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.

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

ASSISTANT PROF. R. P. SIEVING Mr. sieving was born on June 5, 1904, at Reynolds, Ind. He received the first three years of his school- ing at St. Louis, and iinished eighth grade at the parochial school of New Minden, 111. At the age of fourteen he went to Concordia College at Concordia, Mo., for his pre-theological training. He then attended the Seminary for one year 0925-269. The last two years have found him doing supply work at this in- stitution, serving in the capacity of assistant professor in the branches of History and English. This fall the class of ,28 hopes to meet him at the Seminary, whither he expects to return to complete his theo- logical studies. ASSISTANT PROF. W. BRUENING Mr. Bruening came into this world at Jackson, Mo., on Dec. 1, 1905. His first instructions were re- ceived in the parochial school of the home town. In 1919 he entered Concordia College at Concordia, Mo., to win his way for a theological course at the Semin- ary. He matriculated at this latter institution in 1924. After two years of seminary work he decided to try a hand at supplying, so he came to this Concordia to instruct in the departments of Latin and Mathe- matics. He is planning to return to the Seminary this fall to complete his course in thelogy, in order to enter the ministry in a year or so. PROF. M. GRAEBNER This highly gifted instructor began his journey through life at Milwaukee in 1879. He desired to enter the ministry, so he went to Ft. Wayne. Finish- ing his course there, he attended the Seminary and graduated in 1901. His first call took him to the plains of the West, to do mission work. His home at the time was at Cushing, Oklahoma. Later he con- ducted a charge at Oklahoma City. In 1910 the Con- cordia at Winfield, Kan., needed another instructor, and thus Rev. Graebner first became Prof. Graebner. He taught at Winfield until he was called to Mil- waukee in 1922. Last summer he left this institution to become president of our sister college in St. Paul, Minn.
