Grand View College Is Topic.
The Synodical Board of the Danish
Ev.-Luth. church, recently held a
meeting in Des Moines, Iowa, where
the main topic of discussion was the
future welfare of Grand View college.
President c. A. Olsen rendered his
resignation at the convention last
year, effective the 1st of June this
year. The board decided to nomi-
nate Prof. Alfred c. Nielsen for presi-
dent. This nomination will be placed
before the convention to be held in
Tyler this summer where it is ex-
pected same will be accepted. In the
event same is accepted. further ar
Knudsen become dean of students,
and as such he and his family will
live at the school.
The financial condition of the
school is not favorable, due to the
small attendance this year-there are
only 3S students.
1t is the aim of the board to make
the college department accredited. In
order to do so the present laboratory
facilities must be considerably i'm
proved; and furthermore they must
have at least so students. Every one
interested in the welfare of the school
should make it his business to help
get the required number of students
enrolled for next year.
