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.

The Student Board of Directors C. Zimmerman .......... President 0. Keiper .......... Rec. Secretary J. H. Baumgaertner. .Vz'ce-President M. Eggers .......... Cor. Secretary T. Fruendt ............. Treasurer E. Jehn ................. Primaner E. Krause ............ Secundaner Six years ago a siX-foot Primaner arose in a Coetus meeting- called a tmass meeting in those days-aand declared, Demosthenes-like: Gentle- men, theoretically our student body has a Constitution, practically it has none. Thereupon the Faculty took the matter up for discussion, and soon the Constitution was drafted. Today this same document furnishes the regu- lations for student government, though it has had to undergo some altering and lengthening to f1t changing conditions of campus life. Its chief provision is for a Student Board of Directors, which meets on the first Tesday of every month. The miunutes of these meetings and the proposals made in them are read at the next Coetus meeting, called on the following Friday. The students are asked to consider the suggestions of the Broad though they may also take action on things of lesser importance which the Board has not discussed. Further provisions are made for an Athletic Board tsee picture on page 640 and an Entertainment Committee, besides numerous other othces.
