Show moreStop, Look and Listen! Visit Augsburg-"Where You Are "What shall we do for the next pro- gram?" is the question raised sooner or later by those who plan activities of any organization. In some cases lack of satisfactory answer means a lull in acti- vity, even a complete stop. (The Alumni Executive Committee gave most of its time at the January meeting to a discussion of this problem, and that of the Alumni Clubs in gen- eral. Five of the six members gave full at- tention to the problems, the sixth gave only about 25% or 50% [at times], he being an expectant father with his wife in a local hospital. Even so, the dis- cussion was fruitful. we thought.) To begin with, the committee viewed the Homecoming movies (about 350 feet of 16 m.m. film.) They are available for distribution. For the ﬁrst time we have pictures taken at night. Karl Berg, Cam- pus Photographer, did the job. Shots of the Queen-crowning and football game with St. Olaf were excellent. Then, for a musical salute, there is the wire-recording of the Christmas concert at the Auditorium, about 4; minutes in length. This can be played on a regular wire-recorder, available for rent in any Gilt Designations At the meeting of the General Com- mittee of the Augsburg Foundation Fel- lowship this month several important questions will be discussed. Among them are: continuance of memberships, use of an individual record card to be kept by each member and sent in with gifts that come directly to Augsburg, and the an- nual Foundation Day celebration. The Alumni Executive Committee recently discussed the possibility of combining the latter with the annual Homecoming fes- tivities. Members of the AFF General Commit- tee are as follows: Bernhard Christensen, Olaf Rogne, Lawrence Quanbeck, Marvin Gisvold, N. C. Anderson, Rev. C. J. Carlsen, George Michaelscn. Your AFF gift may be designated to: l. The general building fund, or z. The Fosse Memorial Fund, or 3. The current expense fund. L.F.C. larger city. A number of churches, too, have added these machines to their equip— ment. As an outgrowth of the discussion Ver- non Jensen was asked to make a record- ing of "A Trip Around Augsburg." It will be possible through this recording for Auggies to listen to their former teachers lecture, visit chapel, get a greeting from various administrative leaders, hear the choir or band at work, etc. Vern will probably get some vibrations at the Arm- ory, too, at the next basketball game! A further thought for Auggie rally programs was that of getting some one to come in from a nearby area—to speak or sing. This person would not neces- sarily have to be an Augsburg alumnus either. As a ﬁnal thought, here, the commit- tee felt that every area organization would function best if it had some deﬁnite proj- ect of its own to work for. This could be related to Augsburg. It might be re- lated to the community. But it should be something of interest to the group. involving an attainable good which need not be just ﬁnancial in character. Members who want gifts in this category credited to their congregation must be sure to indicate the fact when sending the gift. Gifts are received at the Treas- urer's Ofﬁce, or the Alumni-AFF office in Old Main.

We perhaps should have said "family" instead of neighbors—since all who have attended Augsburg have been welcomed into the "family." But the number has grown so rapidly of late years that it has been hard for us to keep up with it, even in the alumni oﬂice. Therefore from time to time we are sending out area lists to diﬂerent sections of our country: i. To help you know about Auggies in your area. In some cases you will be able to renew old acquaintances! 2. To help you to check us on our in- formation. Use the card enclosed to give any correction or omission. 3. To be a source of information for dis- trict oﬁcers. If you haven’t had a district rally recently, begin planning now! 4. To be a reminder that Augsburg's progress is greatly dependent on her former students. What can you do to give our school a boost? If you have not received an area list and desire one for your section send a note to the Alumni office please. With the Clubs Chicago Auggies attended a pre~Christ- mas music recital in which two Norwe- gian students, and artists, captivated their audience with violin and piano numbers. Though a Thanksgiving vacation date kept attendance at a low point, Mankato area Auggies gathered for supper and the Mankato Teacherr—Augsburg basketball game in Mankato. A Duluth group cheered the Augsburg basketeers after the Superior Teachers game in Duluth Dec. 30 with a ﬁne lunch at Trinity Church parlors. The boys needed the cheering after losing two games in two nights by a total of seven points. Very partial referees (who called 35 fouls on the Augs and 10 on Superior) were responsible for the loss of the SCC< ond game. The boys deserved to win. The Augsburg sponsored community Christmas program in the Municipal Audi- torium Dec. 9, was again received with enthusiasm. In spite of very bad weather another crowd of about 5000 greeted the two Augsburg choirs and the is other singing organizations from Twin City Protestant Churches. Several radio stations broadcast the music from transcriptions on later pro- grams in the holiday season.

Religious Life Surveys Results of questionnaires given annually at Augsburg on the religious life of the students give much valuable information and make possible some interesting com~ parisons.

Martin Luther on Education Martin Luther. the German Reformer. thundered the following warning regard- ing higher institutions of learning: "l am much afraid the great universities will prove to be the great gates of hell unless they diligently labor to explain the Holy Scriptures and to engruVIe them upon thc hearts of youth. I advise no one to place his child where the Scriptures do not reign. Every institution where men are not unceasingly occupied with the Word of God must become corrupt." Had Lu- ther had some inkling of how true hix prophecy would be. no doubt even he would have shuddered. That all sorts of false cults. godless philosophy. and im- moral living can be instilled in our youth by so-called intelligent men with a de- gree is the sad state of our times. ———T/)r Missionary Lulbrmu.

An Augsburg wrestling team will for the ﬁrst time enter conference competition this winter. The "grunt and groan" boys will meet at least ﬁve other colleges in matches. Though it is now a "long time since." Homecoming at Augsburg was well at- tended. A general reaction that "it was a ﬁne Homecoming" prevailed. An out- standing innovation this year was. the parade. Both the number and quality of ﬂoats was surprisingly ﬁne. The Alumni oﬁce will have pictures of these to pre- sent. Both main addresses by Rev. L. O. Gierde and Marcy Ditmanson were out- standing. About 510 attended the Smor- gasbord. Several thousand saw the foot- ball game. and the Homecoming Con- cert packed Trinity's spacious auditorium. Faced with a re-building job due to loss by graduation of star basketeers Je- roy Csrlsen and Duane Ludgren. Coach Ernest Anderson has been relying largely on freshmen as he has sought to ﬁnd a winning combination for the tough con- ference schedule which opens in january. To get maximum preparation the Augs are playing a is game practice schedule. with everybody but the waterboy getting a chance to show his skill. Some of last years regulars will ﬁnd it hard to keep a starting place this year. The Minnesota Conference with stand- out teams at Hamline and St. Thomas (Hamline has been rated by most as equal to. or better than the U. of M. team) will oﬂer rugged opposition for the I949 Aug- gies. The Maroon and Grey will do well if it captures a spot in the ﬁrst division this season. The following men comprise the squad. (Names in italics are probable starters in most games): Centers: R.

C. bowed to the Maroon and Grey. i4-o in the ﬁrst game) lost lustre rapidly as the season advanced. Star fullback Vane fractured a leg in the ﬁrst game. and a ﬂood of other injured shelved a large part of the best talent on the squad. it was one headache after another for coach Edor Nelson. Thus the season ground to a close with one victory. two ties (Hamline and Concordia). three de- feats. In the St. Olaf homecoming game the Auggies got off to a glorious start. marching to a touchdown soon after the opening kick-off. But the Oles found a weak spot—the Auggie pass defense. That turned the tide for the Ole Lions who went on to victory. New Dietitian Repercussion of the agitation by stu- dents Iast semester toward lower board costs are apparent in several developments. A ten-cent per meal saving on the eve- ning dinner was effected by the change to cafeteria service. Then. after Christ- mas. a new dietitian. Miss Grace Boyd. began her work. Miss Boyd received a master's degree at Iowa State and has held cafeteria positions in that school and at Purdue. She has also taught in North- ern Minnesota. The dietitian at Macalaster College was called in to survey the dining hall situa- tion. Her report was given to the special dining hall committee which. after con- sidering the facts. discovered a circulated number of recommendations. Noteworthy were the following: I. That the administration suspend for next semester on a trial basis the rule requiring students to purchase a mini- mum number of coupon-books. Cou- pon-books will be available in units of t. That students be allowed to use meal tickets for afternoon and to evening chin-wag. 3. That less variety. and cheaper dishes be offered at the noon meal. 4. That the possibility of having cafe- teria dinners in two price ranges be considered. 7. That a program of nutrition and health be initiated to educate students in the wise spending of the food dol- Iar. 8. That the Dining Hall Advisory Com~ mittee adopt a long range program for maintaining and encouraging constant improvement in all phases of college food services. Did You Know That One of the new Augsburg instructors this year will be Monwald Aldre. a D. P. from Estonia. who will teach in the chem- istry department as soon as he arrives.

Show moreTHE ZIGGUDAT The ancient Babylonians were great builders. They built great cities, magni- ﬁcent palaces, massive temples. extensive canals, and a world empire. In all their building they did also erect the most costly structure—the Ziggurat (eminence). This was their particular building sacred to the deity. It was a stage —tower consisting of seven stages with a richly ornamented shrine at the top. Usually it was dedicated to "The guardian of Heaven and Earth," as was the great shrine Birs at Nimrud tooo years ago. The early Babylonians, or Sumerians, came from a mountainous country where they worshipped on mountain tops, to be nearer to heaven. When they settled on the alluvial plains of Babylonia they built these tall prominent towers to take the place of mountains. From the shrine. open to the sky, the priests would study the heavens day and night to know the will of the deity, and to learn the mysteries of the universe. There votaries would come with their costly gifts to worship "The Great Guard- in of Heaven and Earth." Such a tower was used in the service of defence. From its pinnacles watchman would scan the plains continually to give warning if hostile armies might approach. Within its sacred solid walls were skil- fully wrought chambers for housing treas- PROF. lARS LILLEHEI ure chests of the temple, the palace or the empire. ' "We are builders all." Like the Baby- lonians we are great builders. During al- By Professor Lars Lillehei most 2000 years the Christian church has been engaged in building the Kingdom of God on earth. This is the greatest building project eVer undertaken by men, now reaching out towards the ends of the earth. To simplify, let us think of a segment of this greatest of all Kingdoms. For some 80 years those associated with Augsburg have been engaged in the work of build— ing that Kingdom. In a sense we may say that Augsburg is a Ziggurat. A stage— tower of seven stages, dedicated to our God. All along the way, and perhaps es- pecially at the summit we attempt to learn the will—not of a Babylonian deity. but of almighty God. Through sciences we are engaged in the study of the mys- teries of the universe. On its pinnacles have stood watchmen all these years sounding warnings against the approach of enemies of spiritual life. Can there be found more precious treasure to be given our people than consecrated Christian young lives? They have been going out in streams of hundreds and hundreds these many years. While we are continuing to build the Kingdom of God shall we not resolve in this new year, with renewed zeal and energy to repair and enlarge our Ziggurat? THE FIRST THIRTY-FIVE CENTURIONS Wall certiﬁcates are being distributed now to all those who have enrolled as Centurions. Both the wall certiﬁcates and the pins—which have been promised for this week—should have good publicity value. They will elicit some questions, and, then, Centurion, there's your chance. E\en though you may be giving the full 8100 yourself, don't miss the opportunity to talk about our school and this project, as well as the fact that there is need of many more gifts, large or small, in or- der that we may reach the full $25,000 goal for this fund. Here is the list of the ﬁrst thirty~ﬁve Centurions. In a few cases two people are involved in one membership. But we list only one name to keep the records right.

BASKETBALL Though Augsburg was deﬁnitely "down" and suﬁered another defeat from the nationally rated Hamline Pipers on the St. Paul Court, February 24, the team has made steady improvement in the latter half of their schedule. Recent victories over Gustavus at St. Peter, 40- 37), St. John’s 61-38, and Concordia 65-44 attest to hard and successful work by Coach Ernest Anderson and his boys after a poor beginning. Only three sen— iors will be lost to the squad next year. Regulars "Don" Sween and "Butch" Johnson (Captain) will graduate in June. "Bob" Landahl, who has played a good deal at guard, will ﬁnish in January next year. Freshman Don Fladland and tall sopho— more Jerry Davis moved up from the B-squad recently and proved their mettle with points and play. Both may have brilliant days ahead of them, and with the other returnees next year Augsburg should have a high-ranking team. The B—team under Edor Nelson with big Jim Kottom of mtgan, a main-stay, won the great majority of all of its games against Conference mand..otheI-np- ponents. The Bulletin of WW C'um Twin City Auggies Gather About 100 alumni gathered for the pictures and refreshment following the Augsburg-Concordia game in the Armory. Karl Berg's and George Sverdrup's movies of campus events during the current year were shown. Most of them are in color. Pictures of the night game with St. Olaf are surprisingly clear. So, too, are the basketball shots taken at the Amory. Washington Auggies Active Two meetings involving Washington, D. C. Auggies, are scheduled for spring months. ' On March 9 the group will meet at the National Lutheran Church Center. The new wire recording from Augsburg will be used, also the movies of recent cam- pus activities. Augsburg Alumni in the Washington D. C. area are being invited with alumni of other Lutheran colleges to participate in a dinner meeting at Augustana Lu— theran Church, 16 and V Streets, in the Capitol City. The date is April 26. Sena- tor Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota will be the speaker. Wendell Lund, a promi- nent Washington attorney and a graduate of Augustana of Rock Island, is chair- man of the general arrangements.

From the Alumni AFF Office If the work of "Alumni relations” in connection with a college may be in- terpreted partly at least in terms of "sowing the seed” then the last two months have been a banner season—even in spite of cold weather and snow. (Re- moving the wing of Old Main exposed a number of oﬂices, including our own, to ﬂank attacks by Old Man Winter. Result: we didn't sweat much, in spite of our out-put.) Just for fun we totalled up some ﬁ- gures. Over 11,000 items have been pre- pared and distributed, mostly by mail, in the period. The fact that two Bulletins instead of the normal one were distributed (because of one late number) accounts for part of the record. Here are some of the ﬁgures: Two Bulletins of 4300 each; AFF greeting cards—750; area lists—950; postcards for :1 Twin City gathering— 800; Area rallies—55. That makes a grand total of 11,205 pieces. In addition we have ready the printed materials for another circular on the Fosse Fund. About 3500 will be needed. Ready to be printed too is a folder on the AFF. seeking to bring the material up-to-datc with the challenge of present action. About 5000 copies of this folder will be needed. ' All of this work would not have been possible except for the establishment of the combined Alumni-AFF oﬂice on a full-time basis. This represents a venture of faith, as well as a forward step on the part of the Board and Administration. The next move is ours—as alumni—- to justify such faith. Let us respond with prayer and gift and spoken word for our school—and the Kingdom. —N.C.A. MAYOR’S COUNCIL MEETS AT AUGSBURG The Minneapolis Mayor’s Council on Human Relations, of which President Christensen is chairman, met recently at Augsburg with President and Mrs. Chris- tensen as hosts. National recognition came to the Twin Cities as a result of this Council's work in cooperation with a number of other agen- cies. The "Brotherhood Week" award of the National Council of Christians and Jews was won by the Twin Cities largely as a result of a comprehensive survey made under the direction of the Minneapolis Mayor's Council. "Outstanding strides in the improvement of relations between the several races and religions" were cited as the basis of the award. FOLLOWING Arthur 0. Aadland, '41 (ELC) to De- Smet, S. D. Ernest V.

Show moreThe AFF Explained Vb“ it is: An association of friends of Augsburg who are banded together to support the school. The present member- ship numbers about 7:0. How it functions: The headquarters of the AFF is at the Alumni-AFF oﬁce at Augsburg. where the Executive Secre- tary carries out the decisions of the An- nual Meeting and the General Committee. The latter is a group of nine members from the Alumni Association. the Board of Trustees. and the AFF membership at large. How (be lands are and: The AFF was organized in Depression days for the pur- pose of bolstering the current expense fund. But the broader development idea was also included in the Constitution and of late the trend has been more and more coward that phase of support. How to jobs: Fill out the blank form and return. As soon as you have paid in at least “.00 you are a member. After that a minimum of at least ‘ll.00 per year should be sent in. preferably by monthly gifts in the envelopes provided. but not necessarily. (A letter about the AFT will reach you soon.) Termination of membership: Since the AFF is a voluntary association. member- ship may be terminated. or pledges ad- justed. at any time by notiﬁcation to the AFF oﬁce. To guide the Committee in the further conduct of the AFF some word of explanation is solicited. The AH: and Augsburg itself desires to conduct the work in such a way that it will be acceptable to its constituents. a blessing to those we seek to serve. and above all. pleasing in the sight of God. especially when we try to practice meth- ods like the "postpone-it-till-l-get-ahead" technique. All too seldom do we get to that place. The time to exercise steward- ship over money is when it is received. That is the testing time. That is when God discovers whether we are sentimen- talists about Him and His work or not. Thank God for victory in this area and the joy of regular administration of His bountiful gifts.

Augsburg Friend Sets Practical Example The pleasure of havmg a larger share in the work of a Christian college u'bilr lie uas )r! living came to a retired busi- ness man. now deceased. through an An- nuity Plan which he helped to start at Augsburg. Since then others have adopted the plan and are sharing in the benefits of the system. it was in 194$ that Albert Wold. a member of Trinity Church. offered to Augsburg's president 5:5.000 for the school with the understanding that a certain rate of interest should be paid to him as long as he lived. and that the same arrangement of interest payments should be continued for his wife. if she should survive him. which she did. Mr. Wold had at least three impor— tant thoughts in mind with this offer: I. As a staunch friend and supporter of Augsburg while in business he wanted a portion of his earnings turned over to the school when he retired. because he considered an annuity to a Christian in- stitution a sound investment and good stewardship. a. He spoke often of wanting to set a good example in this way for other men and women who are financially able to arrange for similar or smaller annui— ties. 3. He wanted to make a convenient income investment for his own old age and for his wife. if she should survive him. Augsburg's Annuity Plan is explained in a booklet which will be sent upon re- quest to anyone desiring it. Its title is "Receiving V’hile Giving." The table of "Annuity Rates" or in~ terest per year percentage-wise is pub- lished here. For example: A person 70 years old. who establishes annuity of “.000. receives 14‘} interest or $a7t.oo yearly as long as he lives.

Show moreA Seminary Professor Speaks . . . A Stirring Call to Christian "MilliOns now living shall never die!" This was the stirring slogan of the foun- der of one of the sects of our day. That he was wrong is shown by the fact that he himself is long since dead. But we might well face ourselves with a slightly different statement: "Millions now living shall die without Christ!" And why? Is it because we lack oppor~ tunities or money, or is it because there is no longer any saving power in the Gospel? No! It is simply because we lack men and women who are willing to de— dicate their entire time and effort to the work of the Kingdom of God. Everyone is called to be a witness for Christ regardless of his vocation. Wher- ever he is, a Christian should by his con- duct and his words seek to win men for Christ. But ever since the founding of the Church, God has in addition sought out for Himself certain individuals who should give their full efforts to the pro- clamation of the Gospel and the exten- sion of the Kingdom on earth. Today the Church is short-handed. It simply does not have enough full-time workers. The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. This is supremely true of our age. And we simply Cannot believe that it is because God is no longer call- ing men and women into full-time ser- vice. God is still love. But God calls through His Church, and I am afraid that it is in the process of transmission that the call dies down and the trumpet comes to give an un- certain sound. In other words, the Chris- tians are not living close to the heart of God. For if they were, their heart, too, would ache for the lost world, and their prayers would be full of pleading that the Lord send forth workers. And I am convinced that where the Church is united in such prayer, there the call of God will come clear and strong to the hearts of youth. We believe, those of us at Augsburg who are most directly concerned with this matter, that the Church has indeed begun to wake up, and to heed the Lord's injunction to pray for workers. If I may be very personal, I want to confess that that has been true of myself this past year. Many others could undoubtedly say the same. And the glorious thing is that the Lord is keeping His promise. He is answering our prayers for workers! Young men and women in the College are dedicating themselves to missionary and parish work in ever growing numbers. Let us give thanks to God for this blessing, and let us continue to press for even greater blessings! JOHN STENSVAAG Young men! Young women! Perhaps you have heard God's call to you. Your conscience is troubling you—giving you no peace about this matter. You may have made other plans for your life, but God is constantly reminding you of the "fields white unto harvest," of the mil- lions who are in danger of dying without Christ. Do not squelch that call from God. It may be true that you are not ab- solutely certain. But if you feel the need of the unsaved world pressing in upon you, then you owe it to yourself and you owe it to Christ to present yourself for service. You can be sure of this, that if you were mistaken, if God did not truly call you to full time service, then in the course of time, this will be made clear to you. But do not use a present uncertainty as an excuse for refusing God's call. No more thrilling and challenging story exists than that of the call of Peter and his friends. Jesus, walking by the seashore, called unto them and said: Action "Come ye after me, and I will make you ﬁshers of men." And they straightway‘ left the nets and followed Him. They left the calling they had chosen for themselves to enter into full time ser- vice for Christ. Today, all too many stick by their "nets". Of course they have many good reasons. But will any of these really satisfy Christ? In a sense, Augsburg cannot send forth workers into the harvest. Only God can do that. But God works through His Church, and Augsburg is an in- strument of the Church. And so today, God, in His mercy, is working at Augs- burg, answering the prayers 01 His peo- ple, calling men into His service, prepar- ing them for their task. We praise God for the privilege of having a share in this great work of recruiting and train— ing workers for the Kingdom. But this program waits for volunteers —men and women who will respond to Christ's call. Let us pray that they may not be lacking. And if the call comes to you, do not turn it down. Remember again: Millions now living are in danger of dying without Christ—without hav- ing heard the clear words of the Gospel. It is the responsibility of the Church, of each one of us, to see to it that this does not come to pass! —Jor-tN STENSVAAG Professor of Old Testament.

Address Changes - Important Please take note of the important an- nouncement we have received from the Post Office, and follow the instruction given in case of change of address: My dear Publisher: I take pleasure in calling your atten- tion to a new procedure for notifying publishers regarding publications unde- liverable as addressed. Urge your readers to immediately no- tify you of a change of address! A card (Form 22—5) will be furnished every sub- scriber who has moved, or will move in the near future, for use in giving you his new as well as his old address. If the subscriber has not already received a card, 'he should obtain one from his postman. Postage required on the card is only 1 cent. If the subscriber is moving from Minneapolis, he may indicate on the card that he will pay forwarding postage on any copies which may be delivered be- fore the change of address reaches the publisher. The forwarding postage will ordinarily amount to a few cents and for light copies a minimum of 1 cent. If the subscriber has merely moved from one address to another within the city there is no forwarding charge. But in all cases prompt notice of change of address is essential to the success of this venture to simplify and expedite a most important postal function. jonx R. Coax, Postmaster.

(A 15-0 prac- tice victory over the Northwestern Schools team now helps to bear this out.) But the "proof of the pudding” remains to be seen. Some of Edor's dependables will be: Harvey Peterson at short; Dave Dillon and Bud Leak—catchers; pitchers— Wroge, Henjum, Brennan, Onischuk and Davis; Cupka—ﬁrst base; Puelston—sec- 0nd; Butch Johnson—third; and outﬁeld— ers—Mateyko, Hruska, and Dillon (when not catching). Coach Floyd Foslien claims as good a freshman squad for track as any school in the Conference, which bodes well for the future. Hamline defeated the Augs in the ﬁrst dual meet. If the team were as well fortiﬁed in the ﬁeld as in the running events, it would be hard to beat. FLASH Augsburg won its first track meet in history.April 30 by defeating Gus- tavus Adolphus 83-57. The Augs took ten ﬁrst places. The baseball team downed St. John’s 12 to 2 on the same day, and the tennis team beat IlMacll! The tennis team would like to repeat its 1947 success when it took the state honors. Dick Detchons and Orville Olson are back for their fourth year of com— petition. Bill Kuross is a standout per— former. Freshmen Roger Madsen, Bob Burke and Sonny Knudsen are potential winners, too. The basketball team tied with GustaVu-z and St. Mary's for the 6-7—8-placc spots in the ﬁnal standings, with a Conference record of 4-8. The Tommics and Ham— line won the crown together with an ll-l mark. Most of Aug regulars will be returning next year.

Hendrickson Passes 80 Mark (From the Minneapolis Tribune, March 30, 1949) They passed a rule at Augsburg College saying a professor is supposed to quit and take things easy along about 6; or 70. But H. N. Hendrickson didn’t pay a bit of attention. His 80th birthday Tuesday found him still teaching a class in history and two in Latin, prepared to stand on his con- stitutional rights. Ex post factor legislation is unconstitu- tional. Hendrickson insists—"I'd already passed the deadline when they made that rule," he says. Then they tried to get Hendrickson to case up by handing him the title of "pro— fessor emeritus." He gave in—to the ex- tent of cutting his class hours from 16 to 12 a week. Even his wife—they celebrated their goth anniversary in 1947—c0uldn’t sway him. Yesterday, his fellow—faculty members tried another tack. They gave him a new lawn chair as a birthday present. Hen- drickson gave it a try but he didn't look as if he intended to spend much time in it. He popped up and dOWn most of the afternoon, shaking hands with his col- leagues—a good many of them former students. In 49 years of teaching, Hendrickson has taught just about every student who ever went to Augsburg—so many that even the alumni oﬁice has lost count. Hendrickson is frank about it, too—— he thinks students aren't what they used to be. "They don't compare in application and he says.

England, latin sources and probably would have written it in Latin, too, "but the exam- ining committee wouldn’t have under- stood it." on medieval In his early days, Hendrickson fought to "Americanize" the college. Those were the days when his church, the Lutheran Free church, was split down the middle by language with separate English and Norwegian sermons, young people's meet- ings and Sunday school. Hendrickson also fought to make the school co-educational, when the draft in World War I cut enrollment so far that only one man was left in the graduating class. Prof. Hendrickson He's taught just about every subject in the curriculum, including a half-dozen kinds of history, geography, speech, Nor- wegian, religion, pedagogy and music. For 18 years he directed the Augsburg glee club, and toured the midwest with it. "We gave a concert at a country church four miles out of Cumberland, Wis.," he recalls. "That night there was a blizzard. The next morning drifts were so deep no horse could buck them and we had a concert in town. "Fortunately we had a couple of foot- ball players along. Thcy broke a path and we hiked the four miles." Born in Norway, Hendrickson was 2 years old when a sailing ship brought him to the United States. He grew up on a farm near Montevideo, Minn'., graduated from Augsburg College and Seminary and spent three years as pastor in Superior, Wis. Then he came back to college to teach and, from 1907 to 1937, to serve as Registrar. Once he was elected clean, but Hendrickson, the professor who refuses to quit, would have none of that.

Both in this con- tinuing service and in the more restful aspects of her life we wish her the rich blessing of God through years to come. Among the contemplated additions to the Faculty for the coming year, approved by the Board of Trustees, are new teach- ers in each of the following ﬁelds: Econ- omics and Business Administration, Home Economics, Physics and Mathematics, and Education. One of this year's graduates will join the Chemistry Staff as stock- room clerk and laboratory assistant. With the retirement of Dr. Ermisch from ac- tive teaching in the Seminary at the close of this school year, there will be a new member also of the Seminary Faculty— Rev. Paul Sonnack, who has been study— ing at the University of Chicago as the George Sverdrup Graduate Fellow. Step by step tbrougb the years the Fac- ulty and administration have been seek- ing to expand both the physical facili- ties and the curricular offerings of Augs- burg so as to meet more adequately the demands of today. We covet both the prayers and the generous support of all those who belong to the Augsburg family that our task may be faithfully carried out. Our goal is a College and Seminary combining the ﬁnest standards of aca~ demic excellence with a Christ-centered spirit, guiding its students to lives of dedicated service. No idea! could be higher or ﬁner. Each of us must do his part toward its achieve- ment. As we do, God will crown our efforts with His blessing. And the re- wards are eternal. BERNHARD CHRISTENSEN. O

All who visit it are impressed both with its spaciousness and with its careful planning. In the light of present day building costs it is also very economically built, at a cost somewhat less than a dollar per cubic foot. The total cost will be $486,000, not in- cluding furnishings.

A! a recrnt meeting the Board of Trus- tees decided to set as its goal to complete paying for the building before it is de- dicated. The campaigns for funds in both the Church and the City of Minneapolis are still in progress although they have slowed down considerably. One of [be most interesting gifts re- (eit‘ed recently has been a pledge of 50c a day to continue until the building is completely paid for.

We are now only $2,300 short of hav- ing received our full allotment of $65,000 from the Church for the current expenses this year.

Show moreA New Day in Natural Science at Augsburg During and since World War II we have experienced a New Age in the ﬁeld science. Old frontiers have been replaced by new ones. We now live in the Atomic Age which has opened up a vast ﬁeld for power, speed and de- struction. How can we put it to effec- tive use for the good, and how can we de- fend against it in the event of war? of natural In the ﬁeld of jet power, there are possibilities of rate of travel which as- tonishes the imagination. The opposite side of the globe is, as it were, merely next door. Medical research has extended the aver- age life span of man in the United States to 67 years. At the beginning of the 20th century it was 49 years. What progress has there not been in this ﬁeld? Still we have with us the challenge of the high death rate from heart disease and cancer —and accidents. We are reminded, too. of the challenge to medicine of the high death rate in primitive countries. India's average life span in 1946 was 26.6 years. Industries have been begging for com— petent research workers in many ﬁelds in order to keep up with the fast advancing age in which we live. In the ﬁeld of Chemistry, plastics have changed the make-up of many of our useful everyday items. Substitutes are taking the place of wood. Machinery has taken the place of man and his pick and shovel, and the saw. The automobile and the tractor have replaced the horse. The electron micro- scope has increased magniﬁcation to 200.- ooo diameters. With it we may now see many of the formerly invisible viruses, also many ultra microscopic items in Physics and Chemistry. Magniﬁcation and devices are being improved in Astromony so that we almost daily are becoming better ac- quainted with the universe. Television seems destined to replace the radio. Only a few of the challenges, or call them alliances in the ﬁeld of natural science, are here mentioned, in order to indicate how fascinating these things must be to the boy or girl of today. Many stu- dent's become even more fascinated by these things in high school. With special interests in these ﬁelds they come to our colleges to learn more about them. Augsburg has been successful in offer- ing quite a number of courses which have supplied the needs of such students. Courses have been offered in Biology, Chemistry, and in Physics. However, we have been limited in what we could of- fer, particularly because of lack of space for laboratory facilities and storage. Many students have transferred to other schools because we have not been able to supply their needs. Dr. Arthur Nash With the facilities in the new Science and Administration building, it will be possible not only to oﬁer a broader cov- erage of courses but there will be more space for equipment. With more equip- ment it will be possible to give more and better instruction. Our great con- cern now is, that of equipping the rooms set aside for these courses, for this equip- ment is very, very expensive. Besides the administrative ofﬁces the new building will have seven classrooms available for instruction in classes other than in the natural sciences, too. This will do away with the need for the use of Riverside Presbyterian Church. One of the new classrooms will seat 175 stu— dents. Half of the space on the ground floor will be equipped for Home Economics. These classes have formerly been very limited with space in Morton Hall. There are three Biology laboratories on third floor, each with a storeroom. One will be used largely by the large classes in General Biology, Human Ana- tomy and Zoology. Another is for Bo— tany, Ecology, Genetics, and Taxonomy. Classes in Accounting laboratory will also Commencement Activities An all—time record for graduates from the College is being set again this year. 12} seniors are candidates for diplomas in June.
