Fossnu THE DIAL 1929 FTER the “Echo” was converted into a newspaper a few years ago, a need was felt for a literary magazine at Augsburg. In the fall of 1928 definite steps were taken to meet that need. A convocation of all the literary societies at school decided, after careful deliberation, to publish a literary magazine. As a result the first issue of “The Dial” appeared in the spring of 1929. “The Dial” is controlled and financed by the literary societies of Augsburg. Each member of the different organizations pledges himself to dispose of two copies of each issue. The staff of the magazine is elected by a convocation of all the societies, from a list of candidates proposed by a nominating committee. A copy of the first “Dial” was sent to all the alumni of Augsburg and to all high schools in Minnesota. By circulating a literary magazine an effective means of advertizing Augsburg was started. @MGW Sing .ng Show less

It has already been quite well established and is now beyond the experimental stage. “The Dial” is published twice a year. All college students and alumni are eligible to contribute articles to it. From all the material submitted the stall selects and publishes what, in its opinion, is best. As great a variety as possible is sought. Essays, short stories, poems, and descriptive sketches are found in the magazine. So far “The Dial” has had sixteen pages. As the student body grows and as the circulation becomes larger, the size of the magazine will be increased. In the magazine for this year appeared articles from many different students. By giving all students with literary ability an opportunity to have their writings printed, “The Dial” encouraged them to produce the best they were capable of. @fifilfi Sixty-Ono Show less

The present constitution of the Student Society was adopted a few years ago. The plan of having the student body regulate the different activities through a board of directors has proved very practical. This year the Student Society has, through the director of religious activities, sponsored several series of evangelistic meetings. Mission meetings have been con- ducted down town every week. Several delegates from the student body were sent to the annual convention of the Young People’s Federation of the Free Church at La Crosse, Wisconsin. The many other activities—social, athletic, and forensic have all been taken care of through the diiierent members of the Board of Directors. @fififit Sivly-Thrce Show less

The purpose of this organization is to broaden the members’ interests and knowledge of life through general study, observation, and discussion. Membership in the society is very restricted. Only freshmen are eligible who have maintained a general average of B. In keeping with the aims of the Round Table, the members have taken tours to various places of interest, as well as attended dramatic presentations of plays which have previously been studied and discussed. Discussions this past year have centered on the drama. The following plays have been studied: O’Neill: “The Emperor Mr. Jones,” “The Hairy Ape,” “Anna Christie,” “Strange Interlude.” Ibsen: “Peer Gynt,” “Ghosts,” “Brand,” “Hedda Gabbler,” “The Wild Duck,” “Doll’s House.” Trips that have been made and discussions over coflee cups or around the kitchen table have bound this group very closely together. They will remain in the minds of the members as among the most cherished of college memories. Wfiiflk Six! y-Fiuc Show less

The purpose of the Men’s Society is, as stated in the constitution, “to foster a closer bond of fellowship, promote the general welfare, and promulgate the Chris- tian ideals of our school.” All men who enter Augsburg Academy, College, or Seminary automatically become members of the society. The Men’s Society functioned before January 30 without a constitution and suc- ceeded in furnishing a much-needed lounge and reception room in Old Main at a considerable cost. It also sponsored a lecture on Alaska, which was presented by Mr. 0. K. Kverne, lecturer and traveler. The first officers of the Augsburgian Men‘s Society were: Norman Anderson, Ernest Larson, and Otto Rortvedt, who held the oliices of president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer, respectively. @fiflfi Seventy-One Show less

Hermunslia MUSIC CLUB MONG the students at Augsburg there are many who are interested in music and its various phases. This year all these students organized a music club, Miss Jennie Skurdalsvold and Miss Evelyn Hansen acting as advisers. As there is no limitation in the membership, any student who wishes to broaden his knowledge of music may join the club. The program of the club is so arranged that at each meeting a new phrase of music is discussed and illustrated. In this way the students are brought into contact with more types of music than they would be in an ordinary class. Each member has an opportunity to contribute anything of interest to the discussions that are held. The outstanding work of the year was the sponsoring of an illustrated lecture on the opera, by Mrs. Carlyle Scott. The operas given this year formed the center of her lecture. Her talk was especially interesting and valuable to the many students who later heard these operas at the auditorium. @MGK Seventy-Three Show less
