PROF. L. C. RINCKER Prof. Rinckerls Milwaukee days began when, in 1911, a lad of fifteen years, he entered our halls to prepare for a career as churchman. Six years later he went to the Seminary, and after his second year there he served as vicar at Fisherville, Ont. The experiences of the Vicarage in Canada were followed by the adventures of a mission trip to the Isle of Pines. Later on, after finishing his third year of seminary work, he decided to enter the first post- graduate class. The result was an S. T. M. He re- turned to Milwaukee as assistant professor in History and English. In the spring of 1927 he was promoted to a regular profesorship in these branches. PROF. E. HATTSTAEDT This young instructor is quite familiar with the Alma Mater. This is true not only because he has been teaching here for some time, and because he formerly attended this institution, but also because he was born t1899l within a stones throw of the college. He has lived at the home of his father, Prof. O. Hattstaedt, his entire life with the exception of the three years he attended the Seminary and the one year he supplied at Winchester, Texas. In 1927 he was promoted from the position of assistant professor to that of Professor of German and Latin. In the past years he has been doing graduate work at Col- umbia U., and last summer he went on a trip abroad, PROF. V. BARTLING Here is a brilliant young professor who was born in Waterford, not so many miles from Milwaukee, thirty-two years ago. He came to the Badger Con- cordia in 1910. From 1916-1919 he attended the Sem- inary and did supply work at Pittsburgh, Pa., and at Laurium, Mich. In 1919 he entered the ministry, serv- ing at Bismark and Fargo, N. D. In the fall of 1926 he was called to his Alma Mater to be the succes- sor of Dr. Huth as Professor of Hebrew and Latin. As there has been a lack of instructors, he has also been teaching Greek with commendable success, there- by proving his versatility as a scholar. E261

PROF. PAUL F. KOEHNEKE About five years ago, when a sudden influx of students put the college in need of more instructors, the Electoral Board extended a call to Rev. Paul Koehneke to a professorship in German at his Alma Mater. He had graduated from the Seminary in 1910, and in his thirteen years in the ministry had served at Hand Hills, Alberta 0910-159, Dodge Center, Minn. 0915-189, and Rushford, Minn. 0918-239. Already in his stay here as student he had applied himself ardu- ously to the study of GermanY and a particular liking for the classics has enabled him to teach Latin in ad- dition. While a student, his home was in Chicago. where he was born Nov. 24, 1888. PROF. PAUL ZANOW In the person of Prof. Zanow our faculty has a representative of the Pacific Northwest. His fresh and vigorous methods of teaching savour of the breezy Blue Mountains near which he was reared. In 1912 he left his home in Walla Walla, Wash. entered the Portland Concordia, finished the four years' course there, traveled to Milwaukee to com- plete his preparatory work, and graduated here in 1917. For the next six years he attended the Sem- inary and did supply work alternately, his first posi- tion being that of assistant professor at our Gopher State Concordia. He served in the same capacity at Milwaukee at two different times before he was in- ducted into office as permanent Professor of Science and Mathematics. PROF. A. REHWALDT Prof. Rehwaldt has had a very checkered career. He began his pilgrimage through this world at Val- paraiso. Ind., where he was born on Sept. 7, 1896. From there he moved to Alcester, S. D., and then to Cologne, Minn. Finally he decided to enter Con- cordia College, St. Paul. That was in 1911. After completing the course in five years, he attended the Seminary, and during his stay there supplied at Mill- stadt, Ill. Then he was vicar for a year at Kaylor, S. D. After another year at the Seminary he taught public schools at Emblem and Lander, Wye. In the meantime he was graduated from the College of Liberal Arts at the U. of Wyoming. In 1925 a call brought him to Concordia as Professor of Science and Mathematics.

is, us 4U PROF. C. A. HARDT 'In the year 1905 Prof. Hardt first set foot on American soil, coming from the little town of Stee- den, Germany, where he was bcrn twelve years before. Except. for the three years of seminary work at St. Louis, his activity in America has centered about the Cream City. His pre-college days were spent at home in Cedarburg, his six Concordian years at this institution, and the period after graudation 0919 includes two terms as assistant professor on our faculty, a charge in this city tZoar congregationi, and a pastorate in not-distant Reedsburg. His Wis- consin roamings have most probably terminated in his installation, on Nov. 13, 1927, as Professor of Classics. PROF, A. DEDE Prof. Dede is the latest addition to the teaching staiT. If any Lutheran should be proud of his birth- place it is he, since he was born, Aug. 4, 1887, in Perry County, Mo., the birthplace of the Missouri Synod. As a lad he lived near the picturesque Saxon village of Frohna. When his gristle became bone his ambition was to become a minister, so after a six years' course at Concordia, M0,, he went to the Sem- inary. In 1901 he served at Cleveland, Ohio, and after a final year at the Seminary he accepted a call to Cobalt, Ont. From there he was called to Mitchell, Ont; thence to Defiance, Ohio And since Feb. 2, he has been teaching at Concordia. ASSISTANT PROF. E. JENNE The faculty has in Mr. Jenne a youthful scholar of whom it is justly proud. Coming here from Chi- cago in 1917, where he was born June 23, 1903, he became a member of the class of 1923, and gradu- ated with high honors. In 1923 he entered the Sem- inary and attended it for two years. But it seems his nostalgia for old Milwaukee drew him back, for he spent a year here as assistant professor. After he graduated from St. Louis in 1927, he decided to came back to Concordia once more. Let us hope that he has come to stay, for his Alma Mater needs him.
