Serious epidemics might spread rapidly if proper precautions were not taken. So among other buildings at our Concordia a small hospital is also to be found. It is a brick building with four rooms, with a normal capacity of eleven patients, but capable of providing space for fifteen in case of emergency. For two years our devoted nurse, Miss Hengstbach, has been in attendance here during the entire school year. At her regular office hours man}- students come to her with minor ailments, colds, sores, and the like, A lu ' re a stitcii in time often saves nine. If an ' bod ' is forced to remain at the hospital for a longer or a shorter period, he is gi en efficient and tender care. But for an institution of our size the building is too small, and we look forward to the time when the new refectory will be completed, which is to have on the second floor, entirely separate from the rest of the building, hospital facilities for about 25 patients. Work has already been started on this building and we hope to see it com- pleted by fall. A college ph sician is also maintained, who can be called for consultation at any time and who performs minor operations at the hospital, while serious cases are trans- ferred to the city hospital.

Wacker I ice-President L. Wuerffel Treasurer A. Graf Librarian The ori iinal Junto Club was organized in Philailelphia by the renowned Ben- jamin Franklin, and the purpose of this society was to encourage mutual improvements along scientific, social, literary, and philosophical lines. Although our society is not related to this club outwardly, and does not expect to achieve the same recognition in the literary world, we do use the same name because we stand for the same principles. Our first meetings were attended by many enthusiastic members but when the society encountered discouraging circumstances the weak in spirit soon deserted our ranks. At present we have a fair attendance. Every remaining member is bent upon forging ahead. These few are proud of the club, not that they have accomplished great results, but because they have nursed and cared their own society through trials and hardships, quenching their literary thirst at each meeting with precious drops of wis- dom from the fountain of knowledge. The future of the society looms promising for the members of the Junto Club reali .e that difficulties are only opportunities in disguise. [73]

Czamanske lice-President Mr. Eufrene Wengert Secretary-Treasurer Prof. P. Koehneke Rev. R. H. Rubel On June 27, 1924 a number of enthusiastic and energetic Alumni of southern Wisconsin met with the firm determination to organize a permanent national Alumni Association of Concordia College. .Milwaukee, Wis. The preliminary steps were taken at once by adopting a brief tentative constitution, electing an executive board, and instructing its temporary officers to get in touch with every alumnus. The e.xecutives immediateh set to work and staged a membership campaign. In a short time res- ponses from far and near arrived. The man - purposes of an Alumni Association can be readily seen. Lack of space, ho vever, permits us to mention onl a few. It is an organization composed of men whose hearts beat warm for their Alma Mater and who therefore in thankfulness and love are willing to serve her. This body can assist its college in many respects, it can help to improve and modernize the facilities of the institution and foster loyalt . God has blessed our dear Concordia with a faculty that is inspired with a holy de- sire to work conscientiously and faithfully. This fact alone prompts Concordia ' s graduates to love and to willingly ser e their Alma Mater. With this thought in mind the Alumni Association of Concordia .Milwaukee asks all alumni most cordiall to affiliate themselves with it that your Alma Mater may grow and prosper in ears to come. [75]
