True to the old Viking spirit in them, the men of Augsburg are always keenly interested in athletics and competitive games. However, due to the lack of a larger campus, our activities have been limited to the games and exercises usually found in a gymnayunm Our gymnasium is spacious, and affords room for a good basketball floor. In this sport we have always had teams of comparative collegiate caliber, and each season has found us at the “long end" of the score. Thorough instruction in gymnastics has resulted in that several of our men have received appointments from the city park board as instructors in the parks. We are very fortunate in having the privilege of using Longfellow field for base- baH pracfice and ganufi. VVe have had several good teanw; but on account of our short spring term. it is well—nigh impossible to develop a team which would be of credit to this school. Individual "stars" are very numerous and feats of big league caliber are performed daily upon our little lot; but a machine—like combination is still an affair of the future. Murphy Square is at our disposal for tennis. and our racket men may be seen there any time during the fall and spring months. Recently a tennis. club has been organized and a cup will be awarded to the most “nifty” wielder of the racket. The basket-ball team of l9l4-l5 was undoubtedly the most successful basket-ball team Augsburg has ever had. Of the ten games played, Augsburg won nine, losing only to the sturdy German tribe from St. Paul, Luther Seminary. Concordia defeated Luther twice. Augsburg defeated Concordia twice. Investigators have failed to find the reason for Augsburg's defeat at the hands of the St. Paul five, and we must consider h an open quesfion. This year's basket—ball team has labored under many difficulties; but in spite of this fact, we have made a creditable showing. Early in the season we lost two of our best players, Tingelstad and Nesheim. and Quanbeck was also out of the game for some time on account of injuries received in a practice game. Some of the games were cancelled for this reason, and only seven games were played. Of these Augsburg won six. Considerable credit must be given to our second team as a very important factor in bringing about our team's success. Throughout the season they have been hardy fighters and have often given the first team a “close rub.n In the preliminaries we have had the opportunity of witnessing many spectacular plays and shots, and undoubtedly our first squad next season will contain a number of this year’s second string men. One of the recent athletic organizations on our campus is the Tennis Club. For a couple of seasons there has been a growing interest in the game and there are prospects that it will become as prominent as the other branches of athletics. There had been a growing desire for some organization, and, accordingly, several of the players got to- gether and organized. This is the first season of the club’s existence and as soon as the conditions permit, practice will commence in earnest. It is rather doubtful whether any match games will be played with outside teams this spring; but this will be the pur- pose of the club in the coming seasons. Interest in gymnastics at Augsburg has increased a great deal since our instructors have come into contact with work in the local Y. M. C. A., and also after they have served as instructors in the city parks. New “stunts” and exercises have been learned from time to time, and thus interest has been very keen in order to keep up with the other organizations. In the fall of 1914, our first "gym" team was organized, and in Feb- ruary, l9l5, we gave our first exhibition. This exhibition consisted of a large number of exercises and some apparatus work; besides a few tumbling “stunts”. The feature of the evening was the grand pillow-fight. in which Arthur Olson came out victorious. As a compensation for the multitudinous blows which were inflicted upon him, he received a SWeater. At the time of this writing, we have not as yet given this season's exhibition; but no doubt it will take place some time in the near future. ——60-— 1‘ 17,171.: yIIiv‘fIiiili/‘i‘nfi'it/Ii. innit/mums.“ .m await/111:).

It has during that period of time made a singular record of service to the people of the North that took up their abode in this land of freedom. Founded in the early pioneer days of our people in America. Augsburg adopted the ideals of the American governmental principle of “a free people in a free land," and has thru well- nigh half a century striven to extend and to propagate this ideal as applied also to church. With the banner words “a free church for a free people in a free land," its founders strove to liberate the Christian congregation. as well as each Christian indi- vidual, from the fetters of hierarchic ecclesiasticism and high-churchism. This has not been done unopposed, however. Augsburg has been constant, alive and true to its first principles, and consequently misunderstood and repeatedly bitterly assailed. History has been made and written, but the mention of Augsburg implies nothing less today than at the time of its pioneer days, and its ideals are loved and cher- ished today by thousands of our people scattered thruout the length and breadth of our land. .... .. For recognition in the academic and educational world, a school's moral influence and Christian ideals are least reckoned with. That Augsburg and kindred schools are recognized, is not because of the standard of their own ideals, but rather in spite of them. Nor is it the number of students (and Augsburg has not been blessed with great numbers of students), but it is rather the academic ability of these and of the teaching force. and the success of its alumni in practical fields afterwards, that bring about this desired recognition. Augsburg has. however, for a long time enjoyed such recognition as being one of the foremost among the institutions of learning of its own class, and one whose alumni are among the most successful in almost every field of activity. During the forty—seven years of its academic existence, Augsburg has graduated 635 students. Of these 393 have graduated from the theological department, and have exerted great influence in our country thru their gospel ministry. Its 241 college grad- uates have chosen. not only the ministry, but a great number have entered into almost every profession thinkable. Among Augsburg’s Alumni are men of front rank promi- nence also in the medical, the scientific, the juridic. the political. the educational and the agricultural pursuits. And wherever Alumni af Augsburg are located, their moral influence is felt, due to the inspiration of the tenets of moral ideals received, as taught them during their growth under the care of their Alma Mater. “Augsburgers are the world over." This we consider very significant, and have therefore thru the leaves of the “AUGSBURGIAN” dedicated several pages of pictures of Augsburgers in their many capacities thruout the world. The reader will find such from the different parts of the United States and Canada. China, Madagascar, Greece, Palestine, Germany, France, Norway and Denmark. May therefore the pages devoted to the Alumni and this contribution as a whole, bring back to you, dear reader. fond associations and reminiscences from the good old days that you spent within the academy halls of your Alma Mater; may they also con- tribute to making you a better Augsburger and a better Alumnus. alive and true to the principles, the ideals and interests of the institution that nurtured you. mlu'm/m‘t-Im «at-minus. .m. m} MUM/AI] _(,1__ 1m mi hm'Itlrmitmvim-Mi=mi‘lm\‘}xii‘fili‘[fir/mi»Ziiiirii‘itli‘hmid/minMMvhliffili'ilii-illi‘iwi’itii hhi=7ifi'irii‘imi>imi“iriivimi‘hiiVitfi‘iili‘iui‘itii-iibw :I Ni KIN: .IY-[Ii-I a‘i‘.‘ NI )YJIYI J1 .

Han hadde paa sig saa mange forskjellige gj¢remaal i sam- fundets tjeneste. at han maatte ha nogen hjcelp for at komme igjennem med det altsam— men.

"The Augsburgian," I was strongly tempted to send him a few sheets of commas, question marks. and periods and tell him to fill in with words to his own satis- faction. But following the good old rule to count a hundred before doing anything rash, I presently found myself in a more accommodating mood. It is. however, with considerable hesitancy and some embarrassment that I make my appearance in the select company of the Augsburgians. I imagine I feel something like a minister's son in a millionaires’ club. Somebody who evidently got me mixed with a relative of Mark Twain hinted that this writing be humorous. No hint was ever more misplaced, for be it known by these words that humor is the one element in my mental makeup that is entirely lacking. It is one of Nature's caprices thus to deprive some of her children of a most valuable asset to their mental equipment. For in spite of many new teachings and strange theories to the contrary, I am still of the opinion that such characteristics are inherited, not acquired. Farming is the genial occupation of living in the country and raising. for pleasure or profit. corn and smaller grains, potatoes and various kinds of roots and herbs; horses. cattle. hogs and sheep, and numerous other quadrupeds; fowls and other winged crea- tures; also senators, governors, and presidents. This definition of farming is entirely original and is the result of practical knowl- edge gained in the field of experience, and cannot be found in any dictionary or encyclo- pedia yet published. I shall now proceed to relate to you some of the pleasures of farming and the de- lights of outdoor country life. And this is no joke. for I am not in a mood for joking, even if such a thing were possible with me. But now, why. do you suppose. I, who was free to choose any occupation. vocation or avocation in the world, from street- cleaner to president of the United States, should choose this one, farming? Is it not the best evidence in the world that of all the vocations open to the sons of free America this is the best one? When the doctor takes his own medicine. he proves his faith in his own preparation. Life and living in our time has become to a great extent artificial. some "hair— brained" reformers have from time to time raised a cry of "back to Nature." Such of course “knew not whereof they spoke"; because the present social organization has reached such a stage that any radical digression from its present course is without the pale of possibility. But now I fear I am straying beyond the limits of the subject before me. It will perhaps surprise some of you whose knowledge is mostly theoretical (and by this I do not in any way intend to reflect on the value. may even the superiority of theo- retical knowledge) to learn that the farmer is the “head of the corner" in our present _(,7_ glllllllllilllllIIIll1lIIIll|||lllllllllllllillllllllIllllllllllllllllllllHllll[Illlllllllllll[IIIIHIIHHIHllllllllllllllllllllHIIIIHIIIIllllllHIIHIIIllllll[llllllllllllllllllllHIIHHIIHlllllllllllllllHIIHlllllillllllllllllllllllllllHIIIIllllllllllllllllllllll||||1[IllllHIIIlNIHllllHIIIHIIIHIIIIHlIIIHHIIIHIIIHlllllllllllllllE Show less

It is not neces— sary, however, to such as you, dear readers; for the veracity of my statement will read- ily appear to you who are students of conditions, as well as of books. But it is not our importance that makes the farm the best place in the world to live on. Nor is it the big returns in dollars and cents on capital and labor invested that makes the life on a farm a joy. No, none of these are the real attractions of the farm. What it is, urban dwellers know nothing of, except in -a most vague and distorted man- ner. It is the independence, the freedom, the pure air, the song of the birds, the lowing of the herds, the wide fields or the deep forests,———in short. it is the touch of Nature. These are true attractions and such as make the farm a good place on which to be; these are surroundings that make men; these are conditions from which the nation is drawing fresh blood. Yet, the farmer of to-day lives not on pure air and wide fields alone; he is wide awake and abreast of his times. He knows what is going on in the world about him. Every day he enjoys the latest news; he knows of the progress of the war, the latest wrinkle in the Lusitania affair, the most recent death or capture of Villa, of the Allies’ offensive that starts every spring, of a Congress that says. "Yes, yes, Mister Wilson," of what Bryan and Roosevelt will do, the last turn of the Preparedness fad, and other things too numerous to mention. Then perhaps he turns his attention to economics; he knOWS the commercial world and something about the money market, or perhaps he pays some attention also to international questions and so on; and this is merely a sug- gestion of the farmer's mental menu. The man with a two foot space around his house, with a ten by thirty-two back- yard, with a street for a front view and a smoke and dirtladen atmosphere for his inspira- tion, ought to take a real vacation from his city confinement and spend it on a real farm and enjoy the difference. Still, I am free to assert, that man has become artificial to such an extent that there are many who would prefer the cooped-up, unsanitary condi- tions of the city to the freedom of the rural community,———just as a bird can be kept in a cage so long that it does not want to leave it. But the farmer has not beaten his wings against the bars of a cage and he knows how to live out in the open. Every day, in field or forest, among his stock and his fowl, the farmer is in close contact with nature. and when the trees are budding and the fields are sprouting, he hears and knOWs the whisperings of Nature as she coaxes her wards to don that luxurious garb to which not even Solomon in all his glory could be compared. With his telephone, his automobile, his daily mail and other conveniences, of which his city brother did not dream a few short years ago, the farmer is not an isolated drudge, but a member of a cosmopolitan community, a world citizen. But with all this he has not sacrificed the essentials of that free and natural existence which ought to be the birth-right of every man and woman. Now, if you are a stranger to the pleasant sensations of rural life, these words will be to you a mere suggestion of the real thing; but if you will come out to my farm, “somewhere in the United States,” I shall be glad to give you some practical demonstra- tions, and even tho you be from Missouri, you shall be welcome. 1.

E. love the school where we belong; We love to sing its praise. And if the melody of song May hearts to rapture raise, Let Augsburg where it now doth stand, And Augsburg in our love, Resouncl in songs on every hand, In thanks to Him above. We sing of those of former days, With thankful hearts we sing, Because they wrought in wondrous ways The love of God to bring, To bring His love and wisdom down To every seeking soul. In joyful praise let music sound And up to heaven roll! We sing of all who now belong To Augsburg’s brotherhood; May they stand always firm and strong Where those before them stood! Let Augsburg still in strength remain, When we our way have trod. Let sound for aye the joyous strain Of thankful praise to God! P. A.
