HAMM A DIVINITY SCHOOL For one hundred and three years, Ilannna Divinity School of Wit- tenberg College has served the United Lutheran Church by sending hundreds of capable and inspired ministers forth to teach the gospel. Named in honor of the Reverend N. W. Ilamma, a generous donor for the work of the seminary, the building houses classrooms, a recreation room, the dean’s office, and a chapel. Situated on the crest of our rolling campus, Mamma Mall represents the focal point of religion at the college. Companion-piece to Mamma is Keller Mall, named in honor of Ezra Keller, first president of Wittenberg College. Seminary students’ living quarters, a lounge, and a library of religious texts are contained in the three-story structure. Page Seventeen

Six full-time instructors and a teaching-fellow offer courses com- mitted to the faith and thought of the Lutheran Church at Mamma. With an extensive background in the work of the ministry, the faculty directs courses covering a period of three years and leading to the Bachelor of Divinity degree. Dr. Elmer Flack, D.D., has been the Dean of Mamma for many years and associated with the seminary since 1923. Present members of the faculty are Dr. W. D. Allbeck, Dr. T. A. Kan- tonen, Dr. A. J. Traver, Dr. G. E. Mendenhall, Dr. Otto Bostrom. and teaching-fellow, Rev. Gene Lund. Dr. L. M. Larimer is the Dean Emeritus. The student body consists of ten seniors, nine middlcrs, nineteen juniors, and eight unclassified students. In addition there are several graduate-student pastors enrolled in seminar courses leading to the de- gree of Master of Sacred Theology. The Mamma Student Association is the governing body for the men and is directed entirely by the students. It is responsible for directing the schedule of preachers and liturgists for the daily chapel services and for arranging special services and social events throughout the year. Believing in practical training along with classroom study, the students serve as supply pastors in the five-state area, assist local pastors, or work for the local Inner Mission, in the T. B. Sanatorium, nursing homes, or settlement house. In addition, the seminarians take an active part in aiding the student religious groups of the college. Page Eighteen
