Show moreDoings at the Home Eighteen transfer students are cur rolled this year. . . . Pastor A. S. Berg, Associate Pastor of St. Olaf Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, was the speaker for Spiritual Em’ phasis Week. His theme was: Life at Its Highest and Best. . . . The pur' chase of an organ for the chapel is the goal of united musical organiza' tions, under the leadership of Mr. Myrvik. The sum of three hundred dollars has been raised so far. The oﬂicial name of our school has been changed to "Augsburg Colr lege and Theological Seminary." A ﬁne new sign carrying the name has been placed on the corner of 8th Street and 'llst Avenue. This is a gift of the Class of 1940. Pastor Ernest G. Larson, ‘30, of Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, has been elected to the Board of Trustees to ﬁll the place vacated by the resignav tion of Pastor H. 0. Lee. The latter has moved to the West Coast to be' come Rector of the Poulsbo Homes. . . . Prof. Martin Quanbeck has been appointed to a new position: Dean of the College. . . . President Chrisv tensen was one of the lecturers on the Kessler Foundation at Hamma Divinity school in Wittenberg, Ohio, last spring. The lectures will be published in book form in the course of the year. Seminary students are working in local and outvof'town congregations this year as part of their training. Senior Leland Steen is supplying the Moose Lake parish (Pastor J. 0. Jo' hanson is now a chaplain in the army). A class'mate, Karsten Kris, tenson, aSsists Pastor Alfred Knutr son at Grafton, N. Dak. The latter spends part of his time in evange— listic work in Lutheran Free Church congregations. BdSZ . .. The football team lost its ﬁrst three games but against Concordia showed such great improvement that a good game is looked for with Ham— line in the Homecoming fracas. Augsburg scored ﬁrst against Con' eordia and deserved closer to a tie than the ﬁnal 1916 tally in the score, book. Phillip Kildahl is the coach. “Auggie” music scores again: Two members of last year‘s organization, John Skepstad of the Choral Club and Johan Bergh of the Choir, this year transferred to St. Olaf. Both won places in the St. Olaf Choir. Teaching candidates from last year‘s class found it comparatively easy to secure positions. A hundred per cent placement resulted. Dr. Walter Judd, Republican Can— didate for Congress, was the Con! vocation speaker, October 8. This returned Medical Missionary from China captivated his audience with his presentation on the situation in the Far East. Among faculty changes this year are these: Dr. Arthur Nash, biology professor, is on leave of absence. He is serving as an instructor in an ad' vanced ﬂying school of the Army Air Corps at Ellington Field, Texas. Dr. R. N. Danielson is taking over Dr. Nash’s work. Dr. Danielson is a graduate of the University of Min— nesota. Dr. John Stensvaag, an Augsburg graduate, will be instructor in He' brew and Old Testament Exegesis in the Seminary. Dr. Stensvaag re' ceived his Ph.D. at Hartford Semi! nary Foundation. The past year he has been studying in the ﬁeld of Semitic languages and Old Testa' ment theology at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.

It not only offers you a very concrete method of expressing your interest in the school, but your participation in its program will almost certainly add to that interest. Each member agrees to contribute a certain sum monthly (although he may pay annually if he so prefers). The minimum amount has been set low enough so that even persons of very limited means may be able to join. Those in better circumstances should, of course, contribute accordr ingly. “ ‘ It is obvious that a person with a passing concern for Augsburg will find it very difﬁcult to make regular monthly contributions. He must be reached by special appeals and in' gatherings or similar makeshifts made necessary by the inadequacy and irregularity of our support. however, that the school has scores of real friends who as yet are not members of the A.F.F. If they all could be induced to par' ticipate there would no doubt be a considerable brightening of the ﬁnancial picture. Their regular con' tributions accompanied by their inr terest and prayer would go far to ward making Augsburg fulﬁll its mission. I am sure, Melvin I. Fossan. “It is a serious and important matter that we help and assist our Youth, and one in which Christ and all the'world are mightily concerned.

Colleges with an atmosphere of religious enrichment are needed to— day as never before in history. The world has suﬁicient brainrpower to solve its problems, but not the soul to stiﬂe its selﬁshness. Men do not need more knowledge concerning means by which to live; they need to know the ends for which life is designed. O O O- . O The Churchrrelated liberal arts college is dedicated to further the Christian philosophy of life and pro’ claims: “The fear of the Lord, that is wisdom.“ Augsburg College has a holy pur’ pose and mission. She desires to train students for dynamic, purpose, ful living, that they may assume re! sponsibilities in the social order as well'balanced, well‘adjusted, creative personalities. To mould Youth for high and noble living, to encourage Youth to constructive endeavor, to present Youth with the lure of the good, the true and the beautiful— that is the purpose of Augsburg College. 0 O O O O A.F.F.

Show moreFORWARD IN FAITH... The words of the motto chosen for the Centennial of the Lutheran Free Church, to be celebrated in 1943, give expression to the attitude in which all our work must be done these days. The changes that take place in the life of the nation come so swiftly that no one can foresee what tomorrow will bring. Today there is no possibility of living by "sight"——nor even by shrewd calculation. The “best laid plans" can be overturned in an hour by a Presidential speech or by some new turn in Congressional policy. And though we must do our best in preparing to meet the eventualities of the future, even the wisest cannot see very far ahead. At the present date of writing (October 17) we have at Augsburg a total enrolment of 325 in the College and 20 in the Seminary. This is rather encouraging even though it represents a decrease of about 15 percent as compared with last year at a similar date. Since last spring we have lost two members of our Faculty (Dr. Nash and Mr. Dahlen) to the Armed Services. And the still unsettled draft laws hover constantly over both the students and many Faculty members. Nevertheless we must carry on! Through the Centennial Endeavor now being carried on—in which every Augsburg aluanS ought to have a generous partl—we are hoping to have the whole indebtedness of our school liquidated by next year. If this effort is successful, as we trust it will be, it will still require hard work and many sacrifices to “hold that line" in these exceedingly unstable and unpredictable times. But we shall do our best to do so, so as to be ready for new forward movements when the war is over. I have just received the Bulletin of the University of Chicago. That great institution has recently inaugurated a plan of direct gifts from alumni and friends to supplement their income from endowments. For instance, last year the alumni gave a sum of about $94,000 for this purpose, equal to the normal income from more than two and a quarter million dollars. Even great, wellvendowed universities are ﬁnding the value of direct gifts toward current expenses, the plan that schools like Augsburg have long followed. More than ever in these times Augsburg needs the support of her alumni and former students, as well as that of the Church. Every gift, large or small, counts. A recent graduate of the College, now in the army, sends five dollars regularly every month. Such loyalty is inspiring and unforget- table. Two young women, not graduates and with no large income, have for several years given more than a hundred dollars annually. And the smaller gifts that come day by day are no less appreciated. Almost every one of the letters that I have seen from Auggies in the Armed Forces have expressed a deepened appreciation of their Alma Mater as a result of their army or navy experiences. Christian education pays- not necessarily always in dollars and cents, but in values that are far more

Carlsen Graduates who are afﬁliated with Lutheran Free Church congregations have heard a good deal about the Lutheran Free Church Centennial. The one'hundreth anniversary of the beginning of organized Lutheran congregational work by Norwegian people in this country will be ob' served in 1943. A three'fold pro gram — educational, evangelistic, and ﬁnancial is being carried on. For the latter purpose $140,000 or more will be raised to retire all debts on Lutheran Free Church institutions, including _Augsburg. In connection with the educa— tional aim, Pastor C. J. Carlsen of Minot, North Dakota, has written a book, “The Years of Our Church,“ which is a history of the Lutheran Free Church and its institutions. It interprets for the present generation the story of what has gone before. Many Augsburg graduates and friends will ﬁnd in this book interest— ing and enlightening material on the history of the institution, to which they perhaps have not had access be' fore. Order the book from the Lu, theran Free Church Publishing Co., 264 Cedar Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota. The price is $1.00. 099-. Croix de Guerre Winner Dies Dr. Hans C. Erickson, a graduate of Augsburg College in the Class of 1903, and a graduate of the Medical School of the University of Minne' sota passed away recently at Soldiers‘ Grove, Wisconsin, and was buried at Stanley, Wisconsin. Dr. Erickson practiced Medicine in various places in the Northwest, most recently at Wildrose, North Dakota. He entered the service of the Government in C. C. C. Camp work in Oregon last fall and was in that service until he became ill. The following statement is from the “Stanley, Wisconsin Republican": “In 1917 Dr. Erickson enlisted in the army and saw service overseas, where he won the Croix de Guerre from the French government for valorous service. He held the commission of Captain in the Medical Corps." Dr. Erickson was a son of the Adams Church near Argyle; Wis- consin, a brother of Pastor M. A. Erickson of Hendricks, Minnesota.

At a time when most minds are occu' pied with the destructive efforts of war the work of building a fellowship of liv' ing people around a cause that is primari' ly spiritual. and the purpose of which is to encourage personal faith in God, and righteousness and good will toward all men, becomes tremendously important. It is a matter of Christian duty and honor. We owe it to our heritage, to the Church in this fair land that shows us the way of salvation, and especially to the young people who are to replace us in the ranks of service when our day is done. ‘ Th‘e natural way to proceed in an efv fort of this kind is to rally around an institution whose God’given commission is to .train leaders for the church and American. society. Augsburg is such an institution. Its'place in American church life is well-known, and there is a grow! ing number of people who appreciate sincerely the type of practical Christianity that Augsburg has stood for. The aim of the Augsburg Foundation Fellowship is, therefore, to widen the circle of friends who believe in the ideals of Augsburg. and to bring these friends closer together. In order to make the members of this organization better acquainted with one another a group of names from the mem' hership list will from now on he pub' lished in each issue of the Bulletin. The ﬁrst twenty'five who Joined the A. F. 1". are fUUnd in this number. Look for the continued membership list in subsequent issues. At present a volunteer committee from the 1942 graduating class is busy enlist' ing new members for the A. F. F. They are aiming at a hundred per cent response. All those who have joined the A. F. F. by the time of its ﬁrst annual meeting which is to be held on the ﬁrst "Foundal tion Day," lvlay 31, 1942, will be counted as charter members of the organization. The success of the A. F. F. depends largely on the progress that can be made in gathering new members, and on the regular support which those give who have joined. We on the general commib tee believe so strongly in the value of this organization that we want to work for an enlarged membership in every way we can. Since it will entail too much ext pense to get in personal touch with all alumni and other friends who are prO' spective members, we are making this ap’ peal through the bulletin that those who have not already joined will signify their intention to do so by writing to the F. F., Augsburg College and Seminary. Olaf Rogne. First 25 Members of The ABF. Membership List We will continue to print about 25names in each Bulletin. . Mr. Thomas Halvorson, Minneapolis Rev. N. C.

Show moreMen of Conviction Men of conviction shape the world. While others waver and hesitate, they act. Not always in the outer world seen and observed by men, often in the inner world of the spirit; yet they act, and frequently with farrreaching results. Until we have convictions we are tossed about hither and thither, exerting no decisive inﬂuence for or against the causes that move mankind. Until we have convictions we are intellectual and spiri’ tual weather vanes, reflecting the trends of prevailing opinion but directed by no strong inner principle. But men of conviction are pillars, not weather vanes. A Christian college and seminary is a place for the formation of men and women of conviction. Through deep grappling with many phases of truth and falsehood, the student should gradually learn to take his stand—and to maintain it. “The world is most powerftu inﬂuenced," someone has said, “by those who have the courage to renounce the world.“ That is, as long as a person’s conduct is controlled by the opinions of the world around him he will have no ﬁrm footing as a basis for changing that world. Such a footing is gained only through the possession of truth. “The truth shall make you free" applies also here. Truth, therefore, and the convictions that arise from its posses sion—convictions about God and man, about religion and govern’ ment, about human society and human freedom, and about a thou, sand other important realities—these constitute major goals in a college and seminary education. It is because Christian education believes ﬁrme that freedom in both Church and State, as well as in the life of the individual, is fully consonant with, yes is inseparably bound up with strong de’ votion to deﬁnite convictions, that it strives to develop personalities marked by this quality above all others. BERN HARD CHRISTENSEN.

Ryden, president of the American L u t h e r a n Conference, speaks at the graduation exercises; Professor H. N. Hendrickson will give the Baccalaureate message; and Professor L. Lillehei speaks at the seminary exercises. Welcome to Commencement Augsburg extends a hearty welcome to alumni, former students, and friends to be present at the various festivities in connection with the 1942 Commencement. One of the counterbalancing values coming to us in a time of war and suffering is a closer knitting of the ties that unite us about fundamental causes and institutions. Among such institutions the Church, the Home, and the State are outstanding. And the school, especially the school of higher education, plays a major role in building these fundamental, sustain! ing loyalties into the hearts of a people. Therefore, in a time like this the sons and daughters of the Christian College ﬁnd themselves drawn into a deeper, stronger fellowship with one another, centering in the ongoing work of Alma Mater. Commencement festivities and Homecoming celebra‘ tions each year provide happy occasions for outward expression of this felr lowship, and we are always glad to extend a hearty handclasp to all who can ﬁnd it possible to attend. And above all is this true this year. Welcome to Commencement at Augsburg, 1942. Bernhard Christensen.

Show moreOne Hundred Years . . . Since the very beginning of the Lutheran Church among our fore; fathers who came to settle in the great northwest. Christian Education has been an integral part of our church work. In the first congrega' Bernhard A. Helland Centennial Director tion, which our ancestors organized at Muskego, Wis, in 1843, educar tion of the young was provided for. This year we are preparing to celc' brate one hundred years of progress in our church—one hundred years of God‘s grace. In this Centennial Endeavor Christian Education is be ing accorded a prominent part. Our Christian institutions have provided scores of men and Women who have gone out to take their places of service in the churches and Communities. They have helped to pattern the design for Christian lIV‘ iiig among our young people. Their contribution to the life of our com- munities has been invaluable. In order that this beneﬁcial in' fluence may be made permanent in our country. the foundation of our church schools must be strengthened. It is one of the aims of our Centeii' iiial Endeavor to liquidate the debts of our church schools The debt of Augsburg. which has been accruing through the acquisition and improve' ment of property. as well as through inadequate ﬁnancial support from our‘congregations during the strin' gent years, is approximately $75,001). Through the attainment of our goal: “One thousand $100 gifts—and a gift from everyone" we aim to liqui' date this debt. as well as the other debts of our Lutheran Free Church. This is a proper time to liquidate debts. as our government recom’ mends the paying of all private and institutional obligations. Several alumni of Augsburg have already pledged $100, either in cash or in Defense Bonds. Others have promv ised lesser sums. Let us unite in removing from our Alma Mater the burden of debt,.so that she may face the future with a secure conﬁdence. Bernhard ‘A. HellandT

Show moreThe Augsburg Foundation Fellowship... N THE UNWRlTTEN HISTORY of Christian people in this great land of ours many chapters on devoted loyalty and sac' riiicial givng to the cause of the Kingdom of Christ by individual men and women could be fitted in. This is especially true in the field of Christian Education Colleges and Seminarics which have today a reason! ably safe ﬁnancial backing look with grativ tudc to certain men and Women who saw what great services such institutions could render our nation, and they gave generously of their means to promote their work. Some gave large sums while they lived, and others left testamentary gifts after they died. Their example and foresight is an inspiration to the generations that follow them. - While we are rejoicing in the thought and expressing our gratitude for what others have done in this area of Christian service it is important that we keep before us also the opportunities that God wants us to make use of for ourselves. Most of us are so situated financially that we cannot give large sums of money. But this fact does not ex' cuse us from having a share in a good work. nor does it bar us from being along to reap the blessings that sacriﬁcial giving brings. We can all adopt, if we are interested. a plan of systematic and regular giving of smaller sums. And as the many streamlets make the large river so can a group of interested individuals with moderate means do great things for a good cause. Alumni. former students and other friends of Augsburg have been looking for some time for an organization through which the best interests of Augsburg could be promoted both spiritually and ﬁnancially. This organi' zation, we believe, has now been formed. It came into being last summer by joint action of the Alumni Association and the Augsburg Board of Trustees. It is called The Augsburg Foundation Fellowship. The purpose of this new organization is three-fold: 1. To unite more closely into a spiritual fellowship all who are vitally interested in the Augsburg program of Christian Education. 2. To win new friends for Augsburg. 3. To build the foundation for a "living endowment" for the financial support of Augsburg, and to place this support on a ﬁrmer and a more adequate and regular basis. Up to the present time those who have been entrusted with the duties of promoting this Work have been busy mainly with lays ing the foundation. The constitution is ready and adopted. Some publicity has been given to the organization through the church publications. All Augsburg College Alumni, other than the pastors of the Lutheran Free Church, have been contacted by corresponr dence, and a beginning has been made to contact a number of individuals personally. We are more interested in building slowly and carefully, laying broad foundations for a "long range" program, rather than build, ing hurriedly. A membership list is also started. Sixty'ﬂve had joined by February 1. For these first sixtyvﬁve the yearly pledge totals somewhat more than a thousand dole lars. The plan for the future is to work for enlistment of more members among Alumni, former students and friends of Augsburg who understand and appreciate the value of a Christian Education program. All memv bers of the Fellowship will receive the new Augsburg Bulletin. Report on the work of the Fellowship will be given from time to time. We believe that this plan has great possibilities for serving Augsburg in a prac- tical:way, and it is hereby heartily recom' mended to the readers. Olaf Rom, Executive Secretary of the A. F. P.
