GENERAL INFORMATION Concordia College was founded in 1921 by the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod at the urgent request of members of the congregations of Western Canada. 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
