| Abstract | Preface: This history was written to commemorate the first century of Concordia Teachers College in the service of Christian education in the Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod. It is the first documented history of Concordia Teachers College. The research was done in connection with a dissertation presented to the faculty of the School of Education of the University of Southern California in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the Doctor's degree in Education. Writing a survey history covering 100 years presents numerous problems of inclusion and exclusion. No doubt some readers will find areas to which more time and space could have been given. There were individuals whose contributions to the college were significant, but for whom little space, if any, could be devoted due to the limitations of time and space. It was not possible to give adequate attention to the development of non-teaching services and personnel who also have made many contributions to Concordia's growth. The author is well aware of the fact that he has not exhausted all the sources. Possibly in the future certain phases of Concordia's history can be expanded in other studies. In a century, Concordia Teachers College has grown in the service of one cause--training teachers for the church--from very humble beginnings to a school that today graduates more elementary teachers than any other institution of higher learning in Illinois. |
