All Articles For From Our School Committee

Our Seminary is under the direct supervision of the Synod and its officially appointed Theological School Committee, which carries out the work in the interim between the annual meetings of Synod. The Theological School Committee is an out-growth of the former Curatorium, which supervised the school in the early days of our existence, before we were organized as a full-fledged. denomination with Classes and Synod.

Our Theological School held its Opening Exercises Sept. 5 with seven young aspirants to the ministry, two professors, and three delegates from the School Committee present. 

It has been five months since our last report, and we are eager to tell you about the progress that has been made. Let us begin with the reports received at the regular meetings of the Theological School Committee, which supervises all of the activities of the school. Sub-committees of two are appointed to make monthly visits to the school and to report on their visits at the next meeting. From these reports we will glean some information which you are waiting to hear because you are vitally interested in the progress of our future ministers. 

It has been quite some time since you have heard from our Theological School and of the progress of our students.

But more about that later. First we would like to take you with us to be an unseen guest at a typical day in school.
