Recollection Dear fellow students, The publication of this book marks the end of another school year. During this year some have begun, while others have completed preparation for work in the Kingdom of God. During the past years, Concordia has progressed rapidly. This year, as well as those of the past, has been one of many improvements. The enrollment at Concordia has reached an all-time high. Six hundred thirty-eight students were enrolled. We have witnessed the dedication of a new dormitory for women, and the remodeling of the old dining hall into a completely modern cafeteria. Plans are being made to improve the present dormitories for men, and to build an additional classroom building. Although the campus has made some physical changes, the real purpose of the institution has not changed. Each year another group of graduates leaves Concordia and enters the Church to serve as teachers in Synodls system of 1286 Lutheran elementary schools. We pray for God's blessing toward this important objective. The 1954- Pillars attempts to present the annals of the past year at Concordia Teachers College. ln fulfilling this task, it has endeavored to measure up to the standards of its predecessors, and to the achievements which have made the yearbook an indispensable part of college life. - The Editor 6

President's Message Doctor Arthur Klinck The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Love of God and the communion of the Holy Ghost be with you, all! My dear Graduates.: The words of the Apostolic Benediction are so familiar to all of us that we are likely to miss their true meaning unless we are very careful. ln the course of my ministry to your class and to the other students of Concordia over a period of years, I have used them frequently. May I use them once more, as a parting thought for you - and for myself? The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ - the matchless, undeserved kindness of our Savior which caused Him to give up all, even life itself, to redeem us - may this Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ he with us alll The Love of God - the Love which reached out to fallen man to save him, and spared not His Own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, the Love which richly and daily forgives all of our sins for Jesus' sake, the Love which feeds and clothes and protects us - may this Love of God be with us alll The Communion of the Holy Ghost - that Communion with God's Holy Spirit Who brought us to faith and keeps us in faith through His Holy Word, that Communion which gives us both the de- sire and the strength to do His will in our personal lives and in our daily work in His kingdom - may this Communion of the Holy Ghost be with us all! Accompanied by this blessing of our Triune God, we shall all he one in Christ. We shall he part- ed yet never strangers, following different paths of service now, yet all meeting at last in His Heavenly Home! Yours -in Christ, 'fat QC President 5
