We don‘t like the way they have achieved that definieeness by indoctrination from the top of a mall tarian government, but we owe it to our fellow citizens and to our convict tions to use our free method of educa- tion to accomplish a result which can match the well'though-ds'ctatorially- formulated opposition. If we really have the truth, we ought to be able to express it." (end of quote) I don't believe any businessman has said so well what we all feel to deeply. If we will equip our students with the facts, the ability to evaluate those facts, and the enthusiasm to proclaim them widely, I am confident that our way of life will not only survive but take increased vitality for their critical scrutiny and judgment. Understand Heritage From what I have been saying so far, you will rightly gather that I be' lieve the concern of the educator should extend far beyond the preparation of the student for some specific occupation or business and should encompass the whole business of living. It's true that a substantial part of modern education must be vocational in emphaSls. As we face the increasing complexities of the modern world. we need more and more highly trained specialists. We need them to run our complex machim and to design new and better ones; we need them to help run our communities and organi» zatlons which are becoming even more complex; we need them to cure ills nesses. physical, mental. and social. But we need more than that. We are living in a world in which we have tremendously increased our informer “ammo-honing. Wbly inn creased our wisdom. We are living in a world in which we have fantastically multiplied our riches without having fully learned to use those riches wisel'y. We have developed our natural re- sources Without having developed cor- respondlngly greater resources of the spirit. We badly need today mm With the broad outlook, men with a sure grasp of rhel'r intellectual heritage, mentally and morally disciplined and trained to evaluate data and arrlve at sound dc: cisions in all aspects of life, and es- pecially in human relations. Such men have established standards to guide them—not only intellectual but moral as well. They have learned that "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom " And they have what White- head has called "the habitual vision of greatness.“ However we arm: at II. it ls my bet he! that stressing ethical concepts should be a basic part of education. Most of our educatlunal msrluuons were started by churches and first headed by minls' ms, and Whlle open to all faiths and tolerant of all beliefs. the great malon' ty of them have continued to empha- size the relanonshlp of man to his Maker and the final accounting that tach individual must render for hls ac- uons. Such emphasis, it seems to me. recognizes a fundamental educational truth: that culture In its highest sense is moral as well as intellectual and alslhltlc. Most of us have an instinctive do Sire for a long life, but the fullness and joy of a life depend not on the one dimension. lenglh. but on the pro' duct of length (ll'nEs breadth times depth And it is our colleges which add the ma] factors of breadth, through their emphasis on the liberal arts, Ind depth. through their emphasis on reli- glun. It educates men and women to be able to say. like Saim Paul writing from prison. "I have learned to be con' tent, whatever the circumstances may be. I know how to live when things are difficult and 1 know how to live when things are prosperous " | l Any review of businas management in this country sho- daat over fie years it has become a profession. The person with little education may climb to the top; it Will be a sad day for our democracy when it is not possible for him to do so. Yet we must recog- nise that such a person succeeds in spite of heavy handicaps. For lhe most part, the busian leader of today is professionally trained. A recent study of 33,500 business exemnvea shows that 38 percent had college back- grounds, and significantly, that 71 per: cent of them came from independent. privaoely'aupported schools that have chiefly fostered ah: general, or “liberal arts,“ kind of education of which I have been speaking. Without abandon- ing the traditional concth of learn- ing, llbey have tailored their curricula to changing times. The study of mache' macics and of science, for example. has been increasingly emphasised. both as a mental discipline and as providing tools and information to help students un> derstand and prepare for their roles, whatever they may be, in the world of today. And although we businessmen, in appraising our debt to the colleges, are likely to look first at our own staff mem' bers who are graduates, let us not for- get to be thankful also that many of their graduates have turned away from the financial attractions of lobs in “1' dustry in favor of teachlng, preaching, and the hundreds of other important public servlce tasks When you study the leadership of our religious and community service organizations, while the statistics are less pNClSt. the pre' ponderance of college'trained men and women is overwhelming. They are not only socially conscious, but are Willing, and able, to do something about it. Colleges Need Help Beside the fine record of our pri’ varely-suported institutions we must place a szrlous and alarming fact: these colleges. to which we owe so much, have had increasingly tough sledding financially in recent years. Narly one half of them are now operating in the red. Most of them badly need new dormitories, laborator' les, or olhyr facillries. Some have been forced to dip into their endowment capital or, what is worse, curtail their teaching staffs. Some of then best and most dedicated teachers have been com' pelled by family needs to take more adequately paid poslrlons in industry or in tax'supported institutions. Statistics show that college teachers are the only major group in lhls country the pur chasing power of whose salaries has act lually declined over the past fifteen years. The reasons for this condition are! not hard to find, The schools' operating costs have soared like those of all of us. ln the meantime, their endowment: income has nor kept pace proporllon' atcly; where such lncume covered more than a quarter of all costs before World War 11, it now covers only one eighth or less, Tuition: have rilst an average of 60 percent since 1940. but can scarcelty go higher as long as state university IUIIIOn is so far below cost, Our schools, of course, cannot long- opurare at a deficit any more than can, any other element in our economy.

The presentation was made by Dr. Martin Quanbeck, Dean of the College. grams. More important, would our tarsuported schools continue to do as good a lob without the competition of private colleges? Would they be able to preserve their academic freedom from the inroads of political coercion? The Commlsslon on Financing Higher Education, created by the Association of American Universities, has grave doubts on these points, and so have I. Furthermore. lf our private, indcl pendent institutions were to fade from the scene for lack of our financial sup- port, even greater sums would be er "acted from us in the form of taxes for more expensive state-controlled edur cation for which the student would pay only a small fraction of the costs. And in the process, our Amtncan culture would have suffeud an lnulculable loss. No one interested "1 higher edu' catlon in America would seriously en- tertain this e\'enluallty. Is There A Solution Many have already rallied to the cause of these colleges. Individual gifts have in most cases been well maintained of hlgh taxes, and alumni llV' greatly increased, though few of them have fully discharged thelr ln- dIVIduil obligations, However, most of the large fortunes of past generations. from whlch mayor glfu could be made, have disappeared. and few new ones can be built up under the'tax laws that ha\e prevalled during most of the put generation," The steady growth of corporate con- lnbunom since the association was or: ganlud In 1951 Is depicted by the fact that $51,050 were given by 2| donors ln 1951152, $82,800 by 32 donon ln 195153, $128,200 by 57 donon ln 1953154 and $159,690 by 127 ln 195$ 55 The WES-56 goal It $350,000.

Does Christian education and the work of the Christian college have any relevance to these vast forces that today are struggling for mastery in our world, that are shaking old systems to their very foundations? ‘ We believe that it does. For true Christian education is one of the strongest citadels of the truth and freedom for mankind. In the Chris- tian college. the mind of youth is opened to the boundless horizons of truth, and the heart of youth can be set free and aflamc for Christ. and for the service of God and humanity. The Christian col- lege is convinced that only in the Gospel is there the dynamic ade- quate to DWreome the materialist tic ideologies of today‘s world. For it is within the heart and mind of man himself that the problems of the world must find their basic solutions. ‘The key to reaching the heart and mind of youth is the Christian 'Incher, the man or woman who has become so possessed with the vision of Christ's truth and the need of the world that he gives ::-himself with passionate devotion .Ltn the task of transmitting that vision to the rising generation of youth. To sit at the feet of this kind of a teacher is one of lifc‘s richest privileges. To givc young people the priwlege of seeing life find the world through the eyes of such teachers. and thereby , “through thr: eyes of Christ". is 47th: purpose of the Christian col' 'lege.

The ten- session program ran from January 16 through March 19. Courses taught were generally of avocational interest to the mem' bers of the classes, according to Dr, Arthur Nash, director of the evening school. The sechedule of classes and teachers included Youth Work in the Church, Merton Strommen; Norwegian Folk Painting, Hans Berg; Introduction to Choir Direc' ting, Leland Sateren; and Drawing and Painting, Ivan Doseif.

Museum Possibilities The need for an adequate place to display Augsburg‘s collection of rare and historically interesting rev lics and antiques has been felt by every student and alumni who has had the privilege to “rummage” through the attic in Main. Students have now proposed that one of the rooms vacated by the library in Main be remodeled to contain the growing collection of articles de' picting the life and growth of Augsburg. When these proposals materials izc it will be possible to invite for display additional items now held by alumni and friends. The display of such articles as George Svcrdrup‘s desk, the first organ used in chapel, the pulpit from the chapel in The Old Main building, the victory hell that hung in Old Main, as well as hundreds of other pieces, including pictures. would not only bring back memor' ies to the alumni but would serve to increase the students‘ interest, appreciation a n d knowledge of Augsburg‘s colorful 87ryear his! tory. - - Sports Review - — This year's program has been an inspiration to all Auggie sports . “vi-h .a l and err u ia r"o‘ 'll‘afl‘d'bas- ke‘tball‘teams has surpassed all past records. On two occasions the crowds reached 3800 and 4400 spectators. Student enthusiasm was at an all time high in team sup! port. A natural development which grows on the student and public like a snowball when conditions are tight. The football squad was the best since the 1928 championship team. They were in contention for the Championship until the final game of the season. Tom Hoiflander, Se, nior played center and was named All State and was placed on the third team in the Little All Amer- ican. Prospects are very promising for another "strong team next year. This year's basketball team often referred to as the “flying midgets“ compiled 17 wins, the most ever scored in one season at Augsburg. They won the Paul Bunyan lnvr tation tournament at chidji dur' ing the Christmas holidays, and they ended up in a tie for third place in Conference play. The team loses four outstanding seniors in Plumedahl, Olson, Gehring and Hess. Jim Plumedahl and Luther Olson received All-State rccognr tion. We congratulate our coaches. Mr Ernest Anderson, Edor Nelson an their assistants for the fine rc» cord their teams have contributed in the Conference this year. Last but not least we salute the boys who have performed beyond the rule of statistics to compile such an outstanding year of thrills. Robert Hovden, senior from St. James, has been awarded a teach- ing assistantship worth $1,505 from the school of chemistry at the University of Minnesota. At rhc same time Bob will do graduate study toward a master of scicncc degree in organic chemistry. Evangelism Institute Pastors and laymen of the L.F,C, held their Evangelism Institute on the campus February 16 and 17. One of the chief topics was: "What do we expect from God in evangelism today?" Many present at the sessions had experienced the work of the P,T.R. Mission in the Twin Cities the week before and others had participated in similar ventures at ether times. With this background of visible fruit and re‘ sults of what planned evangelism can do to the Christian, the lax and thc unchurchcd. It became evi' dent that the Christian Church through its pastors and members must go out and witness in the home and invite everyone into the fellowship of the Church and the Word of God. What we expect from God is not enough. What God expects of us in evangelism today is not too much, but plan- ned faithfulness on our part would give God an opportunity to reach and increase the household of faith. This is evangelism. This is the News A Residence for Women has becn built at Augsburg a fte r thirtyrthree years of coeducation! A loan of $360,000 from the Fed' cral Housing Administration made this possible. However, it was im- perative last spring and summer to launch a Woman's M o v e m e n t a‘fii‘o’fig The‘friends 'of Augsburg to raise $85,000 to provide furnish- ings for the new building and to refurbish and repair the old Sivert' sen Wing. This committee is serving on a voluntary basis and doing most of its work by correspondence with the women‘s organizations of the church. the alumni and friends of Augsburg, This is their only meth' od of receiving gifts to the work. There is to be no personal solicit tation. On March 1. the Building Fund Oflice reported that gifts have been received in cash and pledges amounting to $49,073,w1th $42,500 in cash The termination date was set for June 1956 and it is the com' mittce‘s sincere hope that the goal of $85,000 may be reached by that time.

Lent, A Season . 0f Additions Ash Wednesday Chapol Message By Rev. Gerhard Breiheim This message has been condensed in order to bring it to you. Several years ago our Lutheran youth magazine carried an article under the heading “Mathematics For Lent.“ It began by quoting a grandfather who said Lent is “al‘ ways a season of subtractions!" During this season “people always think they have to subtract some- thing from their living. Nine times out of ten they realize they ought to subtract those things anyway." Lent be a season of additions in! stead?" This is the vein into ing. Extra Time Out to Pray Lent should be a season when we would take extra time out to pray. Prayer is one of those things universally praised but 3 e l d o m practised. It is one of the most widely commended but shamefully neglected gifts God has given us. Prayer is one of the means through blessed completeness. A complete life is what. I‘m sure. for. The search for this very thing this institution. And yet many of this a reality to us. Extra Time Out to Read God’s Word we would take extra time out to admit the value of daily being exv use it that regularly. It is possible for us while apply" ing ourselves in preparation for life‘s calling to new that Book which is needed to establish us and make life a successful experience. William Lyon Phelps, a noted prol fcssor of English literature said: “A knowledge of the Bible with' out a college course is more valu able than a college course without a knowledge of the Bible." How much better to have both! They are ours for the prayerful dlSC1‘ plined taking. During this Lenten season let us begin giving ourselves time in the daily schedule for reading God‘s Word Let us read the Pasl sion Story See our Savior, Permit' His life. sufferings. and death to grip our hearts and challenge our lives. This season \\'lll take on new significance for us. Life will be come more purposeful and enjoy, able. Extra Time Out to Think One more addition I'd like to challenge us to make during this season is extra time out to think. Consider the subject of this season. Jesus Christ. Him Crucified. Pause to reflect upon these great truths. If our reflection is sincere we shall be convicted again of our sinfulnes. \Ve shall see ourselves as the obicct of God‘s love, the benefactor of Christ's sacrifice. Extra time out to think should lead each of us to commit our life, our time, our talents and our means to Him A true response to sincere reflection on the subject of this season should include all of this. Make this Lent a season of ad— ditions If these additions are} prayer, Bible reading, and think ing; if these additions are made sincerelyfitbey will lead each of us to a more complete and blessed life during this season and through ahead of us ‘ By which mathematical process do we receive the largcst result— is true in thc spiritual realm.

Augsburg‘s part in this magni’ Grant" In the amount of 5127.500. One half of the money will be re: ceivcd on July 1. 1956. and the remainder a year later. These funds are to be invested in endows merit. for a period of at least ten years. and the interest used to in' of each grant was based on the ant nual salary budget. and “as so planned that it should be possible to increase full-time faculty salaries by an average of approximately 47:. The Augsburg Board of Trus' tees has already taken steps to carry out these provisions. The endowment fund at Augs- burg will be more than doubled when The Ford Foundation funds arc received. With the advances faculty. and curriculum. no type of gift could have been more approl priatc to our particular needs at this time than an increase of the endowment funds specifically 31' located for faculty salaries. Augsburg's sister institution, the Lutheran Deaconess Hospital. also shared generously in The Ford Foundation munificcncc. receiving a grant of $110,300, In tht‘ case of the hospitals the grants are to be used for needed improvements in facilities. A New Venture In Sharing During recent years the Bulletin has been directed especially toward the interest of the alumni and former students. But more and ram we have become aware that Aufiurg‘: program and orange should also reach the thousands of other friends and supporters who love and diam in her work. To keep up a regular contact also with these, this new. lens expensive for» mar has been adopoed. This new Bulletin will therefore be the oficial Augsburg Bulluzin. Future editions directed specifical- ly to the alumni will be known as The Augsburg Bulletin—Alumni Edition.

ACWC Sponsors Student Loan Fund Luncheon One of the major purposes of the Augsburg College Women's Club is to raise money for the Stu— dent Loan Fund. Proceeds from these luncheons and other individ' ual gifts during the past. have es' tablished a revolving fund for needy students. which now stands l at $9,492.68. The Student Loan Fund is ad» ministered by the College through the Oihce of the Dean of Students The present fund enables Augs’ burg to help about thirty—five stu' dents each semester. . The annual Student Loan Fund ‘Luncheon, open to the public .(both men and women), is to be -held at the Coffman Union. Uni' versity of Minnesota, on Saturday. March 17 at one o'clock This, will serve a dual purpose: to receive Lgifts for the Student Loan Fund. and to unite men and women about [the cause of Christian Higher Edu' :cation at Augsburg. The speaker [is Dr. Howard Hong. Professor of )Philosophy, St. Olaf C o l l e g c. gNorthfield. Minnesota Miss Ruth -Aune, 7200 Lakeland Ave.. Min— Eneapolis 22, Minn., is treasurer for -this year‘s program. i The Augsburg College Women's :Club also a w a r d s scholarships :amounting to $400 each year. This ,money is raised by the Craft Shop. Ea branch of the Club. The scholar Iships are awarded to Sophomores (or Juniors on the basis of academic gachievement, character. and finan' 5cial need. The George Sverdrup Library Since the theme for the back cover of this issue portrays the L1" brary this also would be the time to give a summary account of events to this'point. Tuesday, January 24, the Gen' eral Library Committee held its fi’ nal meeting and declared its func' tions completed as far as the pror motion of gifts were concerned. Reports were given summarizing the activities and results over the many months of work devoted to this churchwide effort, alumni ef— fort and that of our friends. Hun, dreds and thousands of people had to be contacted but not by the same criterion did they give. This I am sure is the high point for thanksgiving. Why did individuals and groups respond so generously during these times and for this particular project? Can we deny the “faith in action“ which our people have demonstrated so won- derfully? The George Sverdrup Library is a beautiful instrument and setting for assimilation of knowledge and the establishment of the individual through the printed word. As it should be. we now boast of the Library as the center of activity on the Augsburg campus. The total cost of the Library (not including furnishings) was $404,000. Total amount received in cash and pledges (after deducting campaign expenses) was $427,542. Amount contributed by the alumni was 595,140. Unpaid pledges as of March 1, 1956 amount to $136,' 200. As indicated in the statistics, there is still quite a large sum outstanding in unpaid pledges. We borrowed 80% of the unpaid pledges from the bank to pay the contractors. Therefore it is well to remind those who have pledged that each dollar that comes in re duces the amount of interest paid. As we finish one chapter and turn to the next let us again ofler prayer and give praise to God for all who have shared in this ven- ture. May each of us sense a deep' er responsibility as co'laborers to the host of supporters who contin‘ ue to place their confidence and faith in Augsburg and its work. PhD Completed Professor Henry Bertness, head of the Department of Psychology and Education, completed his work for the doctorate at the University of Minnesota in July, 1955. Dr. Bcrtness earned the PhD. degree with a major in educational psy' chology. His doctoral dissertation was a statistical research product of an interest in the identification and encouragement of young men con' aidering the Lutheran ministry as their vocation. The thesis, -An Analysis.of the Interests of Luther- an Ministers as Measured by the Strong Vocational Interest Blank, resulted in an improvemet on the best known means for comparing the interests of young men with the interests of men successful in the Lutheran ministry. Three new interest scales were developed, each scale being equal ‘to or better than like existing scales, The ability of the new scales to separate. on the basts of interests, Lutheran miniS' ters from other professional men was remarkable. Dr. Bertness intends to make these new scales available to Lutb' eran colleges and seminaries for use in their counseling programs. Evidences concerning the techni' cal problems of interest scale con— struction, differences in interests among rural and urban ministers, and changes of interests with age were presented in the dissertation. These evidences are gaining the ad' ditional interest of other psycholo' gists and research workers in edu- cation. Dr. Christlock to Lead SPANers in Engla Twenty'two SPANers will be under the leadership of Dr. Carl H. Chnslock when _they study in England next summer. Dr. Chris- loclt will travel with the students as their adviser during their three month stay. Until they leave, he will meet with the group every two weeks. Besides getting acquainted at these meetings, the SPANers are studying the background and culture of England to make their trip more meaningful. The SPAN program was started by the University of Minnesota ten years ago and is limited to Minnesota colleges. Patricia Lar son, Mary Ann Braseth, Byron Gov lie and Dennis Barnaal are the Augsburg students who will study in England. Dr. Chrislodt, who is associate professor of history and political science, is also an Augsburg gradr uate. He received his master of arts degree and his doctor‘s degree from the University of Minnesota. Last year Dr. Chrisloclt spent the summer teaching at the University of Minnesota. Congregational Representatives In several LEC. congregations members have been delegated to represent Augsburg College. Sev' eral of these people have visited the college to become better ac' quainted and thereby better able to interpret the college to the home congregation and especially to the future Augsburg students. We hope this will continue to be a growing organization. The present members are listed below: Gilbert Berg, Seattle, Wash. Mrs. Nels Berger, Veblen, S.D. Miss Ona Braden, Penile, Minn.

On Coming Home A semester‘s ‘ leave of absence '- spent in study ‘ and ,in traveling - among colleges ". in the East and ‘ Midnlest has been for me a unique a n d in- formative experi' - mm; wanna: my via.“ to 30 colleges I found the majority of them preparing to meet the chal- lenge of increasing enrollments. This is particularly true of the church related colleges. 0n nearly all these campuses buildings are gov ing ups—dormitories, gymnasiumr, chapels. libraries and student uni- ons. This is not to imply that the millennium will be brought about by sending everyone to college. Nevertheless, there is considerable evidence of increasing need of college-trained people and much in‘ dication that more people capable of good college work will be seek- ing institutions to attend. The colleges are seeking ways of doing better jobs. I was particular ly interested in the efiorts of vari- ous colleges to adapt their curricu- lum and instructional procedures to students of varying interests and abilities. Honors programs and other type: of tntorul' or group in- struction were employed ingot aim and most efi'ectively, I in some of the smzng Idem mu colleges. ' . I was snrpriwd to find that am gineering department: had been developed in some of the college so largely devoted to the liberal mi' 1 al ' n many p aces mm were extremely active. Some of 3: colleges have several alumni chap- ters and many individual alumni in isolated places also keeping in clone touch with the work of the all" lege. I found the Augsburg alumni whom I met also very interested in their college. . I return home with a real respect for the work done in the college! I visited. They are doing many ad- mirablc things and some which Augsburg might well emulate. But I have no sense of discouragement. I returned to a college with an alert and energetic faculty. It is a college with an increasing aware, ness of the role it has to play in the Minneapolis and midwut com munities. The new buildings are a great encouragement to real achievement and they are being well cared for. There is a growing concern for scholarship and for the problems involved in doing the task well. We shall, I am con- vinced, meet the challenge of the future. Enrollment Top: Last Year The college enrollment for the second semester at Augsburg is 657. This compares with $83 a year ago and 677 the first semester of this year, excluding the student nurses. By classes the numbers are: '73 seniors, 131 juniors, 154 sopho» mores, and 262 freshmen. A year ago the freshman class was 7.46. There were also fewer seniors, 59. The largest gain was in the junior class; where a year ago there were 93, there are now 131. The total enrollment for this year in the college and seminary was 907. This compares with 834 ‘ing’, were and 794 in the two preceding 'yurs. Jesus Came to Religion: Emphasis at Augsburg Dr. Geor e Am!" professor of Systematic fiieology at Luther Se— minary in St. Paul was the guest speaker during Religious Emphasis Week at Augburg from February 27 to March 1. “Faith Can be Re- levant" war the general theme of Dr. Auu‘ messages. Augsburg students whO. . _ . . . and guests, sages concurring a living Christ, living faith. a living love and a living hope. spoke in a real convicting spirit to many of our . students. They were reminded w pecially to analyze their adolescent spiritual condition and seek to nourish it into a full grown and mature status, fully surrendered and dedicated to Christ and the work of His Kingdom. Ecumenical Student Conference on Christian World Mission Junice Aasness Over three thousand students from more than seventy'five lands and a variety of confessional back- grounds gathered for the Ecumeni' cal Student Conference on Christi' an World Mission on the univer sity campus at Athens, Ohio from December 27, 1955 through Janu' ary l, 1956. Augsburg delegates were Alice Lindell, Andrew Hsiao, and myself. The purpose of the Conference theme, “Revolution and Reconcili' ation", was to remind us of the world in revolution in which the Christian Church must carry on its ecumenical mission. and for a world in strugle we have the great Bib l ic al theme of reconciliation through Jesus Christ. By having re alistic understanding of our world, we can see more clearly the significance and relevance of what God has done in Jesus Christ. the Reconciler. Through our praying, worship! ping, Bible discumions. vocational seminars, area forums, and group fellowship, we were strengthened in the sense of unity to be found among all who acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord. We were also made conscious of the fact that as we receive the gift of God‘s reconcili- ation in Jesus Christ, we an em abled to know ourselves, to experi' ence newness of life in the comv munity of the Church. to be re- conciled to our neighbors. and to be instruments of God's renewal in relations between groups, classes, races, and nations. The Conference created in every delegate a great sense of expectan- cy of what God will do through students as they hear His all to participate in. the work of the whole Church proclaiming the whole Gospel to the whole world.

Our college e n r o l l m c n t is again some- what above that of a year ago—not too much, but just about right, we think. Total enrollment to date, in- cluding 26 Seminary students and 161 student nurses. is 905. The new Women’s Residence, taken into use last spring, is overfilled. Hundreds of these students, both new and old, Bernhard Christina-n ‘ them to “see all things through the eyes of Christ.” 2. This fall we have several oul- atanfing additions to our Faculty. men nd women able and eager not only to give excellent instruction but to lead youth to a vision of God and of the world and its need. Fun- damental for Augsburg’s whole pro- gram are its teachers. Many of them have home “the burden of the day" through many years. This year. as often before when we were in special need. valuable reinforce- ments have been enlisted. who will add both academic richeS, profes‘ sional skill. and inspiration to Augsburg’s program. New build- ings are important, essential; but they can never take the place of good teachers. 3. We have just received the au. ditor’s report covering our financial operations for the past fiscal year. In current operations, we closed the year “in the black". And gifts to various parts of the physical plant (especially the Women’s Residence Furnishings Fundl increased our capital assets substantially in the course of the year. Our congrega- tions gave a total of 811830126 toward current expenses. From bus- iness corporations through the Min- nesota College Fund we received $16,180.11. Once more the prayers and gifts and cooperation of thou- sands of friends have enabled Augs- burg’s work to be carried success- . fully forward through another year. 4. The Annual Conference of the Lutheran Free Church in June voted to initiate a “Forward Phase” movement which if successfully car- ried out will provide 5.300.000.00 toward our much-needed Auditori— nm-GymnasiumJThe building will / CLASS REUNION Alumni Attending M.

Thousands have sac- rificed in the rebuilding of Augs- burg‘s campus during the past gen- eration. (Even as other thousands sacrificed for its building in earlier generations: but has anyone really become poorer as a result? “Ask and ye shall receive . . . give and ye shall be given". is our Lord’s promise. 5. Our Augsburg Development Program is steadily getting under way on a permanent footing. (The new Bulletin is one symbol and ex- pression of this.) All the campaigns and ingatherings of the past years have prepared the way. Without these. the—beautiful. efficient build- ings that now greet the Augsburg campus visitor would not be here. But they. and all the advances in curriculumv faculty. and enrollment. must be undergirded with a strong ongoing Development Program. to be carried on through decades to come. This is what has now been seriously begun in the Living En- dowment. a program of regular an- nual giving by friends of the school. It is a program big enough. inspiring enough. to challenge all our alumni. all our friends. our whole Church. It is motivated by the vision of a steady stream of youth. generation after generation. being prepared for work and wit- ness in the service of Christ. Thou- sands of friends and supporters will. we know. join us in making this vision a reality. And the pro- gram is worthy. we believe. of all their devotion. dedication. and sac- rifice. - These are some of the “perspec- tives” that give meaning to life and joy to service as a new school year opens at Augsburg. l916—Dr. 0.

DR. T. O. BURNTVEDT, PRESIDENT OF THE l..F.C. Dr. Burntndt, shown seated in the main lobby of the new Residence 'for Women before delivering the dedicotory address, has been on enthusi- astlc supporter of Augsburg’s program. ofjbiahome which ' ‘- 5'" thers all contribute to make him a man of the people, with the people. and for the people. Dr. Burntvedt who has been elect< ed to the Presidency of the Lu- theran Free Church for twenty-sev- en years has emerged as a leader of stature and strength, a living example of the Christian concept of vocation. To enumerate the vast amount of zeal and energy this man has devoted to his church would require unlimited space to adequate- ly honor his illustrious career. Yet there is more. . . . Dr. Burntvedt treasures the beau- tiful, as anyone who has been a guest in his gracious home can realize. Paintings of character and excellence, good music and hooks, gleaming silver on a beautiful ta- ble. and stimulating conversation with much laughter are integral WW3 two a ' ' ' whohave created it. His , prayers are often poetic prose, and his sermons are creative and grippin . Dr. Burntvedt is a word artist. 0 but he could give such exquisite word portraits as final salutations to beloved friends? What do his contemporaries think of him? In 1933 St. Olaf Colle awarded him an honorary Ll... . King Haakon of Norway bestowed the Royal Order of St. Olaf, rank of Commander, upon him. He is the Dean of Councillors of the Na- tional Lutheran Council1 and his service as chairman of the Joint Polity and Organization Commit- tee in the merger negotiations was so outstanding that the Joint Com- mittee made him a special award on December 1, 1955. In it Dr. Tillman Sogge said, “Your highest sights have been fixed on the solidarity and strength of tomorrow’s Luther- an Church.” It is generally recog- nized that Dr. Burntvedt’s influence in national Lutheranism is out of proportion to the size of his con- stituency. Dr. Frederick Schiota, President of the E.L.C.. has spoken of his “warm piety, bearing fruit in practical dealings . . ." Dr. Frank- lin l-‘ry. President of the U.L.C.A., expressed it well when he said. “Join a wise head to a consecrated char acter, and you get a jewel of a man.” This is T. 0. Bumtvedt. In Memory of Agnes Nose Domholt Mrs. Milo Domholt (Ayes Nose, B.A. 1938) died after several years of- illness on December 12. 1956.

President’s Perspecfiue By Bernhard Christensen BOARD INCRE FACULTY SALARIES Alumni Scholarship Augsburg Alumni who are doing or contemplate doing 1 Today we des- rately n e e d 5mm ‘ educa- tion that is alive. It is possible to have a program of so-called Christian educa- tion that is near- lfly dead in its in- uence, because it is so far re- moved from the real issues of life. Such a program may give lip-service to the main points of Christian truth, but yet call for no thoroughgoing trans~ formation of either life or thought on the part of the student. This type of “Christian” education is only vaguely related to the spirit- uall‘y revolutionary teachings of our Iernherd Christensen r . What kind of a program does have? Do we have a u of Christian educa- r i , ie who now . r a ' claim upbn their lives? Do their college courses truly awaken them to the stifling issues of our time? is their ability to understand and think sharpened so that they will not simply accept the prevailing jud - ments on the roblems of todays world, but loo deep beneath the surface with the eyes of justice and truth? Are their moral insights made keener and their moral con- victions more clear and strong? Are they given a vision of the glory of service to their fellow-men? Do they experience the deep satisfac- tion of fellowship not onl on the basketball floor and in the class— room. but in prayer and worship, ' and in earnest Christian conversa- tion and action? Do they learn to face life in terms of both time and eternity? These are some of the questions that inevitably come to a coil and seminary president whenefi: tries to look at his work in true "perspective." But why mention them in a col- umn which oes out to thousands of our frien s and supporters? ‘Is there any point in arading our heart-searching in pu lic? (Continued on out 1) V work are urged to make application for the Alum- ni Scholarship at the Alumni Office. 5500 will be available this year for this scholarship. The scholarship is o n to any alumnus and to memgrs of this year’s senior class. Applications should be at the Alumni Office by April 30, 1957. ’ The board of ‘ ees in its mart- ing on February 1957, adopted a new statement faculty person< nel policies. This ; an, formulated by the adminis n in consulta- tion with a comm e of the faculty, is a statement of - icy on appoint- ment and tenure, motion. salary, and retirement. important pro- vision is the ne . ale of salaries for teachers wh r provides sub- stantial increases or the 1957-53 school year. n action of the board, which went beyond the rec- ommendations presented in regard to salaries, was taken in order to create a situation wherein the teach- er will have a greater sense of economic security and increased op- portunity for professional develop- ment. it is believed that the im- proved situation will enable the college to retain its stall of fine teachers and to add the competent new teachers necessary in the ex- panding program. In order to help meet salary ad- vances and other rising educational costs, the board also acted to in‘ crease tuition charges from $200.00 to $225.00 a semester. A request for added support from the congre- gations of the church, the increas~ ingly significant support of Minne- sota business and industry through the Minnesota College Fund Assw ciation. and the income from the Ford Foundation Grant will provide the balance of funds nccessary to meet -increasing costs. The ' ' a ' of the Augsburg Alumni Associa- tion has chosen the following candidates. President: Mr. Arn- old Henjum. ’49 and Mr. Rob- ert Quanbeck, ’51. Vice Presi- dent: Mrs. Fred Helgeson, y26 and Shirley Dahlen, ’50. Ballots will be mailed to all alumni.

Just ask any of the six members of Augsburg‘s department of Eng- lish. You will get not just one an swer, but many answers. And when you leave. you may wonder just how you will get along without a major in English. Believing that the study of lan- guage and literature is an intrinsic part of a broad liberal arts educa- tion. they will inform you that Eng- lish studies may lead to a great variety of vocations. There is teaching. of course. Al- ready there are more teachers of English in the nation's schools than of any other subject. And the de- mand is steadily increasing. Last year. for example. 250 requests of English teachers came into Augs- burg’s placement bureau. Teaching is only one of many \ocational opportunities. The list is long. But the emphasis of the de- partment is not vocational. Rather it is on the general cultural values rt‘CElH‘.‘d as one comes into contact hill] the great masterpieces of litera- ture. At the present twenty-seven dif- ferent courses are offered in com» position. language. literature. and journalism. A student may receive a major or a minor in the depart- ment. He may prepare specifically for teaching in secondary schools or for graduate study. Or he may enroll in the department simply to increase his understanding of litera- ture and of life. lnstructors in the department all me Auto‘saunc BULLETIN Back Row—Mr. John Milton, Dr. Joel Mickelson, Mr. Rolf: Vanderbilt, Front Row—Mr. Gerald Thorson, head of the departmant, Miss Anne Peder- son, Mr. K.

Mr. Thorson will be chairman of the committee on arrangements for the national meeting of English teachers to be held in Minneapolis next November.

Miss Pederson has publish- ed in Christmas Echoes. Mr. Thor- son’s writings have appeared in Col- lege Composition and Communica- tion and Norwegian-American Studs L'e: and Records. Among the extracurricular activi- ties sponsored by the department are the college newspaper, the col- lege yearbook, and the Writers Club.

To them there is no question as to what you can do with a major in English. March-April, I957 St. Loni: Globo-Domoemt Honors leif J. Svordrui: Major General Leif .l. Sverdrup. a 1918 graduate of Augsburg, was recently selected as the St. Lorna Globe-Democrat’s “Man of the Year” for 1956. Military hero in World War II, outstanding engineer, and a lead- ing business and civic leader, Sver- drup is a cousin of Dr. George Sverdrup, former Augsburg profes- sor and president. After graduation from Augsburg, he attended the University of Min- nesota earning his BA and MS in engineering, and later taught there briefly. The engineering firm of Sverdrup and Parcel, lnc.. was organized in 1927 and today is a world leader. Initially, the firm engaged in only bridge building, but it now includes among its achievements an oil pipe- line and allied developments in Saudi Arabia, a multi-million dollar engineering center in Tennessee, and Busch stadium in St. Louis. Sverdrup received nine military citations for his service in the sec- ond world war. Notable among his wartime achievements was the building of a military airstrip in New Guinea under adverse condi- tions. in addition to holding important positions in military reserve organi- zations, he has been extremely ac- tive in Boy Scout work, aviation, and civil planning in and around the St. Louis area. English Conference Modern literature was the subject of conversation as students and faculty members from twelve private liberal arts colleges in Minnesota gathered for the Conference for English Departments sponsored by the Department of English at Augsburg on February 22-23. Six symposia and a luncheon constituted the formal part of the program. Speaker at the Saturday noon luncheon was Dr. William Van O'Connor. Associate Professor of English at the L‘niversity of Minnesota and author of several books. His topic was "The Grotesque in Modern American Literature.“ Students from Augsburg and Bethe] presented the opening symposium: American Literature of the Early 1920's. Discussing such writers as Cummings. Lewis, Dos Passos. O‘Neill. Fitzgerald and Eliot. they at- tempted to arriie at the dominant themes in the literature of this period. The American Novel since 1940 was the topic of a symposium given hi Carleton and St. Olaf students. Hamline and Concordia students discussed various aspects of Conrad's Nostromo. Twentieth century criticism of Milton's poetry was reviewed by stu- dents from St. Benedict and St. John's. Participants from Augsburg and St. Scholastica interpreted two major poems of the century, Auden‘s For the Time Being and Eliot‘s Four Quartets. Working toward a new concept of tragedy were students from St. Teresa and St. Mary‘s. Viewing modern drama in relation to Aristotle’s tlit'ta. they discussed such dramatists as lbscn. Eliot. Williams, O'Casey, Miller and O'Neill. liy providing' opportunity to undergraduates in English to present papers on literary topics. the Conference attempts to stimulate literary discussions and scholarly work among the students. At the same time the Conference serves to strengthen the bonds between the departments of English in the. private liberal arts colleges in Minnesota. Speech Department A speech major is considered ap- propriate for students who intend to Language Department Back Row—Dr. Mario Colucci, Dr. John Stensvaag, Mr. Ivar Olson, division chairman. Front Row—Dr. Biarne Landa, Mrs. Mimi Kingsley, Dr. Mllvin Holland. Man expresses himself more adequately in words than through other media. The rest of the arts are universal, and consequently fail to reveal the idiocrasies of a people as well as their idioms do. Really to know a neighbor requires that we have some acquaintance with his language. Seven foreign languages are taught at Augsburg. They are Latin, Hebrew. Greek, Norwegian, German, Spanish and French. The first three inttoduce us to cultures of the past. Besides, Latin is basic to a deeper understanding and more proficient use of English. The same is true in a large measure of Creek. The latter, together with Hebrew, are the languages of our Scriptures. Through the study of Norwegian we seek to become 1 ' “ with the l i of the of most of us. Spanish introduces us to our Latin-American neighbors of the south. German and French—together with English—have been lead- ing languages of Europe for centuries. Miss Morybelle Riley, Mr. Raymond Miss Ailene Cole Anderson. head of the depumnent enter the teaching profession. the ministry, or business. The Depart- ment has been expanding its offer- ings and activities rapidly during the past few years, and this fall has seen important innovations in both drama and radio. The addition of Miss Cole to the Speech Department faculty makes a real forward step at Augsburg. be- cause it is now possible to put on a major dramatic production every semester. Her first play, staged in November, was Thornton Wilder's “The Skin of Our Teeth.” Just before the holiday vacation, she di- rected an original Christmas pag- eant in cooperation with the Music Department. Now she is working on a choric drama by Ward entitled “The Figure on the Cross." Students in dormitories on the Augsburg Campus now turn their dials to 570 to listen to KAUG, the voice of Augsburg College. Operat- ing on a closed circuit system, sta- tion KAL'G is primarily a labora- tor for Mr. Anderson's course in ra io speech, but it is developing rapidly as an extra-curricular activ- ity for a group of enthusiastic stu- dents. Two students particularly have been active in this project. Cary Hoonsbeen designed and built the station and now serves as Chief Engineer. Daryl Fredine, u Pro- gram Director, arranges the broad- cut schedule. This spring, for the first time, it has been necessary to add a third faculty member to the Speech De- partment stafi to handle an unusu- ally heavy enrollment in the‘begin- ning public speaking course.

He commented on the excellent handling " rspective in color and design. “You can see,” he pointed out, "that though the building is old.'it still has a strong foundation—like Statistically, he is the oldest ac- tive pastor in the Lutheran Free Church. In spirit and outlook, he is one of the youngest When he walks into a room, he is tall, dignified, venerable. ln conversation he is alert, aware of the world he lives in and concerned about people. This is the paradox that is Dr. Claus Morgan. How can he be ex- plained? What manifold and myri- ad experiences have enriched the tapestry of his life? The boy named Claus was born in a Norwegian settlement in the valleys of Houston County in south-eastern Minnesota. As a four- year old, he was part of a three- generation family who moved west ——to the rolling plains west of Devils Lake, North Dakota. His home was a sod hut—but it must have been a house where love and security reigned. That is part of the answer. Pioneer pastors. including the Rev. E. 0. Larson, and teachers in the year-round school, including Augsburg students, profoundly in- fluenced his life. One of them, Mr. Torger Sinncs, t u t o r e d him in Greek, Latin and algebra by lamp- light after the sun set on the prairies. When Claus was 17. he was ac- cepted as a freshman at Augsburg. and for three years he studied in the curriculum of the day. More Greek. Latin, German. Norwegian and English! Athletics were limited ebut Claus was a good man on the croquet course on the campus square. There are some legends which other oldsters recount that seem to give evidence that while Claus was a scholar, he was also a high-spirited youth who easily found wholesome diversions when in a mood to let his Greek lexicon rest. In 1899 after two and a half years of college, he was graduated. He was the Valedictorian of his class. ' 2“,th Gustov Nordberg Dies Dr. Gustav Nordberg, 74.
