Show moreHome Economics Maiors Inaugurate New Course During Summer Months A new phase in the work of the Home Economics Department at Augsburg was inaugurated this sum- mer when Morton Hall became the center for the home management lab- oratory course under the supervision of Miss Ruth Segolson. head of the home economics department. One of the requirements for a major in home economics is that the students must live as a group in a situation which simulates as nearly as possible the home environment. Here they each gain experience in the various phases of home management. Morton Hall proved to be a very satisfactory “laboratory” for the five girls who are graduating this year and next with home economics maj- ors. They are Kathryn Thorsgaard and Mary Valtinson who will receive their degrees in August. and Harriet Haller. Celia Hanson, and Jean Swanson who will be seniors in the fall. The work of the house was divid- ed into five categories designated as manager, associate manager. meal manager. sEZCial assistant, and meal assistant. ch student had eight da s' experience in each of these fieids. Since most of the girls carried full time jobs away from the campus, their home making and record keep- ing was done during what would otherwise have been “leisure” hours. The weeks had social highlights also. In addition to two professional guests each week. a buffet sup r was served to twenty-one guests. T e girls also had a very delightful week-end at the home of Celia Hanson in Mt- kin. Minnesota. The girls all agree that it was a pleasantly varied six weeks' period which was most en- joyable.

PROFESSOR LARS LILLEHEI Bureau Reports High Demand for College Graduates 100'}? placement by August 1 is predicted by Marvin E. Trautwein, Director of Placement and Assistant Professor of Psychology and Educa- tion. All but four of the 1951 graduates seeking teaching positions have been placed, and one of the four remain- ing is subject to draft in August, so only three are still actively seeking positions. An especially high demand, which the Placement Bureau was unable to meet, was evidenced in Home Eco- nomics. Commercial, Library, and Girls Physical Education. Business Administration and Accounting grad- uates were also in short supply. A total of 79 Alumni registered with the Bureau, and 13 are still seek- ing positions. Of the total registered. however. some remained in their present positions. and 35 have se- cured new positions. All Commercial students (one. two. and four-year courses) were placed early in the Spring.

Show moreANOTHER NEW YEAR AT AUGSBURG DR. BERNHARD CHRISTENSEN For all the Colleges in America the past year brought special problems arising out of the Korean crisis. For Augsburg. too. it was a year of continuing adjustment, when not a little courage and faith were needed to carry through. These lines are being written after the close of the fiscal year. June 30: and while we have not yet re- ceived the auditor’s ﬁnal report. we know now that by careful united effort and through the many generous gifts received we were able, in spite of all difﬁculties, to achieve a nearly balanced budget for the year. For this we are deeply grateful both to God and to all who helped make it possible. As is already known, several of our faculty members will be doing graduate work this coming year. Some, too, have accepted other positions. and three are on leave of absence. A number of new appointments have been made to fill vacancies caused by resignation or as temporary replacements for teachers on leave. To date the follow- ing are the new faculty members: Dr. Helen Young Nelson—Assistant Professor of Home Economics. Mr. George Ecklund—Instructor in Business Admin- istration. Mr. Haakon Flottorp—lnstructor in Philosophy. Rev. F. O. M. Westby—Instructor in Sociology. Mr. Lloyd Jellum—Assistant Librarian. Arrangements are under way toward the appointment of a Director of the Band and a successor to Professor Lillehei as teacher of New Testament Greek. Rev. Paul C. Sonnack, who was on leave of absence last semester, will be back with us again. Professor Sateren. who took over the direction of the Augsburg College Choir after Professor Opseth’s death, has been appointed Head of the Music Department. We know that he will give fine leadership in that field, carry- ing on the high tradition established by Professor Opseth. The enrollment this fall will no doubt be somewhat less than a year ago, for quite a few of our boys have been called into the Armed Forces. Thus our campus life at Augsburg will be marked by several changes next year. (The whole life of the world seems to be passing through a time of transition in very many respects these days!) But these very changes summon all of us to a renewed and deepened devotion to the unchanging task of Chris- tian education: to lead young men and women into a deeper Christian faith and life, to help them “to see all things through the eyes of Christ,” and to prepare them for life-service to God and their fellow-men. We welcome each student. both the new and the “old”, to another year at Augsburg, a year of happy and chal- lenging fellowship and of keen adventure and exploration in the realms of Truth. The world today is calling, as perhaps never before, for men and women trained to think and to serve in the spirit of Christ. Let us gladly answer the call together now, in this new school year. BERNHARD CHRISTENSEN, President. BERTNESS NEW ALUMNI PREXY Henry J. Bertness (’47t was elected President of the Creater'Augsburg Alumni Association this year. Henry Bertness is an Instructor in Education at Augsburg and is also active as advisor to the Camera Club. Other ofﬁcers of the Alumni Executive Committee elected this spring are: Claire Strommen (’46), vice- president: Paul Roth 1’49), director; and Gerald Person 1’3Tl. director. Esther Aune and Lester Johnson will continue to serve on the Executive Committee. Marvin Gisvold, J. Vernon Jensen, and Lawrence Quanbeck are the retiring officers.

Show moreAug: Tackle Concordia In Homecoming Meet Homecoming 1950! A gain the wide variety of activities comprising this event will be climaxed by a foot- ball thriller. Although the gentlemen who coach the Auggies will ﬁnd it hard to promise a victory compar- able to the 194-9 shellacking of St. Mary‘s. their football bill of fare may provide a good deal of excite- ment. Head Coach Edor Nelson is look- ing forward to a close game in the Augs encounter with Concordia. Having started the season with eight of the 1949 guards and tackles ab- sent from the roster, Nelson and Line Coach Bob Bjorklund have been faced with a formidable problem in ﬁlling the gaping holes in the line. Then too, other losses have been sus- tained since practice sessions began. Bob Glockner, promising sophomore quarterback, and Don Allar, ﬁrst string tackle. lost out to their draft boards. Starting center Stan Benson sustained a knee injury which will sideline him for the season, while halfbacks Dick Howells and Clar- ence Framstad will be sidelined per- manently by conditions which they have developed. In conference games played so far this season, the Auggies have failed to show the doggedness that placed them on top of the conference in de- fense last year. Against both Gusta- \us and Hamline the outsized Augs found themselves plagued by speedy backs who found it especially worth- while to do their ground gaining around end. The explanation for this Auggie weakness is somewhat com- plex but can be chalked up mostly to inexperience and to our lack of size. Incidentally, the Augs lost to Gusta- Co-Captoins John Norton and Jim Kottom vus 33-0 and to Hamline 31-13. How- ever. since Gustavus is rated as the conference favorite and Hamline has been picked by many as a darkhorse, the Augs need not be discouraged. They have lost to better than aver- age teams and will ﬁnd most of their remaining schedule somewhat more even. The Homecoming game will ﬁnd the Auggies pitted against a team which has suffered similar setbacks in early season games. The Cobbers have lost to both St. Olaf and Gus tavus by healthy margins and should be no more than equal to the Aug- gies on November 4. NAME POS YEAR Dillon, Don .. .. .,. . .

Show moreWANTED II More Augsburg Children College graduates want more chil- ' dren, and they are having them. Augsburg College’s recent alumni are doing their share. During the past five years the Population Reference Bureau. a non- proﬁt organization of Washington, D. C. has conducted an annual sur- vey of the children of college gradu- ates. These national studies now show that the birth rates to the end of the ﬁrst ten years out of college have steadily increased for both men and women from the class of 1936 to the clue of 1940. Last winter Augsburg College cooperated with the Bureau in a survey to determine birth rates among the members of our class of 1940. Augsburg's alumni of the class of ’40 are off to a good start familywise. The men of '40 report 1.85 children apiece, but our alumnae of the class unfortunately lag with but .58 of a child each. Although these are both below the 2.1 children estimated as for replacement, it is evi- dent that in their remaining produc- tive years they can replace them- selves if they decide to do so. Happily, Augsburg's alumni are above the national average of 1.40 for the 171 colleges where the men of 1940 were reviewed, but our alum- nae compare most unfavorably with the 1.15 average for 173 classes of women of '40. ' Among the colleges where the .' alumni of the class of 1940 were j ' studied, Hillsdale College, Michigan - reported the most children, ayerag- ing ,2.31 apiece. Brigham Young alumnae of ’40 lead the women with 2.03 babies each. Augsburg alumni ' are the highest among those review- ed from Minnesota colleges. followed , 1) St. Olaf men with 1.67 and St. Z."- omas with 1.63. Gustavus Adol- phus men reported 1.49 babies "-epiece, and St. John‘s University _ men of ’40, 1.12. The alumnae from - Gustavus Adolphus average 1.35 chil- ' ~ dren each. while there are 1.28 per alumna from St. Olaf. Macalester '- teports 1.56 babies per alumnus and '; 1.29 per alumna. , . ' Augsburg’s class of 1925 was able to report only 1.50 children per ’ alumnus and 1.14 per alumna, a quarter century later. Falling below 2.1, the men are failing to replace themselves by 29 per cent and the women by 46 per cent. Not even the married grads of ’25 achieve replace- ment. The Bureau uses the survey as a barometer of America’s collegiate birth rate. As our abler people en- roll in colleges in increasing num- bers, the effect of the next genera- tion will be most unfortunate if they receive along with their diplomas the tradition of small families.

Show more1950 Homecoming Based on Theme: "Edify One Another" Romans 14:19. “Let us therefore [allow alter the things which make [or peace, and things wherewith one may edin another.” Surely in this year of war and distress, chaos and corruptive hatred the words chosen as the theme for Homecoming of 1950 are most time- ly and applicable for those who em- brace the wide circle of the Augsburg family. These are provoking and try- ing days and it seems easy to lose sight of the clear thin thread that binds us in the dusk of a contempo- rary world. But every year comes an occasion to strengthen that tie, and once again we urge you to join together at Augsburg’s Homecoming of 1950, to re-establish forgotten or misplaced fridships and settle into the days of warmth awaiting you here at Augsburg. Our doors are open, the campus is waiting. and our hand is extended with a friendly invitation for you to “come home" to experi- ence a weekend of reunion and gals activity from Wednesday, Novem- her I, through Sunday, November 5. Remember: CLASS of '28 REUNION Friday Evening, 5-7 P.M. The calendar of events is bulging with good things in store says Dave Bokke, Junior, who heads the Home- . coming Committee. He and his com- mittee members, Jan Nielsen, Delores Flea, Morris Johnson and Orv Ol- son, have been busy as the proverbial heaven with arrangements for both alumni and student functions. The students are moving out of their colorful lounge in Science Hall for the duration of Homecoming and it will become the official Alumni Headquarters. We urge you to come there immediately upon arriving on campus to meet your friends, scan the bulletin board for pertinent no- tices, or just plain relax, rest your feet and chat. The Alumni Registry will be down there at all times and please sign it, both for the record . and for posterity's sake. Things begin happening on Wed- nesday with the religious midweek service in the evening for students in the gym. This affair is usually a and all alumni able to attend. Activi- ties will be resumed on Thursday evening when the lovely Queen of Homecoming will be crowned in the gym. Immediately following the corona- tion all members of the Augsburg Fellowship Foundation are asked to meet in the chapel to vote on consti- tutional changes recommended at the annual meeting of the Alumni Asso- ciation. Several additional changes worked out by the Executive Com- mittee are also to be voted on. Then it’s open house in all the dormitories and refreshments in the dining hall. At 9:00 you’ll have a chance to re- call Auggie yells at the Pepfest and Bonﬁre in Riverside Park. The big Homecoming Chapel serv- ice in Trinity Church on Friday morning features Judge Luther Slet- ten from Minneapolis and his special address; Sheldon Torgerson will lead in devotions and Association Chair- man Lawrence Quanbeck will re- spond to the greeting by student prexy Stan Toussaint. Friday evening is Reunion Time for the Class of ’28 and the Class of ’45, and we oﬁer a hearty greeting to the members of those classes and a very special invitation to be at the Buffet Dinner in the dining hall from 5 to 7 P.M. where you can meet your classmates—and talk and talk and talk. The Buﬂet Dinner, however, is open to everyone who wants to come and before you eat, or after, you can drift over to the Science auditorium to see movies on Augsburg or browse in the Archive display, which inci- dentally will be open all weekend. Later on Friday evening a strictly Auggie Talent Show will be offered Remember: CHORAL REUNION LUNCHEON Saturday, 12:30 P.M.- in Dining Hall riot of fun. Saturday is football day and gets off to a rousing start with the festive and colorful Homecoming Parade in the morning, which has part of its route down Nicollet Avenue in down- town Minneapolis. At 12230 is the Choral Reunion Luncheon, and in the afternoon you have your choice of listening to the Minnesota-Michi- gan game in the student lounge, or seeing the Notre Dame game on tele- vision in the Science auditorium. Saturday afternoon is also coffee time, and that delicious brew will be served in the Home Ec depart- ment anytime your throat gets dry. There is also a special coffee fest planned for directly after chapel on Friday morning. and one after the Parade on Saturday moming—so drop in, won't you? And of course Saturday evening at 8 o'clock sharp comes the struggle between Augsburg and her Home- coming foe, the Concordia Cobbers Remember: CLASS of ’45 REUNION Friday Evening, 5-7 P.M. from Moorhead. That night Nicollet Ball Park will really ring with the Homecoming slogan, "Atom, Aug- gies!” The Homecoming worship service Sunday morning is once again being held at Trinity Church with Rev. C. A. Larson, president of Oak Grove, delivering the message. And Sunday afternoon is always reserved for the grand climax of a proﬁtable week- end. the annual Homecoming Choral Concert in Trinity featuring the voic- es of the Choir and the Choral Club. After a final few words with de- parting friends after the concert. the final session of Homecoming will be adjourned for another year. We will see you? MD. 5. AUustKG ccurca ARCHIV“

Show moreWELCOME HOME! Dr. Christensen A warm and cordial welcome to every alumnus re- turning for Homecoming 1950! Augsburg’s chief riches, besides the riches of the Gospel Itself, is in her sons and daughters whose lives exemplify and transmit her spirit in the world beyond the campus. Welcome home! once again, for a renewal of “the tie that binds” us into one Augsburg Family. June 18, 1950, the Day of Dedication for Science Hall, marked an important milestone in Augsburg’s his- tory. For several years past our efforts had been centered in planning and making possible the erection of this unit. of such vital importance to our work as a school. Dr. Bernhard Christensen Including the offering taken on Dedication Day, the actual cost of the building itself is practically paid, though there remains an indebtedness of about $100,000 covering the cost of the equipment and furnishings. But now both the appearance of our campus and our facilities for work have been transformed, and in that transformation our alumni have had a large and worthy part. As the years move forward and our alumni circle widens, it is a wonderful experience to sense the strength of support that comes to -us here on the campus from this larger fellowship. Now, as our country probably faces a new time of testing in a troubled world, and the colleges are called upon to bear their part again as they have done in the past, it is especially heartening to have our Augsburg alumni leadership giving strong and en- thusiastic new emphasis to its work through the Augs- burg Foundation. The Foundation (the simpliﬁed name is a real forward step, too!) bears within itself, I am convinced, vast possibilities for effective cooperation among our Augsburg alumni and friends in the cause which we all love. And in due season the things that have been well begun at our College and Seminary will ﬁnd added expression in the form of both buildings and educational service. Is there anything ﬁner in life than to have a part in an organization or movement which is both spiritually creative and growing with the years? So we say “Welcome Home” once more, we invite you both to rejoice in past achievements at our Alma Mater, and to dream of others to come! r Theme: “Edify One Another" WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER I 5:00-7:00 P.M.

Show moreINTRODUCING... ROLF T. HARBO The Federal Bureau of Investigation is a division of national government of which Americans are justly proud. A key ﬁgure in the administration of the Bureau has been its assistant director (since 1946) Rolf T. Harbo, a warm understanding man whose varied ex- perience has groomed him for this important position. Rolf entered duty as a Special Agent for the FBI in 1932 when young lawyers were numerous and strug‘ gling. Since then he has participated in cases of nation- wide interest, his work taking him to every state. Hawaii and Puerto Rico. He has served as director of the Crime Detection Laboratory, as the personal represen' tative of the director, J. Edgar Hoover. and personally conducts investigations of a highly conﬁdential nature. Early in 1954 he was given administrative supervi' sion over the Training and Inspection Division, where his educational background and experience (Minne- sota and North Dakota public schools 192129) will be valuable in training Bureau personnel, and law'enforce- ment ofﬁcers from all parts of the nation. Born in Duluth, Rolf began at ﬁve the ﬁrst of ﬁfteen years on the Augsburg campus where his father was professor of Systematic Theology. Between 190‘) and 1931 at least one and sometimes as many as four of the seven Harho boys were enrolled at the Academy or College. In a family of nine children there was little time for idlene5s, hence before he was ten he began a succession of jobs selling papers, running errands, cad- dying, engagements playing the trumpet, harvesting. During the school year he was active in music, athletics, Echo editor and Augsburgian staff, and walked off with class honors as valedictorian in 1922. After more than 21 years in the FBI, Rolf says that a lucrative law practice could never have given him the personal satisfaction he has received from working under the dynamic leadership of Mr. Hoover, whose Christian dedication to God, country and duty have been a continuing inspiration. A gleam comes into his eyes at the mention garden- ing and motor mechanics, and his interest in music and athletics have grown through the years. He is a mem- ber of the International Association of Chiefs of Police. Phi Delta Kappa, Phi Alpha Delta, the Lutheran Church and the Masonic Order.

The present company of which he i: president. Sverdrup and Parcel. Inc, St Louis. Mo. is an outgrowth of this partnership. When World “’ar II broke out.

Show moreOPSETH MEMORIAL CONCERT The annual Twin City concert of the Augsburg College Choir sched' uled for Sunday, February 28th at 4:00 PM. at Central Lutheran Church, will be dedicated to the founder and ﬁrst director of that group, Professor Henry P. Opseth. Concert repertoire of the group of 56 choristers directed by Leland B. Sateren will feature some of the favorite choral selections of the late Professor Opseth. Professor Opseth, who served as head of the Department of Music at Augsburg College from 1922 to 1951 founded the Augsburg College Choir in 1933 in the merger of the men's glee club and the girls‘ chorus. From its beginnings, concert pro grams of the choir have featured the interpretation of traditional and con! temporary sacred choral music. Throughout 'the more than two dec' ades of its existence the choir has appeared regularly in concert in communities throughout the Upper Midwest and the East and West Coasts. In addition, the choir is seasonally selected for major radio network appearances. Proceeds of the Opseth Memorial Concert will be used to perpetuate the Henry P. Opseth Memorial Scholarship established in 1953 by the Henry F. Opseth family. Ac! cording to the provisions of the scholarship a sum of $100.00 will be presented annually to an Augs' burg sophomore or junior who has been selected according to the terms of the scholarship. Selection will be made on the basis of: a) Outstand- ing promise or achievement in the ﬁeld of music (theoretical or ap‘ plied) at Augsburg College, b) The intent of the recipient to make music his major ﬁeld of study at Augs' burg, c) General academic scholar- ship, d) Character. Curtis Ander' son, Bruno, Minnesota, a sophomore at Augsburg College, was selected as recipient of the initial scholarship of $100.00, a presentation by Mrs. Henry P. Opseth. The Opseth Memorial Concert is being sponsored by members of the Augsburg choral alumni group. Co! chairmen are Mr. Ray Bodin, 4429 17th Avenue South, Minneapolis, and Mr. Kenneth Sorenson, 4848 34th Avenue South, Minneapolis. Admission will be by general ad! mission and patron tickets. The choir returned to the Augsburg Campus February 7th following a two'week tour throughout Minnesota, North Dakota and Wisconsin. WASHINGTON, D. C., ALUMNI CLUB On Friday night, January 8, 1954, the Augsburg Alumni Association of Washington, D. 0., met in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Irving Mann ger, 810 Chalfonte Driven Alexan' dria, Va. After an opening prayer by John Nordberg, President Emil Fossan eX' tended a welcome to Mr. Clair Strommen. In a short talk Mr. Strommen discussed the growth of Augsburg and plans for its future, emphasizing the importance of viv tally interested alumni. He then showed the ﬁne new ﬁlm of the school and its activities. A pleasant social hour followed with a delicious lunch served by the hostess. Members and associates present at the meeting were: Mr. and Mrs. Irving Manger (hosts); Clair Strom' men, Mr. and Mrs. Sylvan Bestul, Glendora Dueland, Emil Fossan, Anr ker Harbo, Mr. and Mrs. Rolf Harv b0, Mrs. Anna Larson, Mr. and Mrs. John Nordberg, Beatrice Syd, nes. CHICAGO ALUMNI CLUB On January 3, 1954, the alumni and friends of Augsburg met in the Oriole Room of the Y.M.C.A. Hotel. Some thirty were there to see the new Augsburg ﬁlm, “Augsburg To day" and to hear records of the Augsburg Concert Band. Rev. David Boxrud was elected President of the Chicago chapter. Miss Delores Flaa, Mrs. W. Lang, haug and Mr. Henry Manger were chosen to coordinate the Augsburg alumni library campaign in the Chi' cago area. Betty Manger ‘53, Sec. Rev. David E. Bergstrom ‘38, who has been a pastor in the First Evan! gelical Covenant Church at Superior, Wisconsin, died January 28, 1954 He is survived by his wife, Helen, and three children, Paul, Mary, and Susan. FROM THE ALUMNI DESK I had a most enjoyable visit with the alumni in the Chicago, New York and Washington, D. C., areas, last month. The most interesting fact to me was that Augsburg peo' ple are in many varying positions and doing well. The FBI, Importr ing of steel, Federal Bureau of Com— munications, Army, Translating of languages for State Dept., Naval Observatory, Teaching, Ministry, Chemical Research, Insurance Busi— ness, Home Economics, and Music are a few of the varying types of vocations represented. O In our December 31 report I not ticed that $27,000.00 was contrib' uted in the Advance campaign by alumni and so far in our general campaign we have $34,000. This represents a good sum but the to' tal contributors of this $61,000 are only 612 alumni of 2400 solicited so far. This is not good. We can‘t all give hundreds, but we can all give some. If nothing else, the Bulletin should be worth several dollars a year. IN MEMORIAM We regret that we omitted the news of the passing of Miss Ragna Sverdrup in our last bulletin. Miss Ragna Sverdrup, 68, passed away September 27, 1953. Funeral services were held September 30 at Trinity Lutheran Church. Miss Sverdrup served as treasurer of Augsburg College from 1902 um til the time of her retirement in 1949. Following her retirement she continued her services in the treas' urer’s ofﬁce until the time of her recent illness and death. Miss Sverdrup was the daughter of the late Professor Georg Sver' drup and a sister of the late Dr. George Sverdrup, each of whom served as president of Augsburg College and Seminary for a com— bined term of ﬁfty years. Miss Sverdrup participated in nu! merous activities of Augsburg Col‘ lege and the Lutheran Free Church. A graduate of the Minneapolis Con— servatory of Music, she was an in' structor in piano for many years in conjunction with her duties at Augs' burg. s A'JL.."_ d
