Defeating St. Thomas and St. Olaf, their chief rivals for the pennant, on successive days in Nicollet Park. Coach Edor Nelson's boys gave further demonstration that a tradi- tion of baseball supremacy is being estab- lished in the school whose accomplish- ments in year's past, baseballieally speak- ing at least. were measured chiefly in terrm of the brilliance of certain in- dividuals, like Ernie Anderson and his .600 batting average, Coach "Red" Nel- son, himself. et al. Now it‘s Inns supre- macy that stands out. even though this year there were many outstanding feats by individuals, too. Captain "Red" Lind- gren pitched and batted like the champ- ion he is. Few will dispute that {or all- around ability in three sports Red has been the best-ever at Augsburg. Another "Red"-—Brennan, hit home- runs on successive days at Nicollet. (latch- er Leak hit one a mile—almost on a line over the right-centerﬁeld fence of the same balliwick. And the list could be added to greatly. . . Next year? Captain Lindgren and Jeroy Carlsen were graduated in june. The rest are scheduled to return. It will be a long time before a pair like jeroy and "Red" come along again, but who knows. Othetl may shine brilliantly in critical moments. And with the tram tradition the Auggies will be up there again next year, ﬁghting for the same top spot. Following the Team: Clair Strommen who pitched Auggie baseballers to championships a few yean ago and centered the basketball team to a conference crown too. is now out of Glen Lake samtarium and recuperating in his Minneapolis home. He is still re- ceiving treatments however for a trouble- some condition in his jaw which resulted from an extraction while he was at Glen Lake.

Show moreAt the Home Base Though changes in the outward appear- ance of the Campus will be ﬁrst to oc- cupy the attention of returning students or visitors in the fall, a number of other developments, too, will be noticeable. Various ofﬁces have been shifted from the demolished west wing of Old Main to other locations in the building, two- thirds of which will be used at least until the new quarters are ready. The health center in West has been returned to Alpha ‘ House in Memorial Hall. Though changes in faculty will be less numerous than last year when there were so many additions, there still will be a number of new faces. New members will be as follows: J. Vernon Jensen, instruc- tor in speech and debate coach; Hugo Hartig, instructor in English; Estelle Brenden, assistant in the library (full time this year); Ivan Fagre, instructor in speech; Manivald Aldre, instructor in chemistry (Mr. Aldre is a refugee scholar from Estonia whose arrival in this country is still awaited). Pastor Erling Tungseth will teach Christianity in place of Pastor N. C. Anderson, whose Alumni and A. F. F. work will occupy him full-time next year. Prospects for a large enrollment this fall are very good, says Public Relations Director Pautz. About 800 should be in attendance. of which approximately 300 will be new students. The draft law will effect the attendance somewhat, but any student registered for 1948-49 is ex— empted from service until at least the completion of the school year. Those who enlisted in the National Guard may also in some cases transfer their registry to the Minneapolis area, according to the Public Relations oﬁce. Dorothy Quanbeck Johnson, '48, will replace Mrs. Joyce Olson in the Regis— trar's ofﬁce. Howard Sortland. ﬁrst year seminary student from Fargo, will be assistant to the dean of men and head resident in Memorial Hall for 1948-49. Rev. LOuis Smith, ’42, who served as assistant dean of men for the past ﬁfteen months, will take a pastorate this fall. He has been studying at the U. of Minn. in addition to his other duties. K. Berner Dahlen. dean of men, dur- ing the ﬁrst summer session at the U. of Minn. attended the workshop in higher education, which is one of the activities sponsored by the North Central Associa- tion Studies of Liberal Arts Colleges. The central theme this year was "The Im- provement of Instruction." Anne Pederson of the English depart- ment also attended the Workshop, study- ing particularly subject matter prepara- tion for future teachers. The summer school registration totalled 88, of whom 8 were women. The term will be completed August 12. Unless conditions change greatly, no session will be held next summer because of the taper- ing off of the demand. . . Jesse Christen- sen, ‘zg, who teaches at Blue Earth, was the assistant librarian during the summer session. Dr. Sverre Norborg, former teacher and now pastor of Norwegian Memorial Church in Chicago, was the chief speaker for the recent Norway Day celebration in Minneapolis. Two male quartettes gave splendid rep- resentation for Augsburg on their sum- mer tours. The Luther League sponsored group has ﬁnished their travels. Pastor Merton Strommen, Paul Paulson. Pastor Bernhard Bretheim and Kenneth Soren- son comprised this quartet, while the other was made up of John and Phil Quanbeck, Luther Bretheim and John Strom. The latter group is still travelling on the West Coast. Prof. Leland Sateren of the music de- partment was a lecturing member of the general workshop in music education at the U. of Minn. this summer. He pre- sented several of his recent choral pub- lications to the workshop. Pastor's Institute Dean E. E. Flack of the Hamma Div- inity School will be guest lecturer at the pastors’ summer institute August 3! to Septenlser 3. His lectures will be cen- tered about the theme: A Fresh approach to New Testament theology. Much emphasis will be given to evan- gelism, lectures being scheduled on Lu— theran evangelistic literature, the Bible basis of evangelism, a year of evangelism, and survey of evangelism in American Lutheran Churches. Rev. Elias Newman of the Zion Sodety will give two lectures on the Jews and their situation. A Tribute to Professor Carl Fosse "He being dead. yet speaketh." Heb. “:4. He came to Augsburg in [91) aa teach- er of chemistry and physics. a quiet, un- assuming man, always courteous. never putting himself forward. You did not learn to know him the ﬁrst day, nor the ﬁrst week or even the ﬁrst year. In fact. you had a feeling that you had never come to know him fully during the nine- teen years that he Idsored in his chosen ﬁeld. For every time that you came in a closer touch with him, you discovered new depths in his character. He was a true scientist. and also a true philosopher. About him it could be said what is told about a Danish professor of philosophy who once met an old farmer out in the country and engaged in a con- versation ‘with him. When they had chat- ted together for a while the farmer want- ed to know what was the occupation of the interesting stranger. His answer was: "I am trying to think God's thoughts after Him." Such a man was also Professor Posse. One could understand it from his chapel talks. from what little he wrote. from private conversations. and most of all from the help and guidance that he gave to his science students. The one thing uppermost in his mind was to try to think God's thoughts after Him, and to help young people to do the same. Professor Posse died in 1941, but he yet speaks through the inﬂuence which he exerted while living. Is there not a way by which we can cause this inﬂuence to go on and on to ever widening circles? —-Atmnus Hqumn. Seven Men Join Seminary Classes Seven men, possibly nine, will begin their studies in the seminary department next term. Four are meniaers of the June class. They are: Philip Quanbeck. Alton Knutson, Oliver Bergh, Jasper Swenson. Two are of the Class of 1947: Richard Torgerson and Norman Bakken. The seventh is a graduate of Concordia college of Moorland, Howard Sordand. Two others may enroll before the open- ingof theFall term. Anotherbeginning student on part-time basis is Henry Mayer of the American Lutheran Church.

Icy be the president's new residence at aaty butler Place. construction of which wll begin this month or in September. Iuilding of the president's residence will be facilitated by the use of dimen- I'II lumber from West Hall and Old “sin. of which there is a large amount in excellent condition. Funds for this building have been accumulating for some time. though the full amount needed is not on hand yet. Erection of this build- ing will also be an important s'tep in the carrying out of campus plans shown in the Bulletin in a recent issue. This plan makes Murphy Square the center of the Campus. The cost of the Science Hall. not in- cluding equipment. will be 3431.000. ac- cording to Inaineu Director Rogue. D'Arcy Leek Construction Company has the general contract. The C. U. Clarke Engineering Company will do the plumb— ing and heating work. while the electrical work will be handled by the Batzli Elec— tric Company. Of the total cost of the Science Hall about “31.000 is available now. Comple- tion of the Minneapolis drive for funds under Mr. Berdahl and the Investment for Freedom drive in the congregations of the Lutheran Free Church is expected to bring in the total needed. if both drives are successful. there should be a surplus for the much needed addition to Sivertsen Hall. Carlsen New Board President Rev. C. J. Carlson. pastor of St. Olaf Church in Minneapolis. was elected pres- ident of Augsburg's board of tnistees at its recent meeting. He takes the place of Rev. J. A. Houkom who had served for I) years. A new ruling by the Lu- theran Free Church annual conference prohibits membership on oﬁcial boards for more than two consecutive terms. Pastor Carlsen comes to his new posi- tion with s more than avenge under- standing of Augsburg. having been for some time a member of the board of trus- tees and also having done considerable re- search on the school in preparation for writing his book on the Lutheran Free Church. At Minot he started a fund for ﬁnancing the education at Augsburg of worthy students who needed help. Pastor Carlscn is vice-president of the Lutheran Free Church and has served on many councils and committees. including inter- synodical groups. IT WAS GOOD Over 300 were in attendance at the Alumni Srnérgbsbord June 2, and there was a general expression of de- lightednass over the whole business. Especially to be commended were the ladies who planned and worlted so hard to put it over. Another thanks to them all—through this channel. lilto- wisa to all who supplied food. etc. About $200 was realized for the new Alumni ollice furnishings fund. We still have in the Alumnl oﬂce a low unclaimed dishes. Call AT 5495 if you didn't get yours. - N. No doubt those of you now engaged in making vocational choices are doing two important things. You are ﬁnding out things about the job and you are ﬁnding out things about yourself in relation to it. These studies are indispensable. The ﬁrst involves discovering what the occupation requires of you, what opportunities it presents. I am thinking of the natural abilitia and the training that it takes; and when it comes to opportunities, let us try to think not only of salary and chances of advancement. but opportunities for service—service, that much-talked-about little-practiced ideal. I couldn't help but feel, as I sat at the seminary com- mencement last night. that the young men entering the ministry come a good deal closer to that ideal than most of us. There must, you see, be not only opportunities to get, but opportunities to give. The second question involves studying yourself— something that few of us do realistically. You must be able to face the fact that the picture of yourself in relation to a particular occupation may be un- favorable. The picture you make will have little meaning if it only pictures you as you would like to be. Students often say, "I know my record is bad, but I will do better next semester." Some students are incurable optimists as to what they will do in the future, but never "deliver the goods" in the present. So when you measure yourself, go to the record. Even ask others to help get the facts on yourself. It is therefore more fundamental to ask not, "What can a person like me get out of this occupation?" but. "What can a person like me put in?" I am of the impression that there are relatively few people who have the attitude revealed by the young man who said to me the other day. "I don't want to enter the ministry if I don't have the qualiﬁcations." To my mind. this statement shows that whatever else may be true of him, this young man does have one of the qualiﬁcations. To put this in another way, choosing a vocation also requires that you, like the builder of the tower and the king going to war, sit down to count the cost. But you must also determine whether you have the price to pay. Fiercest-mu Leda»: ARCHIVE)

Show moreThe Christian and His Vocation (Chapel Talk Based on Luke 14:25-33) Christ makes it clear in this passage that becom- ing His disciple is not something that can be done thoughtlessly. It is not a decision to be taken on im- pulse or to which one can be carried on a strong tide of emotion. Christ wants those who accept the responsibilities of discipleship to do so with eyes open. He wants them to count the cost. Choice not based on such considerations can result only in disappoint- ment for the disciple as well as for the Master. Counting the cost of discipleship has become, all too often, a calculation of what one must give up— what amusements and what friends one can no longer have. But it should be clear from the parable that the cost is not merely what one must give up; it is even more what one must put in. Counting the cost of discipleship involves think- ing through its implications for one’s choice of voca- tion, and it is of vocation I want especially to speak today. For the Christian, the word "vocation" is appropriate; for his work must be a calling. A good friend of mine asked me the other day on what bases our teaching graduates seem to be considering teach- ing positions—whether opportunity for service ap- peared to be one of the considerations. I was com- pelled to answer that it looks as though salary, loca- tion, and train and bus connections are much more determining. Let me hasten to say that I realize that such a judgment is necessarily superﬁcial and to add that I recognize that such things as salary, location, and train connections are not considerations incom- patible with the consideration of opportunity for service. So let me ask you now—you who have a job, you who are looking for a job—how seriously are you asking yourself, "What good can I do on this job?” Some weeks ago a school superintendent who vis— ited my oﬁce spoke with some enthusiasm of an Augs- burg teacher who had once been a member of his staff. The Auggie in question was an athletic coach. The superintendent told me that he learned one day Prof. M. Quanboeh that the coach’s father-in-law had invited him into partnership with him in a ﬂourishing and well-estab- lished business. Much interested, he said to him, "Coach, why don't you take advantage of this opportunity? You’ll never be able to make as much in teaching." "You don’t understand,” said the coach. "Athletics is my life!" A little later, the superintendent dropped into the dressing room after basketball practice. There was the usual steamy atmosphere with the odors of vari- ous ointments, antiseptics, and perspiration. "I’m going to get out of here,’ tendent. "I can’t stand this smell.” said the superin- "I like it," said the coach, simply. Whatever he may lack, that man has a vocation. I hope that your work can mean as much to you. College appears to be the normal time for choos- ing a vocation. This is true even when the college work is not speciﬁcally a preparation for a vocation. Let me say parenthetically that I believe it should often be the case that a student in college is not tak- ing work that leads to a vocation—that there are many jobs in which the job itself offers the best vo— cational training. I want to emphasize the fact that college——a liberal arts college—has something to of- fer to future farmers, future politicians, future home- makers. And if you have as a goal any one of the vocations that do not normally require college train- ing, no one has a right to put on an incredulous look and ask, "Why are you here?”

Show more"CENTURY CLUB" TO SPEAR-HEAD FOSSE FUND DRIVE In the mighty legions of ancient Rome the centurions held the key positions. More important even than the higher of- ﬁcers. they were the men who gave the gran~roota leadership in the army. They were responsible for ioo men eath. Upon their leadership rested the fate of Rome's ﬁghting forces. When the Greater Alumni Association carries out its drive to raise $at.ooo in i94l-49 for the Fosse Memorial. it. too. will have "Centurions" to spear-head the work. Together they will comprise a Century Club. Each one will. instead of leading ioo men. be responsible for rais- ing 8100. He will give it himself. or solicit others to supplement his own gift to make that total. If the Century Club is built up to a membership of no. the amount estimated to be necesaary for equipping the physics and chemistry labs as a memorial to Prof. liotae will be assured automatically. But since the total amount needed for all the labs will probably run close to $60,000. it is the hope of the Alumni Executive Committee that the set goal may be greatly exceeded. I n I the Fund will wear a pin to indicate their Centurions for Fosse Memorial part in the campaign. A dinner is to be held next spring. The campaign will run to September. i949. at which time it is hoped the building will have been com- pleted and furnished. A list of Centuri Club members will be presented in the next Bulletin. though nearly a score have been enlisted already.

Another good year of work by the Executive Committee is in prospect. Here are the results: President: Lawrence Quanbeck. He is secretary of the Minneapolis South Town Y.M.C.A. sen.

Show moreTeacher Shows the Way . . . Alumni and Student Recruitment Augsburg College, like most other pri- vate and public institutions. has in the past few years, been overcrowded and has had to turn down good students for lack of room and facilities. Due to some changes in economic conditions, present draft regulations, smaller enrolments in the high schools, and also the fact that the veteran enrolment is dwindling, it is possible that many colleges will drop in enrolment next fall. We are hoping that this will not be the case at Augsburg as we are endeavoring to keep our enrolment at approximately 800, the present ﬁgure. We appreciate the ﬁne response we have received each year from the teach- in': alumni and pastors in providing us with the names of prospective students. As an example of what some of our high school teachers are doing I should like to cite the following: a high school teacher went out of her way to pay the expenses for two high school seniors to visit the campus over a week-end in addition to recommending Augsburg and counselling them beforehand. As a result of this time and interest both boys enrolled at Augs- burg last fall and are now two of our better Students. Others have taken the time and interest to bring an entire group to the campus. This kind of interest in Augsburg Col- lege and her expanding program is the kind of thing which will enable us to maintain our place among the best Chris- tian colleges in the Northwest. With the completion of the Science-Administration Building, which will be ready for next fall. and Augsburg’s full accreditation by the North Central Association, which we expect to receive during the next school year, it should not be too diﬁcult to main- tain our enrolment, and even increase it if that is our wish, providing we all share in the responsibility according to the op- portunities which we have for putting in a good word for our school. Lach year we have sent out an appeal by letter to pastors and teaching alumni inviting them to provide us with the names of prospective students. We have found that this is the very best source we have in securing good students and also that students who are recommended by our alumni and former students are invariably the kind who will be happiest BASEBALL May 5—St. Olaf. , . .Here May 7—Homline . . . . . .

Pauaz Director of Public Relations Ask - Receive.I An Augsburg man who is a home mis— sion' pastor (LFC) recently was deeply concerned about getting money for ﬂoor- ing for the new church. Although it has been constructed during the time of peak prices. the entire project has gone ahead steadily and is rapidly nearing completion. But after cash reserves were depleted, each step has had to await new gifts. The pastor was especially anxious to get the ﬂooring in time for an Augsburg Choir concert which had been scheduled. He and others continued to pray. One morn- ing while he was praying the telephone rang. A truck was ready to bring the hundreds of dollars worth of ﬂooring needed if the pastor would sign the de- livery voucher. An unknown stranger in another city who heard about the need was God's means to answer the prayer. The men of the church then laid the flooring in time for the concert.

Show moreThe AFF Provides For . . . A Frontal Attack On Sentimentalism By deﬁnition . . . It has been said that a sentimentalist is "someone who desires certain good things—he may even feel rather deeply about them—but one who in spite of it all never really wills the means to secure the ends desired." In his stabbing-awake book Screwtape Letters, C. S. Lewis describes how Satan. in instructing some of his Junior devils, recommends to them various methods for keeping people in spiritual bondage. Among these is the "postpone-it-till-a- better-time" technique. There is no harm in allowing people to be exposed to Chris- tianity. just so it isn’t taken seriously. In fact, it is better that people be inocu- lated with a half-hearted faith so that they then become immune to the real thing! Lewis doesn't mention the technique of sentimentalism by name as a method to keep people from the Kingdom, as I remember it, but it certainly is implied. Think—feel—talk—fven gush, but don't do anything concrete about it—that is perfectly satisfactory with the Devil. All of us are in constant danger of becoming mere sentimentalists in rela- tion to our own life purposes, our fami- lies, our communities and the institutions that we have. Christians especially stand in this danger because their committal to Christ means a committal to an ever— enlarging circle of interests related to His Kingdom. Because the Augsburg Foundation Fel- lowship oﬁers a practical way by which Augsburg’s sons and daughters may realis- tically work at the attainment of basic need in connection with our school, our- selves and our world, we wish that every Auggie who has not yet adopted a prac— tical method of support would do so through the Augsburg Foundation Fel- lowship. At least four basic needs in connec- tion with our school, ourselves and the world may be worked at through the AFF. Every Auggie especially feels the desire of doing something in connection with each. He wants: Viewed from the southwest Four Basic Needs A Channel for Gratitude How can our school advance as it ought if we who have received so much from it do not support the work with a portion of that which God so consistently sup- plies? Through the AFF we may show our gratitude to God and our school in a way that ﬁts in with an over-all plan of stewardship. I’m wondering what would happen, too, if every Auggie would set aside through the AFF just one-tenth of a tithe to our school. ‘The Greater Augsburg Every progressive college now has an Alumni Fund (or its equivalent) raised annually for speciﬁc purposes. Through it the Alumni carry on a consistent pro- gram of development for their school. In the AFF we have what amounts to the same thing. The question is: Will we use it? If only 1000 Auggies gave regularly just $1.00 per month we would have every year $12,000 for this purpose. It would mean that in every ten years we would have $120,000 to $150,000 (count ing interest) to apply on some new proj- ect. We have visions of the Greater Augs- burg that must come. If it is to be, then, we who are Alumni must get behind a practical plan of attaining the goal. The AFF furnishes a good method. Freedom and Democracy As increasing state and Federal sub- sidization comes to the state institutions of learning the colleges that are not tax- supported will be facing a time of greater and greater diﬁculty. Since among them are our Christian schools. we must then build stronger ﬁnancial foundations to insure their continuance at a high level of efﬁciency. In the Augsburg Foundation Fellowship there is a rallying point for friends of Augsburg who believe in the vital principles of living our school in- culcates, and who know that the only way we can keep freedom in America is by preserving our free institutions. Practical Stewardship The idea of a regular monthly gift to Augsburg through the AFF is a Biblical method of stewardship. It is so easy to suffer defeat in the stewardship of moneyI

A Thousand Hark To Science Hall llCome See" Augsburg held Open House in the new Science Hall on Sunday. October )0. from I to y p. m. and on Monday eve- ning. October 3|. from 7 to 9:30 p. m. Approximately a thousand people from Minneapolis and vicinity took advantage of this opportunity to see the building from bottom to tap. Guides were available who took the visitors in groups. explain- ing intricacies of construction and design as they went along. Each tour was very appropriately concluded with 'colfee' at the dining hall. Remarks heard were always the same. "What a beautiful buildingl" "What care- ful phoning." "What a unique Chapel!" "Thank you for an enjoyable and en- lightening hour." 50 Augsburg goes on—humbly thank- ful for the many gifts which made the Science Hall. its ﬁxtures and furnishings possible. lts expanded program has been immediately accepted as vital and neces- sary-«he ﬁrst hurdle in the twenty-year building program.

Show moreWith the Aussie Battlers Gridiron Gleanings Bulletin readers will be interested in a resumé of the football season which we can honestly say was very successful, al- though the final standings in the con- ference don't put the Auggies in the up- per bracket. Two wins, two ties and three losses make up the record for the season. The ties tell a story in that both oppos- ing teams tied have gone on to make marks of distinction. For instance, the ﬁrst tie with Mankato ﬁnds that team going on to be champions in their Con- ference. Then the 'even-stephen’ game with Macalester was something of a feat, since Mac went on to defeat a highly- touted Gustavus eleven and to end the season in ﬁfth place. The losses to St. Thomas (undefeated Conference Champions), St. John's and St. Olaf were not run-aways, that is for ssre, and all the teams felt they had stiffer opposition from Augsburg this year than they have had for many years. De- fensively the Auggies were quite brilliant and ranked third among the Conference teams in total points scored against. Of- fensively they lacked the necessary scor- ing punch. However. the Auggies wound up the season in a blaze of glory with a win of 27-6 against St. Mary's. This was a ﬁtting conclusion to the season and to an otherwise successful Homecoming. Prospects for next year are very bright since most of the squad is returning. There will be a serious loss at the guard posi- tion since All Stater Bob Howells and Bud Leak, co-captains, are graduating. But many of the sophomores have shown promise and with more experience are expected to ﬁll the breech. Backﬁeld ta- lent is sorely needed but who knows what the passing interim may uncover? What About Basketball? Basketball prospects are good. It may be said here that many of the regular members of last year's squad are ﬁnding it hard to keep their berths since there is Such a wealth of polish among the freshmen. That speaks well for the Aug- gies. Competing for posts is a healthy situation and makes for 'depth' in posi- tions —- something new for Augsburg and barring unexpected reversal of form, the. supporters of the "Maroon and Grey" should this year see some fancy basketball. Printed below is the schedule for the year. Beat in mind that all home games are played in the Minneapolis Armory. All games begin at 8 p. m., with prelim- inaries at 6:30 p. m.

Show morethtiatmaa . . . Why Do We Celebrate It? We usually take the most priceless things of life more or less for granted. We accept the beauty of God's nature, Our health, the love of those who are dearest to us, etc.. in a very matter—of—fact manner. 50 it is also with Christmas. We give and receive gifts. We feast and fuss. We even go to church. And once again Christmas passes. But what has it meant? Why do we celebrate Christmas? The Christmas Gospel gives us the answer. We celebrate Christmas because the birth of Jesus is the greatest manifestation of God's love for man. "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son." Never before, and never since, did God so fully reveal His love for man. We celebrate Christmas because the birth of Jesus is the an— swcr to the real needs of mankind. A certain minister spoke to a business man who was not a member of any church. He said, uI have come to speak to you about big things." “What big things?" asked the business man. "The big things which center in the manger at Bethlehem," replied the minister. Most peo- ple do not believe that. Throughout history men have believed that material things are the big things. and they have spent their lives for the things that are material and physical as though human happiness could be found only in them. We are sure, however, that no man can be truly happy, no matter how great his material wealth, unless he can look up to God and say with quiet conﬁdence, "My Father." But of ourselves you and I cannot look up to God, for we are sinners. We must look away, because our souls are tainted, and our consciences are burdened. It was for the purpose of providing divine mercy and making possible the forgiveness of our sins, thereby eﬂecting a peace between God and men, that Jesus came. And this He did not only for a few, not only for a certain class of people, but for all men. We celebrate Christmas because it assures us that it is God who is on the throne of the universe. There are some who still believe that this universe runs on ungoverned, that whatever happens, happens as a matter of blind fate. Others believe that the affairs of all men are in the hands of a few "masters of mankind.” Perhaps Augustus thought just that when he gave the command that all the world should be taxed. Little did he realize that he was only a tool used by God to carry out His plans for the salvation of mankind. The prophet had said that the Christ should be born in Bethlehem, and Augustus must make his contribution to the end that God's plans were carried out. It was so then; it is so now. We are not at the mercy of blind chance, nor are we the helpless victims of those "masters" who would push us about. We are the sons and daughters of Godl In His own way and in accord with His plans of mercy and love He will overrule even the tragic situations of life to bring us His blessings. This we learn from the Christmas story. This is why we celebrate Christmas. --REV. PAUL SONNACK, Instructor in Church History. Open Letter To All Alumni: As this issue of the Bulletin goes to press, your Alumni Sec- retary will be beginning his ﬁeld work. I look forward with great anticipation to seeing old Auggie classmates, and estab- lishing new friendships among those Auggies who have grad- uated in more recent years and who have taken their places of service in their various lines of endeavor. You have been informed that much of my time will be used in the procurement of students for Augsburg. My plans are to see the Pastor and Superintendent of Schools in each Lu- theran Free Church locality, as well as to visit Alumni and pros- pective students from these localities. My contacts will, of necessity, be hurried, since the area to be covered is so large. It perhaps will not be possible, because of distances and expense involved, to go further than Minnesota and its bordering state this year. But we would like to assure all friends of Augsburg that we need your assistance. If you know of a person who in your estimation is of college calibre, and whom you should like to see enroll at Augsburg, then we humbly beseech you to send us his name and address. Our office will see to it that your prospect receives appropriate literature. You will be doing the student and your school a real service. As I travel among you, I will be very much interested in do— ing what I can to promote local or district Alumni meetings. I hope that you will feel free to discuss with me your opinions on this subject. Think of it in this way: "What can we do to establish an activeﬁssociation in our area?" It was most pleasant to see so many of you at Homecoming. I believe that everyone who came had some vivid experience that will long live in the memory. The new Science Hall resounded with “Oh’s” and “Ah's” of-astounded people. A remark heard often was: “What a different Augsburg from what I knew—yet the ideals and aims are always the same." The Choir Concert was beautifully rendered to a full Trinity and touched at the heartstrings of all who heard. May I then take this opportunity to thank all of you, Alumni and friends, for your good wishes to this ofﬁce, both by letter and by word. We stand ready at all times to do what we can to promote the welfare of the "Augsburg Family." H. NORMAN HANSON. Continuous and multipliod reactions from BULLETIN roadors convince us that the news soction Ia "tops" in roador lntorost. Will you help us improvo tho nows covorago by supplying some items concerning yourself or othor Auggios? Somo ordinary sub- iects aro: marriogos, promotions, now positions, dogroos, doaths, achievement rocovds, otc. We will approciato tho information concerning oach itom boing as full as pouiblo. Io suro that namos oro spollod corroctly and all information is aocuroto.

Show moreThe Teaching of Natural Sciences At Augsburg DR. ARTHUR NASH, Dean of the College ED. NOTE: This is (be ﬁrst of a series of articles by which we hope to sbou' our readers just what is happening on the campus in [be matter of keeping step will) forward Educational Progress. To read and umlersfaml tbrse arliclrs is to appreciate that Augs- burg stamls ready and willing to be of service of the big/Jest order 10 all students who seek [be fundamental trill/1s in their choice of rotations. With the completion of the new Science building, Augsburg College is well equipped to offer training in chemistry, biology, and physics. There is suﬂicient lecture room space for each subject, as well as three laboratories for chemistry, two for biology, one for bacteriology and one laboratory for physics. All students who graduate from Augsburg Col— lege are required to complete at least one year of work in the natural sci— ences. They have the choice of a year of work con— sisting of a one-half year course in prin- ciples of chemistry and a one-half year course in principles of physics, a year of biology, a year of zoology, a year of botany or a year of physics. A major in the ﬁeld of chemistry requires a minimum DR' NASH of three years of work, consisting of eight credits in each of general inorganic chemistry, qualitative and quantitative chemistry, and general organic chemistry. This major equips a student well for high school teaching, for further graduate study, or for a position as a junior chemist in one of the in- dustries where testing is done or even for beginnings in industrial research. It is anticipated that before long a course in physical chemistry will be demanded by the pre-medical students thereby qualifying them, after four years of training in the natural sciences, for application for admittance to any medical school. Students who major in the ﬁeld of biology usually complete a year’s course in zoology, one year of botany, and one-half year of each in courses in ge- netics and ecology, for a total of twenty-four credits. Half-year courses in entomology and taxonomy of the flowering plants are available to students who want more training in biology. Additional credit may be earned by receiving training in microscopic tech- niques and in a course in biological literature. Even though the work in biology is intended pri- marily to prepare the student for high school teach- ing, he has opportunities in other ﬁelds, especially if he receives one year of additional graduate work. He may then be equipped for conservation work, fores— try, park ranger or park naturalist positions, or for research in biology. Some of the students choose to major in chemis— try and minor in biology or vise versa for high school teaching. Others choose to take a combined major in the natural sciences for high school teaching. Such a combined course consists of two years of biology, two years of chemistry and one year of physics. The advantage of a combined natural science major for teaching is that the student becomes qualiﬁed to teach in any of the ﬁelds of chemistry, biology, physics or general science in the high schools. It has become ne— cessary to offer two courses in bacteriology, one for the students in home economics and for others in- terested in the ﬁeld, and one for nurses. This year Augsburg College is offering the ﬁrst year of training for the students of nursing from the Deaconess Hospital. These subjects consist of chemistry for nurses, human anatomy, psychology for nurses, microbiology for nurses, sociology and book studies of the Bible. At present there are demands for a combined course in na- tural science to be offered at Augsburg College and medical technicians' instruction to be offered by the Deaconess Hospital for students who want to become medical technicians in a hos- pital or a doctor's ofﬁce. Besides the course, principles of physics, there are two years of work in the ﬁeld of physics, engineering drawing and descrip- tive geometry available for pre~engineering students. Demands by an enlarged student body have made a number of the above-mentioned courses in natural science necessary. As chairman of the division of na- tural sciences the undersigned can, because of a com— petent teaching staff and excellent facilities, vouch for that excellent training. is given in the natural sciences at Augsburg College.

Show moreFall Football Prospects Brighten Redmen to Furnish Homecoming Opposition Things are "looking-up" athletically, too, at Augsburg. So far the record shows that the football team has tied a strong Mankato eleven; has been beat- en only by St. Thomas' Little Cigar Bowl Champs; has soundly trounced a good Bethel team and settled for a tie with Macalester. Incidentally, the game with St. Thomas was something to behold. Outweighed ﬁfteen pounds to the man, the Auggie line played St. Thomas to a standstill and in their own territory for a full quarter. It was only after 'whole team’ substitutions by the Tommies that our boys began to break and show the effects of tiring. The spirit is there this year and we believe that the remainder of the season, against more equal opposi- tion, will tell a different story for the Maroon and Grey. The Homecoming game at Nicolle: Park should really be one which Alumni should see. Plans are being made for a gala event—right down to the trimmings. Be there, Alumni. A special reserved sec- tion will insure you a good seat._—N. 9 Printed below is the Football Sched- ule for 1949. Clip it and get to see the 7T- games when the boys are in your area. We'll try to keep you abreast of activi- ties as they are to occur, as well as with what has transpired. HOME GAMES (At Nicollet Park) October 8: Macalester . . . . . . .8:oo P.M.
