Show morealn Open acettee 60 ftoépectiue Women Students: Augsburg Is A Growing College. A new library nearing completion and a new resi' dence for women under way are outward evidences that Augsburg College is rapidly expanding its facilities and is alert to its opportunities to prepare students for their life work. For years, careful preparation and guidance in col’ lege have helped prepare Augsburg men and women of high purpose to render distinguished service in many areas of life. To prepare well educated youth for dy’ namic Christian living and service in a great variety of vocational fields continues to be Augsburg‘s major goal. Education at Augsburg is more than acquiring knowlv edge and vocational training. An essential of all true education, especially in this atomic age, is that it be rooted ﬁrmly in moral and ethical values. Knowledge is important, but how one thinks, feels and acts because of it is more important. This is where the Christian colr lege can point the way to effective living in and after college. What do high school seniors look for in college? "I‘m looking forward to specializing in some ﬁelds, digging in, not just dabbling here and there"; "I want some general education; I just want to know more things"; “I‘m looking forward to making new friends, and, at Augsburg, Christian friends"; “Of course, girls look forward to dorm life“; “I want to understand my self and others better“; “We seniors eagerly anticipate sharing in the social life on the campus, in the many student activities, and the whole academic atmosphere of college life." Some parents as well as girls ask the question, “Is higher education for women a waste of time and money?” Let us consider some aspects of this problem. 0 The courses of the liberal arts college, in addition to their general educational values, seem especially ap propriate for young women looking forward to earning a livelihood, and later to wifehood and motherhood. Broad interests, 21 well’stocked mind, and skill in human relationships in home and industry are exceedingly im' portant for the Christian woman of tomorrow. 0 The mest signiﬁcant characteristic of potential leadr ership as rated by leaders in industry is “ability to work with people — understanding human relationships — a pleasing personality." Through democratic student gov, ernment and group living in dormitories, learning and practising the techniques of leadership in a variety of student activities, and in the interpersonal relationships of a compact campus, rich opportunity is given students to develop this ability and to live creatively. One of Augsburg‘s principles is to make friends with students by giving them understanding. 0 Lynn White in “Educating Our Daughters“ be' lieves strongly that young women should be trained to become effective homemakers. Skills and techniques learned in college carry over into personal life and trans’ fer almost 100% into married life. 92% of women 45 years of age are, or have been, married according to the 1950 census. Augsburg has forged ahead in the ﬁeld of education for family life and has an outstanding dev partment. o The trend toward combining homemaking and emv ployment is increasing. Professional skills women have may enable them to make rich contributions to school, church, and community enterprises. o A college education is almost a form of insurance against adversity. Should it be imperative for the woman to re'enter the world of work, she could more quickly qualify with a college education. 0 A major goal in life is happiness. A trained person has a better chance of being happy in life than an untrained one. There are psychological and character implications of being trained that emerge, such as cone tentment and a sense of personal worth that are highly signiﬁcant to the individual. 0 For the Christian, the stewardship of talents and abilities should be considered. “Where can my life and my abilities be most effectively used?“ Augsburg College can help you discover the answer for your life.

Show moreUnique Educational Opportunities for Women at Augsburg College A student arriving for the ﬁrst time at Augsburg ﬁnds many people to bid her welcome and to help her adjust to college life. The Dean of Women, big sisters, resi- dence counselors. faculty advisers, and others, stand ready to give whatever help may be needed. to ward of threatened attacks of homesickness, and to make her ﬁrst weeks away from home a memorable experience. All of this is a part of Augsburg’s educational pro' gram which includes much more than the hours spent in class rooms, laboratories. and libraries. It takes in all phases of living together. Therefore, every girl is en couraged to participate in the social life of the school and to take part in some of its extra-curricular activities. This not only adds to the pleasure of school life but develops poise and other qualities which facilitate a happy, successful adjustment to community living when college days are past. Since Augsburg is a four year. fully accredited, liberal arts college, its academic standards are high. It has ex' cellently equipped laboratories, practice rooms and home‘ economics department. Its new library has an excellent collection of books, periodicals and audiovisual materials, as well as comfortable reading rooms. Pine equipment and buildings, important as they are, remain secondary in importance to the faculty. These devoted men and women regard teaching not as a mere job but as a calling. Their aim is to help each individual to develop her capacities to the fullest; to help her to become a wellrbalanced, truly educated person. Each student is assisted to make a wise selection of basic subjects such as religion, philosophy, English, for, eign language, history, psychology, social and natural sciences, mathematics, music, and physical education. Later she selects her ﬁeld of specialization. She may then decide to become a nurse, medical technician, secretary, social worker, teacher, home economist, parish worker, or missionary, to name but a partial list. But education at Augsburg includes more than social, physiczl, and mental development. There is also worship daily in chapel and on Sunday in the church of one‘s choice. At Augsburg, religion is still more than chapel service or courses in religion; it is the heart of the entire program. Augsburg is God'centercd. Its ﬁrm belief in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man determines the attitude of students and faculty toward each other, stresses worthy use of talents, brings into proper focus facts learned in class room and laboratory, and encourages the search for truth. Augsburg does not say, as some do, “The truth shall make you free." It realizes that these words must be left in their proper context, for Jesus said, “If ye abide in my word, ye are truly my disciples, and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.“ (John 8:31,32.) This religious emphasis does not mean that the Augs- burg student is encouraged to live in an ivory tower. The location of the college in a large city means that there are many religious, educational, and cultural ad, vantages available—churches, symphony orchestra, art museums, and the University of Minnesota, for example. Also the city offers many opportunities to be of service to the community through work with social agencies, Sunday schools, choirs, youth groups, as well as through part'time employment. Thus the Augsburg student enjoys great educational opportunities both on the campus and beyond its limits. She learns the joy of playing, working, studying, and worshiping with others. She learns that everything she has, every talent she possesses, is the gift of God to be used for His glory and for the good of others. She learns to view facts in their proper perspective. She is saved from selfvcenteredness and intellectual arrogance by her realization of the limitations of human knowledge. As Paul expressed it " . . . whatever a man may know, he still has a lot to learn, but if he loves God, he is opening his whole life to the Spirit of God.“ (I Cor. 8:2,3.)" As the years go by, the former Augsburg student becomes ever more and more grateful for the unique, educational opportunities she enjoyed at Augsburg. Marion W.

Keenly perceptiVe of beauty. quality. truth, and spirit- uality. her sensitive soul has been a window through which many a student glimpsed with clarity for the ﬁrst time. She has been considered a hard. demanding teacher, and consequently remembered and cherished. Her summers are usually spent with her sister in New York where she has taken advantage of Columbia’s sum- mer sessions studying literature. writing or philosophy. This summer she will join her sister in Bryn Mawr. near Philadelphia. Miss Pederson was graduated from Augsburg in 1932. and began teaching at her Alma Mater shortly thereafter. She earned a Master’s degree from the University of Minnesota, writing her thesis on Emily Dickinson. This past year she has been president of the Augsburg College Women’s Club. OLETTA WALD According to her own statement. Oletta Wald has two aims in her Work. “First. to enCourage people to become students of the Bible themselves. so as to experience its power in their own lives: secondly. to help them know how to teach God's great truths so that these truths will become a power in the lives of others.” Many hundreds of Lutheran Sunday School teachers from Coast to coast will readily testify to the efﬁcacy of these aims. Oletta Wald teaches parish education and Bible at the Lutheran Bible Institute in Minneapolis. Minnesota. She is fre- quently sent to other Bible institutes on either coast for a term of teaching. and she is a coveted speaker or adviser for the numerous institutes on religious education held throughout the country. Miss Wald was graduated from Augsburg in 1031. studied art at Minneapolis School of Art. and received her Master’s degree in religious education from Biblical Seminary in New York in 1951. She is well known {or her adorable silhouettes of chil- dren which are used in several of her own publications. and on much more Sunday School literature. She is a member of St. Luke's Lutheran Church, and resides at 5641 Stevens Ave. So. The value of a liberal arts program is increased by careful planning. Augsburg provides counseling services to all students planning to enter college in the future. We suggest, however, that inquiries should be made well in ad- vance.

Show moreOnce Upon a Time . . m. mu 1... Of course, being reasonably human and slightly sentimental, I have often thought of the. to me wonderful “once upon a time” at Augsburg and of my fellow graduates of 1898. Within the last two or three years, however, tln- memory of it all became more real and pleasant, perhaps somewhat poignant too, because two of my class-mates. and I believe some sisters and aunts and cousins, have looked me up (they also “looked me over." as it were, but very politely, so that my feelings should not be wounded!) and instinctively, in thoughts and in words gamle dnge and gamle Augsburg were made to live again. One of the class-mates I always called “0ss”, though he always protested for some reason, and the other’s name was “Goggen”. That is to say, he was not baptized that way, but his little brother and his sisters called him that instead of George.——-and being incorrigible I followed suit. When I saw them here after the lapse of I don‘t know how many years, I addressed the one solemnly as Reverend So-and-So and the other as Mr. President: at any rate I should have! The class of '98 was the largest one that had been graduated from the college or Greek course up to that year, and I think all the eighteen of us felt rather proud of the fact. We played baseball .in vacant lots near a rail— road, we never wore dress suits, we paid $1.50 a week for very good board in the basement of the old building, and we had a “yell” (which I think was about the only thing that we copied from other schools or colleges). For tht' purpose of making the record authentic, I shall put it down here (I dare not yell it out here in my Berliner—Wohnung—though I think I could—for the neighbors might not appreciate the melody): “Rah, rah, rah! Ain't we great? Augsburg Seminary. Ninety-eight! !" I remember that just before our commencement (at which Laurhammer made a wonderful address pan mm]: and Gilbert a no less eloquent and won- derful one in English) we had a‘ grand class supper on Washington Avenue, not far from “'Seven Corners", which consisted of a very good oyster soup and small crackers. all of which cost about ﬁfteen cents per capita.

Show moreValues and Education The life of each generation is very largely molded by its conception of what is of value. The gloriﬁcation of power leads to the building of great notional units—Bubylons and Homes and Britains. The love of beauty becomes the sued of a civilization such as existed in ancient Hellas, or in seventeenth century Holland. Out of the faith and spiritual vision of the Church arise the Cathedral glories of Medieval Europe. What is true in the great unitics of man- kind holds equally well in the lesser social groups: in state and city, in every village or rural community. Stuart Chase tells of a town in Mexico where the people reg- ularly play one day out of every three. Across the border in the United States there are communities where there is not time even to rest one day in seven; life is a constant rush and struggle for material possessions. In every sphere of life, and in all lands, there are corresponding differences. Human life is molded according to men’s conception of what is really of value. Education is the guidance of growing personalities in the choice of values that are real. America has the greatest educational system ever devised and carried out on earth. Perhaps We should say “most extensive and most expensive," rather than "greatest." For the greatness of an educational enterprise cannot be measured in terms of numbers or money. It is a spiritual entity, and can be apprehended only in terms of spiritual value. The Augsburg Alumni Association extends to Dr. Bernhard Chris- tensen, Augsburg's new president, a hand of congratulation. We know he faces a mountainous task. Yet we are happy that, as an alumnus with much advanced training and a wealth of ability, he will strive to be a real mountain climber. One who would lead us all to the heights where light prevails. We know that he is vitally interested in alumni of Augsburg. Not only because of the support they can afford their Alma Mater. But more because of what their lives can mean. And because he looks upon each as a personal friend. .So we are happy to extend Dr. Christensen a hand of congratula- tion. And not only of congratulation. We would have it be a hand of good-will and cooperation too. ‘3 , ‘ Augsburg Alumni Balm

Show moreFor almost seventy years Augsburg has been trying to carry on an educa« tional enterprise of such a spiritual nature. She has sought to direct the attention of her students to the enduring realities, to win their devotion to the Truth which lies at the heart of existence. She has tried to build souls~ from within. She has presented to her sons and daughters the great ideal of education as the personal appropriation of freedom, of freedom as a form of life in relation to others and to the Truth itself. She has believed in eternal values. Measured by some of the standards of theage in which we live, Augsburz’s achievements have not been outstanding. There is little to regret in this fact: for many of those standards are absolutely false. Some lie at the root of the insane strife which characterizes much of human life on earth today. Measured by the standards of truth and righteousness and creativa service, Augsburg dares not boast of her success either. She is conscious of having failed also in these—far too often. Whatever there has been of success has been the work of the Spirit of God. We give Him our grateful praise. Yet the educational ideals of Augsburg’s past—radical as they are, if rightly understood—set the course also for our future. Toward their more complete achievement we earnestly invite the cooperation and counsel of every almnus. Augsburg desires to be Christian in all her work. Secular systems are crack- ing all around us. Humanity needs a renewal on spiritual foundations. Are we brave enough to play our part that those foundations may be laid? —Bmmum CHRISTENSEN. EIGHT POINTS OF ACTION For The Augsburg Alumni Association, 1938-1939 1. Provide furnishings for as many rooms as possible in Memorial Hall. Make a “valiant effort? to enlist every graduated class in furnishing at least one unit. (Each unit will cost $85.) 2. Encourage high school graduates of high scholastic standing and strong character to attend Augsburg. 3. Capitalize on Twin City employment opportunities for students and graduates. Strengthen activity of Employment Bureau. 4. Gain more public recognition for Augsburg, its studenta and ' graduates. Maintain the Augsburg Publicity Department. 5. Establish a newa contact between alumni, and between alumni and Augsburg. Publish a quarterly Alumni Bulletin, and as soon as possible, an Alumni Directory. 6. Send to alumni, high schools and other organizations a List of Speakers Available for commencement and other occasions. '7. Pop up. and re-organiae where necessary, district units of alumni. Encourage at least one meeting each your of these dia- trict units. And arrange for gathering: of alumni attending p summer School at the University of Minnesota. 8. Make contacts in state high schools in order that more doors may ' he opened for our teaching alumni. Aid Teacher-1' Phcmt Bureau whenever possible. an. " -m~ -.

Show moreTogether On the Road . . As the Alumni Association enters its second year of increased activity under the leadership of a salaried executiw. secretary, we are happy to observe already some fruits of this work. The Eight Point Program of activity carried on last year by Mr. Abner Batalden ('35). executive secretary, and the energetic ofﬁcers of the As- sociation helped to produce a 32% increase in student enrolment, a deﬁnite increase in press publicity for Augsburg, three newsy and attrac- tive Quarterly Bulletins mailed to all available alumni, six enthusiastic district meetings of alumni, and an encouraging (though partial!) participation of alumni in the Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall building project. The general tone of the Alumni Association has improved a great deal as a result of the new set-up. This was evident last June at the annual banquet when a large number of alumni met in the old dining hall to welcome the new graduates into the Association. One of the highlights of the program was Rev. I. Hovland’s ('09, '12) fascinating stories of how some of the contribu- tions to the new dormitory came through. Another interesting item was the warm and friendly greeting brought by an uncle of one of the '38 graduates, Dr. Oliver Lee (’01), Director of the Dearborn Observatory, Northwestern University. He credited Augsburg with giving his “inquiring mind" its ﬁrst serious intellectual interests. Further alumni enthusiasm at the June meeting was evident in the passage of a motion to meet the added printing expenses of the program of the As- sociation by increasing annual dues to 82.00 and urging all Life Members to make an annual voluntary gift. An early payment of these dues will in- crease the eﬁectiveness of the year's work. Ofﬁcers elected at the June meeting were: President, Kristofer Hagen (’29, '34); Vice-president, Margaret Sateren (’37); Treasurer, Conrad Jergenson ('37); Secretary, Grace Jensen (’33). Mr. Jergenson resigned as treasurer because he is spending the year in New York. His vacancy has been ﬁlled by Rev. M. C. Dixen (’18). The executive committee has also selected an advisory council of three members who are giving invaluable assistance in planning future work. They are: Dr. Bernhard Christensen ('22), Prof. S. 0. Severson (’00), and John S. Blegen ('08). The new Eight Point Program for 1938-39 is outlined elsewhere in this issue of the Bulletin. As you will see, several new points are combined with those carried over from last year. The most important of these new goals is to mobilize our entire alumni force in getting each class to furnish one or more of the 165 furniture units at $85 each for the Sverdrup—Oftedal Memorial Hall. 105 of these units will equip the students' rooms and the new Alumni Guest Room with attractive, sturdy furniture and leave 60 units to furnish 5 Augsburg Alumni Bulletin
