Growth cannot proceed effectively without a leader. For the past eight years Concordia had as her president the Rev. Paul A. Zimmerman. President Zimmerman was responsible for the growth at Concordia in many different areas. icy along with others, was instrumental in organizing and putting into effect the HUB program - Help Us Build - at Concordia. President Zimmerman left Concordia-Seward last year, however, to answer the Lord’s call to serve as president of the newest ape — Concordia to be located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Here President Zimmerman is busily engaged in the enormous task of building a new college, staffing the faculty, and processing applications of prospective students. We pray that God will bless President Zimmerman, his work, and the new Concordia. As a small token of our deep-felt gratitude for his efforts in all of the Lord’s work, and especially for his work among us, we, the students of Concordia-Seward, dedicate to you, Rev. Paul A. Zimmerman, the Tower of 1962.

— Growth--an eternal, lifegiving process. Con- cordia, too, has observed the phenomenon of growth taking place on her campus. As in every other realm of life and growth, the beginning, made in 1894, was small and modest. But with the help of countless per- sons and the rich, unending blessings of our great Provider, Concordia has grown and expanded not only in the number of build- ings, but also in the number of students and faculty members, in her academic program and extracurricular activities, and in many other areas Concordia’s growth, however cannot end here, but must continue through- out her life to meet the needs of an ever- growing and complex world. — 5S ET ne Ee SN TT ores
