College Grows At Rapid Pace Immanuel Lutheran Here For 37 Years Immanuel Lutheran college had a very modest beginning in the year ;»1903, when it was first located at g Concord, about 70 miles south of I Greensboro. It was then housed ■ in the rooms of the parochial school a of Grace Colored Lutheran church Sand remained there for three years In the autumn of 1905 the institution was removed to Greens- Iboro. For two years it occupied I temporary quarters on East Mar- I ket street. Meanwhile the present I site was purchased and the first I building was erected. Additions in 11927 and extensive repairs and I remodelling in 1932 have given the I college its present plant. Immanuel Lutheran " college " is I one of " the " smaller " institutions I which draws its student body from la wide area. During the past years| I at least 50 per cent of the students have come from 10 or more states outside " of " North " Carolina " from I Illinois," Michigan," Indiana," Ohio and New York to Alabama and Louisiana. j The institution is maintained and controlled by the Lutheran Synodical conference with headquarters in St. Louis, Mo. This church body, consisting of four Lutheran synods, maintains at pi-esent a group of 49 elementary and secondary schools for negroes in various parts of the south. Liberal support given to the institution has always enabled it to operate at very low cost to students and still maintain a high grade of- educational opportunity I andjl facilities. All funds at the di ^kal of the institution come eiuiel from the students or from the Lutli.ran church .body in the United States. Work In Four Fields. The work of Immanuel Lutheran! college is carried on in four fields." The junior college offers standard] college and teacher-training coursi preparatory for senior college teaching or professional studies. The [academic department offers a standard high school course. The theological seminary, with a standard theological curriculum, prepares young men for services in the Lutheran ministry. From the very first day of its beginning Immanuel Lutheran college has emphasized religious instruction as the basis of all work carried on in its walls. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, these words have been the guilding star of its courses and teachers during the 37 years of its existence. With the word of God as its chief tool and by the wholesome environment provided by the college in its program, objectives, physical plant, and community facilities the college has tried to develoo stalwart Christian characters, young men and women who did not only know something, bui were something, and could exercisfe a wholesome Christian influence upon those with whom they came in contact. The modernization program instituted a few years ago has put the institution on a high level as [facilities. New buildings, remodeling, new library, laboratory, and classroom furniture, all acquired within the past decade, enable work to be carried on with proper efficiency.
