Grumpy Cheers Up

ELCA Bishop Mark Hanson: "Give me ten men, give me stout-hearted men.
Loved, loved, loved Party in the MLC.
Seriously, Grumpy, we cannot keep our own colleges open."



grumpy has left a new comment on your post "Martin Luther College":

I would agree in the common sense of combining those schools, and yes, WISCONSIN would be the likely location given that it is the WISCONSIN Lutheran Synod.

It might be a benefit to enrollment as well as for the quality of education to have a single school that has colleges of education, arts and science, divinity, maybe business and health sciences also. Those planning secondary teaching careers could actually get a strong major in their chosen field of concentration. Those in divinity school might be able to pick up a few basic accounting and business classes (some pastors are woefully ignorant of anything dealing with simple finances and bookkeeping).

However, when common sense comes up against tradition and nostalgia in the WELS, 9 times out of 10 common sense loses.

Just saying....
