It is a far cry from the Kuempel residence on Morris Street and the basement of old Trinity church on Graham and Williams - the first dormitory and ad- ministration building of Concordia - to the present building and seven acre aampus on Holman Street, This is a wholesome thought to ponder while the pro- cession of Synod’s educational institutions passes by, with Portland’s entry bringing up the rear. It is the last in line and justly so; its building can not lay claim to a more favored place. But it is keeping step with the procession, and its head is high. Only those who are intimately associated with the school know the full story of the struggle which it had to fight for its existence. For some reason which we do not know now but which will be revealed when the Lord’s whole pattern is finished, Concordia’s history may be epitomized in the words of Nehemiah, The builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded, This struggle against untoward circumstances is of the very warp and woof of Concor- dia’s life. The school stands like an oak on the high slopes of Mount Hood; it has defied the blasts and sent its roots far down into the soil. Progress generally came slowly and the hard way. This school was not the beneficiary of the full- handed liberality of the middle twenties when new buildings were erected at nearly all of Synod’s in- stitutions, Yet — let the alumnus of twenty-five years ago stroll through the building and tell his story. The old furnaces which devoured the fuel and loft the building cold are gone, and a modern oil burner heats every nook and cranny during the most severe east wind; the old, crowded library, which also had to relinquish spaco for the Principal ' s office, on the south side has boen transferred to a larger room on the north si do while both the Prin- cipal and the Dean enjoy the luxury of an office on the first floor; the third floor, once the gymnasium and later the dormitory (through whose ceiling snow drifted upon the beds), has been ceiled and painted and otherwise modernized! the old kitchen, the dospair of several faithful stewards, has boen transformed into a workshop that would do credit to a first-class hotel.
