One year later, the Alberta-British Columbia District of Synod was organized, with the Rev. 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 University matriculation, pre- theological, nursing, pre-teacher, and pre-deaconess training. The junior college de¬ partment, introduced in 1926, offers two years of pre-theological training in prepa¬ ration for Concordia Senior College, Ft. Wayne, Indiana, and Concordia Theological Seminary, St. Louis, Missouri; and one or two years of teacher training for transfer to Concordia Teachers ' College in River Forest, Illinois or Seward, Nebraska. 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, 800 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, dean’s, treasurer ' s and business offices, faculty room, four classrooms, the typing room, the science laboratory, the chapel, girls ' commons room, living quarters for a faculty member, office of the girls ' counsellor, bookstore, and the central heating plant. The men’s 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 service 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 dedicated in 1953. Eberhardt Hall, the women ' s dormitory, dedicated in 1956, houses forty students and includes a suite of rooms for the counsellor and family, spacious lounge, recreation room, storage and laundry facilities. entrance requirements Admission to Concordia may 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 which will be fur¬ nished by the office, must be filled out and returned to the office promptly. These forms should be accompanied by an official transcript of credits from the school pre¬ viously attended. Theological and teacher-training students must take all courses pre¬ scribed by the Synod. To make this possible, reasonable efforts will be made to aid transfer students to meet the requirements of the prescribed courses. 5 orientation All students attending Concordia for the first time are required to be present for the orientation weekend conducted from Friday, September 14 at 12 noon, until Sunday, September 16. 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 fo 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 administration 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 withdraw at any time when his continuance is harmful to the common good of the campus family. The student handbook, containing the specific regulations governing our student life, is published and distributed at the beginning of the second year. 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 duplicated 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, members 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 with the primary aim of deep¬ ening the student ' s spiritual life. student government The appointed head of each suite of rooms in the men ' s dormitory is a member of the Dormitory Council. This council meets regularly with the dean of students to discuss problems of student life and ways of applying the Word of God to solve these problems. The council assists materially in the supervision of the dormitory. In the women ' s dormitory, representatives from each floor are chosen to make up the Dormitory Council which meets regularly with the dormitory counsellor and women ' s counsellor. This council serves the same purpose as the men ' s dormitory council. 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 fhe yearbook and the school paper. This council also serves as the channel through which students may make suggestions re¬ garding student life policies. 6 student activities Concordia is represented by varsity teams in hockey, basketball, and baseball. In addition to the interscholastic sports, a complete program of intramural 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, soccer, badminton, volleyball, and baseball. Athletic activities also include wrestling, tumbling and archery. The Social Committee arranges activities for the entire campus family at least once monthly throughout the school year. Students are given the opp ortunity to participate in dramatic productions. The Aurora is the college paper published bi-weekly by the student staff and sent out to members of the alumni association, other institutions, and friends of Con¬ cordia. All students are urged to affiliate with the Walther League society of one of the Edmonton Lutheran Churches. 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. Each suite of rooms is equipped with lockers and dresser space. All students are required to do their share in keeping the study and bedrooms 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. Laundry facilities are avail¬ able in the basement of the dormitory. The women ' s dormitory includes twenty rooms accommodating two students each. A large lounge is included in the dormitory building, with recreation and laundry facilities in the basement. Each room is equipped with adequate space for clothing storage, bed and mattress, desk, chair, and lamp. Students must bring their own pillow, sheets, blankets and towels. music The music department is established primarily for the teacher training students. Provision is made for instruction in piano and organ on both the high school and college level. This instruction is offered by the school to teacher training students only. Arrangements for private lessons for others may be made with the individual instructor at standard rates. In addition to the courses in music offered in the curriculum, students have the opportunity to develop their musical talents by membership in several organizations. 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 Con¬ cordia Male Chorus is a recently organized group under student direction, which has made extensive tours through parts of Western Canada. The Concordia Band, still in its infancy, uses instruments which have been provided by the gifts of the Concordia Guild. 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 intramural sports program. 7 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. The medical fee also includes the students ' participation in a hospitalization plan. 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 officers of the Guild are: Mrs. A. R. Riep, president; Mrs. F. A. Schole, vice-president; Mrs. G. W. Ries, secretary. The Con¬ cordia Alumni Association undertakes a certain portion of support for the college and holds annual meetings. The Rev. Walter Schienbein of Grace Church, Camrose, Alberta, is the president, and the Rev. Walter Schoepp of Bethlehem Church, Edmon¬ ton, is the secretary-treasurer. scholarships and honors The Concordia Alumni Association has begun a fund for the new chapel and places $300.00 into this fund each year in the name of the student selected by the faculty for his unusual achievement in Christian life and scholarship. The home office of the Aid Association for Lutherans makes $1,000.00 avail¬ able for distribution to those college students chosen by the faculty whose scholastic achievement and need can be properly demonstrated. The Edmonton branch of the Aid Association for Lutherans offers a scholarship of $25.00 to the college student with the highest scholastic attainment. Gifts from various congregations have been placed into a scholarship fund from which grants-in-aid may be made to students both in the high school and the college according to the discretion of the faculty. 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 12 students receive their final grades in provincial subjects from the Department of Edu¬ cation later in the summer. The grading system of the Department of Education is followed. H (80-100) C (40-49) A (65-79) D (0-39) B (50-64) Inc. Incomplete, no credit The academic year is divided into periods of six weeks each at which times a deficiency slip is made up for each student with an average below 50% in any course. This deficiency slip is sent to the student ' s home and indicates the restrictions on privileges, athletics, and extra-curricular activities, if any, according to the number of deficiencies. 100 credits are required for passing grade 12. These credits must be complete for admittance to the college sophomore class. College freshmen may carry some high school work in addition to their regular courses. Ministerial and teacher-training stu¬ dents must complete all the courses in the high school and junior college which have been prescribed by Synod ' s Board for Higher Education. student employment In order to keep costs at a minimum, all resident students are required to work for two weeks in the dining hall and all students will work at least ten hours 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 on the campus for remuneration, 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 dean before completing arrangements. miscellaneous information The college suspends all activities during the Christmas recess. No facilities will be open to students at this time. 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 deter¬ mined by his class, his scholastic standing, and his respect for the college regulations. Concordia College participates in the testing program of the Board for ' Higher Education of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, as well as the Department of Education of Alberta, and a program of its own under the direction of the dean. expenses for the year General fees (laboratory, library, medical, athletics, school paper, yearbook, lyceum)__ $ 35.00 Educational fees (instructional aids, administration, operation and maintenance) _ 120.00 Board fee (for students taking all meals in the dining hall)_ 210.00 Dormitory fee: resident men_ 70.00 resident women _ 100.00 day students _ 12.00 Rental fees: typewriter for course work_ 10.00 for personal use_ 5.00 organ _ 10.00 piano _ 5.00 Graduation fee: college - 5.00 high school - 3.00 Tuition ($2.50 per credit, $3.00 per credit in commercial courses) about 95.00 No tuition is required of students preparing for the ministry or teaching pro¬ fession in the Missouri Synod.

Personal funds may be deposited with the secretary for safe-keeping. General and rental fees are payable at the time of registration. All other fees may be payable quarterly, in advance. These payments fall due on: (I) the opening day of the school year; (2) November 15th; (3) February 1st; (4) April 15th. If students should be unable to make their quarterly payments on time, a two week period of grace will be given. 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. 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 rental fees after eight weeks. Anyone registering late in fall must pay all fees in full. Course Offerings JUNIOR COLLEGE Religion Religion 101.

Rehwinkel. Upon his graduation from Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, Missouri, in 1910, Dr. Rehwinkel entered the ministry at Pincher Creek, Alberta, and accepted a call to St. Peter ' s Church in Edmonton ur first school-year as assistant teacher. He was elected a regular professor of history and German in 1922 and served in this capacity until May, 1928, when he left to accept the presidency of St. John ' s College in Winfield, Kansas. From its earliest beginnings the history of our school has been intimately connected with the name Rehwinkel. He took an active part in the movement to establish a college of our church in Western Canada. This endeavor began to take a somewhat definite form in 1913, when he led in the exploration of a plan to open a college in Calgary, where a large residence had been offered by a layman. After the war he initiated an investigation into the possibility of organizing a high school class in St. Matthew ' s Christian day school at Stony Plain, which, because of war conditions had been closed. Still another plan was to begin a preparatory school in Edmonton, provided ten students would enroll and pay $250 each. All these plans were not considered feasible. The conviction grew that so large an educational venture required the support of our Synod. The result was a petition to the general convention in Detroit in 1920. Synod acted favorably, but only after convincing arguments had been submitted; and these were based on the research work which had been done in a large measure by Dr. Rehwinkel. In 1921 our school was opened in rented quarters—the administration building at 10875 - 98th Street, and the service building at 9529 - I 10th Avenue. For the acquisition of these buildings we were chiefly indebted to Dr. Rehwinkel. And he rendered invaluable services in laying out the new buildings and improving the grounds at our present location. Equally appreciated were his services in organizing our first course of studies, which had to meet synodical requirements and conform as much as possible fo those of the provincial Department of Education. Dr. Rehwinkel ' s unselfish toil in the founding of our school, his untiring labor, his boundless zeal as a profoundly learned and efficient teacher, the bonds of friendship which he established between himself and those who were privileged to work with him and, in the classroom, to work for him, his consecration to the work of our Concordia, his devotion to the cause of our Savior—these considerations urge us to thank our Heavenly Father for the gifts, the labors, and the accomplishments of this noble pioneer. in 1914. During c (1921 -22) he served —A.H.S. 21 mm ; mn COLLEGE GRADUATES NORMAN THREINEN NORMAN THREINEN (Norm), MacNutt, Sasic.

THE LUTHERAN HOUR ' !Bringing Christ to the Nations 19 Outlets in Four Western Provinces of Canada Sponsored by the Lutheran Laymen’s League Support Your Own Gospel Broadcast with Your Fervent Prayers and Generous Contributions Western Canada Office: 11231 - 66th Street, Edmonton, Alberta YOU ' LL REMEMBER JASPER HISTORICAL if Few sections of the Canadian Rockies rival the Jasper region in historical associations, for through its wilderness travelled the early explorers, the adventurers, the scientists and the fur traders. 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 t heir 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 if The Whistler Mountain Ski Slopes, only 3 Vo miles from Jasper village, now provide a complete roster of facilities to serve skiers, and some extremely interesting runs. The new Chalet, located at the 4,200-foot level of the mountain, contains an attractive 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,COO-foot level of Whistler in a 2,000-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. if 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 the highway at Portal Creek, where a snowmobile can provide transportation back to the basin. INSPIRING BEAUTY IN JASPER ' S MOUNTAINS if High in the Canadian Rockies, rimmed by flower-decked alp- lands and spectacular snowpeaks, is Jasper, the Showplace of Alberta’s Mountains. Here you can motor over new high¬ ways. swim in Canada’s finest pool, fish, golf, camera hunt, play tennis, go hiking or mountain climbing in a setting of vivid natural beauty.

Yet that’s something you probably won’t remark—at least not with the same inflection—a few short years from now. We mention this now, because now is the time to do some intelligent thinking about it. If you heed this advice NOW, there’ll be a smile in your voice when you re-read it later, as you page through this book of wonder¬ ful memories—perhaps with your family—several years from now. You’ll be needing life insurance then. We’d like to point out sev¬ eral important things about it. First, the younger you are when you take out your life insurance, the lower your annual payments will be. So the sooner you start, the less you’ll have to pay each year. Next, there are three basic types of life insurance contracts — term, whole life, endowment—and scores of variations and combinations. They differ in what they can do for you. There are also three types of life insurance companies: 1) a stock company with board of directors elected by personal or proxy vote of stockholders who profit from its operation; 2) a mutual with direc¬ tors elected by personal or proxy vote of policy-holders who partici¬ pate in its earnings; and 3) a fra¬ ternal, like the Aid Association for Lutherans, with board directly elected by insured member-owners who share their organization’s sav¬ ings. Finally, you should realize that with so many companies and so many kinds of insurance contracts, it is difficult to select the particu¬ lar one that is best for you. Our advice—don’t try. Instead of select¬ ing a contract, select a good life insurance counselor. Your Aid As¬ sociation for Lutherans agent is an expert. You can consult him in confidence, as you would your pas¬ tor, lawyer, or doctor. If you don’t already know the A.A.L. represen¬ tative in your area, write immedi¬ ately to our home office for his name. He’ll be glad to call on you, without obligation. “What did you say . . . think of my Wif © ? COMMERCIAL PRINTERS LTD.
