Progress has also marked the administration of the school. The overburdened Principal has been re- lieved of much of the administrative work by the new Dean, whose coming has also made possible a disposition of the teaching load which no longer will make eastern professors gasp. It needs to be stated gratefully that while these changes were in the making, the Board of Control was backed by the full cooperation of Synod’s officials and the District’s pastors and congregations. The school is ready and xirilling to serve. Present indications point to the largest new enrollment in the history of the institution. To this new enrollment the Board of Control and the Faculty look forward as an earnest of a brighter day. And into the calm joy of that thought there is woven a promise. As God will give grace and strength, this school will not fail to face the stern trust which the students, the parents, and the church impose upon those who undertake to shape a life during those crossroad years that can not be lived again. Concordia is marching, and its faoe is to the future. .
