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 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
