Show moresasaasaasasaa THE AUGSBURGIAN §E§E§E§E§E§E§E§E alternative of insanity seemed the probable outcome. Michael had become a pre- maturely aged and bitter man, hopeless, cheerless, Godless. On this particular night, it seemed as though the torment and burning agony of it was more than he could bear. His tortured heart cried out and cursed the fate which was slowly leading him to destruction. His fevered mind refused to function and he stumbled blindly forward, not knowing or caring whither he went. For what seemed hours he walked on, until at last he grew weary. If only that infernal melody would leave him. Yet it fascinated him, and he went over it repeatedly, correcting numerous minor flaws, until it very nearly approached perfection. His head throbbed with its burden of restrained emotion. “Oh God,” he groaned, “if Thou art truly God, help me.” This was the first prayer that he had uttered for three years. Suddenly, as if in answer, he heard the sound of a woman’s voice singing. He had wandered down into the Italian quarter of the city. On each side of him towered giant tenements. The narrow street was deserted except for a few dirty, barefooted boys and their mangy-looking dogs. The close, fetid air seemed to stifle him, and he was about to turn back when he heard the voice again. After looking in vain a while for the singer, he at last saw her seated before an open window in one of the tenements. She sat in a low chair, rocking a baby in her arms. The mellow, flickering light of two candles enveloped her in a golden haze, giving the exquisite face in its frame of smoothly-brushed hair a Madonna-like appearance. As she rocked the infant, she crooned an old Venetian lullaby. The full round cadences of her pure voice floated down to the listening man, carrying with them their passion of tenderness and love. It seemed to him that never [before had he heard such an expression of sympathy and complete understanding. He stood entranced, feasting his parched soul on the song and the singer. After a time the music ceased, and the candles were extinguished. Again all was quiet in the narrow street. But in Michael O’Shane’s heart there was tumult and a disquieting feeling of elation. He felt as does a strangling man when he is suddenly released. Some restraining barrier seemed to have melted away. The melody of his composition flooded his heart again. Yet this time it filled him with a strange awe and exaltation. His pulses quickened, as the slowly dawning understanding of it came to him. The bond had broken and he was free. The tremendous strain was relaxed and the tears trickled down his cheeks. In this moment of realization nothing mattered except the wonder of it, and some lines that he had heard long ago came into his mind. If I v God moves m (I mysterious way, His wonders to perform.“ The light burned in Michael O’Shane’s studio all that night. He sat at his piano pouring all that had been pent up within him for three weary years. The music was fiery, and bitterly passionate at first; gradually it became softer and sweeter; then it swelled into a pean of praise and thanksgiving. The greatest of all cradle songs, “His Lulla‘by,” with its weirdly crooning pathos and sweetness was born that night. When it was published later, it bore the inscription: "To the memory of a little Italian mother, With all gratitude and reverence, MICHAEL O’SHANE.” sasasaasaaaaaaaa 11927 11928 sasaasaaasaaasaa Page 77 Show less

Show moregammmsz THE AUGSBpRGiAN sawmmw literary The Main Stream of English and American Literature is Decidedly Biblical. This principal portion of our literary heritage is called The Great Tradition. It is something to cherish. Old English writers were mainly influenced by the Bible. Chaucer made application of Christian thought and faith in his marvelous pictures of humanity. Shakespeare knew the principal doctrines of Christian faith, a fact that is clearly evident in a study of his plays. He be- lieved in these truths, as may be definitely seen by reading his last will. Milton’s works are totally permeated with Bible thought and faith. Coleridge professed faith in the Triune God and hope of salvation through the merits of Christ alone. His works are filled with his Christian seriousness. Browning fought the good fight of faith in word and deed throughout an age of unbelief. Whittier wrote poety filled with a Christian conviction of the deepest and tenderest beauty. Read his poem “Our Master,” from which several excellent hymns have been made. But why multiply witnesses? There are hosts of them, men and women whose spirits have kept to the main current of our Great Tradition. We need not drink of muddy waters. There is plenty of good water—brooks flow- ing out of the Fountain of everlasting Truth and Beauty.

This may appear to be a statement contrary to fact and out of place in a student publication, for it is commonly conceded that students attend school to learn from masters in their respective fields. Nevertheless, it is equally true that every student meets questions in his daily work which he needs, and rightfully prefers, to discuss with his equals. To meet this need the Aletheia Club was organized in 1924- and has continued its activities since, in discussing matters of interest to the members and in attempting to solve questions that arise in whatever field of activity or speculation they may lie. This is a comprehensive program, but it is just such a program as life itself, and therefore it is justifiable and exceedingly interesting and profitable. The Club meets bi-Weekly, at which time theses presented by the individuals or general topics pre- viously agreed upon are discussed. In one respect, however, we of the Aletheia do not adhere to the quotation above. There is One who is Master of all, and of all knowledge, and therefore, as our con- stitution states, “Recognizing that all truth centers in Him who said, ‘I am the Truth,’ we, as a society, propose to discuss the various problems of life in their rela- tion to His teachings to the end that, knowing the Truth,the Truth may make us free.” wwuumfiwu 1927 1928 figfifigfifigfififigfififigfififigfi Page 47 Show less

The friends of Augsburg,r and the churches affiliated with the Lutheran Free Church have worked patiently and in fine faith to keep the. school runnin". The faculty and students likewise have joined hands to cherish that purpose and spirit entrusted into their hands. Do we fully realize what it means to have responsibility for a living thing? It is our privilege not merely to enjoy its use— fulness for our own personal ends, nor only to keep the “wheels of the. machine” in motion. A living thing is more than a machine. If We assume the responsibility which follows upon associating ourselves with a living: purpose such as a school, and, in particular, a school with a specifically Chris— tian aim, we at the same. time tacitly, but none the less directly, agree to cooperate in the enlargement of the ()ppOI'tllflitiCS of the school to do more work and to do the work more efliciently. With the past achievements in mind and with renewed dedication of self to the high ideals which have carried the school up to the present, it is our privilege to turn our faces to the future. The one word which will cover the obligation we have to our school as we look forward is Progress. As in the proverb “all is not gold that glitters,” so here we are concerned to maintain the real values and to build on the foundation already laid. so that our superstructure will rest squarely and completely upon those foundations. True progress is gained by building from within and not by putting a flashing exterior on a tottering skeleton. VVe have entered upon a period of expansion and growth. Let us give ourselves to this work with enthusiasm and faith, at all times makim,r expansion secure by keeping the inner realities as the controlling forces which determine the extent and the degree of expansion. Augsburg, is frankly founded upon faith in Christ. lts reason for being is that faith. It is in that faith that Augsburg,r strives to progress. ‘If :i: :i: :k :5: :,< :{: :k An opportunity is an invitation from the Lord to enter into purposive living. Do not rashly rush into responsibility, nor in sloth or cowardice seek to avoid it. “Be strong.r and of good courage; be not affrighted, neither be thou dismayed: for Jehovah thy God is with thee whithersoever thou guest.” (4' l‘ake heed now, for Jehovah hath chosen thee to build a house for the sanctuary: be strong and do it.” W71 1 W 11927 1192.8 saweszesrtrmrtgsr Page 9 Show less

Show moreusesasasasasasa THE AUGSBURGJIAN §E§E§E§Z§E§E§E§Z “191's IuIIahy” The last rays of the setting sun crept through the latticed windows of the big stone house, making a path of golden light across the cluttered, untidy room. They Hitted over the heavy velvet hangings and som‘ber massive chairs, lingering, for a moment, on the piano, which stood at one end of the apartment, half buried under heaps of torn-up manuscripts and uncompleted musical scores, and came to rest, at last, on the bowed head of the man sitting in lonely meditation. There they hovered with melancholy tenderness, as though they felt and were striving to alleviate the suffering which the bowed head expressed. Slowly the bowed head was lifted, and Michael O’Shane sat staring at the crumpled paper which he held clutohed in his hands. The drawn lines in his face deepened as he regarded it, and his expression of bewilderment and pain, tinged with shame, was intensified. He smoothed out the manuscript on his knee and looked at the disconnected jumble of notes on it. Yes! That was all he was good for— to write snatches that were never completed. But he had been so confident that this one would be finished. The melody had throbbed and pulsated within him, until he had felt as though his heart could not bear the thrill of it. His wzhole soul and self had seemed attuned and saturated with that one theme. Joyously confident he had gone to the piano to give birth to this wonderful thing, but as always, when his fingers touched the keys, it faded away and was lost. In desperation he had seized his pen and paper seeking to woo it 'back again, but all in vain and this——-this inexpressible folly, was his masterpiece. A sob shook him and he passed his hand over his eyes, much as a child does to shut out a hideous nightmare. Blindly and gropingly, as one who seeks to escape from dread phantoms, he arose and stumbled from the room. Michael O’Shane had been considered one of the most promising of the younger musicians. One had only to see the sensitive face with its dreamy blue eyes and finely molded mouth, which was only saved from effeminacy by the obstinate, pur- poseful chin, to know that here was an artist. The hands were beautiful. The long, tapering fingers, the broad palm, and the compactness and grace of the Whole gave the impression of muscles trained to perfect coordination. Although but a young man, he was well—known as a composer and concert pianist. Then had come the accident. The train in which he was rtraveling on one of his tours plunged down an embankment. Many people were killed and many were injured. Michael escaped With a fractured skull. For weeks he lingered between life and death. The physicians predicted that he would become insane if he should recover. But lVIichael slowly came back from the very threshold of death and was seemingly completely restored to health. T-hen had come (the day when he again felt the thrill of creative genius stirring within him. He wen-t eagerly to his piano, as was his custom, and tried to express his inspiration, but his fingers failed to respond. Again and again he made the attempt, but always just as he seemed about to grasp it, the melody faded away, leaving a trail of silvery, mocking laughter in its wake. Several specialists had been consulted, but all gave the same verdict—that some path of contact had been broken. It might suddenly be restored by some trivial incident; if it were not, insanity would eventually follow. Three years had passed since that time, and still Michael O’Shane was held thrall by the evil genius which had gripped him. Never had his creative power been as great as during this time of his ‘bondage. He composed, mentally, beautiful gems of music, only to lose them as soon as he tried to give them to the world.

Augsburg has endeavored to stimulate interest in effective speech through oratorical contests held annually and which are open to all college students. The Winner of the contest has his name engraved upon a silver cup which was presented by the class of 1918 and which remains in the possession of the school. In 1928 the Winner was also given a small silver cup and second and third prizes were awarded to the successful contestants. The honors for the past two years were given to Arthur Grimstad. In the con- test of 1927 his topic was "The Drug Problem.” Franz Pearson won second place. This year the winner's topic was "llnperialism." Ingar Olsen received a silver medal for second place. Kristofer Hagen was awarded the third place and received a bronze medal. sagasasamawww 1927 1928 wwmamawga Page 72 Show less

Yet, it is the prayer of every individual in our class to be able to say with Paul, “—’I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation.” We have dedicated our lives to the Master, and therefore we are willing to be humble and to prepare ourselves for a fuller service to the Lord unto the salvation of souls. Souls, yes souls, that have a greater value than the whole world. It was the love of souls that prompted Jesus to suffer and die for us; and it is our prayer, as we continue our study, that we too may be richly imbued with that Christ-like love for the souls of men. We realize that the task before us is a great one and yet it is our desire that we may become “ministers of His, that do His pleasure,” and that we may have a part in the fulfillment of that great and last command that Christ gave to his dis- ciples in the words, “Go ye therefore and make disciples of all nations—.” fiflfififififififififigfigfififififigfi 11927 1928 mwmumwsm Page 23 Show less

Hockey is one of the latest additions to the inter-collegiate athletic competition fostered at Augsburg, yet it is in that sport that our school has been most successful. Three years ago hockey was unheard of on our campus. Last year we boasted of a team which, in finishing the season undefeated, and in winning from Phalen- Luther by a 4 to 0 score in the finals: of the state tournament held at Macalester College, was unofiicially recognized as champion of the state. Enviable as was the record of the team in its initial year, yet this year’s achieve— ments were even more noteworthy. The eyes of hockey enthusiasts throughout the country were directed toward our team when it was learned that it was being con— sidered as a possible representative of the United States at the Olympics in Switzer- land. Hopes of international competition failed of realization, however, so the wearers of Maroon and Gray gave their undivided attention to intercollegiate hockey. Here they met with the same success as in the previous year. After winning all scheduled games with ease, the team entered the state tournament, again staged and sponsored by Macalester College. The tournament finals found Augsburg opposed by the sextet from the Virginia Junior College. In defeating Virginia, 5 to 0, the Auggics emerged from the tournament with a total of 22 goals scored against op— ponents while holding their own goal inviolate. Hockey having been adopted by Minnesota colleges on a conference basis, Augsburg was officially awarded the cham- pionship. Such is the history of hockey at Augsburg. Perhaps it would be too much to expect a continuation of such success in the future, but we can rest assured that future wearers of the school colors will try to measure up to the heights already attained. sausaausaaaausa 1927 1928 §E§E§E§E§E§E§E§E§E§E§E Page 89 Show less
