Genes, Genesis, and Evolution By JOHN W. KLOTZ An informative, objective presentation of a subject troubling thousands of Christian college students. Those who have been disturbed by the apparent conflict between the Genesis account and the “observable fact” of scientific investigation will find Genes, Genesis, and Evolution both helpful and comforting. AND it’s written in an easy-to-read style for quick comprehension. THE AUTHOR is both scientist and theologian. A graduate of Concordia Theological Seminary, St. Louis, he received his Ph. D. from the University of Pittsburgh in the field of biology. He is listed in American Men of Science. His background makes him well qualified to write a book of this kind. EVOLUTION—Is It True? How About the Bible Account? What Am I, a Christian, to Believe? For a straightforward, factual discussion of these questions, read Genes, Genesis, and Evolution. NOW, AT LAST, the pros and cons have been assembled in one book. You can learn the evidence for and against such important topics as the development of new species; the age of the earth; restorations of prehistoric men; contribution of genetics; develop¬ ment of one form from another; the origin of life. Here is a book that is authoritative—scientific-Christian. Even the well-informed biologist and geologist will gain new insights from its pages — will find it a helpful reference.

One year later, the Alberta-British Columbia District of Synod was organ¬ ized, with the Reverend A. J. Mueller serving as first President. The original purpose of Concordia was the training of young men for the Lutheran ministry and teaching profession. This is still the primary purpose of Con¬ cordia, although this purpose was enlarged in 1925 when coeducation was introduced, and girls and boys were admitted to training in general courses of study. The Senior High School department of Concordia, fully accredited with the Alberta Department of Education, offers programs of study leading to matriculation to the University, nursing, pre-teacher training, and pre-deaconess training. The junior college depart¬ ment, introduced in 1926, offers two years of pre-theological training in preparation for Concordia Senior College, Ft. Wayne. location Concordia ' s campus of ten acres is situated in Edmonton, the capital of the Province of Alberta, a city of over 200,000 inhabitants. Edmonton is 801 miles west of Winnipeg, 771 miles east of Vancouver, and 350 miles north of the Montana boundary. The school is located in a residential district in the eastern part of the city, high above the beautiful valley of the Saskatchewan River. Edmonton is the home of the University of Alberta. The Lutheran Churches of the city offer further contact with fellow Lutheran people and the opportunity to participate in congregational activity. buildings The administration building, dedicated in 1926, contains the president ' s, trea¬ surer ' s and business offices, faculty room, five classrooms, the typing room, the science laboratory, the chapel, girls ' commons room, living quarters for a faculty member, of¬ fice of the girls ' counsellor, bookstore, and the central heating plant. The dormitory, dedicated in 1926, housing 70 students, also contains the dining hall, the library, a laundry room, the student store, and quarters for the steward and his wife. The ser¬ vice building which is connected to the dormitory contains the kitchen, refrigerating room, storage rooms, living space for maids, and the infirmary, located on the second floor. The gymnasium-auditorium building with a seating capacity of 1,000 was dedi¬ cated in 1953. entrance requirements Admission to Concordia will be granted such students who are of good Christian character and recommended by their pastor. An application form will be found on page one. This application, together with a medical form, must be filled out and returned to the office promptly. These forms must be accompanied by an of¬ ficial transcript of credits from the school previously attended. Theological and teacher-training students must take all courses prescribed by the Synod. To make this possible, reasonable efforts will be made to aid transfer students to meet the re¬ quirements of the prescribed courses. 6 orientation All students attending Concordia for the first time are required to be present for the orientation weekend conducted at a camp on a lake from Friday, September 16 at 12 noon, until Sunday, September 18. This program will be directed by the faculty and will also include all student officers for the coming school year. student life Every member of the campus family, as a professing Christian expresses his willingness to submit to the will of God as the supreme authority governing Con¬ cordia. Every member recognizes the right of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod and the Department of Education of Alberta to lay down principles and standards in respect to conduct and academic achievement. All members endeavor to understand and obey the rules and regulations which the college must make. The motivating power for the enforcing and keeping of all rules is each person ' s love for his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Thus all members of the campus family, student body and ad¬ ministration alike, work with one another in learning, understanding and obeying all rules according to the will of God. The exceptional person who after repeated admonition, proves himself unworthy of this trust, may be dismissed or asked to with¬ draw at any time when his continuance is disturbing to the campus family. worship To the end that all members of the campus family may be drawn closer to Jesus Christ as the true Head of the school, a program of divine worship is provided. Mem¬ bers of the faculty conduct a worship service in the chapel every morning during the week. These services are conducted in a liturgical setting. A chapel folder is dupli¬ cated and distributed at the beginning of each week listing the general theme and sub-topics of the talks along with the text location and hymns. Twice weekly, mem¬ bers of the college ministerial classes conduct chapel services in the evening. Other evenings, devotions are conducted in the various dormitory rooms. Each student selects one of the local Lutheran churches as his church home for Sunday worship and attendance to the Lord ' s Supper. All religion classes are presented not only for the verbalizing of Christian doctrine, but also with the aim of deepening the student ' s spiritual life. student government The appointed head of each suite of rooms in the dormitory is a member of the Dormitory Council. This council meets regularly with the president to discuss problems of student life and ways of applying the Word of God to solve these prob¬ lems. The council assists materially in the supervision of the dormitory. The Student Council is made up of the officers and committee heads elected annually by the student body. The Student Council cooperates with the faculty in the administration of Concordia, giving leadership in the various athletic and social events, assisting in the library, in the publishing of the yearbook and the school paper. 7 student activities Concordia is represented by varsity teams in hockey, basketball and baseball. In addition to the interscholastic sports, a complete program of intra-mural sports is conducted throughout the school year giving every student an opportunity to partici¬ pate in one or more of the following games: hockey, basketball, touch football, bad¬ minton, volley-ball, and baseball. The Concordia Choristers is the mixed chorus which on occasion makes a trip to congregations out of town with a sacred concert or operetta performance. The Concordia Male Chorus is a recently organized group under student direction, which has made extensive tours through parts of western Canada. The Concordia Band, directed by a competent band leader of the city, made its beginning this past year, using instruments which have been provided by the gifts of the Concordia Guild. The Social Committee arranges social activities for the entire campus family at least once monthly throughout the school year. Students are given the opportunity to participate in dramatic productions. The Aurora is the college paper published monthly by the student staff and sent out to members of the alumni assoc iation, other institutions, and friends of Concordia. All students are urged to affiliate with the Walther League society of one of the Edmonton Lutheran Churches. A special privilege is given twice monthly to those students who attend the meetings of their Walther League society. Concordia has a chapter of the Red Cross on the campus. student residences The men ' s dormitory includes fifteen suites of two rooms each accommodating from four to six students. A commons room is located on the first floor. Ample lava¬ tory and shower facilities are provided. Each suite of rooms is equipped with lockers and dresser space. All students are required to do their share in keeping the study and bed rooms clean. The college provides desk, chair, bed and mattress. Students must bring their own pillow, sheets, blankets and towels. Boys are required to wear dress shirts, ties and suit-coats in the chapel, classrooms and dining hall. Every student is responsible for his own laundry. Limited laundry facilities are available in the base¬ ment of the dormitory. The college has no dormitory facilities for girls. Attempts will be made to find Christian homes for girls in the neighborhood of the campus. The rental cost for room only is about $100 for the school year. Girls are expected to bring bedding and towels. Girls who receive their meals in the college dining room are required to pay the board fee of $210.00. health and physical education Special courses in Physical Education and Health and Personal Development are required for the high school grades by the Department of Education as a part of the curriculum. In addition, all students are expected to participate in the intra-mural sports program. Each student must pass a medical examination as a prerequisite for entrance to Concordia. The medical questionnaire is provided by the school. The services of a school physician are retained. control and supporting agencies The Board of Control is charged with the responsibility of operating and super¬ vising the school on behalf of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. The president is the executive officer of the board. The chief support of the institution is from Synodical subsidy. Fees are consequently kept at a minimum for students who have the ministry or teaching profession in view. The financial program of the school is aided greatly by the interest and sup¬ port of the members of the Concordia Guild, an association of societies in Lutheran congregations throughout Canada. The Concordia Alumni Association undertakes a certain portion of support for the college and holds annual meetings. grades and reports Formal reports of the student ' s academic progress and behavior are sent to parents or guardians at Christmas, Easter, and the close of the year. Grade XII students receive their final gra des in provincial subjects from the Department of Education later in the summer. The grading system of the Department of Education is followed. H Excellent (80-1 00) C Unsatisfactory (40-49) A Good (65-79) D Fail (0-39) B Fair (50-64) I Incomplete, no credit 100 credits are required for passing Grade XII. College students may carry one or two Grade XII subjects in addition to their regular courses. Ministerial and teacher-training students must complete all the courses in the high school and junior college which have been prescribed by the Synodical Board for Higher Education. student employment All students are required to do at least 25 hours of work on the college campus without remuneration. Ministerial and teacher-training students whose scholastic standing is high and whose parents desire them to do part-time work for remunera¬ tion, should apply to the president at the time of registration at the beginning of the school year. Students who desire off-campus employment are required to discuss this with the president before completing arrangements. miscellaneous information The college suspends all activities during the Christmas vacation. All students are required to spend these holidays at home or elsewhere. A number of unexcused absences from a class may result in loss of credit in the course. A number of unexcused tardy marks for a class may be counted as an absence. Resident students are required to observe the privilege system for permission to leave the campus on occasion. The number of privileges granted a student is de¬ termined by his class, his scholastic standing, and his respect for the college regulations. All students are required to be present at breakfast every morning except Sunday. 9 $ 20.00 expenses for the year General fees (laboratory, library, medical, school paper, yearbook) _ Administration fees (instructional aids, office supplies and expense, operation and maintenance) . . . ____ __ -100.00 Board fee (for students taking all meals at the college) _ 210.00 Dormitory fee for boys in residence _ -_ _ 50.00 for city boys_ _ - _ _ - _ _ 10.00 Athletic fee_ I 0.00 Typewriter rent (for courses Typing 10 or 20) 10.00 (for personal use of a typewriter)_ 5.00 Organ rental_ 10.00 Piano rental_ 5.00 Graduation fee for college__. __ 5.00 Tuition ($2.50 per credit, $3.00 per credit in commercial courses) . _ _ 95.00 No tuition is required of students preparing for the ministry or teaching profession in the Missouri Synod. 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. Personal funds may be deposited with the secretary 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: (I) 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. 10 Course Offerings JUNIOR COLLEGE Religion Religion 101.

H. SCHWERMANN, . . worthy of double honor ... I Timothy 5:17 The Apostle Paul used the above phrase first as he directed young Timothy to ethical, Christian practice regarding faithful elders in the church. Especially those who labored hard and long with the Word and teaching are deserving of two-fold honor. These words apply perfectly to the man to whom this yearbook is lovingly and respectfully dedicated. The names Concordia College, Edmonton, and Albert H. Schwermann are synonymous. One cannot think of the one without the other. He called Concordia ' s first class together on November I, 1921, at 1:45 p.m. Now a generation and several hundred graduates later, he is still meeting classes each day, in the same genial and interested manner. No one can ever know or understand how much of his own flesh and blood and life is bound up in Concordia and the cause for Lutheran higher education in Canada. It would be impossible to chart the many pinnacles of success and joy, along with the numerous valleys of heartache and near despair which make up the history of Con¬ cordia and Albert Schwermann. We humbly and respectfully accord him the double honor he richly deserves. It is a unique blessing of Our Lord that He made it possible for Concordia to continue to benefit from the splendid collection of talents and experiences of this great man. After he laid down his administrative duties of thirty-three years, he has continued to serve as a full-time professor on the faculty. His ability as a Christian teacher makes the instruction staff stronger. His friendly, self-effacing Christian per¬ sonality gives students and colleagues a real lesson in sanctification. His rich back¬ ground of experience is invaluable especially to the new person who has, under Sod, the enormous task of keeping Concordia at the high level of Kingdom service to which Albert Schwermann brought her. For all of this, we thank Sod fervently. May the Lord of the Church grant Dr. Schwermann many years of happy service to Him and to Concordia. Sod will present him with his crown of righteousness on the day of His appearing. —W. M. W. 21 COLLEGE GRADUATES Garwood Rentz (Mickey), Winnipeg, Man. Mickey entered college in 1950.

Among the first white men to visit the Park was David Thompson, famous explorer and geographer. His crossing of the Athabasca Pass in 1811 opened up a travel route to and from Boat Encampment on the Columbia River, and the Pacific Coast. Then, along the Yellowhead Pass passed the Overlanders—the only organized overland immi¬ gration from eastern to western Canada prior to the era of railroads. A monument may be seen on the Station platform in Jasper commemorating the courage and daring of the parties of gold-seekers numbering about 250. who in 1862 left their homes in Lower and Upper Canada and journeyed overland by way of Fort Garry, Edmonton, Kamloops and the Cariboo, pioneering an immigrant road to British Colum¬ bia and the west Coast. EASY-TO-REACH UNSURPASSED SKIING it The Whistler Mountain Ski Slopes, only 3V- miles from Jas¬ per village, now provide a complete roster of facilities to serve skiers, and some extremely interesting runs. The new Chalet. located at the 4,2C0-foot level of the mountain, contains an atractive Lounge and a Lunch Counter. Good roads lead to the chalet and a Parking Area provides for more than 100 vehicles. A new electrically-operated Poma- galski Ski Lift runs from the 4,000-foot level of Whistler in a 2,0C0-foot length with a vertical rise of 562 feet. A new Rope Tow is in use on the beginners’ slope and Ski Instruc¬ tors conduct classes for skiers in any category. it Marmot Basin, a natural snow area in the mountains 11 miles from Jasper, offers the ultimate for skiers in a wind- free area in the high country. Highlight of Marmot Basin skiing is the thrilling five-mile downhill run from the chalet to Ihe highway at Portal Creek, where a snowmobile can provide transportation back to the basin.

MALE CHORUS TOUR The Concordia Male Chorus began its activities in the fall of 1953 under the direction of Marvin Janz.

The tour, completed in ten days, was again highly successful. It was a great experience for the twenty-eight boys who were privileged to make the trip.

Dear friend and brother: Here is your copy of the 1955 Concordia Yearbook. We sincerely hope that you will find it interesting and enjoyable to read. The pictures tell the story of some of the activities which have kept our campus family busy this past year. The first twenty pages of the book form the official catalog. We published this as a separate booklet for colleges and univer¬ sity registrars. I ' m sure you will rejoice with us at the news given on the memo insert. The Board for Higher Education ' s decision to ask our Concordia to help Synod train women teachers in the college department is, we believe, a real step forward. A girls ' dorm on our campus will mean so much to our future enrollment. I cannot say too much to you about your great responsibility in seeking out gifted boys and girls to enroll in the special training which Con¬ cordia can give them. After you have informed me of such young people, I shall continue to need your help in encouraging and guiding these future leaders of the Church. Please share your ideas and criticisms with me. I need your good counsel as we try to make Concordia a most effective institution for God and for our Lutheran Church. May God continue to give you joy in His service. Yours, and His, w. mo- .J President WMW acb P.S. I thought you might enjoy reading a copy of the annual report which was distributed to those who attended our commencement convocation. ... m teitospect a d. 1954 - 1955 another year of grace at Concordia College Edmonton «f in nomine Iesu 3h The thirty-fourth academic year of Concordia College was a year of the special grace of God upon us. This special grace of God was necessary as this year a new man humbly and respectfully attempted to step into the shoes of our College ' s first president, the Rev. Albert H. Schwermann, D.D. The older, practised hand was taken off the wheel as the younger, newer hand grasped it in its place. The former steersman had learned of the rocks and reefs which menace the course to be taken. He could often steer skillfully around them. The new pilot on occasion moved dangerously close to some of these hazards, not knowing everything about the course in the troubled waters. A great measure of God ' s grace was needed especially in this year of change. We are all fervently thankful to our gracious Heavenly Father for His love and kindness to Concordia and its campus family. Along with my personal prayer of grati¬ tude to God, 1 wish to make public my expressions of thankfulness to the members of the Board of Control, to the parents of our students, and especially to my colleagues on the faculty who have been unstinting in their encouragement and support of my humble and sincere efforts to serve Christ and His Church on Concordia ' s campus. Without this love and consideration, there can be no success. I also wish to pay public tribute to the members of our College non academic staff, our able office worker, Anna Behrcnds, Mr. and Mrs. Chris, Fuhr in the kitchen, and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bogner, custodians. Their work is done faithfully and with distinction. I also want to make public expression of rry gratitude to God for providing our campus family with consecrated, responsible student leaders. A tremendous responsibility was laid upon the upper classmen in their role as members of the dormitory council. They discharged their duties with a high degree of understanding and faithfulness, thereby giving living proof of the power of Christ ' s Gospel in the life of a youthful Christian. enrollment report Our total enrolment is 103, 26 of which are girls. 6 of our students come from B.C., 59 from Alberta, 2l| from Saskatchewan, 7 from Manitoba, I 4 from Ontario and 3 from the United States. 29 boys are studying for the ministry, and 7 boys and 5 girls for the Lutheran teaching profession.
