Sun- shine and rain nourished it day after day, year after year, until one day a woodcutter stood before it, axe in hand. “This tree will make good boards,” he said. “I’ll use them to build a wall.” And the tree was felled. It was very good timber; it made very fine boards. But they were never used for a wall. Cruel hands fastened the timber to- gether with a spike. They made of it — a cross. A cross of wood, it was a crude and ugly thing. And yet even today, unnoticed by the busy world, it stands bleakly outlined against the sky. Centuries come and centuries go and still it stands, defying time. Unusual wood, you say? But that’s because you haven’t seen the cross. I saw it once, and as I gazed, it burned itself upon my breast and left its imprint on my heart. This cross for me has now become the key to Heaven’s gate, for on it all my sins were nailed.

Show moreHumble Yet Great AS we view the struggling mass of humanity we are constantly brought in contact with so-called “great men” — those whose influence is felt throughout the entire civilization; men who blaze trails and in whose steps others gladly follow; leaders whose dynamic personalities electrify nations. These people are classed in a group all by themselves as a distinct and revered few. Yet, as we see mankind, who really is great? In our day, powerful leaders such as Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, and others have risen, usurping dictatorial powers over nations of people. Millions go at their bidding, and nations fear their pow- erful iron hand. Civilization itself seemingly hangs in a balance, waiting for these men to decide. The great war which generally is attributed to a few leaders progresses because no one will yield. Yes, these dictators seem great. But if we raise this question, “Why and how are these men strong?” They simply won their position at the expense of others. Humanity must suffer to fur- ther their selfish plans. Few are benefited by their actions. Under a righteous cloak they continue wrecking out injustices and heart— ache wherever they go. The eyes of the world focus upon them waiting in “fear and trembling.” Directly opposite to this group of dictators, we find another which is also great. We find many in our day, and History tells us of important men who have done much good for the benefit of Humanity. Countless numbers of scientists such as Pasteur, Har- vey, Galileo and others have spent lifetimes discovering new things for the use of man. Without their findings we would be lost. Today these men are constantly making new findings which will guard man from further suffering by the ravages of disease. Others are providing enjoyment for everyone by great speeches, immortal masterpieces of literature, music, and art. All these will be remembered throughout the ages for their sterling work in the interest of humanity. Time does not permit us to go into detail but the examples we have seen are of the caliber we often call “great.” Yet, these men are honored, loved and their memories are cherished by everyone. They receive their reward in part. They, too, are only humans. Many in our day go about unnoticed by the rush of man. Those are the more common people who do their work without heralded DIAL 12 Show less

The maple was no more a churchly tree: She hid her gothic form and laughed with glee. She wore a leafy dress. a garment gay. That rustled in the happy breeze all day.

MARGARET CHRISLOCK, ’40 Miserable Wretch HE Chinese beggar is a most wretched specimen of human- ity. “There is no mistaking the man.” It is nothing short of a miracle how his tattered “clothes” hang together. His rags consist of all shades and materials from old worn-out garments. As to his hair, —it is a virtual rat’s nest—dishevelled and matted. One could never even begin to wend a comb through the tangled jungle. The accumulated dirt of years lies on his body in scummy layers, especially noticeable in the wrinkles and deep hollows of his face. His scaly “armour” protects him conveniently from the one thing he abhors—water. He is satisfied in his filth, never at- tempting in the slightest to rid himself of his foul acquisitions. There is no detail in his entire constitution that is passany clean or non—repugnant. Rarely does a beggar not have a never-healing, raw and bleed- ing sore, thrust out ostentatiously before the eyes of the public. 25 DIAL i «Nuiw'ifla‘ I .2 44-2 v; :- 1 Show less

Show moreMilking a Cow I AM a city slicker born and bred, but I pride myself on a well- rounded and cosmopolitan background. Unlike the ordinary pavement-pounder, I—and I say it in humble modesty—I have seen a cow! I know that milk, that precious fluid that builds big muscles and strong bones, is not a patented product but that it is manufac- tured somewhere within the anatomy of a cow. And from per- sonal observation I will stake my reputation that a cow is a quad- ruped of the bovine clan, being the female of the specie. Twice a day the milk is stripped from Frau Cow who patiently utters no complaint. I know. I even milked a cow once. “Milking” is a serious business which requires careful planning and at least a working knowledge of what it’s all about. Being a temperamental creature, she practically insists that she be milked from her right side. Generations of cows have been milked from the right side, so there’s a touch of sentiment there, too. Two pieces of equipment are necessary and essential to the novice, and experienced, would-be milker: first, a pail — to be used as a temporary container for the milk; and second, a one—legged stool—absolutely required, though Heaven knows why—it's an art in itself to balance them. Armed with the proper “props” and located at the humble crea- ture’s starboard side, you will find four spigots located on the lower left-hand corner. Place the pail between your knees, grasp one of these spigots in each hand, and squeeze. Nothing happens? Maybe it’s your grip. “If at first you don’t succeed—” try one hand at a time. Start at the top with your thumb and fore-finger, and squeeze as you rapidly roll each finger down—using much the same technique as you would in squeezing out a wet rag. Continue the operation with both hands and in half an hour I’ll absolutely guarantee that you should have, in addition to ten numb and aching digits, at least a half an inch of scrummy look- ing liquid in the bottom of the pail, and a sadly bewildered cow. Science comes to the rescue. I’ll wager that you will join me in outspoken praise and whole-hearted commendation for that won- DIAL [6 was»...— .,A~4_,..~_e.a.;. 4. Show less

Show moreOn Being Tall “MY, Inez, but you’re getting to be a great big girl!” That's all I’ve heard for the last ten years. All the friends of the family invariably have made that remark each time they have seen rne. Yes, it irks me, but an instinctive respect for my neck has al- ways prevented me from doing anything rash. I know that I’m tall, they wouldn’t always have to remind me of it. But I get even with them by mentally choking each and every one. Really, I haven’t minded so much because I shall always be able to look down on them —or at least on most of them. Being tall has its advantages, too—I’ve always been able to reach the cookie jar and I’ve had no trouble at all in spying Christmas presents about the middle of November. Another thing, while I rather envied my playmates who always wore “boughten” dresses I took pride in that mine at least were individual. No six or eight or ten other girls came out in dresses like mine. No sir, and that means a lot to a girl. Iflwgwhmeummmdowrdmlwmkofmygklfikmk—a sort of Mutt and Jeff combination. But somehow I forgot about my height except when these family friends came along. My girl friends didn’t seem to care. And I didn’t either, at least not much, because I played center on our basketball team for two years and that was a coveted position. Of course when I got to be a Senior in High School and class play time came around I did sort of want to play the part of the heroine (what girl doesn’t?) but I knew that I was a good two inches taller than the leading man so I tried out for the part of the eccentric old landlady. I got it and I guess I had the last laugh because the heroine got scarlet fever the day before the play so our dramatics teacher had to play the part. Guess who got the newspaper writeup? \‘ot the heroine! She got scarlet fever. Not the dramatics coach. She was just a fill in —. (incidentally, she got a $10 raise). Yes, none other than that great big girl — she got it. Being the tallest of a group I usually had to turn out the light and find my way in the dark, but then I was a big girl and big girls aren‘t afraid — at least not very much. DIAL 6 Show less

Show more57 AUGSBURG THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY PRINCIPLES AND ORGANIZATION Augsburg Theological Seminary, the training school for the pastors and missionaries of the Lutheran Free Church, offers a regular three'year course of preparation for the Christian ministry. In harmony with the Principles of the Lutheran Free Church it aims to stress particularly the training of spiritual leaders and pastors dedicated to the ideal of building Lutheran congregations where the spiritual Gifts of Grace are freely cultivated and nur' tured under the authority of the Word and the guidance of the Spirit. Admission The normal prerequisite for admission to the Seminary is the Bachelor's degree from a liberal arts college. By special arrange— ment, however, it is possible for a student to complete both the Arts course and the Seminary course at Augsburg in six years. According to this plan, the three years of college work must in, clude a minor. The major is granted in the field of Christianity. Candidates for admission to the Seminary are required to sub mit to the Secretary of the Theological Faculty the following documents: 1. A transcript of their academic record in college. 2. Two letters of recommendation from pastors. One of these should be from the pastor of the candidate's local church. 3. A personal statement by the candidate concerning his back— ground, spiritual experience, and doctrinal convictions. The Committee on Admissions consists of the Faculty and the Board of Directors elected by the Annual Conference of the Lu' theran Free Church. l l I! l Show less

This record should be sent in before September 15. Students who have obtained the required fifteen high school units may be admitted, without examination, to the Freshman Class of the College. All candidates for admission must present the following units: Four units of English, including Outlines of English and Amer ican Literature; or three units of English and tw0 units of a foreign language. Two units of Social Studies. One unit of Mathematics. Students deficient in English will be required to pursue a course of preparatory study in this subject in order that they may qualify for classification in Freshman English. Such deficiency and the requirements with regard to preparatory training will be deter mined at the beginning of the Freshman year by means of tests in oral, written, and literary work. The requirements include the attainment of definite standards as to spelling, grammar, pronunr ciation, and general correctness in the use of the English language. After the Freshman year, students who are found deficient in English are reported to the English Department and required to take work to remedy their deficiency. Advanced standing in any subject is granted to students who present satisfactory credentials from other institutions showing that they have pursued the subject to the same extent as required in this college. Freshman Guidance During the first days of school special opportunities will be afl'orded the freshmen to become acquainted with college aims and ideals. The incoming student will be helped to find himself through guidance as to what the college expects of him socially, morally, intellectually, and spiritually. Church allegiance, choice of studies, college standards of scholarship, social requirements, and other necessary matters will be considered. Show less

Augsburg College also 05ers training to young people who wish to prepare themselves for graduate work in certain specific fields or for high school teaching. The College further provides a general cultural education for those who do not wish to pursue any of the abovementioned lines of study. This work is all done on the basis of Christianity. The students who come are invited to take up their college work with this distinct understanding that the Christian spirit is determining in all things. They are asked to cooperate willingly in the program of the school towards this end. The entire program of the school, curricular and extracurricular, and the discipline thought wise in order to make possible the carrying out of this program, spring from the aim to see all things “through the eyes of Christ." Upon this understanding the student is invited to come, and enrolment in Augsburg College and Seminary presupposes on his part full cooperation in the ways prescribed for the attainment of these goals. History Augsburg Seminary was founded in 1869, at Marshall. Wisconv sin. It was the first theological seminary started by Norwegian Lutherans in America. Through an arrangement with a private institution known as Marshall Academy the Seminary was housed in the academy building. Students who needed further preparat tion in academic subjects were to obtain this in the academy. This arrangement failed to work out harmoniously, so the theological group moved to a private dwelling, where classes continued until 1872. In the autumn of that year the Seminary was removed to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where a building had been erected for its use. In the same year the school was incorporated under the laws of Minnesota. The aim of the institution was to train ministers for the Luv theran congregations which were being organized in growing numv Show less

Under the direction of the Department of Physical Education a wide range of activities of a recreational nature is arranged for general student participation. Every student is urged to find some activity in which to participate for his own pleasure and recreation. Correcreational activities such as skating parties, winter sports days, skip day, informal hiking, and community singing are part of the program. Informal play periods are sponsored on a lighted play field and in the gymna' sium throughout the fall and spring. Intramural Department. Through the intramural department competition is maintained in six’man touchball, Park Board basket‘ ball, interclass basketball, ping pong, badminton, diamondball, handball, archery, volleyball, tetherball, horseshoe, tennis, shufl’le' board, and hockey. Four basketball teams and one hockey team are entered annually in the Park Board Leagues. These teams are equipped and sponsored by the Department of Physical Educa' tion and play a regular schedule of games throughout the winter. Intercollegiate Athletics. Augsburg is a member of the Minv nesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The college is rep! resented annually by teams in football, basketball, baseball, track, tennis, and golf. The “A” Club. Membership in the “A” Club is limited to all men who have won a major A at Augsburg. The aim of this organization is “to bind the ‘A’ men of the past, present, and future into a more intimate bond of fellowship, and to keep the athletics of Augsburg on the highest possible plane." Women’s Athletic Association. The Women‘s Athletic Associa' tion is an honorary organization. Membership is gained by par» ticipation in individual and group recreation activities with awards given on a point basis. The Augsburg W. A. A. is a member of the Minnesota Athletic Association of College Women. Music Augsburg College Choir. Best known among the musical or! ganizations at Augsburg is the Augsburg College Choir, consistr ing of about fortyrfive members.
