This book was written for the 75th anniversary celebration of Concordia University, Saint Paul (then Concordia College) in 1968. While it may not be the first history written about the institution, as it was preceded by Fred Wahlers A Short History of Concordia College in 1953, it is certainly the first lengthy history of the school. After an introduction summarizing the beginnings of the school, the book is divided into subject areas based largely on departments, the content of which is organized chronologically.
