HERZER who this year is completing fifty years in the service of the Church this 1954 Concordia Yearbook is respectfully dedicated. Vic VjcarU Sl4 Gymnasium - Auditorium Administration Building Dormitory CONCORDIA COLLEGE Historical Sketch Concordia College, a residental high school and junior college of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, was officially opened on October 31, 1921, with a Grade IX enrolment of 35 students. The Caledonian Temperance Hotel at 10875 - 98th Street, now called Fraser Lodge, was the first administration building. A boarding house at 9529 - 110th Avenue served as dining-room, kitchen, infirmary and principal’s residence. Grades X, XI and XII were added in the next successive years, and in 1926 the first of two junior college classes was organized. In the fall of 1924 the Fraser estate (together with several lots owned by the city), covering in area 8.11 acres, was purchased at a cost of $13,800. Building operations began on May 20th, 1925, and were completed on the day of dedication, January 10th, 1926. The total cost of land and buildings at that time was $147,000. Four professors’ residences were erected in 1930 at a total cost of $39,446. In December, 1948, an additional plot of ground, covering 1.86 acres and lying west of the administration building, was purchased from the city at a cost of $5,580. LOCATION AND GROUNDS Concordia College is situated in Edmonton, the capital of the Province of Alberta, a city of over 200,000 inhabitants (including the suburbs), 801 miles west of Winnipeg, 771 miles east of Vancouver, and some 350 miles north of the Montana boundary. The city dates its origin from the year 1795, when a fur trading post was established here by the Hudson’s Bay Company. It was incorporated as a town in 1892, and as a city in 1904. It lies in the centre of one of the most prosperous farming communities in Western Canada. In addition, Edmonton has become the “oil capital” of the country, for thousands of oil wells have been developed during the past seven or eight years and three large refineries have been established on the outskirts of the city. The pro¬ duction of oil has brought with it the construction of huge industrial plants, such as the plant of the Celanese Corporation of America, which alone cost $55,000,000. Edmonton is also at the “Crossroads of the World” so far as air travel is concerned, and is the gateway to the fertile Peace River empire and to the valuable mineral deposits in the far north. All this has made the city an unusually progressive com¬ munity. With its University of Alberta, eleven other colleges, and three public libraries, the city offers excellent educational and cultural facilities. Concordia has its home in a quiet residential district in the eastern part of the city. It lies high above the beautiful valley of the Saskatchewan River, borders the scenic Highlands golf course, and adjoins the Fair Grounds and Borden Park, in which are situated the Edmonton Zoo and municipal swimming pool. The distance from the college to the heart of the city is a 10-minute ride on the Highlands bus line. BUILDINGS The administration building contains five classrooms, laboratory, girls’ commons, library, office, faculty room, chapel, vault, and heating plant. In addition to the dining-room, steward’s quarters, storage rooms, and lavatories, the boys’ dormitory contains 15 suites of rooms, the larger of which are designed for five and the smaller for four students. Each suite has a study and a bedroom, the latter being equipped with a built-in dresser and sufficient lockers for the occupants. All floors in these rooms are covered with battleship linoleum. In the service building are located the kitchen, refrigerating room, storage rooms, living space for maids, and the second storey the sickrooms. A beautiful new gymnasium-auditorium, with a seating capacity of about 1,000 people, was dedicated on April 19th, 1953. CO-EDUCATION AND ACCCREDITATION Co-education was first introduced in 1925, but temporarily discontinued in 1931. Girls were again admitted in 1941. Twenty are enrolled at the present time. The Alberta Provincial High School Course of Studies was introduced in 1939. At that time Grade IX was eliminated since it is no longer part of the senior high school course in this province. Concordia is fully accredited with the Department of Education. 2 In these lines we desire to pay tribute to a truly great pioneer of our church in Western Canada, the Rev. John E. Herzer. Born August 26, 1880, at Plymouth, Wisconsin, he received his early education at Walther College in St. Louis, Missouri, and at Concordia College, Fort Wayne, Indiana. In 1904 he graduated from Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, and thereupon served congregations at Dix and Durango, Colorado, until 1911. From 1911 to 1913 he was pastor at Vernon, B.C., serving at the same time a large mission field in British Columbia, and even Alaska. During the next sixteen years, until 1929, he was pastor of Jehovah congregation in Calgary. From 1929 to 1943 his activity extended over a wider field as immigrant missionary and organizer for Young People’s work in Western Canada, with headquarters in Winnipeg. From 1943 to the present he has served as intsructor in religion and German at Concordia College. Always a systematic worker, Pastor Herzer concentrated his chief attention upon the study of the Bible, and as a result he acquired a brilliant working knowledge of this Book. He was thoroughly at home in all parts of the Old Testament and of the New Testament, ever ready to quote Biblical reference for any topic under discussion. To him the Bible was not a dead volume written only for people of by-gone ages, but rather a living, modern volume with information as pertinent and up-to-date as that of today’s newspaper. Consequently, all his presentations of Biblical truths, whether in sermons, lectures, or classroom instructions were intensely fascinating, constantly applying its lessons to the twentieth century and emphasizing that in its chapters was to be found the only salvation through Jesus the Crucified for sinners living in a dying world. Pastor Herzer is an extremely humble man. And yet in his congenial, quiet, and unassuming way he exerted in his long pastoral activity a tremendous influence upon scores of pastors throughout Western Canada. Many a pastor became a better preacher because Pastor Herzer led him more deeply into a knowledge of Holy Scriptures. Far- reaching was his influence upon young people. In Bible institutes, Walther League camps, young people’s conventions he was, and still is, a highly popular lecturer; and no lectures of his were more interesting than those dealing with explanations of chapters from the Bible. For the students here at Concordia during the last eleven years his classes in religion were always a daily delight. The sound Biblical foundation, laid in the pioneer age of our church in Western Canada we owe, by the grace of God, in a marked degree to the humble and quiet services of this noble man of God. Pastor Herzer, we join our hearts with yours in praise and thanks to our Heavenly Father for having graciously permitted you to complete fifty years of eminently blessed work in the service of our Saviour’s kingdom. We salute you as a prince in Israel! May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you. May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace! A. H. SCHWERMANN. 3 COLLEGE A. H. SCHWERMANN, B.A., B.Ed., D.D. A. H.

MISS IRMA LUCHT THE REV. WALTER M. WANGERIN We herewith present the new president of our institution, the Rev. W. Wangerin, until lately pastor of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Grand Forks, North Dakota. The news of his acceptance reached us just in time to make this issue of the yearbook. Pastor Wangerin comes to us highly recommended. He has had wide experience in many fields of church work. He received his higher educa¬ tion at Concordia College, Fort Wayne, Ind., and at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, Mo., graduating in 1942. During the past few years he has been attending the University of North Dakota and is about to receive his degree of Master of Science in Education. His thesis is entitled “Adult Education in the Lutheran Church.” Even before his graduation, Pastor Wangerin had experience in ministerial work. He supplied at San Antonio, Texas, and at Detroit, Mich. (1939-1941). After his graduation from the Seminary he accepted a call as assistant at Bethlehem Congregation, Saginaw, Mich. From 1943-1945 he was missionary under EPC at Vauport City, Oregon, and during this time also assisted in the music department of Concordia College, Portland, Oregon. From Vauport Rev. Wangerin accepted a call to the office of the International Walther League, with headquarters at Chicago, Ill., serving in the capacity of Assistant Secretary from 1946-1952. Since then he has been pastor at Immanuel Lutheran Church, Grand Forks, North Dakota. Pastor Wangerin has also had much experience in Synodical and other administrative posts. While he was in the Northwest he was secre¬ tary of the Department of Public Relations of the District and a pastoral advisor to the Walther League. From 1946 to 1951 he was a member of the National Board of the Lutheran Educational Association and edited the yearbook for 1950. From 1950-1952 he was Director of Synod’s Chris¬ tian Youth Emergency Action. Since coming to North Dakota he has been a member of the District Board of Directors, the Board for Parish Edu¬ cation, the Youth Committee, and Bible Study Advance Chairman. It gives the Yearbook Staff special pleasure to welcome the Rev. Wangerin into our midst. May the Lord be with him and grant him a long and successful tenure of office at our Edmonton Concordia. 6 MARVIN JANZ ( Marty) Stony Plain, Alberta Marvin entered Concordia in 1948.

Textor. 17 CATALOG 1954 - 1955 Purpose and Aims 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 educa¬ tion 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 course of studies and, therefore, requires competence of its teachers and efficient work of its students. In addition, however, to developing a desire for knowledge, 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 educa¬ tion 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 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 be filled in com¬ pletely 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 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 time, these statements should be sent in as soon as possible. Address all correspondence to: Concordia College, Edmonton, Alberta. Our Motto: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. 18 CURRICULA Concordia offers courses on the junior college and the high school level. The junior college course is that prescribed by the church for its pre-ministerial students. The academic work in the high school is that outlined in the official regulations of the Department of Education of Alberta. One hundred credits are required for a High School Diploma. The Department promotes students of Grade X and Grade XI upon the recommendation of our teachers. Students of Grade XII must write the provincial examinations. At least a “B” standing is necessary for students taking the Ministerial, Pre-Normal, and the University Matriculation courses. All students are required to take the prescribed courses in religion.

Music 10: The course is that prescribed by the Department of Education for Music 10. Its requirements are chorus singing, with ear-training and sight-reading; elementary theory; and music appreciation.—Four credits. DISCIPLINE— All students are required to live a Christian life and to conform to the rules and regulations of the college. 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 themselves as Christian 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 (profanity, theft or offences against morality), 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. Students leaving for vacations are required to attend all classes until the official close and must return in time for the official opening of the school. Only under extraordinary circumstances will exceptions be made to this rule. The opening and closing dates are always published in the catalog. Extra-Curricular Activities AN ACTIVE LITERARY COMMITTEE— An active Literary Committee plans programs, lectures, movies, and social activities for Friday evenings throughout the school year. Besides, all students have the privilege to join one of our local Walther Leagues where they may take part in young people’s work. MUSIC— Besides the Music 10 course there are various extra-curricular activities in which students may take part. The major musical group is the “Concordia Choristers.” Students who wish to take lessons on the piano or some other instrument, parti¬ cularly those who seek to obtain the A.R.T.C. of the Toronto Conservatory of Music, are assisted in finding qualified and competent teachers in the city. Several pianos are available for practice at the college. DRAMATICS— Since dramatics develop the ability to appear before an audience and gives training in public speaking, it receives due attention at Concordia. Shorter plays are given at regular intervals. The major effort is usually an operetta or a longer play, which is given not only in Edmonton but also at outlying points. ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES— Every student is encouraged to take part in some sport or exercise. The large campus offers ample recreational opportunities. Among these hockey, baseball, soft- ball, volleyball, and skating are the most popular. The new gymnasium provides excellent facilities for athletics and gymnastics. “Adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.”—Titus 2, 10. 24 PAYMENTS General Fees (laboratory, library, medical, athletics, school paper, yearbook) $ 22.00 Administration Fees ( instructional aids, office supplies and expense, operation and maintenance) ___ 60.00 Board Fee (for those students who take all their meals at the College) _ 180.00 Note: Charges for board are subject to change as the economic situation may demand. Dormitory Fee (for those boys who live in the boys’ dormitory) . _ 30.00 Typewriter Rent (Typewriting 10 or Typewriting 20) _ 10.00 Tuition: $2.00 per credit carried, including religion, approximately_ 80.00 $3.00 per credit in commercial courses (bookkeeping and typewriting) Note: No tuition is required of students preparing for the ministry or teaching profession in the Missouri Synod. REGULATIONS REGARDING PAYMENTS All cheques and money orders covering student fees should be made payable to CONCORDIA COLLEGE and addressed to the Treasurer, Concordia College, Edmonton, Alberta. All cheques and money orders covering books, stationery, girl’s room rent, music, band, and personal needs should be made payable to THE SECRETARY, and mailed to her. With regard to a 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 are reasonable. Personal funds may be deposited in the secretary’s office for safe-keeping. General fees and typewriter rent are payable at the time of registration. All administration, board, dormitory, and tuition fees are payable quarterly, in advance. Hence, payments for these latter items fall due on: (1) the opening day of the school year; (2) November 15th; (3) February 1st; (4) April 15th. If students are unable to make their quarterly payments on time, the following periods of grace will be given: For the 1st Quarter: four weeks after the opening day. For the 2nd Quarter: two weeks after the beginning of the quarter, or up to December 1st. For the 3rd Quarter: two weeks or up to February 15th. For the 4th Quarter: two weeks, or up to May 1st. 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 cooperation 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 costs at the beginning of the school term. When this is done, a proportionate refund is made for administration, board, dormitory, and tuition fees in the event a student finds it necessary to discontinue his studies during the course of the school term. General fees are not refundable after four weeks, and typewriter rent not after eight weeks. Anyone arriving late in fall receives no rebate and must pay all fees in full. Fear the Lord and serve Him in sincerity and in truth.”- — Josh. 24, 14. 25 ACCOMMODATION 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 Christian homes for such girls as wish to enroll. In recent years girls have paid a minimum of $75 a year each for rooming accommodation where two girls occupied the same room and a minimum of $100 a year where a room was occupied by only one girl. Under these conditions girls had to supply their own bed linens, towels, and soap. Correspondence is invited from those who are interested. Girls who receive their meals in the college dining room are required to pay $180.00 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. 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. CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY: The college suspends all activities during Christmas vacation, and under ordinary circumstances we assume that a student will spend his holidays elsewhere. In excep¬ tional cases he will be permitted to remain in the dormitory, provided that this is requested by the parents. AWARDS: Friends of the school have again offered some awards to students who achieve the highest standing in general proficiency in their classes. A first prize of $20 was given by the A.A.L. Branch of Edmonton for the highest standing in the college division, and another award of $10 from the Edmonton Alumni Association goes to the student who stands second highest in this same division. The Principal’s award of $20 will be given to the occupants of the best kept room in the dormitory. These prizes will be presented at the graduation exercises in June, 1954. The purpose of these awards is to stimulate a greater interest in the study program of the college. We take this opportunity to thank the kind donors and to assure them that these gifts are highly appreciated.
