Show moreBASKETBALL CHAMPIONS LOOK TO NEXT SEASON With only one of his basketball reg— ulars—Clair Strommen—graduating this year. Coach Robert Carlson can look forward to the next season with well- warranted optimism. He looks backward with satisfaction too on the best Augsburg basketball sea- son since 1927. A record of 19 victories and two losses was compiled. Unbeaten in the practice tilts the Auggies won 11 of 12 Conference games to become co- champions of 1945, together with St. Thomas whose record was identical. All of the regulars: Strommen, Ahlbom, Carl— son, Sween, and Lindgren were placed on various all-state selections, some on one, some on several of the mythical teams. The Auggies were also chosen to rep— resent the Conference in a national tourn- ament at Kansas City in March. They ﬂashed to a lop-sided 64-36 victory in the ﬁrst game, but were edged out in the second when a star guard, Jeroy Carlson sprained his ankle in the ﬁrst ﬁve minutes of play. Had this not occurred the boys would probably have gone much further in the tourney. In post~season celebrations the coach and squad were honored at an "A" Club dinner at Coﬂman Memorial Union, and by the students and faculty at a Chapel Convocation. Gold basketballs, emblematic of the championship, were presented to the following: Clair Strommen, honory captain for 194;; Duane Lindgren; jeroy Carlson; Harold Ahlbom; Donald Sween; Ernest Perry; Richard Chamberlain; Roald No- kleberg; Arne Henjum; George Sverdrup; George Rusnacko; Robert Miller; Roland Gustafson; Coach Carlson; Arnold Hal- srud, trainer; and Phil Boxrud, manager.

' Not even a $2 per plate price tag could dampen the spirits of the 66 enthusiastic ones who came from all points of the compass. Einar Eikrem of Spokane was the distance champion, but there were others from Ferndale, Bellingham, Pouls- bo, and many other places. Various age groups were well repre- sented, too. There were veterans like Pastors J. Mattson, and P. Steen—and "not-yet Auggies" from the Gilbert Berg and Einer Botten families of Seattle. These three young folks are hopeful of attending next year. Helene Thorstenson, Helen Mohn, and Sigvald Hjelmeland did yeoman service in arrangements, etc., but there were other helpers, too. Considering all phases it was one of the ﬁnest gatherings of this type held anywhere. Synnove Stenberg led in invocation. Brother "Ken" had charge of group sing— ing. Einar Botten responded to the stimu- lus of the announcement that Augsburg had a new championship basketball team by leading in a current Auggie_yell of pronounced Norse character. (Botten was cheer-leader in another championship year, 1927.) The under-signed brought greet- ings from the home-base and showed the new Augsburg ﬁlms. Chester Blake as toastmaster kept things moving along throughout at a happy, sometimes hilarious tempo. The Constitution of this “Augsburg As- sociation" provides for membership too on the part of interested folks who may not have attended Augsburg. The pres- ence of a number of such people at the meeting added to the enthusiasm. All in all the success of the Puget Sound Asso- ciation should be a stimulus to other Aug- gie groups in various areas. —N. C.

Show moreVOLUME VIII - NUMBER 5 Published by Augsburg College and Theological Seminary, Minneapolis, Minnesota. A Lutheran Institution f o u n d e d r 8 69. THE Editor: Norman C. Anderson DECEMBER 1 946 AUGSBUBG BULLETIN THE RESOURCES OF GOD --- A Christmas Greeting from Augsburg Recently I have been more and more impressed with the thought that there are great depths of un- tapped resources for each one of us in God. In Him are the sources of life in all its aspects, and of life at its best. Christmas, the holy season which we are just now entering upon, proclaims that when Christ came all the riches of God were placed at man’s dis- posal. At His birth Jesus was called Immanuel, mean- ing "God with us.” In Him, the “Eternal Father strong to save,” came to man’s rescue, to bring to man His best gifts, both for this world and for the world to come. Four years after the dramatic rescue from death in the South Seas of Eddie Rickenbacker and his companions, a reporter asked one of them whether the faith he had then found was holding up. He replied that he had learned that "eternal vigilance” is the price of retaining a vital faith. He ﬁnds it necessary, he said, again and again to go back in quiet. thought to the unforgettable days when God was with them so wonderfully there on the vast southern ocean. The pressure of many duties and the drive of modern life tend to starve out faith from our souls if it is not given frequent and steady nurture. How can we maintain such a spiritual vigilance, we may well ask ourselves. I know of no true an— swer save the old ones: the fellowship of Christian people in the Church, daily prayer and Scripture To Hugsburg iﬂlumni and friends Everywhere i1 Joyous {Christmas and I1 Blessed mew year! --- ﬂour ZExemiine Committee l reading, the Holy Sacrament where we become one with Christ and with Christians of all the ages, a simple inner yielding our hearts to God and His will. These "old paths” are sound and well-tried for the soul as are bread and meat, air and water, warmth and light, for the body. They bring us the very Bread of Life. They are ﬁlled with the calories and vitamins which build both mental and spiritual health. I am grateful for a thousand things that life has brought me, but for nothing as much as this that I have been privileged to come into touch with these elemental truths of the Christian Way. There are hundreds of others at Augsburg, too, who bear wit— ness to this same truth. Because the Christian facts can thus be tested out in the crucible of personal ex- perience, Christmas proclaims a great reality, not merely a beautiful ideal or a pleasant dream. The mes- sages of Christmas directs us to enduring founda— tions for life, foundations that hold no matter what storms may rage. ‘ Let me wish each one of the members of our Augsburg family, and in a special sccnse those who this year are "back home” from afar, a Christmastidc made happier because of a deepening understanding and experience of the full riches which the Christmas Gospel makes available to us all. —BERNHARD CHRISTENSEN.

Show moreThese Times Challenge the Christian College . . . and You Christianity is out of focus when it is on the de- fensive. The Christ who overcame the world set the right pattern for his followers—a pattern of ag- gression and victory over the forces of the devil, the world, and our own ﬂesh. We cannot say that Christianity today is aggres- sively militant——except perhaps in scattered instances, here and there. In some places in the world it has sunk to a mere struggle for existence. A chance to survive is the one desideratum. There is very little of challenge to anything or anyone. It is not come so far in America. Opportunity still knocks loudly on the door of the Church in an en- vironment of comparative friendliness.- How long it will last we do not know for there are menacing clouds on the horizon—especially for the Protestant Church. However, in our country, too, the Church of Christ has lost the initiative in many quarters. The oppor- tunities for spreading the Kingdom are not bought up. The time is unredeemed. Only eternity will re- veal the tragedies that have resulted from triﬂing with the opportunities we have had. In this article we dare to raise the question in re- gard to one area of "Kingdom Advance”—the Chris- tian College. Are we buying up the opportunity? Are we redeeming the time?—Perhaps a reappraisal of the challenge presented to us by the unparalleled opportunities of huge enrolments will help us face the question. Because of the huge inﬂux of students the Christian College today faces at least a two-fold challenge—to its purpose, and to its spirit. uHow many can we take?” Every faculty and ad— ministration has had to face that question. The prac- tically universal reply has been in action—the strain— ing of facilities and faculties, almost to the breaking point. There has been considerable sacriﬁce by ad- ministrators and teachers. Long hours at various tasks have been lengthened further still. At Augs- burg many classes have doubled and tripled in size. Dr. M. Helland’s class in Missions has 90 students. There are 40 in First Greek—And so on. Teachers’ loads have increased with very little complaining. Perhaps most of our workers have seen the vision that makes them willing to enter into the task, and gladly. For mounting enrolments are really an answer to prayer. Christians have been praying for more “workers.” And every additional student is an ac- tual or potential bearer of the Kingdom message, one who may become a mighty instrument for propagat- ing the Kingdom. And every one is needed, too. Christ died for the sins of the whole world. And how shall new areas be won for Christ without more workers? Therefore it is clear. These times challenge our pur- pose. We must strain ourselves to the utmost to ac- commodate as many as possible—buying up the op- portunities of the day for carrying out the world-wide aims of the Kingdom. And just as workers at Augs- burg are faced with this challenge, so too is the band of Christian people who stand behind our school. Not only in ﬁnancial support for current needs and adequate buildings——but also in prayer for the spiri- tual needs of students and teachers. Furthermore these times challenge our spirit. We have gotten used to the idea of strikes. They have seemed in some cases the only way by which de- sirable and just ends could be secured. V’e are not so much used to teacher strikes. But they are becom- ing commonplace in the public school systems. May- be in some cases they have been necessary too. For it’s an old custom, too, that of paying lavishly the people that make us laugh, but starving those who make us think. u v W Ultimately, though, we as Christians come to the fundamental question—In what spirit do we serve? What is our chief reward? Is it material or it is fun- damentally spiritual? The world loudly contends for its “share,” irregardless often of its owu pledged word. But the Christian places reward Second. Place or vocation come ﬁrst. “If God wants me there he’ll see me through.” Christ’s follower has learned that the cost of spiritual blessings has sometimes' been material deprivation. This is a hard saying for the worldly man, or the worldly-minded Christian. uYou can’t live on prom- ises,” he says, "or on Bible verses or good will." He does not believe much in "taking in another notch" when the belt loosens around the mid-section. Thank God for the men of God who have dem- onstrated a different spirit amongst us. (Here it is not our purpose to glorify any system of administration or Church ﬁnancing that beggarizes its servants. God Himself will judge also such systems and works in His time, likewise the stingy stewards who sat on their money bags and let their brothers in the work starve while they had enough and to spare.) But we do want to honor the testimony of men like Pro- fessor J. S. Melby and so many of the "old-timers” (Continued on page 8)

We were ﬂying at 7,000 feet altitude in a C-47 adapted to comfortable civilian use by the Indian National Airways. Be- low us through haze and clouds could be seen the lazv Ganges collecting its muddy waters from the green countryside of Bihar and Bengal. In an hour we were to arrive at the Dum-Dum airport outside of Calcutta and to be met by the vet- eran missionaries who would introduce us to the mysteries of the land and work to which we had been called. Up ahead sat an American movie representative and his wife, intent on bringing to India the most recent and appealing (but not the most uplifting!) movies from Hollywood, des- pite opposition from India movie houses and interests. Across the aisle sat a friend- ly young American businessman, intent on purchasing the best jute and hemp that India could provide. Behind sat two Mus- lims, intent on airing in their best English the political unrest and dissatisfactions of their group in India. Farther back sat a corsage-bedecked bride, eager to meet her husband-to-be, an oﬁcer with the British forces in India. All these knew why they had come to India, what they had to of- fer this strange and beautiful and mis- erable country. In their midst sat we, a Norwegian school teacher, an American housewife and teacher, two children, and an American doctor. What had we to bring? For what purpose were these wings carrying us over and into India? The authors of this article, Dr. and Mrs. Kristofer Hagen and their family ap- pear at the left, Rev. Bernhard Helland and family at the right also ﬂew to India after their daughter had recovered from polio. All four adults are Augsburg grad- uates. We had come a long way. Though we had left Minneapolis only ten days be- fore, had spent three days in New York, over one day in London, almost a whole day in Cairo, so hours in the air had put nearly 11,000 miles behind us. Rac- ing into the sun’s daily onward beat we had moved our watches ahead eleven and a half hours. During the six and a half hours over the north Atlantic between Newfoundland and Ireland we had raced at times 330 miles per hour far above the clouds at 9,000 feet altitude. The north- ern lights shone with a clarity that lifted us temporarily out of this world, put us in closer touch with the Eternal. It was exhilarating, sleep-robbing, a bit danger- ous, very challenging. What were these Must Become Feet" wings to deliver? What message did they bring to India? Ah, yes, there was the answer. The prophet Malachi had foretold it centuries ago. We were to bring the Sun of right-. eousness to India, the Son of God. as so many missionaries before us had valiantly And that Son of God would brine healing in his wings. Heal- labored to do. ing to the sick multitudes of India. There were over a hundred patients at the out- patient clinic in this country hospital today, despite the fact that the hospital has been publicized as closed to bed-pa- tients for over a year! The wings came down in Calcutta. Wings must come down and become feet if they are to heal this great open sore in the world. We were met by the Rev. Kristian Tromberg of Benagaria and the Rev. Victor Bagger of Saldoha who helped to make us feel at home in what must be the dirtiest city in the dirtiest country in the world. And now we are at historic Benagaria, living in a house remodelled out of Benagaria's ﬁrst Christian church. A great task confronts us. A great need looks to us. In ourselves we ﬁnd no an- swer. Pray that in and through our years here the Sun of righteousness may truly rise with healing in His wings! —KR1§TOFER AND BERTHA HAGEN AUGSBURG COLLEGE ARCHIVES

Austin Wold, (34—37) works for the Northwest Mountain Missions, which is "dedicated to the cause of vital evange- lism in the mountains and deserts of Ida- ho.” He and his family live at Donnelly, Idaho. A missionary librarian—that is the sta- tus of Constance Stennes, ’39, now in S. America. She was called into the service of the World Mission Prayer League. Her address: Apartado Nacional 53, Medellin, Columbia, S. A. Rev. L. O. Gierde, '33 and ’36, is the assistant executive director for. the Luth- eran Welfare Society of N. Dak. Head- quarters are at Fargo. . . Rev. Clarence Dyrud, ’41 and ’42, resigned the Gren- ville, S. D., parish of the L.F.C. to accept a call to Silvana, Washington. OH, THESE TIMES! How one man incorporates in his regular activities the functions of church. school, and the judi- ciary is being demonstrated by Pas- tor Kenneth A. Anderson, C. T. ’37, of Fortuna, N. D. Besides serving the LFC parish he "doubles" as principal of the high school, and “triples” as jus- tice of the peace——Oh yes, the former St. Luke’s boy from Min- neapolis still takes care of his home responsibilities—in spare moments. ‘ ‘ ﬁ There's a “triangle” too in the life of Luther Arnold, ’29, and his wife, the former Clarette Jorenby, '29. But it isn’t the "triangle" that so often develops these days. It’s interesting anyway. Mr. Arnold took a position last fall as head of the chemistry department at Wino— na State Teacher’s College. His wife has a contract to teach in St. Paul. So for living quarters they are es- tablished on Portland Avenue in Minneapolis. That makes the points of the triangle—Winona, St. Paul, and Minneapolis. Oh, yes, both of the Arnold's found time to attend the district rally at Mankato. Does that make them "quad (s)rangu- lars"? Five Augsburg Men Die A very well-known Augsburg graduate, Dr. C. M. Roan, ’04, died in September at the age of 68. Besides doing his medi- cal work Dr. Roan was very active in community activities in Minneapolis. He was a surgeon in World War I, a director of Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance Com- pany, the Union City Mission, Twin City Federal Savings and Loan Association, and co-founder of the Ebenezer Home for the Aged. He wrote several books on medical subjects. At his death he was a member of Central Lutheran Church. Among the survivors is a son Chester, who attended Augsburg, (24-27). # 1' :1- Rev. Peder Overlid, C. T. ’20, for many years a pastor in Canada died at his home in Elbow, Sask., Canada, on November 10, 1946. Before his ordination he served the Church as a lay—preacher over a period of 20 years. Mrs. A. H. Sevig, wife of . Pastor A. H. Sevig of Morris, is a surviving daughter. ’ i It Willard Steck, prominent Augsburg stu- dent who w0uld have graduated this year, died at Glen Lake Sanitorium early this fall. He was the second of the class of ’47 to die this year, Roger Simenson having passed away in early summer. ﬁ ¥ ‘ Theodore Hansen, ’09, of Grand Forks died suddenly on October 17. He was active in the work of Sharon (LFC) con- gregation, and as a trustee for Oak Grove Seminary of Fargo. At his death he was a junior high school principal in Grand Forks. ¥ Q " Rev. J. I. Fadum, C. T. ’02, of Cook. died in October at the age of 74. He spent the greater part of his ministry “on the range” in northern Minnesota.

Show moreAlumnus Sponsors Oratorical Contest The establishment of what may become an annual oratorical contest on the prin- ciples and ideals of Augsburg was the happy idea of a California alumnus. Preferring to remain anonymous this graduate presented $60 to the Greater Alumni Association, Sso of which was to make up the prizes for the 1946-1947 contest which will be open to all students in the College. Thus another indication of the mount- ing desire to "do something about it" was manifested. From a North Dakota town came also a sizeable check from an Alumnus for the same purpose—"Alumni Advance." Details of the oratorical contest have not been announced, but it will probably be carried out in cooperation with the speech department. Help Still Needed Even though the Augsburg enrolment is large these days your help is still needed greatly in the student solicitation pro- gram. For one thing, this situation is only a temporary one. For another we must per- severe in our eﬁorts to get and keep the most desirable type of student at Augs- burg. Quantity alone can never make up for quality. By "quality" as fat as prospective Auggies are concerned we mean ﬁrst of all the characteristic of sym— pathy with the spiritual purposes of Augs- burg. Next in importance is the intel- lectual factor, the ability to do good work at college. Every alumnus and friend of Augsburg should be on the alert constantly to direct such students to our school. Send their names to the Director of Public Relations at Augsburg. REMEMBER THAT PLEDGE! Now is the time to check up on your building fund pledge, if you have not paid it. About $14,000 of the Alumni total ($60,000 approx- imately) remains unpaid. Director Olaf Rogue reminded us recently that all pledges should be paid by June of 1947. These gifs, as well as new ones, may be deducted on 1946 income tax returns, if paid before January. About $18,000 must still be raised to reach the enlarged $300,- 000 goal set by the LFC for its building projects. No deﬁnite date for beginning construction on the Library-Science Hall has yet been set. Alumni Gather in Nine "Coast-to-Coast" Rallies "The more we get together, together, together; The more we get together The happier are we." Augsburg alumni and friends experi- enced again the truth of the little ditty quoted above, in nine district rallies this fall. From Washington, D. C., to Minot, North Dakota, the reports are pretty much in the same tone—good fellowship, enthusiasm, determination to "get going" on eﬁective district activity. Besides Minot and the Washington ral- lies, other gathering places have been: Duluth, Mankato, Bagley (Minn.), Chi- cago, Thief River Falls, Grand Forks, and Minneapolis. In practically all cases committees will be working on constitutions in the months intervening between the ﬁrst rally and the spring meeting. NOTES Chicago Auggies had a dinner meeting at the Lawson Y.M.C.A. Ofﬁcers elected are: Rev. Henry Peterson, Clayton Gjerde, and Belma Mikkelson. A visitor in the photography business acclaimed the his- torical ﬁlm as one of the best in the ﬁeld that he had seen. ‘ I ‘ Duluth area Augs went "hotelling" also, at The Lincoln. A steering commit- tee consisting of Else Bjornstad, Rev. D. W. Lyngdal, and Rev. Paul Sonnack will prepare a constitution. Mrs. Harry Moe (Ragnhild Larson) is the secretary. * '1- ’1- The Ladies' Aid of Pastor Luther Gron— seth’s Bagley congregation regaled the rallying Augs with a less-than-cost din- ner (we believe), and a neighboring E. L. C. pastor, Rev. Fred Sommers brought a projector to screen the films. Three pasrors—C. M. Iverson, C. M. Johnson, and L. C. Gronseth will be the steering committee. Bemidji will be the locale for the next gathering. I 1 #- Both the Grand Forks and Thief Riv- er areas had bad weather for their rallies on November 24 and November 22 res- pectively. The attendance suffered as a result. Congregation members from Pas- tor Monson’s church swelled the numbers there as the meeting was held in the church. Monson and P. Isaacson will plan the next meeting for about May 1. One alumnus, Wilhelm Hauge made a train trip to attend. At Thief River, “starter-upper" Erick- son (the Reverend Silas, of course) sur- mounted personal complications and im- pending wedding bells to get things plan- ned for a good meeting at the Rex Cafe. A car-load came from as far away as Hallock. From "farthest back" in point of time, was Martin Bothun (95-97) of Thief River Falls. After this meeting, the alumni sec- retary went with Pastor Carl Thompson (39-41) to his bachelor quarters at Vik- ing. Next day was spent in stalking the white-tails, but with no luck. It was Sat- urday—the last day of the season, for preachers at least. ’9 * Q Dr. and Mrs. Theodore Nydahl (Lucille Nilsen) did a good husband-wife job in arranging the Mankato rally in Bethel Lu— theran Church parlors. Dr. Arthur Nash represented Augsburg with pictures, grcct- ing, etc. Another husband-wife act will be carried out in the arrangements for next meeting. Kenneth Lower and wife Else (Lokkcn) will be host and hostess at St. James. ' i . At Minot a rally was held in Zion Church with Pastor and Mrs. Gudme- stad (Fern Hansen) host and hostess. Ar- rival of a young son failed to halt pro- ceedings. Pastor and Mrs. Luverne Nel- son came the longest distance. Gudme- stad, Selma Tiller, and Nelson will be the steering committee. Miss Tiller is superintendent of nurses at the Minot Hospital. * l' ¥ Washington, D. C., Auggies will meet in a U. S. Senator's apartment next spring. Legislator Alexander Wiley of Wisconsin is the inviter, after a good meeting Octo- ber 28 at the famed Lutheran Church of the Reformation served by Pastor Black- welder. Doris Hanson, John Nordberg, Eunice Knudsen, and Alf Harbo are of— ﬁcers. Eight Associate Members attended.

"The Annual Christmas program of the Augsburg Choirs could be presented to 15,000 next year instead of 1500 if adequate long-range planning and prepa- rations could be made by the proper auth- orities." That opinion sums up the feelings of a number who heard and saw the choirs in their 1946 presentation of the Christ- mas message at Trinity Church. The 1500 ﬁgure represents the approx- imate total that enjoyed this year's pro- gram December 7 and 8. Sunday night there was “standing room only” long be- fore beginning time. Even the choir loft was utilized for audience seating. The Choir under Director Opseth, and the Choral Club under Director Sateren thrilled the audience with their beautiful harmonies. Both organizations give prom- ise of rising to new heights during this school year. Iver SonnackI senior Seminarian is man- ager of the Choir for the 1946-47 season. Q it t One of the best bass sections in years —that is the consensus of many regard- ing the boys in the Choir who like to hob-nob with the low notes. They do rumble at times! I ' i The Choir appeared recently at Mar- shall High in Minneapolis. This spring it will visit a number of other city schools. This is a very eﬂective way to bring the message of Augsburg to prospective students. 3 I . The band is coming into its own un- der the capable direction of Leland Sa- teren. Regular rehearsals are supple- mented by a voluntary evening session on Thursdays. About ﬁfty members are in the organization. Twin-City Auggles Rally Stressing the important part that Twin City Alumni may play in promoting their school in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, President Bernhard Christensen urged all possible speed in the organizational plan- ning as he addressed the rally at Augs- burg December 7. That co-operation and assistance will be looked for was made more clear with the announcement that E. U. Berdahl, former acting secretary to the Civic and Commerce Association of Minneapolis has been engaged by Augsburg to do the pre- paratory work for a general ﬁnancial drive in the city of Minneapolis. Aim of the drive will be the securing of suﬁcient funds to ﬁll out the total needed for the Library-Science Hall (Construction costs have mounted 50-7; per cent since the original plans were drawn) and the addi- tion to Sivertsen Hall. The erection of these structures plus the addition of the government's 160x78 foot temporary phy- sical education building, will relieve great- ly the congestion of the present sky-roc- ketted enrolment. The steering committee for the Twin City District of the Greater Alumni As- sociation will be announced soon. 7 kEEP THIS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Home Games December 14 ........................ _...Luth¢r December 21 .......... ..Mankato Teacher!

Despite an ad- verse schedule which with general inex- perience of the squad resulted in the loss of ﬁve of six games the ﬁnal fracas, a victory over Macalaster, raised hopes for a more successful 1947 campaign. Only title-winning Gustavus really out-classed the Auggies very much. But the Swedes were terriﬁc this year. I‘ * ! Hamline and Gustavus are the odds- on favorites for the basketball title.

That means that the caliber of play will be much higher this year for Augsburg has four of its ﬁrst six men from last year returning. They are: Duane Lindren, Jeroy Carlson, Don- ald Sween, and Ernest Perry. Marvin Johnson of the 1944 team will round out the ﬁrst ﬁve. Promising freshmen pros- pects will ﬁll out a stronger-thamordi- nary squad. Chief deﬁciency will be lack of height.

Show moreThese Times Challenge . . . (Continued from page 2) who held fast through thick and thin in spite of meager material rewards, and quite often with but little of the plaudits of men. They were of a different spirit. Their purpose was not fundamentally to get, but to give. It was in the Spirit of Christ that they worked. A man who is now a prominent super- intendent of schools in Minnesota town told me how he sat one day in a locker- room at Augsburg. It was in the midst of the depression. He was on the verge of quitting school—no funds, no chance to get any. As he sat, dejected, head in hands, "Si" Melby came through the room. In a moment he had lowered his big frame to a sitting position alongside the student. One blacksmith-sized arm went around the drooping shoulders. "What’s the matter, son? Tell me about it,” said Melby. No one could refuse such kindliness, and soon the story was told. Then Melby talked, frankly and courageously, as Mel- by could. It did something to the young man. The sagging shoulders lifted. He was ready to face the situation again. Then came the "clincher." Unostenta- tiously Melby reached for his wallet. The young man hardly noticed it. But soon he had to, there was money in his hand— a ﬁve-dollar bill, which after all was quite a lot in those days. "Pay me back when you can," were Melby's words. My informant tried to tell me how much that incident meant to him. Words seemed inadequate. But there was a moist- ness in his eyes as he ﬁnished his story that said even more than words could tell. I understood. He had been on the "receiving end” of an act by a man who had both caught and lived in the Spirit of an aggressive Christianity that was rarely if ever on the defensive, one that could almost at all times see beyond its own needs to the broader vision of a world in need of Christ and Christliness. Such people answer the challenge of their age and every age. Just a word in closing. Call it a "chal- lenge" if you wish. Christian people have been praying for more prospective "full- time workers” for the Kingdom. Now they are here—a large number of them. But there is a long road ahead, for them —and all who work with them, to help in their preparation. Those who are immediately faced with the problems are meeting the challenge in large measure, we believe. They are making special sacriﬁces to meet the need. Will you, too, who are perhaps just a lit- tle further away from the center of ac- tion make some special sacriﬁce, in money, effort, time, etc. Or didn't we mean it entirely, when we prayed, "Lord send forth workers"? Let’s "carry through." ——N.C.A. Keeping Up With the Pedagogues Mrs. Stanley Hornar (Selma Slon'en, ’26) is at McIntosh, Minn. Henry Chapman, ’40, is at Proctor, Minn. Supt. L.

Anderson FEBRUARY I 946 AUGSBUBG BULLETIN "The Dawn Comes Not Twice. ..H The door to Christian service is open, and on the threshold stands a Man. It is the “Man of Sorrows Man who has seen the poverty and hunger of devasted continents, the Man who has seen the spiritual poverty of a money-glutted Amer— ica, the Man who has seen the wealth and the wisdom of the world used by men for the swift and cruel destruc- tion of their fellow-men. The Son of Man stands at an open door, the door which leads to tomorrow. Beyond lie the greatest opportunities for Christian service ever opened to a rising generation of young men and women. Through that door lies a new China, ready for the Gospel, ready to accept Chrisrian leaders in every walk of life, ready to be permeated with Christian power through the lives of young men and women willing to go out to live for others. Through that door lies a broad opportunity for Christian service in our country. The mark of the high calling in Christ Jesus is imprinted upon the heart of every man who unsparingly dedicates his life to the ministry of the Gospel. The transforma- tion of a thousand lives is a higher goal to be attained than the building of a city. Beyond that door lies "the uttermost.” The utter- most part, the uttermost need, the uttermost super- stition, the uttermost depth of a hungry soul. The cry of the human spirit for peace, for joy, for light, for eternal life, comes from "the uttermost” . . . from the brown man in Madagascar, from the orphaned child in our cities longing to be placed in a Christian and acquainted with grief”, the- home, from the Hindu villager before the idol in his temple, from the unreached millions of children in our own country who never hear God’s Word, from the sick and the suffering of the world, longing for the balm of Gilead. What is God’s call to the Christian men and wom— en of our colleges today? It is a call for Christian leadership throughout the world—leadership in the sense which Christ had in mind when He taught that he who would be greatest must be the servant of all. There comes to the students and graduates of the Christian colleges of our day an unparalleled demand for the offering of lives dedicated to the service of God and man. Today is that day of dedication. Today is that day of opportunity. It is characteristic of opportunity that it is ﬂeeting. Today it is yours, tomorrow it is lost. As the old Arab proverb expresses it, "The dawn comes not twice to awaken a man." Christ is calling for servants, the best He can get. Your Church is calling for leaders, the best it can get. The world is calling for men and women to go uto the uttermost”, to give the best that they have. "The dawn comes not twice. . . n —-BERNHARD A.

Show moreAUU:DUKG CLLLEGE ARCHIVES Notes of Progress As SEEN FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK Expanding Enrolment. The past few months have been a time of rapid readjustment at Augsburg. Our veterans from the Armed Services have been coming back from all parts of the world, and with the open- ing of the second semester next week we anticipate a further large increase in enrolment,—possibly as much as a 25% advance, bringing our total for the year close to 400. One by one our teaching staff has been returning too. The most recent of these are Dr. Nash, who ar- rived before Christmas, and Mr. Myrvik and Mr. Kildahl, who have just been discharged and will be- gin their teaching work the second semester. Mr. Pautz is still with the Navy but is stationed in Minne- apolis, and we are looking forward to his release in a short time. New Dean of the College. It is with a great deal of pleasure that we can announce the appointment of Dr. Arthur Nash to the position of Dean and Regis- trar of the College. He will take over his new duties February I. Dr. Nash was with the Army Air Forces for more than three years, spending the last year in India. His duties in the Army have been chieﬂy of an educational nature, too, and we shall therefore, dur- ing the period of post-war adjustment and extensive veterans’ education, have the beneﬁt also of this wide and varied experience on his part. Prof. Martin Quanbeck, who has rendered out- standing service as Dean and Registrar during the difﬁcult war years, as well as before that, will now be able to devote his time largely to the work in the Department of Education. One of the principal tasks of Augsburg is to train teachers, and we are glad that more adequate provision will now be made for the speciﬁcally professional aspects of this work. Mr. Quanbeck will also give a portion of his time to re- search concerning the various phases of Augsburg’s educational program. We anticipate from this re- search work valuable guidance in our program of continuing expansion. Building Fund Advances. The Victory Building Fund has moved steadily forward during the past year and a half, and we are now within "striking distance” of the goal originally set. Meanwhile the advance in building costs is causing us considerable concern. There has been an increase of at least 35%, so that if we are to erect the building as planned, we shall need a great many more thousands of dollars than indicated in the architect’s ﬁrst estimate. It will require united effort and continued giving on the part of us all to achieve our goal. The spirit of generous giving which has been revealed in this pro- ject has made it a rich spiritual experience as well as a vast forward step toward adequate material facili- ties. Post-war Improvements in South Minneapolis. During the past three or four years Augsburg has required a number of smaller pieces of property in the immediate vicinity of the main campus block, as steps in a process of gradual expansion of the cam- pus space. The "Number One Project” in the post- war improvement program of the city of Minne- apolis is the long-discussed Milwaukee Railroad grade 'separation. Actual work on this project will prob- ably begin early in 1947. Its completion will add immeasurably to the accessibility of the Riverside Park area of South Minneapolis, and, particularly if the parallel Inter-City Expressway is also carried through, it should do much toward improving the general appearance of this section of the city. Another Forward Step in Curriculum. The intro- duction of a new series of course in Business Adminis- tration in the college was approved by the Board of Trustees at its recent meeting. This addition to the curriculum will meet a long-felt want, and will no doubt also help materially to satisfy the educational needs of discharged veterans. In this and other areas Faculty committees are conducting continued studies having as their purpose the adjustment of Augsburg’s total program in accordance with the best education- al insights of today. It has been said that in the fall of 1946 higher edu- cation in America will face the greatest challenge it has ever known. Our ambition is that Augsburg shall, both then and in later years, play a worthy part in meeting that challenge. ——BERNHARD CHRISTENSEN ONE THOUSAND PER CENT Athletic teams with perfect records are sometime referred to as "1000 per cent teams.” Actually they have won just 100 per cent of their games. It took an Auggie og 1944-45 to demonstrate that 1000 per cent means really ten times as much. He pledged $5 to the Building Fund in the student drive. When the pay- ment came recently it was—you guessed it, $50. nun-L‘AL.‘ .In\ .W_ .‘m‘tmk; .k' :l 5 J. a. .1- A l, .n. rule“.

The new building will be L shaped, fronting arst Avenue. The Library part will be the short side of the L paralleling seventh street. When will it be built? As soon as 90 per cent of the cost is available in cash and bonds, and materials and labor are procurable. What is tbe Building Fund status now? When the former student drive mounts to the $75,000 goal we will be "over the top”. About $54,000 has been subscribed by former students of their $75,000 goal. The Lutheran Free Church committee for the drive is setting a new objective of $300,000 for their joint campaign (for Augsburg and Oak Grove). $250,000 will be Augsburg’s share. The grand total reached so far is $232,000. BOOK GIFT A gift of forty volumes of books was presented recently to the Augsburg Library by Emil Fossan ’3 0, who has been working with the United States Army Intelligence in Europe. Included in the collection are books pertaining to Sanskrit literature, Sanskrit poe- try in translation, Jewish history, French literature, and Latin literature. Several speciﬁc titles include: Schrader and Jevans, "Prehistoric Antiquities of the Argan Peoples”; Maimonides, “Guide for the Pet- plexed" translated from the Arabic by M. Friedland- er; Buhler, “The Indian Sect of the Jaines.” AUGGIE EDITOR VISITS EUROPE In his capacity as Editor of the Ansgar Lutheran, of the United Danish Lutheran Church, Rev. John M. Jensen, ’20, recently visited Denmark. He made the trip on behalf of his denomination to confer with church leaders there on postwar needs. He spent three weeks talking with men and women of all classes, pastors, bishops, and theological profes- sors. He said it was his impression that the Danish Church has not experienced any great revival during the war, but that pastors have become much more popular because of their part in the resistance move- ment and this has served to strengthen the Church’s position among the people.

Show moreMuch-travelled Aussie Writes oi Potsdam, Paris . . . Perhaps no other Augsburg servicee attended as many con- ference of "big-wigs” during the war as Louis Flom (39-40). Louis was fortunate enough to serve as a petty ofﬁcer on the secretarial staff of the higher-ups in Washington, and so came his golden opportunities. He has been good enough to supply the former-student-oﬁce with accounts of several of his travels. Here are some portions of a letter received recently: Nov. I, 1945 Dear Friend: I shamefully realize that this discourse summariz- ing what may appropriately be entitled "Flight to Berlin” has reached you at a date unduly late. Fur- thermore, I am in no position to offer a legitimate excuse for such obvious negligence. Therefore, I will presumptiously adhere to the saying "better late than .never” and continue, that is, if you will kindly bear with me. 3(- 3l- #- IN PARIS We continued walking—there were no cabs to hail, and to ride in the horse-driven carriages necessitated an expenditure of at least 500 francs (ten American dollars)—and because of the many distractions along the way, it wasn’t until much later that we abruptly realized we were totally lost. As a final alternative we attempted hitch-hiking, and in that endeavor, we were successful. A kindly looking man, who evi- dently sympathized with our obvious predicament, drove up in a highly polished French automobile and, in very well spoken English, insisted on taking us for a city-wide tour. Need I say, without hesitation, we gratefully accepted his hospitality. We soon learned that our driver was of Swiss descent, but more interesting was his companion, a 20-year-old Swiss youth who for three years had been a victim of atrocious treatment in the much publicized horror camp, Buchenwald. Thanks to the driver’s commendable ability as an interpreter, we learned from the Swiss lad that he was the sole sur- vivor of I25 people who had comprised one ward in said horror camp. The other 124 victims had died horrible deaths of torture and starvation. With hard- ly the strength to breathe, he had laid helplessly in the nauseating stench of wholesale murder for nine days before Allied rescue. He cited a number of in- cidents that occurred everywhere about him during his last days at Buchenwald which I won’t relate here because, I know from experience, they are stomach- turning tales. When we saw him several months after his rehabilitation, he was still a pitiful sight; his hair was gone; his face was drawn to the extent that his nose bones were almost puncturing his color- less skin, but yet he was happy. He had been spared life, with the vague possibility of regaining his health. Then and there, we realized, as never before, how fortunate we are never to have been the victims of such barbarism as that administered by the Nazi regime. ‘ AT POTSDAM We were quartered in, what was two months prior to the Conference, a spacious Nunnery. It would well compare with one of the ﬁnest sororities in the states, elaborately furnished, e. g., I had a great time alternating on the three grand pianos throughout the house during the stay there. The reason why these homes appeared as though they were untouched by the occupation troops was, because of the forthcom- ing Conference, the Russian forces in their initial oc- cupation of this section were ordered to leave the houses in their present state with the exception of literally throwing the Germans out of their respec— tive homes. Looting in their behalf was strictly for— hidden. This is a speciﬁc example bearing directly on "the Russian way of doing things” in regard to their sys-' tem of deiiberately evacuating the Germans from their homes. The Russians ordered a wealthy, mid- dle—aged woman to get out of her magniﬁcent man- sion in precisely ﬁfteen minutes, to leave things as they were with emphasis on the fact that she was never to return. Hastily, she went out in her mas- sive backyard and commenced digging a hole to bury her money and valuables in. Unfortunately, she hadn’t ﬁnished when the Russians returned. Without a word of ﬁnal warning they shot her in the back, kicked her in the hole she was digging and nonchal- antly covered her up. Little did she realize that she was preparing her own grave. Later, her neighbors returned and paid last rites to her by transplanting ﬂowers from her garden onto her grave. That was routine duty for the Russians. seas»:- Aside from the fact that serving as an ofﬁcial con- stituent of the historical Potsdam Conference and that seeing how the other half lives was truly an invaluable educational experience, I’ll] be thoroughly content if I can, hereafter, acquire my education within stateside boundaries. There is just no place like home. 7 7 Sincerely, Lows A WM“- “44.”. .e

Show moreThe Tide of Missions Rises The ﬁrst foreign missionary society among Scandinavian Lutherans in Amer- ica was formed at Augsburg, in 188;. The ﬁrst missionary sent to foreign shores was Rev. I’. Hogstad, a seminary graduate of 1887, who went to Madagascar. Down through the years scores of Augs- burg students have heard—and answered the call to mission endeavor, on foreign as well as home ﬁelds. It has not always been the same—the degree of mission in- terest. Sometimes it has been higher— ,sometimes lower.‘ Right now it seems to be rising, perhaps not alone because we see a number of people who are deﬁnitely entering mission work but especially be- cause in many sections of the Church there is a new spirit of prayer for more workers in all Christian work. This is the most hopeful sign, that people turn ﬁrst to God for the needed laborers. It ‘ * From time to time in recent weeks we have heard of former Auggies who are entering or re-en- tering mission work. Though there are perhaps many others about whom we did not hear, we will list those that we know. Missionaries Fred Ditmanson, ’15, and Arthur 8. Olson, ’12, have re— cently left for the L.F.C. ﬁeld in China. It " “ . Missionaries B. A. Helland, ’I8, Mrs. Helland, (Muriel Nelson, '15) and daugh- ter Claire Elaine will return to the Santal ﬁeld (India) probably in the summer. Evelyn Lovaas, ’40, left for Madagas— car in January. She goes to the N.L.C.A. ﬁeld. So too will Rev. Alton Halverson, '43, and Mrs. Alton Halverson, Lenore Garvue (39-41), in the near future. Raymond Bolstad, '34, with his wife and two children will go to Africa under the Augustana Mission. He will manage a printing establishment. Paul Ronning, '40, is studying French and Malagasi preparatory to going to the L.F.C. Madagascar ﬁeld. Rev. Erwin Chell, ‘41, is now on his way to India, under the auspices of the American Lutheran Church. Harold Richer (44-45) leaves soon for Santalistan, India. Rev. Stanley Wick (31-35), who has been at Mora, has accepted a call to a Presbyterian Mission in Latin America. NEW SCHOLARSHIP ESTABLISHED Future Augsburg Students from Sharon L.F.C. congregation of Lamberton will have a chance at a new scholarship estab— lished by the will of Celia Fredrickson, yo, recently deceased. Besides leaving generous sums for foreign and home mis— sion work she left $1,000 to her home congregation to be used for scholarships. It was her suggestion that the congrega- tion provide similar sums to those granted to prospective students from the $1,000 fund. Austin K. Wold (34-37) with his wife will join the staff of the Northwest Moun- tain Missions in the spring. This Mission "is dedicated to the cause of vital evan- gelism in the mountains and deserts of Idaho." Its headquarters are at McCall, Idaho. Rev. Theodore Mendenhall, ’43, of Westby, Montana, will go to South Amer- ica under the N.L.C.A. Rev. Donald Mosling (44-45) and Mrs. Donald Mosling (Agnes Mortensen, 40- 4I) have been granted visas for their trip to the U.L.C. Mission in India. Fran/t Wilcox (39-41) with a group of Lutheran World Vision Crusaders is in Darjeeling, Northern India, studying languages. Central Asia is the goal of these young people, among whom is also Ionathan Lindell (35-39). Florence Tyke- son (4I-4z), also a Crusader, is prepar- ing to go to Central Asia. Capt. Kristofer Hagen, ’29 will be home from Europe soon. After a brief time of preparation he and Mrs. Hagen (Bertha Iohansen, '28) with their two children will sail for India, probably some time during the summer. Dr. Hagen will do medical missionary work among the San- tals. NEEDED QUALIFIED VOLUNTEERS Practically all of the Lutheran Synods are interested in securing new workers for the mission ﬁelds. A survey sheet circulated recently by the Lutheran For~ eign Missions Conference showed a need of 95 workers on various ﬁelds. Men and women are needed as pastors and evan- gelists, as doctors and nurses. They are needed in educational work too. What are the qualiﬁcations? Here is a summary as given by the same mission agency named above. QUALIFICATIONS OF MISSIONARIES The best possible qualiﬁcations are need- ed for building new churches in other lands. Even the best will ﬁnd them- selves taxed by the requirements and pos— sibilities of foreign ﬁelds. Spiritual—A vital God-given ra- diant witnessing faith in Christ. An earnest zeal for’winning souls for Christ and building His Kingdom on earth. Needed by all—evangelis- tic workcrs, educators, doctors, nurses, agricultural workers. Educational—The best possible. : 8 full college course besides special required work in a specialized ﬁeld. Do not neglect education in the Bible and the systematic teachings of our Church. Physical—Robust health that can stand strict medical examination, physical sta- mina under strain, possibility of living without difficulty under varying condi- tions and with varying diets. Temperamental—Ability to work with and under others cheerfully. Future mis- sion work will require missionary to work to increasing degrees under native leader- ship. Tolerance toward the viewpoints of others is essential. Inﬁnite tact, cheer— ful disposition, a wholesome sense of hu- mor, resourcefulness, adaptability are needed to be successful. MISSION SOCIETY ELECTS Notable interest among student groups in the cause of missions has been instru— mental in the res—organization of the Augs- burg Mission Society. Oﬂicers for the year are: Donald Knox, Minneapolis, president; Gudrum Vik, Plentywood, Montana, vice- president; Grace Lundeen, Minneapolis. secretary; and Chester Trelstad, Zumbro- ta, treasurer.
