The date, June 5, 1906, will always remain a memorable date in theiihistory of Suomi College. It was o-n that date that the first graduates of the Suomi Col- lege Theological Seminary were ordained into the holy ministry. The ordina- H t1011 took place at Hancock, lVl1Ch1g2lI1, and there were five graduates who were to constitute the nucleus of the ministry of the Suomi Synod. The graduates were Alfred I-Iaapanen, Matt Luttinen, Salomon Ilmonen, Peter Keranen and John Waisgelin. The Seminary course proper at.tl1at time was two years in length and was later extended to three years. As the years have passed by, other me-n have received the call from the Lord to preach the gospel of salvation. The numbers have never been great and the thin trickle of graduates has hardly been adequate to meet the demands of the church. However, there were those who did come and certainly the words of St. Paul have signified their purpose: How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? tRomans lO:l2.j I I The Seminary for the l947-48 school year consisted- of eight regular students and three special students. The-seniors were Ahti Karjala of Paynesville, Mich., and Olaf Rankinen of Mass, Michigan. The only middler , or second-year student was lIl1 Lepisto of New Castle Pennsvlx ania The first year students included Wilho Elson De Kalb Ill l-leniy Aukee Iionwood Mich Donald Lehti Hancock Mich Tauno W aivinen Wakefield Mich and Albert Mako lin of Calumet Michigan The special students were Reuben Kauppila Han Page forty two Rig .

Several of the students were veterans of Woisld Wlar II, men who had seen the destruction wrought by war and knew that the only hope :tor this world is Jesus Christ and the proclamation of His Gospel. The daily schedule of classwork was quite heavy. The subjects this year included Homiletics, History of Israel, Introduction to Theo-logy, Greek, Old Testament Theology, Liturgics and Art, Finnish, History of Doctrine, Com- parative Religion, The History of the Lutheran Church in America, New Testa- ment Theology, Bible, and Logic. Trial sermons- were also given in the Finnish language during the Fall semester. As each year passes, the bi-lingual problem presents itself more strongly. Besides the regular Finnish lessons, extra time was utilized in learning Finnish by the Linguaphone Method, and also by means of help from private tutors. Certainly each seminarian is trying his utmost in this task, especially those handicapped by the lack of command of the Finnish language. y Besides regular classroom work, the seminarians spoke attvarious youth rallies, and programs for the benefit of the College, as well as conducted full worship services in both languages at various churches. During the Christmas and Easter seasons many were called to conduct worship services at churches in various parts of this area and elsewhere' Throughout the school year, fre- quent trips were made by the seminarians to the Co-pper Country Old Folks' Home and to the Sanitarium, where the Gospel of Christ was proclaimed to the aged and to the afflictedf -43:'-'-tg'-:g.,'-A-,.g:-' : ,.
