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
