The author has achieved the difficult feat of presenting an interpretive account of the development of an institution Without glossing over its faults and misiudgments. while at the same time recording the solid achievements of its found- ers. Eugene Fevold's The History of the Lutheran Fro. Church prowdes a remarkably accurate and com- prehensive study of the church and its leaders.

Show moreBENIENNIIII 8 SYMPOSIII One of the major undertakings of Augsburg's first Centennial has been a series of symposia focused upon man's problems and his future in the 70's. Those given the task of planning this series of discussions knew that complete agreement on the important issues of the next decade could never be completely resolved. However. few can argue that their choice did not strike very close to the heart of the crises that confront us today. With such topics as the following: The Challenge of the City, its problems and its potentials: World Starvation. a question of food and population; Man and His Values in a Three Power World. the world political structure; Man '5 Search For Quality Environment, the dilemma of ecology; and the fifth and last symposium, Man and Education in a Revolutionary Age, the funct/on and value of education in the life of the whole man. We are all aware that one or two days devoted to such oven/vhelming problems as these Will not find any SOIUIIOF‘IS, Instead these symp05ia are held With the hope that those who hear our message, Will become in some way more aware and sensitive to the problems of our day It is the responSibility of each and every liberal arts college to examine its world and make that world known to all who will listen. The task of the contemporary educated man IS not simply that he remember something or that he observe the state of the world in some dispaSSionate and objective way, but that he participate in contemporary life in a thoughtful and responsrble way In the five Centennial SympOSla, the intention has been to placard these concerns at least in emblematic fashion

Show moreRevolution has been a continuous "happening" at Augsburg. Few of the founding fathers would recognize today's Augsburg. They would be confronted With new buildings located in a different City and state, a change in the name and the absence of the theological seminary. Yet those men could not fail to see the heritage of educational philosophy that has remained at the heart of Augsburg Commitment to this philosophy has been a trait common to all the men who guided Augsburg. This philosophy has allowed re-interpretation so that continuity and change eXist Slde by side. Space does not permit a full reVIew of the accomplishments of each president. but it demands a summary of their contributions to the growth of the college. August Weenaas—changed the location The perseverance of Weenaas kept Augsburg in existence when more practical men might have given up the effort as hopeless. Weenaas was not only the president, chief faculty member and chief business officer in the first years—he was the president and only faculty member and only business officer. He is the first in a line of men whose academic training and personal integrity qualified them for leadership at Augsburg. The name Augsburg was endorsed by Weenaas, He believed that what it lacked in Norwegian character was made up for in its clear identification with the Augsburg Confessmn Augsburg was founded in response to a need: ministers to serve the growing number of Norwegian congregations in the Midwest. The training of men for serwce in the ministry was Augsburg's first objective. To resolve difficulties that had arisen in the academy Situation. Weenaas moved his students to Minneapolis for the 1872 academic year. The proximity and cooperative attitude of the University of Minnesota were factors in the move, as was the enc0uragement and financial contributions of Minneapolis ClVIC leaders. Elements that characterize Augsburg to this day were present during those first years in Minneapolis. The school deSired to be a center of Norwegian culture and preserve it while contributing to the growth of its adopted country. Weenaas was too busy to be much concerned With ClVlC involvement, but Sven Oftedal. one of the early faculty members, set the pattern in this area. Weenaas spent his time working for three goals: faculty. curriculum and phy5ica| expansion and improvement. Georg Sverdrup—changed the course Sverdrup's teaching and consrderable writings bear evidence of a profound scholar. He felt that: "Augsburg's purpose is to deve/op and foster a free, man/y and independent persona/11y. We want men wnose spirit and heart are awakened and freed by me know/edge of we rrurh. \OL 32.

A strong and active man, he and Sverdrup had -‘ ' WW leadership and durability at times when one man might - have been overcome. After Sverdrup's death in 1907, he became president until his death in 1911. Oftadal was Augsburg's ﬁrst civic leader. He was elected .to the ' Minneapolis School Board before completing the requirements for American citizenship. He also helped establish the Minneapolis Public Library system. With Sverdrup. he encouraged students to volunteer their services to congregations in the city. It was during this time that the classical collegiate program was expanded under the leadership of Professors H. A. Urseth and H. N. Hendrickson. The expansion was supported by popular opinion. George Sverdrup, Jr.—changed the focus A major oal of the Sverdrup period and one that was realized was the trans orrnation of the preparatory department into an independent college with an academy. While full accreditation did not come until later. the education department was accredited in 1920 and graduates of Augsburg were admitted to graduate schools around the country. Co-education was introduced in 1922. Sverde led the school through the depression of the early 30's. This was not. however. the first time the school had faced financial crisis. Finances were. and continue to be. a nearly constant concern at the college. In all such situations. however. the leaders of the institution found the necessary resources to keep the school in operation. On more than one occasion the faculty has accepted or even suggested that raises be small, that no raises be offered or that decreases be instituted so that the program of the college need not be compromised. Two decisions came out of the depression. The dream of moving to the suburbs was tabled and later rejected after years of discussion. The factors in remaining at the present site were the urban location. the proximity of the University of Minnesota and the financial situation of the school. The second decision was the elimination of the academy. This recognized the continuing growth in size and quality of the public school system. The depression brought increased awareness of the advantages of the city location. Many students desiring an education during this period. as today. had to earn all or part of the funds themselves and were able to do so through employment in the city. The mid-30's brought Augsburg to the beginning of a new era. Sverdrup could report that enrollment was up and that substantial beginnings had been made in a fund drive to provide new facilities. .qﬂ 1P7 1"?“ “newer, p-v - ﬁﬂ‘m’qM-WM3- ‘. g .. w afar-ﬁr»

The future is faced With boldness and impatience. Augsburg College, in its Centennial Year. uniquely em- bodies both the Wisdom of age and the zest of youth. As an institution it has known 100 years of continuous his— tory. As a fully aCCredited, four-year liberal arts college. Augsburg is a mere stripling of fifteen years. One benefit of a centennial observance is the pause it provides to listen once more for the themes which, like those in a symphony, were introduced at the beginning. and, While somewhat obscured in the development, ap- pear again for recapitulation With faster tempo. broader orchestration and bolder volume in the climax Such themes were enunCIated in the first decade of Augsburg's first century. It would be a school with a liberal educational outlook. It would have an urban loca— tion and an urban involvement. it would empha5ize the richness of a cultural heritage. The broad somal concerns of a contemporary somety would be in focus. The student would be primary in the teaching program and responSi- ble for his own maturation. Freedom of intellectual and religious expression would be respected and the school would move in the main stream of the Christian tradition. Why these themes may seem to have been obscured or experienced such slow development at Augsburg is not ours to judge. The point is: they are here to be heard and Augsburg would reassert their validity and centrality today. This is reflected in the fact that Augsburg is com- mitted to four baSic goals as asserted in a statement of presupposnions undergirding a recent faculty study of the college's academic development. Augsburg Will be a college With academic exce//ence. Augsburg Will be a college With emphasis on the //bera/ ans. Augsburg Will be a free. Christ/an co//ege. Augsburg will be an urban co//ege. The wisdom of our years underscores the validity of these aims. but the exuberance of our youth makes us impatient. and sometimes frustrated, as we plunge into the changes which are imperative for our significant SLlTVl‘vti! in tne years ahead Dr. Chrislock closes his fasCinating histori. of AUGSK‘LHQ.

But for us on earth the passing of a hundred years marks a milestone calling us to earnest thanksgiving. We give thanks today for our immigrant fathers. in whose hearts and by whose hands Augsburg College had its beginnings. We thank thee for a century of gifted and dedicated leaders and teachers; for thousands of students who here have sought and found a true education for service to their fellow-men; for hundreds of homes and churches which have given grateful support to a cause that they loved. Nor do we give thanks only for the deeds and dreams of yesterday. but equally for the challenges of tomorrow. May Augsburg College see her task with new eyes in a new day. And may the light of God be her unfailing beacon. in storm and calm. We give thanks this day also for our country. the United States of America. whose heirs and debtors we all are—where liberty is proclaimed throughout the land. and from which the seeds of freedom have long been sown afar. Make us, 0 God. truly free in our time —as a people. as a whole people! Above all today we thank Thee that. transcending all the wonders of human wisdom. grace and truth have come to us through Jesus Christ. Thou hast not left man to walk alone in his darkness Into Thy good hand. 0 God. we commit this Centennial Commencement, each member of the class being graduated. and the whole unfolding future of Augsburg College.

Show moreWINTER SPORTS Hockey The team this year has a nucleus of twelve returning lettermen supplemented by a fine group of freshmen, plus two in- dividuals, Mike Anderson who five years ago was an all-conference goalie for Augsburg before a stint with the Navy, and Gregg Nelson, a transfer student from the University of Pennsylvania. Gradua- tion cost the Auggies three all-MIAC players in John Harden, Tom Iverson, and Mark Sateren, last year's tri-captains. Coach Saugestad says We are a bit smaller this year, but will try to make up for this with three balanced lines, three sets of defensemen, and speed. The league as a whole should be up this year, and Concordia, which now has its own indoor ice should be especially improved. Coach Saugestad favors Gusta- vus, St. Mary's, and Augsburg to steal the honors, but recognizes St. Thomas and St. John's as teams to look out for in the conference title race. Augsburg this year will face two outstanding northern college teams. On Dec. 5 and 6 in Port Arthur, 0nt., Cana- da, the team meets Lakehead University, a team which last year defeated national NAIA champs, Bemidji. In January the Auggies host the University of Winnipeg. Wrestling The Auggies will be seeking their third-straight MIAC title this year under the direction of Coach Ron Pfeffer who is in his fourth year at Augsburg. The team will have a hard time equaling last year's 14-1 dual meet record and their 11th place finish in the NAIA tour- nament. The Auggies were also undefeated in conference competition while winning the MIAC tournament, the Carleton-St. Olaf Invitational and the All-Lutheran Championship last season. This will be a rebuilding year for the young Augsburg squad. They lost five lettermen from last year's team including the outstanding Miller twins, Daryl and Dale. Graduation especially hurt the team in the upper weights. Seventeen freshmen will be battling for starting positions this year, and are expected to play key roles in nearly half of the weight classes. Some of the freshmen who are expected to help the Auggies this year include Tim McEwan, Ron Georgeson, Tim Gutzman, Scott Brown and Jim Lewis in the lower weights, while Jeff Erickson, Chris Gates and Mark Mat- tison will battle in the middle weights. In the heavier weights the Auggies will get help from Kim Anderson and Terry Pe- terson. The Auggies will be facing their toughest schedule ever as this year they face such NAIA powers as Morningside, Up- per Iowa and St. Cloud in non-conference action. In the MEAC, St. John's, St. Thomas and Concordia should give Augsburg their toughest competition. In all it will be another exciting year for the wrestlers. Faced with a difficult schedule, hurt by graduation and inexperience, the Auggies may have an up-hill battle. But with the winning tradition and pride that this team has, it shOuld be another winning season. Basketball The key to Augsburg basketball for- tunes this season could well be determin- ed in the backcourt. Coach Ernie Ander- son must replace three starters and will be handicapped by inexperience. Mike Haag, a 6'9" sophomore from Ho- ward Lake, Minn., is the leading candi- date for the center position vacated by graduating Bruce Mestemacher. Haag, one of five returning lettermen, appeared in 20 games for the Auggies last season, but saw little extended action. John Ewert, sophomore from Spring Lake Park, and Bruce Wessman, junior from Cokato, are the only returning starters. Evert, still hobbled by a football injury to his leg, may not play until January when he might see duty at center. The other returning lettermen are forwards Gary Syverson and Dave Lehrke, both sophomores from Willmar who saw lim- ited action last year. Jim Geske, sophomore from Mounds View, returns from last year's squad, but saw little action. He will likely team. with either Gary Ellefson, freshman from Esko, or Brad Olson, fresh from Osseo. Both boys have impressed Coach Anderson in the early practice sessions. 6 O O 7

Humphrey thinks so, and he made a good case for that belief in his commencement address to the 1969 graduates of Augsburg College. E] Sounding a theme that has become the hallmark of the former vice president's philosophy, Mr. Humphrey urged today's graduates to learn the lesson that progress in the United States has been no “improvised happening,“ that It has taken involvement, and hard work, and study, and self-doubt, and passionate disagreement, and finally understanding [3 Mr. Humphrey chided the graduates to remember that their parents faced perils of their times and that “They had to meet trouble in large sizes." But he also praised the younger generation for its accomplishments: I believe you sense the lull measure of what you face. lhave seen you in the Peace Corps. helping strangers. lhave seen you marching down dusty roads on behalf of tel/ow Americans whose skin doesn't happen to be white. lhave seen you, in Vista or the Teacher Corps, lifting the forgotten to a place of self-respect in life. lhave seen you, standing calm. resisting the temptation of violence, for what you believe in. lhave seen you, wearing your nation's uniform, bravely fighting for a cause far more difficult to understand than any we have defended before. / have seen you speaking out, from deep personal conscience, without thought of personal popularity. ﬂ Again, alluding to the popular notion that prosperity, the birthright ot so many of the younger generation, keeps them from understanding the great problems and slow solutions of the past and today, Mr. Humphrey concludes with the "overriding truth" about the younger generation. . t you show a remarkable degree of serious introspection for the children of prosperity." [3 You will be able to tell your children about this era of higher education “l was there in 1969." And to further remind his listeners of their obligations, Mr. Humphrey pointed out a fact of existence: “You Will be responsible for our national security and my medicare.”
