Doctor Keinath The memory of our beloved professor, Dr. Herman 0. A. Keinath, still remains with us. His untiring efforts and devoted love to his work and calling cannot be for- gotten by any of those who worked under him. Dr. Keinath served the Lord at Con- cordia for over eight years, having been installed as professor in October, 19443. While at Concordia, Dr. Keinath taught courses in Church History and the Social Sciences. He also spent much time working with the Mission Activities group, of which he served as advisor. Before coming to River Forest, Dr. Keinath was a professor at Concordia Teachers College, Seward, Nebraska. Several of Dr. Keinath's literary contributions are used by the students here at Concordia, the foremost one being My Church, a history of the Lutheran Church. ln the midst of his work for the Kingdom of God, Dr. Keinath was called to his heavenly home on June 13. Even then, he was performing one of his duties to God and his school, attending the Baccalaureate Service of the college held at Grace Lutheran Church on the campus. Thus, in loving memory to our professor, Dr. Keinath, we dedicate this book. We hope it will help to keep alive the memory and spirit of him who with the help of God, may give us inspiration in our work for Him. 4

A Message From Our President My dear Graduates, As a little message for your 1953 Yearbook l have chosen a part of our Savior's High Priestly Prayer as it is preserved for us in John 17: 20-21- Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall be- lieve on Me through their word, That they all may be one, as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me. Here Jesus is praying for His original disciples before going into His last suffering and death, but He also prays for each of us. His desire is that the Class of 1953 may be one-one in your faith in His atonement, one in your sure hope of everlasting life, one in your sincere purpose of spreading His Word and sharing with others the joys of Christian living and unselfish service. In the light of this Cod-given oneness, the shadows of little differences and prejudices and selfish ambitions will fade away, and the Gospel will shine out gloriously in us and through us into all the world. This is your Savior's prayer for you. It is mine, too. I am sure it is yours for your- selves and for each other. ' Sincerely, Arthur Klinck, President l 5
