The school owns three buildings The main building. a modern fire-proof structure, was occupied in 1923. The first building, originally a residence, was bought in 1906 together with a strip of land along the Red River. This building is now old and not adapted for school use. East Hall was built in 1908 and now serves as a boys‘ dor- mitory. This building is yet in good condition. OAK GROVE SEMINARY. FARGO. N. DAK. a. What is the character a/ the school! It is a Christian secondary school for boys and girls, young men and women. Since the moving of the Bible School from Willmar to Fargo in 1927, it is also s Luth» eran Bible School. 4. Is it necessary to have a church Academy besides the state High Schools? There has always been a demand for High School edu- cation on a Christian basis. This demand is increasing at present. Because of the principle of absolute separa- tion of church and state the state institutions can not and should not undertake to teach religion. But Lutheran church people believe that Christianity is so important a factor in the life of our youth that it should not be neg- lccbed in High School education. 5. Is not thin particular field covered lie/arc? Oak Grove Seminary in the only standardized Lutheran High School in North Dakota. 8. What awn" are olmd? Four courses are altered in the High School, viz. the Academic or College Preparatory. the Home Economics. the Commercial and the Music course. AUvabUKG (bl-Lch ARCHIVES 10.

'l‘heir \‘isit to Norway was the first of its kind and created con- siderable interest. On its travels in the interest of temperance and prohibition the quartet became instrumental in creating enthusiasm for music and singing among the young people in the congregations as well as in the temperance societies, and choirs were started in many places where chorus sing- ing had been unknown before. This led further to the organization of the Norwegian Lutheran Choral Union in 1892. In a short time over 70 choirs joined this association and some very suc— cessful “sangerfests” were held. These meetings were very inspirational and did a great deal to encourage choral singing in the Lutheran churches in the West. BULLETIN Tin-1 AUGsm’RG GLEE CLUB A male octet was organized by Professor H. N, llendricksnn in 1900. Three years later this was enlarged and became known as the Augsburg (ilee Club, which immediately became the leading musical organization at school, a position which it has since retained. To “make” the Glee Club was considered an honor, hence it has always com- manded the best vocal talent in school and has generally done creditable work.

THE Acosnunc Gun: CLUB, 1930 Our Brethren In Canada and Our Schools HE Jubilee Campaign for our schools needs the hearty support of our Free Church peo— ple in Canada in order to succeed. Christian work must recognize no artificial borders, and Chris- tian need should be universal in its appeal. Christ’s love and vision encompassed the world. The church that he founded was not intended to be merely local but universal. This broadness of view the early Christians had caught, and so we find Jerusalem sending the gospel to Macedonia, and Macedonia in turn ministering to the needs of the saints at Jerusalem. This was one of the fairest fruits that grew out of spiritual unity—— the only unity that really counts in Christian work. The Lutheran Free Church has not been un- mindful of our people who settled in Canada. Our churches in the "States" sent liberally both money and men to minister to the spiritual needs of the many who sought “The world of prairie, the world of plain, The world of promise, and hope, and gain.” During a period of 36 years 40 ministers. trained in Augsburg Seminary at an approximate cost of $80,000, have gone forth with the homo stead seekers into the dense forests and broad prairies of Western Canada, in order that the settlers might not be without the guidance of the gospel of Christ. The records also show that they have played an important part in colonizing the Western Provinces. In 1894 the Reverend C. T. Saugstad led a band of home seekers to British Columbia and Show less

But in order to bring this about. it was necessary to create a new hymnology, which both in text and music was suited to the revived church. So well was this difficult task performed, that the Lutheran church above most others be- came a singing church. School and home as well as house of worship rang with sacred song. As a Lutheran institution Augsburg has been true also in this respect to the best traditions of our church;——it has fostered interest in song. How Augsburg has contributed to this phase of spiritual and cultural life in the past will be very briefly sketched in the following. Prior to 1873 little information about musical been rendered from time to time, besides a mul- titude of smaller pieees of which Scandinavian and German music literature has so rich :1 store.

In that year Rev. Ole Paulson is mentioned as having instruct- ed the students in singing. THE AUGSBURG CHORUS In 1877 Oliver Larson, organist in the Swedish Augustana Church in Minneapolis, was engaged as instructor in music. He was a trained musi— cian from Sweden, where he had been a leader of student choruses. His high musical standing may be inferred from the fact that he was invited to act as accompanist for Christina Nilsson at her historic concert in the old Coliseum. Larson or- ganized and developed a very good male chorus of Augsburg students and established a high standard of choral singing, which remained a po- tent influence in the musical life of the school. Since that day choral singing has been the chief form of musical activity at Augsburg. Most of the outstanding choral works for male voices have diate vicinity. Vocally this quartet was unusually strong, and it made a lasting impression on the thousands who heard them. It was the temperance movement in the eight- ies which inspired the organization of the Augs. burg quartet in 1888. It was made up of Profes- sor Theo. S. Reimestad, first tenor and leader, J. L. Nydahl. second tenor, Frants Norman, first bass, and Martin Havdal, second bass. All were ardent advocates of temperance and prohibition. The singing drew large audiences, and between the songs temperance talks were given by the members of the quartet or by other speakers. It was a veritable crusade in oratory and song to wrest the holy places, the church and the home. from the grasp of the infidel saloon. During the summer vacations of 1888, 1890, 1892, and 1894, the quartet toured Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa. South Dakota, and North Dakota. In 1895 it made a tour to Nor- Show less

Others seem not to have grasped the im- portance of this campaign at all. Too many seem to follow the principle that if there is anything left after the other wants are satisfied. they will give a little. The Lord has to be satisfied with the leavings. Is that Christian? Is that going to bring God’s blessing upon us? The ancient Jews knew better than to bring the lame and the halt to the atlar. They must bring the first fruit and the 'best. To do anything less was to invite a curse in- stead of a blessing. When will Christians learn this lesson? We have met with some disappointments, but we refuse to be discouraged, for we have had some experiences that have strengthened our faith. The response of our Ladies’ Aids, Young People’s Societies, and Sunday Schools has been good.

But if our schools are training men and women to be messengers of light and peace to those who were languishing in darkness, “with- out hope and without God in the world," then Christians certainly ought to support them and eetly hindering God‘s cause; then we are not with Him but against Him. God has shown that He could use the Lutheran Free Church and our schools in the past. Whether we shall be usable in the future depends entirely upon whether we have faith in Him and a will- ingness to serve. We must prove our faith by our works. The schools need the money very badly.

They were brave and faithful workers for the furtherance of the kingdom of God in this country and in foreign lands. They were instruments of great power, used by God to make Christianity a vital factor in the life of the people. Their spiritual influence has been felt among our people throughout the whole land. We remember our pioneers for what the unchanging Christ was for them and meant to them, for their sound and zealous work for the spiritual awakening of our people, and for their building up of a free and independent congregation founded upon Biblical Lutheran fundamental principles. We remember our fathers for their wholehearted loyalty to their adopted country, and for their intelligent work to preserve the best there is to be found in the Norwegian culture, which they have transmitted to us as an in- dispensable heritage. We remember our leaders for their un- ceasing labors in founding such schools as Augsburg and Oak Grove. Augsburg Seminary has itself been a pioneer among N orth- men in America. It was called by God to take the lead in one of the most serious and most difficult problems which the Chris- tian Church throughout the changing times has to solve, namely: How shall God‘s servants in the congregation best be trained for their work? Let us rejoice in remembering our fathers, praising God who gave them wisdom and courage and strength to take the lead in this great cause and blaze the way. In many ways it can be said about our leaders what the apostle Paul says about himself, that he fills up in his flesh that which was lacking of the afflictions of Christ for His body‘s sake, which is the Church.

It is an inspiration to think of the wide scope, the immense value, and the tremendous cost in self-sacrifice and hardships which their work in the Vineyard presents to us. Not a few re- fiesent missionary heroism, a dauntless zeal in serving the aster on the extreme frontiers; others represent more the genuine pastoral, evangelistic and educational effort and fore- sight in the early days in the Northwest. Our pioneers founded Augsburg and Oak Grove. These schools are the very heart and life of the Church, the guardians and preservers of our faith. They founded them not for a day; they founded them to continue to serve and carry on their mis- sion from generation to generation. We are the heirs of their faith and sacrifices. Now we are bearing the responsibility of carrying them forward and keeping them intact, not for our- selves only, but for the generations that are coming after us. Shall we prove ourselves worthy of their sacred trust? firms Hlsxm The pioneer fathers and mothers are gone; their schools and our schools live on. They send out the life blood of Christian power and growth to every part and activity of our church at home and abroad. Surely it is a privilege for us to bear the re- sponsibility for our forefathers’ greatest work. And, above all, let us remember, that Jesus Christ is the same now as in generations past. His love, His peace and joy are the same. His salvation is the same. Whatever Christ was to Paul, He is still to us. Whatever He did for Luther when He made him a new man, a man of strong faith, He will do for us. And whatever He was and did for our pioneers, He will do for us, yea, much more. Our pioneers' God is our God. He will remain the same for ever. Praise the Lord! ig- 1%. 0. Mi Anon-ox PI-rn Nina-n on Kinux Show less

In a few places the work has been practically finished, and the results are encouraging. One of the oldest living graduates sends his check for $100, saying, “It is a great pleasure to me to be able—~if only in a small measure—to express my gratitude for what I have received from old Augsburg.” The younger generation is also showing the right kind of interest. Our young people and the children in Sunday schools have responded be- yond expectation. A key-man in a church that finished its can- vass Dec. 28 writes: “All seemed to be cheerful givers, but I think it would be well if the need were more fully explained.” That is just exactly what is needed. We who understand the need must instruct those who are uninformed. Spread the bulletins. Encourage by precept and example. We have received two $500 contributions, one from a party in Minneapolis and one from a party in North Dakota. A $400 contribution was sent in as a memorial from eight heirs. The great bulk of the campaign remains yet to be done. From now on we must speed up.

At the re- quest of the editors of this bulletin the following is attempted. It is not difficult to find material for a presen- tation of this sort. However, a bare sketch, neces- sarily brief and not at all complete, must suffice to show the connection. When the Lutheran Free Church began its work some thirty odd years ago, the first step was to secure the needed support for our theological seminary. This is obvious. No church body could exist for any length of time, work up and main- tain a certain degree of prestige, without schools. In all enterprises there must be leaders. The leaders must be well informed; they must be dis- ciplined; trained. Else they could not lead. This training is done in schools of the right sort. Ex- ceptionally, in “the university of hard knox," but generally, in established institutions of learning. Show less

Show more8 iJUBiILPE BQELETIN Our Schools Are Great Pillars of Bible Faith The Gospel of the Son of God who died on the cross to save sinful mankind is again the stumbling block to the proud heart of man. On every hand, thought, even pastors sworn to the truth of God, are denying Christ and making 11 mockery of Gethsemane and Calvary and a fable of the resurrection. The world is turning from reverence to ridicule. from self—denial to self-assertion and self-indulgence, from the life of the spirit to the love of the slavery of the flesh, from Christ- likeness to the image of the enemy of Christ. It is doubtful whether the warfare between the power of light and the forces of darkness has ever been as bitter as it is right now. During all this struggle, Augsburg and Oak Grove have remained loyal to the faith of the Bible. Their faculties are Christian and Lutheran. Their students are imbued with the spirit of Christ. Their service is for the old faith. Augsburg and Oak Grove are not only the great power house for our Church, they are outstanding barriers in the great warfare between modernism and the faith in the revealed Word of God. God needs them in His Kingdom beyond the immediate service which they are rendering to our Church body. leaders of Our Sincerity as Christians Daily we pray: “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Surely in so praying we are aware of the implied pledge that as far as lies in our power we will see that His Kingdom does come and that His will really is done. Professions of loyalty to Christ without the deeds to make them come true are empty. In the continued vigor of Augsburg and Oak Grove we face the true test of our prayer for the coming of God’s Kingdom. They are the heart of the Church, send- ing out pastors, missionaries, leaders of strong Chris- tian conviction. As they are able to do their task, God’s Kingdom grows and flourishes. As they fail God’s King- dom fails, and the light of the Gospel becomes dim. Luther rightly says: “As dear as the Gospel is to us so urgently let us build our schools." Sincerity is to speak as we think. to do as we pretend and profess, to perform and make good what we promise, and really to be what we seem and appear to be. As Christians we think that we must have Christian schools, we say so and, at congregational meetings and annual conventions, we vote that our Christian schools shall be supported and strengthened in their great work for Christ and His Church. We have promised to do our part. Now we are called upon to fulfill that promise by gifts of love and thanksgiving to our schools. Love never asks: How much must I do. but; How much can I do. We believe in schools; we love these schools. Faith is a hand that receives; love is a. hand that gives. According to our faith, we take to ourselves benefits from these institu- tions; according to love we give to their support. We sincerely believe in the work of these schools. They are our schools, established to meet the wants of our children. There can be no true education without the Christian religion, and Augsburg and Oak Grove aim to teach the Christian religion and all the subjects in the light of God's Word. If we sincerely believe this, we must send our boys and girls to these schools, support them with liberal gifts and maintain them as Christian schools in the best sense of the word. Does It Pay Does it pay to support our Christian institutions? Sometimes We hear the (-mnplnint, “We can not raise sufficient money to pay the current expenses of our local church. Why should we send money away when we need it so sorely at home?" This is n business-like way of reasoning. no doubt. But God's ways are not always our ways, and his thoughts are not our thoughts, as the fol- lowing story will show. It happened within our own Lutheran Free Church. Some thirty odd years ago, in a city in Minnesota, there lived a shiftless father and a negligent mother. They had three children. two boys and a girl, who grew up on the streets, never experiencing the joy of a real home. The mother finally divorced her husband. who was glad to give the children away. One of our pastors pitied the children. Due to neglect the elder boy had become a cripple. took them into his own home and cared for them. This led in a short while to the founding of one of our orphanages, The Christian atmosphere of the new surroundings had a transforming where the three children found a home. effect upon them; their young hearts responded readily to the gentle but firm discipline of a Christian matron. In time the elder boy was helped through Augsburg Academy. After taking a business course he passed the civil service examinations and shortly obtained a posi- tion with the government in Washington, D. C. The younger boy was likewise sent to Augsburg. Largely working his own way, he graduated from the Academy, then from the College, and finally from the Theological Seminary. He was ordained and took up work as an assistant pastor in one of our largest cities. He has since been engaged in home missionary work, for which he has developed a genius. He goes in among the un- churched masses and through his sincerity and lovable character wins their hearts. Before long he succeeds in rallying them around Christian work, and a congregation is organized. When it has become somewhat established, a minister is secured for them. and our friend moves on to another unchurched district, where the same procedure is repeated. He already has three such congregations to his credit. There is nothing outstanding about the man so far as appearance is concerned. He is not a brilliant speaker. His education is not exceptional. All his life he will suf- fer from certain handicaps due to neglected training in early childhood. But his heart is afire for God and like Paul of old he feels indebted to both Jew and Gentile. How many erring souls, adrift in the far country, shall be brought back to the Father’s house through his devoted ministry, only God's great day shall reveal. his was reared in our Christian schools.—Does it pay'.’ The devil’s wrecking plants are working overtime, de- stroying souls faster than the church can save and rebuild them. Is it good Christian economy to stint those institu- tions which are the most important in carrying on the work of salvaging souls? AUGSBURG COLLEGE ARCHIVES Show less

Show more4 JUBILEE BULLETIN colonized Bella Coola, organizing the Augsburg Norwegian Lutheran congregation at Hagens- borg, June 9, 1895, with 75 members. The Reverend E. M. Hanson travelled 3000 miles thru Saskatchewan and Alberta in the sum- mer of 1900, with the Reverend A. G. Lee, and reached Banfl', the Rocky Mountain Park of Ca- nada, preaching as they went to early settlers. Among other places they called at Wetaskiwin and Edmonton, Alberta, preaching the gospel for the first time in the Norwegian language at Strathcona, now South Edmonton. The story of this missionary tour of the two Augsburgians printed in “Folkebladet” in the autumn of 1900 proved to be an “eye opener" to many who were thus informed about the possibilities of the Cana- . diurWeet andimeonsequenee came to seek a home here. Today there are 40 Lutheran Free Church Congregations in Canada served by 9 pastors, with an aggregate membership and adherents of no less than 5000. The moral and material asset of this "salt of the earth" is incalculable. CANADIAN YOUTHS ATTEND OUR SCHOOLS Western Canada has felt the blessings of our church schools especially, for their graduates fol- lowed closely the tide of Norwegian immigration, both from Norway and from the United States. The Prairie Provinces watched thousands of Norwegian immigrants forming settlements in the country while other thousands took up work in the cities and mining centres. Among these, hundreds looked to Augsburg Seminary and Oak Grove Seminary in more than one way. Some looked for ministers and teachers while others looked to them for a Christian education for their boys and girls. There have been nineteen students in the College Department at Augsburg for the last five years who have come from Canada and five in the Theological Department during the same period. Girls from Canada have received high school education at Oak Grove and have re- turned to Canada and here entered upon a broader sphere of service either as teachers or as house- wives. THE Noam AIM or OUR Scnoons The Augsburg Seminary and the Oak Grove Seminary owe their existence to the determina- tion of their founders that the young men and women making up their student body should lack none of the educational advantages of students in secular schools, but should in addition have the great advantage of an impartial, unbiased Chris- tian view of life, and as far as it may be said to be humanly possible, a true Christian experience as well. To be more accurate: to educate ministers, missionaries, teachers, church workers, honest, broadminded, capable and well-informed citizens of any State, Province or Country where they might choose to go after school days. WHY Cnunenas MUST SUPPORT THE SCHOOLS In this noble aim lie both the strength and the weakness of such institutions. They cannot be self-supporting in the accepted meaning Of the term—unless, of course, a substantial Endowment Fund be placed at their disposal. Such a Fund is nowin the‘process of being accumulated so far as Augsburg is concerned. But it is yet way below the needs. Meanwhile, if the cost of operation should be charged up entirely to the students, the cost of attendance would be so high that very, very few young men and women among us would be rich enough to pay tuition and other fees the first month of attendance. The difference between the tuition charges and other incomes from students (the tuition now is $75.00 a season) and operation costs must be made up by voluntary contributions. When such contributions do not keep step with running ex- penses, necessary development and expansions (always decided upon by the annual meeting of the Church), upkeep, standardization of courses, and present high cost of everything (always fixed by forces that our schools cannot control) debt is the inevitable outcome. Although debt is in some cases better than death, it must now be said with emphasis and frankness: debt accumulating on Christian schools is detrimental to their reputa- tion and service, un-Christian in spirit and fact, and with known facts before us, in this case un- necessary and unjustifiable any longer. Our Free Church people in Canada have shown their appreciation for what was done by support- ing our general work in the past. They have given to our missions and to our schools. They have met our emissaries with the utmost cordiality. They have sent a number of their young people to be educated in Augsburg Seminary and Oak Grove. Surely. our brethren in Canada will not fail us now in our effort to make these institutions financially solvent and educationally efllcient. AUGSBURG CC LLECE ARCHIVES Show less

Anderson Focus on Augsburg: A Portrait-of Continuity and Change Once again I face the pleasurable but difficult task of summarizing the year's activities of your college in a few words. These comments will only highlight some selected items, a series of snapshots rather than a motion picture of the year. More detailed information can be obtained by reviewing earlier issues of Augsburg College Now or by writing to the college. As with any living organism, the story of Augsburg College is one of continuity and change. Our history — as a quality liberal arts college with a strong church tie, of modest size and financial resources. located in the heart of a great metropolitan center —- provides both the context of our efforts and the basic direction for the future. At the same time many things are new. \Ne do not have the luxury of living in the past. This report will outline some new challenges and opportunities and how we are responding. Focus 1981-1982 People, Programs and Finances Augsburg exists to provide quality opportunities for learning and growth to the young and old persons who come to us. It has been a good. a productive year. The only thing wrong with our students is that there are fewer of them than we wish. Inflation has driven up our costs and charges and at the same time student financial support from state and federal government sources has decreased. Since our student body is not relatively affluent, this combination led some students to transfer to state-subsidized educational institutions last year. A good education is certainly possible in the public system. but we believe firmly that it is not the same as the private education at Augsburg College. The accompanying charts illustrate changes in enrollment and financial aid. In 1981-1982, despite a smaller enrollment, the college spent more than ever before for financial aid to students as the government support was cut. The most important single fact about our fine faculty this year is the continued positive impact of the Faculty Development Program funded by the Bush Foundation. This is a three~year effort and we have benefited a great deal already. On the staff and administrative side there have been some changes that will be important to us. We have a tax and estate planning expert who lives in Arizona and also a deferred giving specialist to take up the slack left by Sig Hjelmeland's retirement. Both are working on a consultant basis. Those of you who would like to explore these areas should contact the college. We have also engaged a professional firm to conduct a market survey so that we may know our constituent groups better and thus move to serve you more effectively. One of our regents, recently retired from the corporate world. is assisting the president on a volunteer basis. Significant ne“ efforts in our program areas include the Weekend College. a program in East and Southeast Asian Studies. a Humanities Major. a minor in Special Education. a Center for Global Seriice and Education — and a computer science emphasis to meet clearh expressed student needs. Academic departments. beginning nith Business Administration and Economics. are being reviewed for possible imprmements. Augsburg Weekend College is an excellent example of non effort in academic programming and communin ser\ice. This offering is designed to enable persons who are emplowd or OIl’lCHHsL’ occupied during regular school hours to pursue an academic degree or to simph engage in advanced personal study. Classes are on alternate weekends. We hoped for an initial enrollment of around 50 students: 100 persons are taking Weekend College classes. We continue to take our responsibility to the community seriously. Our desires to serve the congregations of the church are finding significant expression through the Office of Church Relations. now in a second year of operation. The financial picture for the year has both bright and dark colors, We have finished another year in the black, although the operating budget had to be adjusted due to our efforts to help students take up some of the slack caused by shifts in financial aid from the government, both state and federal. We also had a slight decline in enrollment and this affected our income. A balanced budget in this context Administration Leadership is a real accomplishment.

Scholarship winners, families and donors celebrate academic excellence at the annual Scholarship Recognition dinner. 0 The excitement and vitality of a metropolitan center blend with the smallness and intimacy of the Augsburg campus. The Quad provides an informal setting for students, faculty and staff. 0 As a Christian campus, a wide range of religious expression and participation is embraced. Augsburg is based on the belief that the world is God's entrusted to us for care. exploration and understanding 0 For more than 100 years, Augsburg College has emphasized intellectual freedom in the search for knowledge, responsiveness to the needs of society and the world and preparation of students for service and leadership in church and society. Commencement is a time of celebration in the acknowledgment of completion and awareness of just beginning. 0 Fostering close friendships and encouraging lasting relationships is part of the private, liberal arts college environment. Friends are an integral part of the college experience. 0 Community leaders provide a wealth of expertise by serving on the Board of Regents. Clayton LeFevere, on the left, retired this summer after 12 years as a regent with 10 of those years as chairman. O The academic program provides opportunities for a broad background in a variety of subject areas as well as personal development. During this year, a computer science minor was added to the curriculum. 0 The quality of Augsburg’s education is enriched by the people, culture and educational resources provided by its location. The college is also aware of a responsibility to contribute to the larger community. Providing skyways and tunnels has made the Augsburg campus accessible for students and community. 0 Participation in campus events and organizations broadens a student's college experience. In the winning tradition, Augsburg College captured the 1982 NAIA National Ice Hockey title. ‘gUTH To °° + "s 3 <5 E z .y 05 cc 4%“ J‘ V, 0 aka CoLfio Augsburg College 731 21st Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55454 A College of The American Lutheran Church Show less

Providing a quality, private liberal arts education without regard to ‘ status Is a ellort at ‘ a College. In 1981-1982, more than 85 percent at " , g 1 Enrollment presents a challenge for at least three reasons: 1. There are fewer young people in the traditional college age group (18-22). This decline willcontinue at least until 1991,and must be offset in our college by programs for non-traditional students. for example Weekend College, and by a serious effort to get a larger share of the traditional pool than was the case in the past. 2. Inflation has driven costs and charges to unprecedented heights. We are making every effort to cut costs and curtail unnecessary expenditures so that our students can afford the quality education Augsburg offers 3. Changes and rumors of changes in financial aid have hit our students very heavily because so many are dependent on financial aid to complete their education. We have the highest percentage of students eligible for aid in the state of Minnesota, and in the whole college system of The American Lutheran Church. We must find additional, non- governmental money for student support, unless we wish to change Augsburg's traditional stance and assert that only affluent persons should have access to our college. In the face of the immediate challenges we intend to do a number of things: 1. To improve the quality of our offerings while maintaining a reasonable and advantageous faculty-student ratio; 2. To make admissions an all—college effort rather than resting the responsibility only upon six counselors and a few coaches; 3. To increase markedly our gift program and move to a major fund drive which will concentrate upon student aid and endowment. You have a central part in these efforts. We have already begun to involve alumni and friends in our admissions and interpretation efforts. Some of you have agreed to work with the TAAP Program. All of you can assist by telling us of prospective students. contacting such students yourselves. and being open about your ties to Augsburg. Tell your friends, tell your pastors. tell prospective students. The days when the college could afford to be quietly standoffish and almost secretive have passed. We need to get the word out. Your participation in the Annual Fund has been well above national averages, but why should we be content with this sort of comparison? If 10,000 alumni gave an average of 5100 it would mean a million dollars a year! When you are contacted for the Annual Fund or for any other college fund program, please seriously consider a positive response. if we did not need you in order to continue this ministry, we certainly would not ask. This has been a "good news. bad news year." The students who continue to come to us with their glorious possibilities for growth, our sense of institutional vocation or calling to be a place of service to the church and the community, and your continued support and prayers make problems into opponunities, and challenges into moments of grace and victory. Thank you all for the year; we look forward to the next one in your company. Clue/W Charles S.
