Show moreWHY AUGSBURG? Augsburg's location is one of its primary recruiting aids. Belying the notion of the college professor pining for an Ivory Tower in a bucolic setting. the new teacher at Augsburg often cites the urban setting of the college. the cultural advantages offered in a large metropolitan center. the proximity of the University of Minnesota as features which led him to Augsburg. The opportunity to pursue an advanced degree of postdoctoral work, is often an important factor in determining a person's preference for academic appointment. With the University of Minnesota practically on our northern boundary the advantage is obvious. Besides urban location as an attraction to prospective faculty is the reputation Augsburg has enjoyed as a school willing to devote its various resources to first year at Augsburg put it: There was a real commitment on the part of Augsburg to help in the area of urban problems. The college had made up its mind to do something about the problems and not just talk about them. Many other attractions. some intrinsic to Augsburg, some personal feelings of those involved. convince good people to seek positions on the college faculty. Among these would be Augsburg's identification with Christian values, a close student-teacher relationship and the congenial rapport among the various academic departments. This last factor not only makes for pleasant working conditions but also provides opportunities for faculty members to broaden their intellectual interests and to helping solve urban problems.

He must be modest enough to admit of another viewpoint, but proud enough to propagate the truth of his discipline as he understands it. [I Augsburg is not premised on the research ethic, although research is essential to sound and lively teaching. Augsburg College does not require of its faculty publication proof of its competence, although such expression develops naturally from the situation of the teacherescholar. E] Augsburg does offer each faculty member the freedom to develop his own methods of instruction and to conceive the material content for his course within the departmental structure. Not only is the instructor encouraged to be creative and innovative, the school insists upon it. Objective inquiry, rational persuasion, love of learning for its own sake: considering these norms as basic and rigid teacher qualifications, Augsburg is willing to let the paths of learning wind where they may. Having it any other way would make Augsburg College a contradiction At stake is the integrity of both student and teacher. WHERE DO MEMBERS OF THE AUGSBURG FACULTY COME FROM? They come from other colleges and universities. Generally, a teacher from another school will have evinced an interest in Augsburg, and the school will then have felt free to negotiate for his services. [l They come from graduate schools, newly—minted M.A.'s and Ph.D.‘s. The competition for these prospective teachers is fierce, especially for those with outstanding academic records and teaching experience on a college level, D They come through the Cooperative College Registry, a clearing house for educators seeking new positions and for institutions looking for new faculty. El They come through personal contacts made by present faculty and administrators or as recommended by alumni and friends aware of particular needs.

Show moreUp of the count 0 There‘is definitely something to say about the “school of hard knocks," if indeed the graduate of that time-honored institution has learned to roll with the punches According to Dr. Thomas Holman, clinical psychologist at Augsburg, too often in the formal but fast—paced process of higher education students get knocked for a loop, and the results are often permanent and tragic. In the past, emotional problems have often gone unnoticed until they were reflected in the students academic performance or in a joust with the dean. I] In the proposed Center for Student Development, Augsburg College hopes to assist in the growth and development of students as whole human beings. The Center for Student Development is conceived as an agency to discover these problems before they surface in the obvious ways and to prepare as best it can, the students as responsible and mature adults for encounter with the “real” world. [I Coordination of a campus-wide counseling effort will be the primary task of the Center. The regular guidance and counseling sewices will continue on both a group and an individual basis, but the Center will attempt to broaden these efforts by including those other members of the Augsburg staff who play occasional roles as counselors of students. Student counselors and faculty advisors will be asked to cooperate in aiding total student development. Such pooling of insights will be directed at the root causes of problems rather than at merely treating symptoms. El in addition, the campus pastor will serve as a pastoral counselor with home base at the Center. The campus pastor will continue to become, it is hoped, a welcome participant in a wide variety of college and student activities. Students, particularly freshmen, are “at home” with a pastoral relationship, and will benefit from his moral and religious support. El One staff member of the Center for Student Development will be assigned the specific role of director of freshman counseling. He will work primarily on personal orientation programs. The director of freshman counseling will call upon student counselors and faculty advisors to assist him in evaluating student progress and in advising courses of study as well as methods of personal development outside the academic realm. C] A special skills counselor will work with students who have apparent academic shortcomings or who are exhibiting a level of reading and writing competence not consistent with a fruitful college experience. The special Ekiills counselor will work jointly with the Center and the Department of ng is . [3 Programs of the guidance and counseling staff under Dr. Holman’s direction have been utilized by steadily increasing numbers of students each year. Plans for this coming year call for a much more extensive guidance-counseling program through the medium of the proposed Center for Student Development. El important to the concept of the Center is the belief that students need not have failed a course or lost their faith in order to seek professional and concerned help. The Center for Student Development will attempt, rather, to be a positive force in the creation of a proper atmosphere for learning and personal growth. A climate for maturity should pervade the campus. The student at Augsburg should be convinced that a deep interest in his personal well-being is at the heart of the college’s purpose. Show less

Graduation was held in Melby Hall and was honored by the presence of two distinguished speakers. Dr. Fredrik A, Schiotz, president of the American Lutheran Church, presented the sermon and former Vice-President Hubert Humphrey gave the commencement address THROUGH TRUTH TO FREEDOM Dr. Fredrik A. Schiotz, president of the American Lutheran Church, delivered the baccalaureate sermon to Augsburg's graduating seniors. in his address he crted the theme of Augsburg's Centennial Year — “Through Truth to Freedom." More importantly, as he referred to his audience as a "worshipping community," Dr, Schiotz brought attention to the ultimate author of the theme, Jesus Christ. 3 The full context of those words recorded in the Gospel according to St. John gives a broader meaning to the phrase and to its application to today's world in general and to Augsburg College in particular, Dr. Schiotz explained: Jesus said three things to His disciples: “if you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples, And you will know the truth, And the truth Will make you free, " The kinds of freedom emanating from these words of the Lord provided Dr. Schiotz the directives for his eloquent address to the Augsburg graduates. “inner freedom to choose responsibility in any given set of circumstances . . It is freedom to walk in good works. It is freedom from ‘hang-ups’ that prevent our accepting responsibility. . . it is evident that in our own day Christ is freeing us to look beyond the Lutheran family [3 Dr Schiotz's sermon was characterized by his call fora “Christian freedom [which] cannot stop With a concern for the needs in our own country alone." [3 In ranging widely yet succinctly through this call for true charity toward others, Dr. Schiotz quoted Lady Jackson (Dr. Barbara Ward), Albert Schweitzer, Professor of international Economic Development at Columbia University, and held up as an example for his charitable efforts to students, Dr. Carl Lundquist, former Lutheran campus ministry pastor at the University of Minnesota. [:1 It would be fitting to close here with Dr. Schiotz's final words at the Augsburg baccalaureate services: “Through Truth to Freedom — for the individual and for the community of which he is a part. God grant that it may be said of Augsburg graduates that they do not share Pilate‘s confusion when he cynically asked, ‘What is truth?’ " Show less

Show moreO) C THE AUGSBURG COLLEGE During the summer of 1968, Augsburg Col- CRISIS COLONY PROGRAM lege undertook an experimental program in which approximately 20 college stu- dents, from a number of different colleges representing var- ious geographical sections and rural and urban settings, spent an eight-week period living and studying in one of the urban crisis areas in Minneapolis. The intent of the program was to afford the student the experience of living in such an environ- ment; learning how to communicate with the people living in the area, in order to better understand their needs and de— sires; cooperating with the people there in efforts designed to improve their living conditions and educational opportun- ities; and to earn academic credit through a study of some of the dynamics of an urban crisis center. The results were phenomenal. While the students reported a wide variety of personal experiences, all of them stress the uniqueness of the live-in experience. Because the experiment was so success- ful, it has been decided to repeat the effort in the spring term of 1969. Augsburg College, together with a number of other colleges in the area, is presently working on the development of a Center for Urban Studies, which will be in full operation sometime during the remainder of the 1968-69 academic year, and the summer of 1969. The Crisis Colony project is one experimental program considered to be most promising for incorporation into the regular program of the Center. The Crisis Colony will include both a live-in experience, and the opportunity to earn from 12 to 15 academic credits. Through offering academic credit, it will be possible for students to participate who otherwise could not afford the required time off from their regular academic pursuits. The Crisis Colony project will remain flexible and open to the opportunities that present them- selves in an experience of this sort. It is felt that the only way in which significant measures of the "feel" of liv- ing in an over-crowded urban area can be obtained is by liv- ing there long enough to begin to sense the fears and frus- trations of the daily lives of its residents. However, res- idents of ghetto areas resent what they term "curiosity o3. Show less

Show moreAUGSBURG COLLEGE DEVELOPMENT NEWSLETTER by Kenneth P ngerlle, Vice Presudem for Development SHORT TERM TRUST CAN PRO- Mr. David Packard, founder and president VIDE INCOME FOR AUGSBURG of Hewlett-Packard, and most recently in the news as the Deputy Defense Secre- tary, has received much publicity recently on the disposi- tion of the shares of his company should his nomination be confirmed. Mr. Packard proposes to place his shares in trust with the income from such shares going to specific educational and charitable institutions. A short term trust has been used by many in the past whose primary motivation was to help an educa- tional institution. For example, Dr. Land, the founder of the Polaroid Corporation, recently transferred one and one- half million shares of Polaroid stock to a three-year trust for the benefit of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. These shares had a market value in excess of 160 million dollars at the time of the transfer. The estimated yearly income to M.I.T. will be about $480,000. At the end of the three-year period, the shares of stock will be returned to Dr. Land. One does not have to be a millionaire to contribute by means of a short term trust. Any interested donor who may want to help Augsburg can do so in a similar way by placing shares of stock in an irrevocable trust for at least a two-year period. During the term of the trust the income would go to Augsburg and would not be taxable to the donor. At the end of the trust term the shares of stock would be returned to the donor. For more information on giving by means of a short term trust, please contact the Development Of- fice. .2. Show less

The problem of inadequate equipment is not new, but this year it is especial- ly acute. In past years, staff photogra- phers owned sufficient equipment to get along and inadequate budgets prevented the purchasing of very much in the way of cameras and lenses. This year the staff does not have enough equipment to operate since half the budget has already been allocated to supplies such as chemicals, film and paper. Augsburg's Student Soci- ety, which sets the budget, cannot pro- vide additional funds. Because of these factors, an appeal to the alumni for help is necessary. Your contributions will enable users of the darkroom to purchase the cameras and lenses which are needed to supply Centen— nial and other publications. This appeal to the alumni comes from two concerned students, photographer Dale Pederson and LaRhae Grindal, president of the Student Society. Your gift may be sent to the Alumni Office, but be sure to make a notation that it is designated for darkroom equip- ment. — AMENDMENT FOR ACTION A few years ago the Alumni Board of Directors was made up of six members. Because of increases in program and ac- tivities, it was felt that a larger num- ber of board members was essential, and through an appropriate amendment, the board was enlarged to twelve members. After much discussion and a look at what the alumni program of the future should undertake, the following amendment was formulated to be put up for approval at the Homecoming noon luncheon on Sat., Oct. 18: MOTION: It is moved that we enlarge the number of members on the Alumni Board of Directors from the present twelve mem- bers to twenty-one.
