Show morePacific Lodge Boys’ Home Phillip C. Morgan Across from my desk sits a mother with tearrﬁlled eyes—her boy, age 13, has been expelled from school and is in trouble with the police be- cause of stealing in the neighbor hood. Upon questioning her, I ﬁnd that she is divorced, has been re” married. and that the stepfather has not accepted this boy in the home. She feels that if he were away from the home, he would eventually act cept the new parent and that time will heal everything. Most of our boys have essentially the same pat’ tern: broken homesirejecting par— ents. Lack of love and understand' ing by parents is the primary reason for boys and girls in trouble today. A solid. Christian family, who plan most of their activity around the home and who try to understand the problems of youth today and meet it with love, kindness, and understanding, have the key to suc‘ cess with their children. 10 years of working with delinquent and pre‘ delinquent children have convinced me more than ever of the need for “home solidarity," Christian center» ed, with the church as the "rock." Church centered activity with "dad" and "mom" participating is the an, swer to security for youngsters. With this preface. I will tell you about PaCific Lodge Boys~ Home. Located in the beautiful foothills of the Santa Monica mountains in the west end of the fabulous San Fer' nando Valley in Woodland Hills, California, we occupy 42 rolling acres. At present, we care for 65 boys on a 24‘hour basis, most of whom are wards of the Juvenile Court of Los Angeles County. Placed here because of unfavorable home situations, Paciﬁc Lodge offers a home where love and kindness perr sists. It is a substitute home, but boys are shown that someone cares for them. Our cottages of Spanish architecture offer a “homey” atmOS’ phere. Our staff of 18 all have the same desire—that of helping boys— showing them that “someone” cares for them! Our physical plant consists of 3 cottages. each housing 22 boys. Live ing with them are a housemother and boys‘ counselor who plan their lives. The housemother looks after their material needsﬁclothing, etc, and the boys' counselor after their other interests athletics and play—— “a real dad’s job," I call it; trips to the beach, the mountains, and other things a real dad should do. A small gym, a ﬁne swimimng pool, and huge athletic field round out our physical plant along with a ﬁne recreation hall. Of course, we have a spacious dining room where good food is a “must.” Our small farm produces all our milk with a modern dairy. One of our program features is our “4+1” Club. Case work service is supplied by our trained case worker. Counseling with the boys and their parents most often leads to complete rehabilitar tion. Chapel service every Sunday morning with Sunday School follow- ing is an important part of our life at Paciﬁc Lodge. The church with all of its rami~ ﬁcations should survey the ﬁeld of child welfare and endeavor to help these unfortunate youngsters and to tell parents that one of their chief duties is to spend time with their families to give them the security which they need so desperately. QUANBECK RESIGNS The resignation of L a w r e n c e Quanbeck ‘47, as Director of Ad! missions at Augsburg College, has been announced by President Chris! tensen. Beginning in March Quan' beck will be working as a director for Wells Organizations, a Chicago ﬁrm, specializing in fund raising for churches.

Mayo Savold, director of the Augs- burg College Choral Club and the Augsburg College Band. recently qualiﬁed for a second time to have his biography included in THE IN‘ TERNATIONAL WHO'S WHO IN MUSIC, an honorary society for out- standing musicians.

From Madison, Wis., Alexius Bass of the Capital Times writes, “In this day of gross materialism, cheap pop- ular trash which poses under the name of music, and fourth-rate tele~ vision vaudeville, it is refreshing and hope-inspiring to know that there are institutions like Augsburg College where the cultivation of genuine mu- . a - - - 99 sic is a major actwnty.

A Tribute When I read in the Augsburg Bul- letin for May that Professor P. A. Sveeggen was retiring from the fac- ulty, it brought back to me many pleasant memories of my close asso- ciation with him since 1915. He was my professor in English in my senior year. Since then I al- ways visit with him whenevcr I come to the Augsburg campus and many times I have been a guest in the gracious home of Professor and Mrs. Sveeggen. Professor Sveeggen gave unstint- ingly of his time and efforts to Augs- burg students. He stressed the impor- tance of correct English along with the high idealism and Christian prin- ciples that he always emphasized. All who have been in his classes have been enriched by his teachings. His idealism was contagious. He pointed out the beautiful and worth- while in literature and in daily liv- ing. He left a mark on his students that inspired them throughout life. Mrs. Sveeggen provided a gracious- ness, charm, and kindly atmosphere in her home so that it was a delight to be a guest there. She was always friendly and interested in what the students and graduates were doing. The Sveeggens have made a con- tribution to Augsburg that will be remembered with gratitude by the thousands of students whose lives are richer and fuller because of having known them. As we think of Professor Sveeg- gen and the other outstanding pro- fessors that have guided the youth at Augsburg, we can truly say: “There were giants in the earth in those days.” OSCAR MYKING MEHUS, ’16. Spiritual Emphasis March 2-6 The Reverend Conrad Thompson, Director of Evangelism in the Evan- gelical Lutheran Church, is the speak- er for Spiritual Emphasis Week at Augsburg beginning March 2.

Show moreAUGSBURG ALUMNI Under the direction of Miss Alma M. Jensen, the de artment of sociol- ogy at Augsburg as been cooperat- ing with the Population Reference Bureau, a non-profit organization of Washin on, D. C., in an annual sur- vey of a birth rates of college grad— uates. These studies now show that the birth rates of both men and wom- en college graduates have steadily in- creased without any exception from the class of 1936 to the class of 1940. The “College Study” which is un— der the direction of Dr. Clarence .l. Gamble and Mrs. Betty U. Kibbee, shows that men graduates of the class of 1940 who are now celebrating their tenth annual college reunion can boast of families 37 per cent larger than could their brother grad- uates of the class of 1936 when they celebrated their tenth reunion. The increase of size of family among women graduates for the class of 1940 was 21 per cent over their sis- ters in 1936. These figures are in a reement with a re rt published by the Bureau of the gnsus in 1948 which showed that between 1940 and 1947 the repro- ductive rate of women college grad- uates increased 81 per cent, com- pared to an increase of 52 per cent for high school graduates and 28 r cent for grade school graduates. While the percentage increases in the birth rates of college graduates in the two types of studies are not en- tirely comparable, both studies are in agreement and indicate a very sub- stantial increase in the birth rates of colic graduates during the last ten to fi een years. However. these recent studies should not be interpreted as meaning that college graduates are now hav- ing lar er families than their less educa sisters. As late as 1947 wom- en with only a grade school educa- tion had reproduction rates 48 to 78 per cent higher than needed for re- placement while college graduates fell 5 per cent 'short of reproducing themselves. Five years of study of the classes of 1936 through 1940 ten years after graduation, covering 925 college classes, reveal an average of 1.29 children per alumna. The review of the class of 1940 which has COOPERATE IN' COLLEGE "STORK STUDY" just been completed found the alumni from Hillsdale College, Mich- igan, with an average of 2.31 children each the winners among the men. Utah's tradition of large families showed itself again through the slum- nae of Brigham Young University who averaged 2:03 babies. the hi h- est among the women of 1940. The Bureau finds that the birth rate is considerably higher among graduates of co-educational and western col- leges. Western and midwestern col- leges maintain relatively higher rates than the more urban eastern institu- tions. Strikingly small in contrast are the families of most eastern and southern colleges. 1n the survey conducted by Miss Jensen, the Augsburg classes of 1928 and 1943 were polled. 1n the forms that follow it is evident that the grad- uates of Augsburg show the same general trend in increase of birth rate as is indicated in the national survey.

Show more,4 Emu on W ﬂcmdc'tcm'an By DR. MARTIN QUANBECK Dean 0/ the College Dr. Martin Quanbeck Those who are interested in Augsburg and her prog- ress naturally want to see their college accredited. Ac- creditation is of various types. ln some states the de- partment of education does not have such a function, but it does approve colleges for the educating of teach- ers, issuing certiﬁcates to the graduates of these approved institutions when these students have completed the courses required by the institutions. Augsburg has long enjoyed such accreditation. A second type of accreditation is the recognition of work done by students in the college by other institu- tions. This appears in particular in the evaluation of these credits when students transfer. The attitude of the state university is usually especially important. Colleges and universities in other states tend to treat students from smaller colleges—particularly those lacking accreditation by regional associations—as they are treated by the state university. Augsburg has for many years been able to send its students and graduates to the University of Minnesota without any loss of credit in courses appropriate to the ﬁeld to which they transfer. Until last year, however, grad- uates were not automatically accepted by the university graduate school unless they had maintained a B aver- age at Augsburg. Last year the university accorded Augsburg the same full recognition granted the other colleges in the state. Because of the favorable attitude of the University of Minnesota, credits of Augsburg stu- dents and graduates have generally been freely accepted by universities and colleges in other states. Usually it has been sufficient to call to the attention of those insti- tutions the attitude of the University of Minnesota. A third type of accreditation, regarded as most de- sirable because it is so generally accepted by all insti- tutions and agencies as the mark of quality, is member- ship in a regional accrediting association. In this area this organization is the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, an association with high standards for membership. Because of certain limitations, particularly in buildings and equipment, Augsburg did not apply for membership in this association until the fall of 1949. The following spring, after the stall at Augsburg had provided a great amount of information about the institution and after a visit by an examining committee, the application was rejected. It makes little difference that the margin of rejection was small. The report of the committee revealed a number of weaknesses, many of which the Augsburg faculty and administration had already recognized. All of them served as the basis for study and improvement. These included library facilities and use, faculty training and experience, faculty salaries, certain records and reports, aids to faculty growth. health and some other personnel services. The Augsburg staff worked for two years, mak- ing considerable improvements in all these and some other areas, with the intention of re-applying this fall, but, during the past year the North Central Association made an important change in its method of evaluation which makes necessary a comprehensive self-survey of the institution prior to the filing of an application for membership. The effect for Augsburg is to delay the application for another year. The survey, begun this fall, is being carried out by the faculty organized into thir- teen committees and touches all functions and services of the college. The study is to be completed this spring and, if accepted, will permit a new application in the fall of 1953. Action by the North Central’s Board of Review will then take place in March, 1954.

Show moreProposal for Partnership (Cont) The M i n n e s o t 8 colleges have worked out a plan whereby the presi- dents of the 14 institutions involved provide not only what might be termed an executive committee but also the actual functioning organiza- tion. In groups of two they have vis- ited the executives of the industries assigned to them and have explained how the independent colleges are forced to look beyond the usual sources of ﬁnancial support which no longer can carry the whole load if the colleges are to continue to pro- vide opportunities comparable to thOse offered in the past. The Minnesota Association is seek- ing 3.250.000.00 this year. Funds col- lected which are not designated for any individual college are divided as follows: 50 per cent equally among all the colleges and the remaining 50 per cent proportionately on a stuv dent population basis. All of the colleges in Minnesota not supported by taxes are a part of this cooperative effort. This cam- paign is the ﬁrst in which all private colleges in any state have united in a fund campaign. The fourteen institu- tions making up the new Minnesota ' C(‘llege Fund Association are: Augs- burg. Carleton. Concordia, Gustavus Adolphus. Hamline. Macalester. St. Benedict’s. St. Catherine’s. St. John’s. St. Marys, St. Olaf. St. Scholastica. St. Teresa. and St. Thomas. Much success is not only hoped for but anticipated in these joint money-raising programs. Leaders of business and industry are in a posi- tion to show real foresight and vi- sion by helping to keep these private institutions strong and independent, thus relieving the burden of a heav- ier taxation and preserving the Amer- ican ideal of freedom. (This article was rewritten from “Partnerships for Producing Money” by Kenyon S. Campbell, Ohio State University, published in the ACC News, January, 1952.) A. Q. ANSWERS l. The G.A.A. is the Greater Alum- ni Association of Augsburg College and Theological Seminary. Ilt’s the short form of G.A.A.A.C.T.S.!l 2. You are if you were ever en- rolled as a student at Augsburg whether you graduated or not. If you never attended Augsburg you can become an honorary member. 3. The G.A.A. is the connecting link between the college and the many who are no longer in the stu- dent body “to promote the interests of Augsburg and to establish mutu- 71lly" ben‘eﬁ'c‘l'al' ’relatioi‘is‘ between the school and its alumni”. 4. The executive committee is made up of a president, vice presi- dent, secretary. treasurer. and two directors. The following alumni hold these respective offices: Henry Bert- ness. ’47; Clair Strommen. ’46: Esther Anne, ’41; Lester Johnson, ’39; Gerald Person, ’39; and Paul Roth, ’49. The alumni secretary and the director of public relations at- tend all meetings upon invitation of the committee. 5. The first Thursday of every month. The January, April, and 0c- tober meetings are held together with the General Committee of the Augs- burg Foundation. 6. Such business as the need for simplifying our addressing system, ways of improving the Bulletin, plans for the Foundation campaign, the Homecoming smorgasbord, etc. 7. The Annual Meeting is held during Commencement Week usually in form of a banquet. 8. The Foundation is the ﬁnancial arm of the G.A.A.—and its biggest headache. (Please don’t forget the 5510.000 goal.) The organization of area clubs, the publishing of the Bul- letin, Homecoming Reunions, and the spring banquet are its biggest projects. 9. Nothing—but! We are hoping that every one of you will become members of the Augsburg Founda- tion at the rate of $10.00 a year or 83'173‘cems' per-month. -- r 10.

Here’s the story of the winter activities of one football coach when the shoulder pads and helmets are tucked away for the season. For Augsburg Football Coach Edor Nelson it’s a matter of turning his thoughts from the gridiron to the basketball court. Edor demonstrates his coaching versatility by coaching the Augsburg "B" squad throughout the winter. The record of the "Bombers" shows three wins and two losses for the season. Edor states that there are a number of men on his squad who will probably see varsity action in their sophomore and iunior years at Augsburg. Individuals who have s arked the "Bomber" cause this season and are expected to see varsity action next season inclu e: Robert Larson, 5’ ll“ freshman from Moorhead, Minnesota and a graduate of Oak Grove Seminary; Bruce Leonard, 6’ 4" freshman center from Minneapolis Miller Vocational High School; Johann Swensen, freshman forward, a graduate of Owatonna High School; Don Eveland, freshman forward from Backus, Minnesota; and Phillip Gronseth, 5' ll” freshman guard from Minneapolis Washburn. Edor Nelson states that the purpose of the "B" squad is to prepare players for varsity action and points out that four of his last year‘s "Bomber" charges are regulars on this year’s varsity squad. A PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE LESLIE F. BRANDT Acts 20:24—“But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may accomplish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to tes- tify to the gospel of the grace of God.” What a philosophy! According to Paul, the value of life consisted not in the things a man possesses, or in how much one can get for himself, but in the degree that God’s purpose can be accomplished through it. It was with this philosophy that Paul met every crisis and difficult circum- stance that came his way. Even though it meant false accusations, beatings, imprisonment, and even death, he found such a philosophy to be adequate. What a contrast to the shoddy, shabby, insipid display that masquer- ades under the name of Christianity in our land today! In other lands men meet the crisis with a testimony, a vision, with conviction and cour- age, with the true Spirit of Christ. Thousands are dying faithful to the Name and to their witness of Christ Jesus. But comfortable, fun-loving America has apparently produced no crisis to prove the mettle of modern man. The hour of crisis may well come to our land as well. We had better check on our philosophy of life; is it adequate? Unless it is of the caliber of that manifested by Paul, it will vanish life chaff in a great wind. The moment a man dedicates his life to the service of the King, and puts himself under the control of Christ, then no matter what the hour of crisis, or how distressing and disturb- ing the circumstances, all things be- gin to fall into order and work to- ward the accomplishment of God’s purpose. Enlist totally in the Life and Purpose of Christ, then your philosophy will be adequate for any crisis the future may bring forth. I 5 .

It has been pointed out that business and indus- try are the largest beneﬁciaries of colleges, both in the. manpower pro- duced for them and in the higher standards of living encouraged which open up new demands for their prod. ucts and services. Therefore a part- nership whereby industry assists the colleges in training personnel for in- dustry is of mutual benefit. The Minnesota plan features the slogan "A Proposal for Partnership". The colleges turn out trained men and women. the industries turn out commercial products. Already a part- nership has actually been created. (Continued on page 8) AUGDBURG COLLEGE ARCHIVES

Show more"So Teach Us to Number Our Days . . ." ERNEST G. LARSON President, Board of Trustees, Augsburg College and Seminary Among the many striking mottos inscribed on the walls of the Library of Congress in Washington is one which reads, “Art is long. and time is ﬂeeting.” The implication is that anyone who would master an art has no time to waste, but had better be up and doing. Life is at best so short that he who would accomplish some- thing really worthwhile will need to devote himself to his task with every bit of his strength and talent. The beginning of a new year is always a reminder of the fact that time is passing. Sometimes we are startled by the all-too-rapid recurrence of birthdays, anniversar- ies. and New Years! A year. or several years, seems to slip away so quickly that we begin to wonder if we can hope to accomplish many of the things we dreamed of doing. Merely lamenting the passing of time, however, can end in nothing but frustration. We ought rather to be ﬁlled with a sense of the urgency of using every moment at our disp0sal for the purpose of accomplishing something of lasting value. The prayer of the psalmist, "So teach us to number our days that we may get us a heart of wisdom.” expresses a need which is common to tvery one of us. Those of us who have been away from Augsburg for some years may look back upon the years we have spent in our chosen ﬁelds of work with mixed feelings. Expe- rience has taught us that more careful preparations for our work would have paid good dividends in higher efﬁciency and greater eHectiveness in our work. So it is with some regret that we reﬂect on any opportunity which we might have had in our school days for more thorough preparations. the value of which we did not appreciate at that time. Likewise. the memory of lost opportunities in the years which have passed brings remorse to our hearts. Yet to grieve over these will avail us nothing. No good can come of merely brooding over past failures. As the years pass we come to see that the things which are of real and lasting \alue are those which have to do with the spiritual side of life. It is therefore impor- tant to us that we employ our talents and time for the development of human values rather than seeking only the things which satisfy the temporal ambitions of life. It is gratifying to know that so many Augsburg grad- uates have entered work in which they have opportunity to serve others and cultivate an appreciation for the spiritual things. This is what gives permanent value to the work that many of you are doing even at great personal sacrifice. As you see others entering work which may be far more remunerative than yours. be not dis- couraged. The person who can inspire youth to live for the things which count for eternity, and help older people to see the value of things eternal may be doing a better job of living than he who gathers great fortunes of this world’s goods but fails to build up his heavenly treasures. Here again the Scriptural words apply, “Be not weary in well doing, always abounding in the Lord for your labors are not in vain in the Lord." This greeting goes out from Augsburg to you who are working in many different ﬁelds. We ask you again to think of these intangible values in life and devote your- selves to the unﬁnished task of seeking first God’s right- eousness and His Kingdom. We like to think that wher- ever you are we may all be united in the one common cause of building up the spiritual life of our people. Some may do this directly by teaching people the way. Others may do it somewhat indirectly by their support of the work which is being done by teachers, pastors and missionaries. Or they may be employed in some kind of service for their fellowmen which will inspire others to more noble and worthwhile living. But all may have some part in it. Your personal example and witness will count either for or against the Kingdom. Let us now unite our hearts in a New Year’s resolu- tion that this year we are all going to do things which will count for the records of eternity! Augsburg needs your prayer and support too if the work here shall be done most effectively. The Lord has sct before us an open door. We can only hope that all our friends will see the opportunity and take a vital in- terest in this work. It is our conviction that the building of new buildings, the on-going work of teaching, the daily use of public prayer and testimony, the constant challenging of students and faculty to attain high stand- ards of academic work, all of which is the familiar pat- tern of life at Augsburg, is essentially the task which God gives. It is through such efforts that hundreds of young people have been influenced and inspired for use- ful living. There are several ways in which you may continue to have a part in the work of Augsburg. You may be able to direct students to her doors. You may be able to give gifts of money which will be needed, or encourage friends to do so. And you can undergird the work here with your goodwill and intercessory prayer. Thus every one of us has both the opportunity and the responsibility of sharing in this work. “So teach us to number our days that we may get us a heart of wisdom!” AUGSBURG BULLETIN Published bi-monthly and one additional issue in April by Augsburg College and Theological Seminary at Minneapolis, Minnesota.
