142200 The 1986 Pillars To Dr. Carl Waldschmidt Dr. Carl L. Waldschmidt came to Concordia College in 1946 as an educator. He received his B. S. in education from here, and his masters in music from the University of Michigan. He acquired his doctorate at Northwestern University. This is Dr. WaIdschmidt's 40th year at Concordia, but he says, It doesn't seem like that long. When he came to Concordia he taught music classes, assisted with the band and coached the varsity baseball team. Two years later, he directed his first Festival Chorus Messiah. In 1955 he became chairman of the music department. From 1961 to 1974 he was Academic Dean, although he really likes both teaching and administrative work. After 13 years he returned to his first love-teaching, and directing on a full time basis. When asked what he likes best about Concordia he replied, I like the collegiality among the faculty and the rewarding type of highly motivated students who are talented as well as cooperat- ive. These have all been part of the joys of conducting and teaching. Dr. Waldschmidt also believed that Concordia has a special function as a Christian College with a special orientation toward church work and the perpetuating of Christian living. Dr. Waldschmidt will be on sabbatical next fall and winter, and although he has enjoyed directing Festival Chorus, he says, I've been directing for a long time, it is someone else's turn now. In this way he will be able to devote all of his time to teaching. One of his great thrills was conducting the chorus at Orchestra Hall in a performance of Bach's St. Matthew's Passion with members of the Chicago Symphony. The concert was part of the college's centennial celebration. Away from the classroom Dr. Waldschmidt is married with four children, two boys and two girls. They are all grown now and their homes spread from California to Michigan. We wish Dr. Waldschmidt continued success here at Concordia. We Proudly Dedicate
