of land and the construc¬ tion of new buildings. Dr. F. Pfotcnhauer and Mr. Hy. Horst arrived at Edmonton on November 20, 1924, to advise the local Board in building matters. With their ap¬ proval the Board agreed to purchase the Fraser estate (together with several lots owned by the city), covering in area 8.11 acres, at the cost of $13,800. This price included min¬ eral rights, ownership of which prevented coal companies from mining underneath the property. This site is reputedly one of the finest in the city. Situated on Jasper Avenue and Seventy-first Street, it lies high above the beautiful valley of the Saskatchewan river, borders the scenic Highlands golf course, ana adjoins the Fair Grounds and Bor¬ den Park. The distance to the heart of the city is a ten-minute bus ride. Several smaller buildings were included in the purchase and also a large eight-room house, said to have been erected in 1908, which was remodelled at a cost of $1,938 and has since August 28, 1925, been occupied by the principal. In this November meeting of 1924 the well- known architectural firm of G. H. MacDonald and H. A. Magoon, whose fees were 5% of the building cost, was appointed to take charge of building operations; and the building committee consisted of Dr. F. Pfotenhauer, Mr. Hy. Horst, Rev. J. C. Mueller, chairman, Prof. A. M. Rehwinkel, secretary, Rev. E. Eberhardt, Messrs. Jacob Ulmer, Sam Gabert, and R. Wechsel. In 1920 the members of Western Canada had promised to contribute $22,000, chiefly for the purchase of real estate. Early in 1921 Pastor E. Eberhardt had obtained leave of absence from his congregation at Stony Plain and canvassed the majority of parishes in northern Alberta. On February 23, 1921, he reported that pledges amounted to $19,000, his own congregation having subscribed $7,700. Since tne building program envisioned at that time had been postponed for three years, many of the pledges had not been redeemed, while in other parts of the West no action had been taken at all. It was for this reason that the building committee requested the principal of the col¬ lege to place in person the needs before our fellow-Christians. This he did in Alberta and British Columbia when in the spring of 1925 he visited thirty-two congregations in forty-two days, and in Saskatchewan and Manitoba when in the fall of the same year he called on forty-one congregations in forty-two days. One of the highlights of this trip was occasioned by a little twelve-year-old lad who asked for the subscription list and signed one dollar. Questioned as to where he would get this money, he replied: “I’m going to catch ‘mooshrats’.” His faith was strong enough to believe that God would even supply muskrats, when the needs of the kingdom required such. 11 Beginning of Building Operations in 1925 After our architect had made a trip to our colleges in St. Paul, Milwaukee, and River Forest for the purpose of acquainting himself more thoroughly with Missouri Synod architecture, plans made rapid progress. On May 18, 1925, Synod ' s Board of Directors approved of the tenders which had been submitted bv the Poole Construction Co. for the construction of buildings, $97,384; C. R. Frost for plumbing and heating, $19,417; and H. H. Depew Co. for electrical work, $2,598. Materials to be used were tapestry brick, reinforced concrete, and building tile. In a bi-lingual service on May 20, 1925, led by Pastor J. C. Mueller, ground was broken by Principal Schwermann. For the cornerstone laying on July 5th, 1925, also the pastors and lay delegates of the Dis¬ trict were present. From their convention at Stony Plain they, together with fellow- Lutherans, were conveyed the twenty miles to Edmonton and return by special train. Vice-President Fr. Brandt of St. Louis delivered the German and the Rev. C. T. Wetzstein of Regina the English sermon. The cornerstone was laid by President A. J. Mueller and the offering of $215 was designated for equipment. Dedication on January 10, 1926 And then came the day of days—January 10, 1926—the day of dedication. The weather had hitherto been unusually propitious for building operations. Would it hold? Saturday night it began to rain, and on this basis it was safe to predict snow and sub-zero temperature for the following day. But on Sunday morning the sun arose in all his splendor and in a cloudless sky graciously smiled on us till dusk. Forty- three above zero was the maximum for the day, one that the Lord had made! The festive celebration began at two o’clock. President A. J. Mueller, Mr. H. A. Magoon, Mr. Hy. W. Horst, and the Rev. J. C. Mueller took part in a brief opening ceremony. Since the chapel offered room for only 200 people, accommodation was found for more than 800 other guests in all available rooms of both buildings, where a public address system—quite a novelty for those days—had been set up. The first pioneers of Western Canada had been chosen as speakers. Pastor E. Eberhardt, for the German and Pastor H. Buegel for the English sermon. Cordial felicitations were con¬ veyed to the assembly by Vice-President J. Lucht of Saskatchewan. Joyousness was added to the dedication by the presence of some seventy pastors and several teachers of the four western provinces, who held a pastoral conference from Thursday to Mon¬ day. The day’s offering of $335 was used for equipment of classrooms. On the fol¬ lowing night pastors and students assembled in the chapel for an academic celebration in which only the Latin language was used for the address as well as for the hymns and prayers. Prof. W. A. Baepler had chosen as his theme, “The importance of a know¬ ledge of classical language for a minister of the Gospel”. A banquet in the dining hall brought the festivities to a happy conclusion. Nothing was more fitting to close this chapter in the history of our school than a letter written for the dedication by Mr. John Burkhart, a layman of the congregation at Hoffenthal, Saskatchewan, which extolled the goodness of the Lord in a marvellous symphony of praise and thanksgiving taken from pertinent prayers of David and Solomon. (Cp. “Unsere Kirche”, March, 1926). Building of Residences in 1930 In 1929 a building committee composed of Pastor E. Eberhardt, Prof. M. W. Riedel, and Mr. John Armbruster began to plan the erection of residences for our teachers. Mr. Hy. Horst, as the representative of the Board of Directors again made a trip to Edmonton the end of March, 1930, and assisted the committee with expert ad- 12 vice. In the ensuing meetings arrangements were made with the city land department to exchange on even terms the eleven lots at the north end of our property (along a street car line) for eleven more serviceable lots along Jasper Avenue immediately to the east of the college grounds, across Seventy-first Street. The contract for four houses, designed by architects MacDonald and Magoon, was let to Thomas Ingram on June 24, 1930. This building program was completed in the fall of the same year at a cost of $39,466. The Tax Case in 1930 The Edmonton Charter exempts the following lands from municipal and school taxes: “The land not exceeding four acres of and attached to or otherwise bona-fide used in connection with and for the purposes of any university, college, high school, public or separate school, seminary of learning or hospital owned by a corporation ... so long as such land is actually used and occupied by such institution but not if otherwise occupied”. Before proceeding with any plans for new residences, our Board addressed a letter under date of August 3, 1929, to the city assessor with the question: “Are teachers’ residences considered to be ‘buildings used in connection with and for the use of colleges’ and therefore exempt from taxation?” The assessor referred the question to the city solicitor with the statement: They wish to have full assurance on the matter of exemption before proceeding [with an extensive building program]”. The solicitor gave it as his opinion that land occupied by residences used by instructors of the college are exempt, and this opinion was communicated to our Board by the city assessor. It came, therefore, as a rude shock when, after the residences had been erected in 1930, our Board of Control received notice from this same city assessor that these houses had been placed on the list of taxable property. Our complaints and arguments resulted in the decision of the city’s legal department to place the matter before the Supreme Court in the form of a test case. The case was presented on September 20, 1932, before the trial judge, and his judgment was in our favor. He held that residences occupied by our professors are used “for college purposes” and therefore entitled to tax exemption. In an appeal on June 8, 1933, the appellate division reversed the judg¬ ment of the trial judge. Their contention was that ‘‘the land on which these pro¬ fessors’ residences are located is used and occupied by men who are in the employ of the institution, which does not constitute occupation by the institution”. There¬ upon the case was submitted to the Supreme Court of Canada in Ottawa, where on February 6, 1934, our appeal was lost, three of the five judges upholding the decision of the local appellate division. Go-education Introduced in 1925 On August 11, 1925, our Board was confronted with the request to enroll a Lutheran girl who had the intention to become a Christian day school teacher. The request was granted, and as a consequence three girls were admitted in the fall of 1925. During the years 1925-28, when they numbered three, four, and seven respectively, lodg¬ ing was given them in the homes of our teachers. Two old houses, bought with the property in 1924, were then joined west of the adm.nistration building and converted by our teachers into a girls’ dormitory. In the fall of 1928 twelve girls moved in, and the following year there were nine. Miss Melanie Lange of Claresholm, Alberta, oc¬ cupied one of the rooms as matron, 1928-30, and taught music and domestic science. The school-year 1930-31 opened with only four co-eds present. Coeducation, except 13 for day students only, was then discontinued in the year 1931, and the badly delapid- ated dormitory buildings were sold for $300. It had become evident that girls pre¬ paring for the teaching profession did not receive adequate training in a school in which the curriculum had been designed for ministerial students only; and a limited staff did not permit the introduction of a number of courses required as prerequisite for normal training. After the introduction of the provincial high school course, however, co-eds enrolled again. Five appeared in the fall of 1941, and then their number grew to thir¬ teen in ’42, fifteen in ’43, twenty-two in ’44, and twenty-eight in ’45. They receive me als in the college dining room and lodging in homes near the school. During the year 1945-46 eighteen had residence in the homes of our professors. Provincial High School Course Introduced in 1939 Already in the early thirties serious thought was given to accreditation, and various surveys were made by the faculty. However, since Synod was contemplating a reorganization of its educational system and the provincial Department of Education had in mind to make far-reaching changes in the high school courses, no action was taken until the latter part of the thirties. Encouragement to seek such accreditation was given by the fact that some of our ministerial graduates were refused admission to universities because they had not received their training in an accredited school, and also by the fact that the synodical Board for Higher Education had suggested in 1937 that “each institution should meet the state or regional requirements for graduation from high school”. Accordingly, the provincial course of studies as prescribed for the high school of Alberta was introduced in 1939. This necessitated the introduction of textbooks prescribed by the Department, reduction of forty-five to thirty-five minute periods, and for our teachers four to six courses at the University of Alberta for the purpose of ultimately acquiring the degree of Bachelor of Education, or its equivalent. All members of our staff have met this requirement or are in the process of meeting it. In order to obtain 100 credits for a high school diploma, students of grades ten and eleven must be promoted by accredited teachers, and they must pass the prov¬ incial examinations set for grade twelve by the Department of Education and corrected by them. Students are promoted by subjects, not by grades. When this course was introduced in 1939, grade nine (sexta) was at least temporarily eliminated, because its retention would have required an additional accredited teacher. And furthermore, grade nine is no more part of a provincial senior high school. The former division of eight and four grades has been replaced by the six-three-three system, which makes grade nine part of the intermediate school. Since the introduction of this new division many parents prefer to keep their boys and girls home until they have completed the intermediate school. The college is visited annually by provincial inspectors and in¬ variably receives words of commendation from them. Its students have done good work in their final examinations and in achievement have held second or third place among the hundreds of provincial high schools. Junior College Department Added in 1926 Since by resolution of Synod in 1926 the scope of our school was enlarged to a junior college, the freshman college class was organized in the fall of 1926 and the sophomore class in 1927. On June 19, 1928, the first college class was graduated, and of its nine members eight proceeded to Concordia Seminary in St. Louis and later en¬ tered the ministry. The present writer cheerfully pays well-deserved tribute to the 14 whole-hearted cooperation given him at all times by the members of the staff and to their exemplary application to duty in the cause of promoting Christian higher educa¬ tion in Western Canada and particularly in training workers for the kingdom of our Lord. Helpful and stimulating visits have been made by our synodical officials, Dr. F. Pfotenhauer (1922, ’24, ’26, ’30), Dr. F. Randt (1933), Dr. Hy. Grueber (1933, ’41, ’45), Dr. O. P. Kretzmann (1940), Dr. J. Behnken (1940, ’43, ’44), Dr. A. Brunn (1943), Rev. G. Chr. Barth 11942, ’45), and Prof. Theo. Hausntann (1942). Generous Support of College Our fellow-Lutherans have never tired of giving us material assistance. For the levelling of grounds, done by our students during two weeks in October, 1926, farmers placed at our disposal thirty-eight horses—twelve one week, twenty-six the other. Pas¬ tors who had served in Western Canada up to 1922 and whose names are inscribed on a memorial tablet in our chapel gave one thousand dollars for equipment of the new chapel. Meat, butter, eggs, lard, and victuals of every description have year after year found their way into our kitchen. More recently $3,000 were contributed for the beautification of the grounds. And then the women, the good women in both districts—may God bless them for their never-failing kindness! In the early years those here in Edmonton invited students into their homes for Sunday meals. Every week they took care of their laundry, and some are doing this even today; and once a month they mended the students’ clothes. They have contributed much to the success of our annual College Day, which since 1929 has been held every year on Pentecost Monday. In the fall of 1933 they introduced a Donation Day and have had such days regularly ever since, every spring and every fall, at which occasion they shower our kitchen with gifts and are in return entertained by the students. Annually the Shower Committee has sent out appeals to all women in both districts, and annually these appeals were an¬ swered with funds for equipment of the infirmary, the office, the faculty room, the din¬ ing hall, for radio, piano, typewriter, for curtains and shades, for sewing machines, for advertising, for catalogues, for projectors, for furniture in the girls’ lounging room, in the boys’ lounging room; and their latest project is the complete replacement of fur¬ niture in the boys’ dormitory. Since the opening of the college in 1921 our Christians in Western Canada have contributed cash in the amount of $37,558.59. Of this total $19,000 was designated for the building site and $18,558.59 for all other purposes. And from our fellow-Christians in the States we received the amazing sum of $312,495.78. In Conclusion Such is the story of our Canadian Concordia, as it unfolded itself during the first twenty-five years of its existence. God has been good to our school. It has had a total enrolment of 471 students (401 boys and 70 girls). Sixty-two of its graduates have entered the ministry, and forty-one of these form 45% of our present clergy in Western Canada. Seven have entered the teaching profession in our church. Concordia stands as a constant reminder of the vision and faith of our pioneers, a concrete testimony of the open-hearted and open-handed love of our American Christians for our Canadian missions, and a monument to the undeserved kindness of a gracious God. To all our friends and fellow-Christians our hearts go out in deepfelt gratitude. And unto Him whose blessings have been new unto us every morning, to Him that loved us and wash¬ ed us from our sins in His own blood, to Him whose grace we implore for future de¬ velopment, protection, and guidance—to Him be blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might for ever and ever. 15 Edmonton Graduates in the Service of the Church BARON, C.

During the past year Waldimar served faithfully and well as the president of the student body, being always willing to help the students with their problems. His polite manners and ready laughter made him many friends during his stay at Concordia. Wal¬ dimar always took an active part in sports activ¬ ities, playing hockey, baseball, handball, and vol¬ leyball. He also enlisted his boundless energy in church work, teaching Sunday School and serving on the executive of the Bethlehem Walther Lea¬ gue. His work in his studies was always of a very high calibre. LOWELL GUEBERT—Edmonton, Alta. Lowell was one of the most active members of the student body during the past nine months, filling many posts well with his excellent organizing ability. His cheerful nature endeared him to many Con- cordians. He served as the head of the Literary Committee, which supplied excellent entertain¬ ment for the student body throughout the year, and held the important position of news reporter of the AURORA staff. He was co-manager of the Concordia canteen, and also played a leading role in the school operetta. Sports activities constitut¬ ed a great love for Lowell—he played left wing on the hockey team for several years, and on the baseball team he held down the keystone posi¬ tion. He was also adept at handball and volley¬ ball. 20 DEPARTMENT FIRST YEAR COLLEGE WILLARD EIFERT—Born in Leduc, Alta., he is fired with patriotism and he never lets us forget the name of his home town. Willard loves to play the part of a hard man, but his soft heart soon gives him away. His other joys were to tell jokes of varying quality, to fiddle with electric wires, and to spend the week-end at home. In the school-year just passed Willard filled the posi¬ tion of secretary of the student body. He was also the head of the menu committee. In sports activities he was very enthusiastic and always will¬ ing to take part in a game of hockey, baseball, handball, or volleyball. His studies were always well up to par. ROLAND E. MILLER, Neudorf, Sask., has been a lively spark plug in Concordia’s well-organized machine. As was amply proved in the past school-year, the diversity of his activities took nothing away from the excellence of the showing he made in each. For he was co-manager with Lowell Guebert in Concordia’s Canteen, a bril¬ liant student, a starry center-forward, a pivot- man as shortstop on Concordia’s baseball team, a deadly shot in handball, a volleyball enthusiast, and a sure winner in ping-pong. Roland, as chair¬ man of our Athletic Committee, guided our sports activities. He was the tireless editor of our AURORA. His popularity can be easily seen by the fact that he was awarded the position of Presi¬ dent of Grace Walther League, by popular vote. COLLEGE DEPARTMENT Our College Department comprises two junior college years, above Grade XII, and is affiliated with Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, Mo., where students specialize over a period of five years in the study of theology. The course in this department is design¬ ed for the ministerial student only. It includes the following subjects: Religion, Latin Language and Literature, Greek Language and Literature, English Language and Litera¬ ture, German Language and Literature, Economics, Sociology, Science Survey, and Humanities. 21 HIGH SCHOOL — GRADUATING ELINOR BEHRENDS Rochester, Alta.

To this is added a thorough course in religion, in which all students are required to register. High school in¬ spectors visit the college annually and invariably speak a word of praise for the work done here. Concordia strives to maintain a high academic standard; and our boys and girls have done good work. In the provincial final examinations, for a number of years, they have held a place very near the top among all the high schools of the province. These high scholastic standards together with the Christian atmosphere which prevails at the school make the High School Department an ideal place for Lutheran boys and girls who seek to obtain a high school diploma. 29 A DAY AT COLLEGE — The rising bell, at 7:00 a.m., begins the day at college for the students. After the morning clean-up in the bathroom (see above), follow breakfast at 7:20 and a short study period. From 8:15 to 8:30 the day is officially opened by a short devotion in the col¬ lege chapel, attended by all the students, with either Dir. Schwermann or Rev. Herzer conducting the service. At 8:30, three bells announce the morning classes. Above is a chemistry class busily at work in the chemistry laboratory under the direction of Prof. Herreilers. All subjects are taught in the light of God’s Word. Above we see one of the regular classes of religious instruction with Rev. Herzer. 6 In the College Department ministerial students prepare themselves for the seminary. The picture above shows a College Greek Class, with Prof. Riep. The very welcome buzzer at 12:00 noon announces that dinner is served in the dining hall. A short prayer, led by the president of the student body, introduces and closes the meal. A brief period of recreation follows. At 1:25 classes begin again. Some insight into the entire span of the history of man is given in the Social Studies classes. Above is the Social Studies II class with Prof. Guebert. Our cooks, Mr. and Mrs. Fuhr, with Rev. Herzer as the staff adviser, capably carry out their task of satisfying the students’ appetites. The students them¬ selves take care of the dishwashing (see above.) 31 The health of the individual student is amply provided for by personal atten¬ tion and by class instructions, supplemented by periods of physical training. (see above). Prof. Witte is the health instructor. Typing classes are taught by Dir. Schwermann and by Prof. Guebert for the student’s own personal benefit, or as a preparation for business courses which students often take after leaving Concordia. Choir periods for the entire student body twice a week under the direction of a professional choirmaster and vocal teacher, Mr. H. G. Turner and of Dir. A. H. Schwermann, supply the students with voice training and help them to appreciate both religious and secular music. A Christmas pageant, portraying the birth of Jesus in song and pantomime, was one of the more ambitious dramatic undertakings of the student body during the past year. 32 Sports activities play a great role in student life. Baseball is the favorite sum¬ mer sport of the boys. The above picture shows an exciting scene at home- plate, with Prof. Guebert as umpire. The girls also receive their share of exercise. During the summer months, soft- ball is their greatest interest. Above we see a scene on the softball diamond, with Rev. Herzer as chief arbiter. Handball, the chief indoor sport, is played generally in late fall and early spring. The above action scene shows W. Eifert, W. Dressier, G. Ries. Hockey is the great winter sport. The picture shows the senior team. Front Row, left to right: R. Miller, T. Lucht, L. Guebert, R. Madu, G. Ries, L. Pearce. Back Row: A. Rimer, E. Fruson, Prof. Witte, W. Fruson, W.

ONCORDII COLLEGE 0 high ft at rG ■ ' T ip edeke hwe The boys’ commons room, which was completely refurnished two years ago, as a result of the generosity of many friends of Concordia, is the favorite lounging-place of the students. The girls’ room was also completely refurnished recently at the expense of the good ladies of Western Canada. Here the girls spend much of their time in work and in play. 35 A DAY AT COLLEGE — Studying is a familiar word to all of Concordia’s students. At the desks of the study rooms such as the one above, the students do most of their work. There are regular study periods every night from 7:00 to 9:00. Here at Concordia the students enjoy the use of a very well-equipped library, which is able to answer most of the students’ needs. Several students act as librarians each year. The Canteen, along with the college book-store, supplies many necessities and refreshments for the students. The co-managers of the canteen, L. L. Guebert and R. E. Miller, were under the supervision of Prof. Guebert. One of the features of our life at Concordia is the nightly inspections which Director Schwermann makes with his flashlight. Unless they have special permission, students must be in by 10:00 p.m. The Lutheran Sunday School by Mail has its headquarters at Concordia. It was established for the purpose of reaching those with the Word of Life who live in outlying areas far from church and school. Founded in 1934 it serves about 1,200 students each year. College students help with mailing and other work. Above we see Prof. Guebert (Superintendent), Marie Bassendowski, and Lois Herreilers and Ruth Ohlinger (two student helpers). The Lutheran Hour with Doctor Walter A. Maier of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, Mo., is now heard every Sunday over a network of 14 stations through¬ out the Canadian West from Vancouver to Winnipeg. Thus the eternal Gos¬ pel is brought to our four Western Provinces, winning souls for Christ. 10,667 letters of thanks and appreciation were received during the past season. Con¬ cordia is now the home of the Western Office of the Canadian Lutheran Hour (Rev. W. A. Raedeke, Superintendent). The above picture shows the students of Concordia assisting in the mass mailing. 37 AUXILIARY — ALUMNI ASSOCIATION When a goodly number of students had gone forth from Concordia, they or¬ ganized the Concordia Alumni Association for the purpose of keeping alive the bond of fellowship among themselves and in or¬ der to support and further the cause of Concordia by all possible means. Rev. A. Rev. A. F. Reiner F. Reiner was elected the first president of the Association; he still holds this position today. Membership in the Association is open to all former students of Concordia, and meetings are held every year in connection with the District Con¬ vention. Many a need at our school has been looked after by this or¬ ganization during the past years. The Alumni have had a large share in the equipment of the beautiful boys’ commons, they have completely furnished the reception room, and they have been re¬ sponsible for much of the fine support given to the recent project of improving the college grounds. At the last meeting the Alumni Association resolved to direct the major part of their future efforts toward the upkeep and further improvement of the college grounds. As an anniversary gift to their school the Alumni resolved to gather $500 this year, which is to be used for the beautification of the col¬ lege campus. But not least important among the efforts of the Alumni has been the encouragement they gave to many young people to come to Concordia in order to study for the ministry or in order to receive a higher education in a Christian school. The Alumni Association has become a very active organization, and its lively interest in the school has proved a boon to our college. 38 ORGANIZATIONS SPRING SHOWER DAY AT CONCORDIA, 1946 THE SHOWER COMMITTEE Few people have been more concerned about the welfare of our students than the remarkably kind-hearted ladies of our congregations in the four west¬ ern provinces. It was chiefly through their efforts, guided by their gracious pastors, that year after year a constant stream of donations has found its way into our school. They arranged a so-called “Shower Day” or “Donation Day” in the fall of 1933, and since that time these days have been held regularly every year, one in spring and the other one in fall. Their organization is of an in¬ formal nature. At the fall shower ballots are cast for a president and secretary. Mrs. W. A. Baepler was the first president, serving from 1933-35, and since that time Mrs. E. Eberhardt has held this position, while Mrs. A. H. Schwer- mann has been secretary since 1933. In addition, a representative from the various congregations in northern Alberta is appointed, and this group forms the “Shower Committee”. They meet at intervals, discuss the welfare of our school, arrange the program for Shower Day, send out invitations, and ac¬ quaint their sisters in the faith throughout Western Canada with the needs of the college. Since 1921 we received 3,071 lbs. butter, 8,049 doz. eggs, 6,960 lbs. fowl, 4,193 lbs. lard, 21,380 lbs. meat, 262 tons vegetables, and groceries in large quantities; blankets, linens, towels, and equipment for our sickrooms; cash donations for the kitchen, $3,907.16; for many different kinds of furnishings and equipment, $5,820.94. It is safe to say that by far the greatest amount of all these donations came to us through the efforts of our wonderfully generous “Marthas” in Western Canada. May God, for Jesus’ sake, reward them richly for all the kindness they have accorded our Canadian Concordia! 39 GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSE The chief purpose of Concordia College is to train young men for the ministry in the Lutheran Church. The ministerial student is required to secure the credits neces¬ sary for a high school diploma and in addition to complete two years of work in the junior college department. After his studies at Edmonton, the ministerial student proceeds to Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri, for four years of specialized theological work. Although the first purpose of the school is to train future ministers of the Lutheran Church and to prepare students for entrance into the synodical normal schools at River Forest and Seward, it welcomes also a limited number of Lutheran students who intend to prepare for other professions or who wish to obtain a high school education under Christian teachers in a Christian atmosphere. For those who wish to prepare for professions, courses are offered in Grades X, XI, and XII which prepare boys and girls for entrance into: (a) Universities (b) Provincial Normal Schools (c) Schools of Nurses’ Training DISCIPLINE All students are required to live a Christian life and to conform to the rules and regulations of the college. They are not to be made Christians, but are to be Christians when they enroll. For that reason admission is granted to such boys and girls only who can furnish written testimonials of their Christian character, and only such will be retained on the school’s roster who submit to Christian discipline and conduct them¬ selves in every way and at all times, whether on or off the campus, as becomes Christian young people. If in the opinion of the faculty a student’s attitude and behavior is such as to make his presence at the institution undesirable or if his class standing is unsatis¬ factory, he may, for the obvious good of the school, be dismissed even though no specific offence meriting suspension or expulsion be charged against him. In accordance with the motto of the college, “The fear of the Lord is the be¬ ginning of wisdom”, regular church attendance is obligatory. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION Applicants must have a Grade Nine Diploma or its equivalent before they are permitted to enroll. Official application blanks as well as any additional information may be obtained by writing to: Rev. A. H. Schwermann, Principal Concordia College, Edmonton, Alberta. Upon such a request for application blanks the college will mail out two forms, an official application blank to be filled out by the applicant and a medical examination blank to be filled out by a licensed physician. The medical examination form will show whether the applicant has any functional disorders and whether he is free from in¬ fectious and contagious disease. It will also show whether he has been vaccinated against smallpox and inoculated against diphtheria. These forms should be filled in completely and returned promptly. Every student is required to be present for the opening service at the beginning of the term. Before we shall be able to tell a prospective student what courses he will be permitted to take at Concordia, he must send us a complete and official statement of standing of the work done in the previous grade. This applies not only to students from Alberta, but also to those from other provinces. The work done in other provinces is evaluated by the Department of Education of Alberta, and credit is given accordingly. 41 EXPENSES Tuition, one dollar per credit (including non-Provincial subjects) or approximately .$ 38.00 (No tuition is required of students preparing for the ministry or teaching profession in the Missouri Synod) Board (for boys living in the college) . 170.00 Board at College (for students rooming in private homes).140.00 Registration Fees . 10.00 (including fees for doctor’s services, athletics, and maintenance) Books, approximately . 20.00 Stationery (also mattress, fountain pen, light bulbs, etc.) . . 20.00 Library Fee . 5.00 Laboratory Fees (for each science course carried) 5.00 Typewriter rent, for those practicing on college machines. 5.00 (for those practicing on their own machine . 3.00) Service Fee (light, water, janitor, etc.) for student not taking meals at the college . 30.00 Anyone arriving late in fall receives no rebate and must pay all fees in full. All checks and money orders should be made payable to: CONCORDIA COLLEGE, and should be addressed to: Prof. J. H. Herreilers, Concordia College, Edmonton, Alberta. With regard to the student’s allowance for spending and personal needs, parents ought to keep in mind that too much spending money may be harmful. On the other hand, it discourages a student if his parents do not give him enough for such things as he needs and as are reasonable. We suggest that all personal funds be deposited with the Treasurer for safekeeping. PAYMENTS 1. The school year is divided into four quarters, and at the beginning of each quarter an instalment of $42.50 ($35.00 for students living in private homes) is payable for board. Flence the payments fall due on the opening day of school, on December 15, March 1, and May 15. 2. The Service Fee for students not taking meals at the college (city students) is payable in four quarterly instalments of $7.50 each, at the beginning of each quarter. 3. Books and stationery are sold for cash only. 4. All other fees must be paid at the time of entrance. PERIODS OF GRACE If students are unable to make their board payment at the beginning of the quarter, the following periods of grace will be given: For the first quarter: Four weeks after the opening day. For the second quarter: Two weeks after the beginning of the quarter, or up to December 31. For the third quarter: Two weeks after the beginning of the quarter, or up to March 15. For the fourth quarter: Two weeks after the beginning of the quarter, or up to May 31. 42 If payment has not been made when the period of grace comes to an end, the student will not be permitted to attend classes until such payment is made. We kindly ask for the co-operation of parents in paying bills promptly, so that the student will not be compelled to miss any classroom periods. Some parents prefer to pay the entire board at the beginning of the school year. In such cases a proportionate refund is made, if for any reason the student finds it necessary to discontinue his work during the course of the year. CAMPUS WORK In view of the fact that Concordia equips its students with a thorough education at an extremely low cost, every student is required to do twenty-five hours of work gratis for the benefit of the school. Such work is done on the grounds, in the buildings, and in the kitchen. STUDENTS ' SUPPORT Our two synodical districts of Western Canada are willing to grant a certain amount of support to a limited number of ministerial students who are really deserving and whose parents find it impossible to pay for their board. All inquiries and applications regarding this matter should be addressed directly to: Rev. F. A. Miller, Neudorf, Sask. (for the Manitoba-Saskatchewan District) or to: Rev. V. Eichenlaub, 710 16th Street North, Lethbridge, Alberta. (for the Alberta-British Columbia District) These applications should be approved and signed by the pastor of the student and should be made as early in the summer as possible. Funds are limited, and for that reason a late applicant may be disappointed. ACCOMMODATIONS FOR GIRLS The college has no dormitory facilities for girls and can therefore assume no responsibility for their lodging. However, attempts will be made to find good Christ¬ ian homes for such girls as wish to enroll. In recent years girls have paid approxim¬ ately $75 a year each for rooming accommodations where two girls occupied the same room. Correspondence is invited from those who are interested. Girls who receive their meals in the college dining room are required to pay $140.00 a year for board. WHAT THE STUDENT SHOULD BRING ALONG Students should bring their Bible, catechism, and hymnbook. Every student living in the dormitory must be provided with the necessary clothing and bedding: pillow, three pillow-cases, two bedspreads for a single bed, three bedsheets, at least three woolen blankets, six Turkish towels, dress shirts, and an ample supply of white handkerchiefs. Mattresses should be purchased in the College Book Store. Boys must wear dress shirts, ties, and suit-coats in the classrooms, dining hall, and chapel. LAUNDRY Every student is responsible for his own laundry. He may send his clothes home or to a commercial laundry in Edmonton or elsewhere. 43 DAILY SCHEDULE Rising Bell . Breakfast . Study Period .

CURRICULA The academic work at Concordia leading to a High School Diploma is recog¬ nized by the Department of Education of the Province of Alberta.

You, too, will want to share in the benefits which come from the reading of good, sound, Christian books and periodicals. Write for one of our catalogues. In its pages you will find hundreds of titles which line the shelves of your Publishing House and which are waiting for your use. Your need for faith-strengthening, character-building Christian literature is our daily concern. We shall be happy to serve you.
