Show more14 AUGSBURG mo “Then to side with Truth is noble when we share her wretched crust, Ere her cause bring fame and profit, and ’tis prosperous to be just; Then it is the brave man chooses while the coward stands aside.” Lowell brings out the fact that one who stands for what is right must be willing to stand alone and face ridicule and misunderstanding, but he may take courage in the conviction that God is on his side and that Truth will eventually win, for. as he says in “The Present Crisis”, “Truth forever on the scaffold. VVro'ng forever on the throne.— Yet that scaffold sways the future, and, behind the dim unknown, Standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above his own." Lowell looked upon Slavery as the worst sin of the day and called it the son of “brutish Force and Darkness”. Some of his most vehement poems were written against slavery, and Lowell can justly be called one of the greatest antislavery poets. One of his best antislavery poems is “Stanzas on Freedom” in which he calls upon the men and women of the North to help abolish slavery, and he says that as long as there is a slave in the land no one is wholly free, for anyone who does not become aroused to action when he hears of the suffering of his fellowmen is really a slave himself. This poem closes with the ringing words, “They are slaves who fear to speak For the fallen and the weak; They are slaves who will not choose Hatred, scoffing, and abuse, Rather than in silence shrink From the truth they needs must think; They are slaves who dare not be In the right with two or three.” .In spite of the prevalence of sin and seeming hopelessness of the fight for Righteousness, Lowell had a firm faith in the ultimate victory of Truth and Justice. And because he had a deep faith he had patience. In “A Glance Behind the Curtain” he says, “Truth is eternal. * * "' Her mirror is turned forward to reflect the promise of the future, not the past. He who would win the name of truly great must understand his own age and the next.” And again, “The future works out great men’s purposes.” Lowell believed in the dreams of youth, for he said in this same poem, “I find youth’s dreams are but the fluttering Of those strong wings whereon the soul shall soar In after time to win a starry throne," and in “Columbus” he says. “To have greatly dreamed precludes low Show less

Alone to heaven’s high will we bow, Trusting in Him who wisely discerning, Numbers our days, then lovingly leads us Thru the Shadows of Death to glorious life! Alone in Him we find that boundless love Which soothes with perfect peace our aching hearts. His name be praised! To bear the sorrows dark, We strengthened are! Once more at rest within! The everlasting arms enfold! His name be praised! E DI To R IA L. ONE THING 0R ANOTHER. This heading may seem rather indefinite. Well, it is. But the in- definiteness of these words, as I heard them in a recent conversation, gave rise to some ideas, which I shall attempt, with some degree of de- finiteness, to pass on to my readers. If I be definite enough, in intro- ducing these ideas, so as to excite your interest in considering the inde- finite, I shall feel satisfied that I have accomplished my purpose in this writing. One thing or another! Something or other! How vague! What indecision there must be in the mind of the person who utters these words! Yet, in the case of most people, there is hardly a day that passes but that we speak or hear spoken some such statement. Who has not overheard a contemplative conversation similar to this: “Where are you going?” "No place. Do you want to go along?" “Surely!” Judg- ing from such enlightened conversation we may well ask where the con- scious aim is. Does such talk denote that the speakers possess a definite purpose? And this spirit of indecision not only characterizes our manner of doing the minor tasks of our daily life, but it makes manifest its in- fluence when weightier matters are being considered. “What are you doing this evening?” “I don’t know.” Or, “What are your plans for next year?” “I haven’t thought of that yet.” Should we let ourselves be blown about by a spirit of indefinitencss? How about it? Are we going to do one thing, or shall we be doing an- other? Show less

They had games scheduled with Minnehaha Academy and some second teams, but were unable to play. The second team has some very good performers. Ted Nydahl is a good shot at forward. his team work is very good. Morten- sen also plays a steady game, tho not as handy at connecting with the basket for the points that count. Olson represents the immovable at center; he is sturdy and it takes a man to run over him. He has plenty of fight in him. “jack” Johnson is right there; whether a dribble or a little team work is needed he is on the job. Iverson does some very good guarding. He plays a very steady and consistent game. January 20 we had a game with Macalester. The game was well- played on the part of both teams. Fast snappy playing featured the whole game. Tho we did not beat we gave a merry chase and kept too close behind to give the other team any chance to feel safe. It ended with a score of 20—29. For the Macalester team the Greig Brothers played well. The team as a whole played snappy ball. At one period of the game our opponents tried to put us out of the running by roughing it, but that did not help as fouls were called on them. In all there were 13 fouls chalked up against them, as over against 3 for our team. A. Harbo succeeded in making 6 of the free shots count. A determination to fight and a good spirit was evident among our players. Roy Greig starred for the winners with 6 field goals, and A. Harbo for the losers. The lineup : Augsburg . illulcalesler A.

Han bes¢kte flere byer i Makedonien 0g det nuvaerende Grakcn- land, vandt store seire for evangeliet 0g dannet flere nye menigheter. Aar 54 tiltraeder han tilbakereisen, drog til Jerusalem 0g bes¢kte menig— heten der, hvorfra han reiste til Antiokia, og dermed var hans anden missionsreise avsluttet. ‘ Paa_ sin tredje reise, som varte fra 54 til 58 C.

All institutions of higher learning in the Twin City are represented in the Twin City Band, except such which for denominational or other reasons do not have any connection with the Student Volunteer Move- ment. The following schools were represented at the meeting at Augsburg: Minnesota University, Macalester College, Bethel Academy and Theol- ogical Seminary, and Augsburg Seminary. All the students of Augsburg had been invited to the meeting, and many availed themselves of the opportunity. Professor Ratevera, a native of Madagascar, was the principal speaker of the evening. He emphasized the necessity of giving the heatth the gospel. Civilization and education avail nothing if the heart is unregenerated. Professor Ratevera's speech was not lengthy, but it was a strong plea for the non-Christian peoples. Besides this, a fine musical program was rendered. The “Volunteers” of Augsburg, ably assisted by some young ladies, had provided a tasty refreshment of which all were invited to partake. It is needless to say that all did justice to the coffee, the sandwiches, and the cake. We welcome the Twin City Band back to Augsburg again. Show less

The -sun withdrew and would not look upon the horrible crime that was being perpetrated. Even God Himself seemed to have receded, but the men who committed the vile act had no feeling of remorse. The crucified Christ was refused a drop of water from the earth, a ray of sunshine from heaven. The cup of divine displeasure was filled to him without mixture. He was alone, fighting the legions of dark- ness to save the people who were crucifying Him. Even God, His own father. smote Him. “It pleased the Lord to do this. He determined to do it; it was the result of an eternal counsel; and He delighted in it, as it was an effectual method for the salvation of man and tne securing and advancing of the honor of God." Let us stop a few moments and consider the importance of this terrific struggle. It was not a battle for the supremacy of world power, nor was it merely a contest between two mighty forces for certain pos- sessions. It was infinitely more. It was a death struggle in which the “Son of Man" ventured His all, even His place as the second person in the Trinity. It was a struggle upon the outcome of which depended the destinies, not only of the people of that day, but of unborn millions. Had jesus lost this mighty battle. we should all be in utter darkness, devoid of hope for time or eternity. If the Son of Man had been con- quered in this His last and greatest struggle against the power of dark- ness. there would to—day be no glad tidings to bring to the millions of troubled souls. lut the Savior of man had gone into the struggle to win. and win lie must. even tho every animate and inanimate thing stood up against Him. Darkness reigned over the world during this time, yet to the believer there must have been a ray of hope. Even thru the mist there must have been visible upon the mount of Calvary, a cross, silhouetted agains the blue dome of heaven, and upon this cross the hope of the human race, battling against the evil forces. It was a terrible time of darkness. Even the disciples of Christ seemed lost. Light was, however. soon to reap— pear. VVhen Jesus said these wonderful words, “It is finished,” the elements reacted so violently that “the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake; and the rocks were rent; and the tombs were opened."

This magazine stands alone among modern literary periodi- cals. It is an aristocrat among current publications. Its style is invari- ably correct and dignified, and the quality of its contents is unquestioned: Let us hope that our students may appreciate the value of this reading material. College men will not neglect this scholarly magazine. In the April issue we find several contributions which are of interest. Lord Dunsany, in his usual mystical vein. tells the story of a fight be— tween the dwarfs and the demigods. He has called it “A Pretty Quar- rel”, and, indeed, he has given it a well—deserved name. In the same volume there is an article by Frank E. Spaulding. former Superintendent of the Minneapolis Public Schools. which bears the title “Educating the Nation". Mr. Spaulding views our educational system in the light of present day conditions and finds it inadequate. He outlines a national educational program and advocates the formation of a Department of Education in the national government. There are many worth—while stories and articles in the current issue. a. During the War the common people were introduced to'the mysteries of the Financial Market thru the Liberty Loans. As never before. the man of limited means took an interest in the Stock and Bond market. This may prove to be but a passing acquaintance, if the present rate of disposal continues. In any case, it' is well for us all to understand the methods and problems of the intricate financial system of our country. Several books dealing with this subject may be found in the Library, in the shelf containing books on Economics. We recommend one of the volumes as an instructive. yet interesting book. William C. Van Antwerp, in his “Stock Exchange from Within”, explains in a popular style the various phases of the financial problems. The book is written so that any Academy student can read it with profit. WE ARE GROWING OLD. \\'e are growing old fast these days. In the old days. when folks took time to live, youth was a matter of years. Now it is little more than the passing of a day. Time was. when people enjoyed living during the day. Our age is busy working eight hours each day in order that it may enjoy itself for a few hours in the evening. The evening hours do more toward breaking down the character and ideals of American youth than eight hours of sleep and eight hours of labor can repair. Show less

Seldom is such an appeal heard as the petition which the venerable Bishop brought before the Throne that evening. In his words was contained the spirit of triumph of fifty years of strife and labor. But his words were tempered by a note of the sweet humility of man in the presence of God. We were reminded of the noble words of Kipling: “The tumult and the shouting dies— The captains and the kings depart—- Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice, An humble and a contrite heart. Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget—lest we forget." AUGSBURG’S THREE NEEDS. By Oscar M. Mehns, ’16. “The first hundred years are the hardest,” we used to say in the army. In .speaking of schools we can well say, “The first fifty years are the hardest,” for if a school can continue for half a century, it has shown that it has the confidence of the people and the backing of its alumni. Augsburg to—day is stronger than ever before. In the first place. 'it is out of debt. This shows that the congregations of the Lutheran Free Church are backing Augsburg financially. In the second place, Augs- burg has a faculty that is efficient and is putting its best efforts into the work; and Augsburg has a President that is progressive and imbued with the spirit (if the age in which we are living. In the third place. Augsburg has a student body that is conscientious, and interested in the deeper problems of life and in their solution. And finally, the quality of work done is such that the State Departments of Education in Minnesota, North Dakota, and other states give Augsburg graduates the same grade Teacher’s Certificate as graduates of other standard colleges are receiving. There is a great demand for Augsburg graduates as high school teachers, and every year more calls are received than can be filled. In the graduate schools of the above-named state institutions Augsburg graduates are admitted into the graduate department in Eng- lish, Education, and Chemistry, without any trouble whatever. These are some of the things that are making Augsburg great, but Show less

These young boys have been under the direction of Harry Anderson and they showed that they had accomplished much in the short time they had been under his directorship. The Club sang “America My Country", “Absent”, “Cros- sing the Bar", and the immortal “Chinese March”. The Glee Club made a flying trip to Howard Lake on March 23 and took part in a concert given by the Choral Club of that town. The main number of the concert was “The Holy City” by Gaul. The Club helped out on the bass and tenor parts of that cantata. Besides this the Club sang several songs. The program was to have been in the English language. but there were two exceptions. The Club sang one song in the Norwegian language (Den store hvite flok). and one in Chinese(?) (The Chinese March). Miss Ragna Nydahl sang the solo in “Den store hvite flok". The Club is very thankful to the people of Howard Lake for the hospitable reception shown them. The trip to Howard Lake is one which will long be remembered. l The Band may not be able to make its proposed tour this spring. The final examinations in our school work will be near at hand at the time the Band should have gone, and for that reason many of the boys do not feel inclined to make the tour. The annual Glee Club tour has been arranged. It will start the 12 and continue until the 24 of april. Concerts will be given at several towns in western Minnesota and eastern North Dakota. Prof. Hen- drickson will accompany us as speaker and as soloist. “We claim that about the busiest person in the world is a woman who has discovered a pimple on her face."—Holcad.

But in reality the world is tired of him." Show less

The Son of Man stepped forth glorious as a victor, a redeemer from sin. A new era was come. The spiritual horizon was aglow with a new light. A way was opened to the Father—house, “a new and living way." The cross held forth the rays of God’s love inviting sinners to come with their burdens. Millions have heeded the invitation and have experienced the joy of having their sins rolled away. Even to-day the cross of Christ stands forth inviting you and me. The darkness of the world is intense. yet with a little faith we may still see the cr0ss of Christ, “towering o'er the wrecks of time,” inviting us to come with our burdens. There is no greater comfort than to come to the cross. “May all our souls embrace it with an ecstasy of affection! Lay hold of that cr05s, O dying sinners! Everything else will fail you. \Vithout a strong grip of that. you perish. Put your hand on that. and you are safe. tho the world swing from beneath your feet." L. O. MUSICAL TRAINING HAS A VALUE. We sometimes hear it said, that a course in music is less difficult than a regular college course. To those who neither appreciate the value of a thoro course in music, nor understand how much laboring effort is necessary to the acquirement of musical training, I offer a few thoughts upon the subject. I was struck. at a meeting of an association of college graduates, by the remark of one of its members, who declared that, after all, her music was of more practical value to her than any of her college studies. Rather a striking remark. but, nevertheless. there is a reason for it. It has been wisely said that, “Music is the most purely creative of all arts.” The musical artist seems to create something that has life. Where does it come from, and where does it go? It is easy enough to say that the vocal cords. or the strings of an instrument produce harmonious sounds, but only such infinite variety in sound? Why is it that each voice has its own peculiar characteristics? Why is it that each player makes his own performance upon a mere mechanical contrivance, the piano, for instance? It is the wonderful power of personality that goes into music and makes it different from all the other arts. And this power of personality can only find its expression thro skillful mastery of technical details. Only as the result of such a mastery can there fe freedom in the expres- Show less

Augsburg ought to be moved to the suburbs of Minneapolis where a large tract of land can be secured for a campus. Modern buildings can be erected and with modern build- ings and a new campus Augsburg can lay aside some of the traditions which have hindered its progress. It may be that it will not be wise to immediately move all three departments (Academy, College, and Theol- ogical) because of financial reasons, but the Academy can be moved first and in a few years the College and Theological Departments can be moved. The present location is too cramped. too near the railroad yards, and too much in the heart of the city to make for the quiet and ennobling atmosphere which should surround an institution of higher learning. One tradition which has so greatly hindered Augsburg’s growth is the stand taken against coeducation. Fifty years ago, when Augsburg was founded, the educational opportunities for women were very limited and coeducation in institutions of higher learning was a new experi- ment. But to—day all our state universities and colleges in the west have coeducation. And why shouldn’t Augsburg? What argument is there lgainst it? Are the young men and women of the Lutheran Free Church 60 different from other young men and women that they need a special system of education? Or is it because we have allowed a few fossilized stand-patters to domineer our Annual Meetings and allowed them to squelch all sentiment in favor of coeducation? I am very much afraid that the latter is true, for the returns from the questionnaires sent out to the alumni by the special committee on coeducation show that the sentiment among the Augsburg alumni is overwhelmingly in favor of coeducation at Augsburg. At the next annual meeting of the Lutheran Free Church this question is bound to be brought up, and it is up to every one who has the welfare of Augsburg at heart to come out squarely for coeducation. The world moves and Augsburg must move with it. Besides moving Augsburg to a more suitable location and adopting meducation we need one more thing to make a Greater Augsburg and that is Loyalty. We need more loyalty to Augsburg, more loyalty to the professors, and more loyalty to one another. We need “more push and less pull” as one expressed it on his questionnaire. We need more co- operation and less individualism. We need more boosting and less back- bitinz, We need more honest and hearty appreciation and less fault- main. Show less
