CA TALOU 1951 - 1952 i urpips€ tttut j ints 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 necessary 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. A secondary purpose of the college is to prepare boys and girls for entrance into the synodical normal schools at River Forest and Seward, and for deaconess work in Lutheran congregations. In addition, Concordia welcomes also a limited number of Lutheran students who intend to prepare for other professions or who wish to obtain a high school edu¬ cation under Christian teachers in a Christian atmosphere. Specific, pre-professional curricula are offered which prepare for university matriculation, normal training, or nurses’ training. Aims The school seeks at all times to give a thorough and up-to-date training in the subjects listed in its courses of studies and, therefore, requires competence of its teachers and efficient work of its students. In addition, however, to developing a desire for knowl¬ edge, methods of logical thinking and sound judgment, Concordia strives to provide the student with a Scriptural basis for evaluation and criticism, and to inculcate the Christian view of life. At the same time, the teachers at Concordia are aware of the fact that education does not take place only in the classroom. It is more than lessons learned and credits received. A serious effort is made, therefore, to utilize all educational forces at the school’s disposal to develop a well-rounded Christian personality. Requirements For Admission Applicants must have a Grade IX Diploma or its equivalent before they are permitted to enroll. Upon request, the college will mail out two forms, one an official application blank to be filled out by the applicant and the other a medical examination blank to be filled out by a licensed physician. These forms should b,e filled in completely and returned promptly. Every student is required to be present for the opening service at the beginning of the term. Before a prospective student can find out what courses he will be permitted to take at Concordia, he must send in a complete and official statement of standing of 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. Since this evaluation requires some time, these statements should be sent in as soon as possible. Address all correspondence to: Rev. A. H. Schwermann, Concordia College, Edmonton, Alberta. Our Motto: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.’ 20
