Prof. Christiansen had his violin along and by his excellent playing greatly enhanced the musical value of our programs. On the trip to Norway the quartettc was made up of Prof. Reimestad, Prof. Nydahl. Rev. Th. Fossum. and Stud. (later Prof.) Oscar Gro’nseth. Besides those already mentioned the following men were members of Augsburg Quartette while students at Augsburg. but did not go on any extended tour with it: Rev. Arne Berg, Prof. ll. .\. Lil'seth. .l’rof. ll. N. llendrickson. Rev. J. L. Bestul. Rev. laulvig l’edersen. Rev. Martin lx’omstad. and l’rof. Carl Melby. On its travels in the interest of temperance and prohibition the quartette also became instrumental in creating enthusiasm for music and singing among the young people in the congregations as well as temperance societies. and choirs were started in many places where chorus singing had been unknown before. This led further to the organization of the Norwegian Lutheran Choral Union. which on the initiative of Prof. l\’eimestn(l. l\'ev. M. Falk Gjertsen, Rev. B. B. Haugan and others. was organized in Trinity Church, Minneapolis, Jan. 30. 1892. In a short time over 70 choirs joined the choral association, and some very successhi'I “sangerferts” were held in Minneapolis. Eau Claire. Duluth, Mankato, and other cities. After the trip to Norway. the Augsburg Quartette disbanded, but a suc— cessor to it. the Augsburg Glee Club. was shortly afterwards organized by Prof. H. N. Hendrickson, who for a number of years was its leader and instructor. The Glee Club still exists and has had a varied membership. Its present instructor is Prof. Harry Anderson. The Glee Club has made several short concert tours. assisted by Harry Anderson and Melvin Olson as soloists. and Prof. George Sverdrup and Prof. 11. N. llendrickson as speakers. A sextette, the Augsburg Sextette, made up of picked voices from the Glee Club and under the leadership of Prof. llen'lrickson. spent two sum— mers, 1909 and 1912, giving concerts throughout the northwestern states. The following students were members of the sextette: 'l‘heodore Blegen. Thorvald Olsen Bjorntvedt, and Job. \\'inter. on both tours; ll. Oscar Hanson and Lawrence Sateren. on the ﬁrst tour only; Joseph Michaelson and John Rodvik, on the last tour only. Of other musical organizations at Augsburg the orchestra and the band should be mentioned. Both have contributed their bit to concerts and other entertainments at Augsburg and have also given concerts in various places outside of Minneapolis. The visits made by these different musical organizations to congrega- tions in the Lutheran Free Church have been greatly appreciated by the people. They have brought the seminary and its friends closer together and helped to advertise Augsburg as a good school for young men. J. L. NYDAHL. PAGE SIX’I‘Yl‘lVE

Show more\\\ \\\\ ,mmwMN In the fall of 1881 a bold step was taken. A new paper. called "Studentcr— bladet." was started, and this was to be printed. Accordingly; in December of the same year. the ﬁrst number appeared. consisting of eight pages. In an introductory article. _l.'l'l. Blegen. editor—in-chief. gave the aim of the paper in the following words: “ ‘Studenterbladet' skal ‘bidrage til at slutte os Studerende nzermere sammen om fzclles lnteresser. s;erlig til liremme af den aandelige 0g literzere Sands iblandt os.‘ l)ern;est vil det ogsaa gjcrne ‘bidrage til at bringe Eleverne i en mere direkt‘e Forbindelse med dem ude i Folket. som maattc omfatte Skolen og Stiulenterne med lnteresse.’ og deres Tal er vistnok ikke saa lidct." The ﬁrst page contained also the fol- lowing poem: “Studenterblmlet" er mit Navn, I’aa Augsburg blev jeg fn'dt. Nu skal jog ud at gjm‘e (lam. Men frygter jeg blir nodt Til tidt at ddie bitter Nod. {la maasko mode hastig Dad. At slutte rundt en fielles Sag Enhver Student, her er, 0g vmkke llOS dem Sands 0g Smag.

Her er min Plan troskyldigt lagt, Jeg gaar nu ud — men er forsagt. As to the reading matter the paper would provide for its subscribers. the following passage. found also in the ﬁrst number. points out: “livad dette Blads Indhold i det specielle angaar. da vil en vzesentlig Del derat blive aesthe- tisk Laesning. saasom Digte. Fortaellinger. Athandlinger o. s. \'.: dernzest Indsendelser 0g Korrespondancer, Referater fra Moder ved Skolen. Med- delelser fra den literaere Verden, Skolenyheder og Anekdoter." As may be readily inferred from the foregoing extracts. the paper was written almost entirely in the Norwegian language. However. now and then an article written in English would appear. “Sttulenterbladet” was to be published once each month during the school year. and its subscription price was twenty-ﬁve cents per year. It was enthusiastically received by students and people as well, and for a time prospered; but the ﬁnancial side of it was weak, and, as was feared. it met a hasty death. The last number ap— peared in November, 1883. Only three men had the opportunity of serving as editors-in-chief of the paper; these were J. H. Blegen. 'l‘heo. S. Reimestad. and Wilhelm Pettersen.

The names of these two papers were “l’remskridt og' lit‘itik" and “Storm of" Stille." “Fremskridt 0g Kritik” was controlled by the Students' Society. and, therefore. was the literary publication of the school as a whole. “Storm og‘ Stille" was “published” by the “Nationale (“)velscsft)rening." Both of the papers were written. not printed. and were read at the meetings of the societies. Great care was taken in the writng of the papers, however. and very neat and artistic copies were made. The papers came out every two weeks. and new editors were elected each month. 'l‘hey contained essays and poems. with an occasional anecdote from student life. Very interesting and instructive articles were often written. 'l‘he publications were started in 1876, and continued to appear until 1881. l',\Hl2‘ SI‘IVI‘ZN'I'Y

But the beginning, which the men connected with the above- mentioned publications had made, incited in the students after them a desire to establish a permanent publication. Many expressed the wish that they would like to see such a paper formed. Finally, in December, 1898, the “Augsburg Ekko” made its debut. It was much larger than the previous publications: new departments were added. and the English language was used to a greater extent. \Vith these modiﬁcations it proved a success. After twenty-two years of development, we have “The Augsburg Echo” of today. It is edited by a staff of men elected by the Students’ Society. The greater part of the paper is written in English, but each number con- tains several articles written in the mother tongue. A large place is given to the relating of happenings and achievements at school, but the main part of the publication is the literary department with its poems, essays, and short stories wherein the literary efforts of students are set forth. Thus far, “The Augsburg Echo” has played its part well. May it continue to do so! Friends of Augsburg can help the cause along a great deal by sending in articles, by subscribing for the paper, and by supporting it in other ways.

The lone cobbler at his bench patiently drives his pegs. each blow of his hammer being counted as one step toward his goal. The plodding farmer with his plow turns the soil in his ﬁeld. The woodsman in the forest steadily swings his gleaming axe to the rythm of vanishing echoes. The engineer at his levers intermittently releases tons upon tons of energy. Thousands of nimble hands work as one mighty unit in the highly specialized factories. The whole world struggles onward toward material achievement. The wise men of the ages call it progress. prosperity. civilization. It is a turbulent stream, a rushing of a mighty water. which sweeps with it the lives of many men. But what of the deeper signiﬁcance of life? Are there not values greater than that of conscious achievement? Is there not a more potent force to be reckoned with in the progress of civilization than that of action? As I sit in the stillness of the night. I pause to weigh the worth of man’s work.— It is night. The wheels of industry are still. and the hands of labor are relaxed. The minds of men are recovering strength for the tasks of the coming day. But the morrow will be as the past day was. There will be no cessation of toil. The urge of necessity will drive man to the same tasks. Will there he no end to this drift of circumstance? In the silences of the night I hear a voice. It is the yearning cry of man- kind: Where is contentment and happiness? I pause to listen. Eagerly l strain to hear the answer to the mighty question. Borne on the wings of night. it Comes. rolling down the centuries from the creation of time. It comes as a faint echo of a distant tide. Yet clearly and distinctly I hear the words: Happiness. my lad. is a condition within you. It is engendered in the soul. . The fusion of the voices of generations speaks these mighty words. They come echoing down the Corridor of Time. But mankind does not hear. The hum of industry. the loud acclaim of achievement. the garrulous words of the prophets of fallacy obscure the syllables uttered by the voice of ages. At night. the music of pleasure. the drowsiness of fatigue. and the oblivion of slumber. deaden the tones of the voice of the past. Mankind hears not the words of time and eternity: Happiness. my lad. is engendered within your soul! l’.\(il'l SEVHN'J‘Y-EIGH’I'

Show moreConcordia HE CONCORDIA SOCIETY is the literary and business organization of the 'l‘heological Department. For many years it has had the reputation of being the most staid and digniﬁed society at school. It is one of the oldest of our literary societies; so probably it has acquired dignity thru age. This year the work of the Concordia Society has been conﬁned mainly to business matters. The literary and ediﬁcational phases of the work have been left to other societies. especially to the Mission Society. There is one function of the Concordia Society which has not received sufﬁcient public notice. This is the maintainance of the Theological Library. From a mere shelf in the corner of the general library, this branch has grown. until it now occupies its own room, and prides itself over several hundred volumes of choice theological literature. Many of the books are extremely valuable. as they are exceedingly rare and cannot be purchased in the book market. The Theological Library is annually increased, thru funds provided by the members of the Concordia Society. President. 0. J. Haukeness; vice-president, Bernhard A. Helland; secre- tary-treasurer. Helge Rud. The Medical Aid Society HE MEDICAL All) SOCIETY is an old institution at Augsburg, and, during its many years of existence. it has proved itself to be an extremely valuable organization to the student. The society has for its purpose: to aid students when ill or injured. All students rooming in the dormitories are members. Students who room else- where, but who board at Augsburg. may also become members. A small fee (usually about $1.50 per year) is paid by the student, and no other obligations are laid upon him. The treasury thus formed is used in helping to defray the expenses of the students who require medical aid during the year. Students who have become sick during their stay at Augsburg have been very thankful that the society has existed; but also those students who have passed throuin school without needing medical attention have been glad to have had the opportunity of contributing to the society that other students might be beneﬁted thereby. l’.-\ G E SEVEN’I‘Y-FOUR '.:.:;I4 4;

Whether the student is in possession of much or little information on the subject in hand, is of little consequence; he argues nevertheless. Often the argument becomes so heated that one fears that friendships are severed. but such is not the case. After all is over there still remains a spirit of mutual respect and understanding. ' As one harks back to school days he instinctively calls to mind the pleas- ant hours spent in the dining-hall, the scraps of conversation, the bits of humor and pleasantries. the many faces. ranging from boyish “preps” to digniﬁed theologians, and above all. the cherished friendships of those with whom he became more intimate. Occasionally an alumnus pays the club a visit. Invariably he becomes reminiscent and the days that are gone are recalled. In his. day the club was located in the basement of the building and board was to be had for ﬁfteen or twenty cents per day. Now the club has been moved up three stories and the cost of board has made a corresponding three-story advance as well. Then too our alumnus recalls the day of the wood-pile and the stove. of which students in these days of steam heat are blissfully ignorant. But times have changed. Here are new surroundings and new faces, but not. as some would have it. a new spirit. The spirit of Augsburg may mani- fest itself diﬁerently as the years go by. but we do not agree that there has been a departure from the true spirit which has prevailed at our Alma Mater in the past.

Show more®s® ,RBN S I sit in the watch hours of the quiet night. my mind weighs in its human balances the considerations of life and its achievements. The elemental values of life seem to separate themselves into two streams: one a rapid, turbulent current; the other a deep-running. broad river. The swift stream is composed of the acts and accomplishments of man. 'l‘he smooth. placid river is the internally developed cha "acter of man. Youth appreciates conscious achievement; but as man grows olde ' and matures thru experience. he realizes the signiﬁcance of the simple character that patiently endures. The dreams of youth are incredible mafric. when interpreted in the per- spective of mature man. The visions of youth are the impetus of achieve— ment. But they are dreams; they have the texture of mist-clouds. incor- poreal, evanescent. Nevertheless. to the youth they are real: they are the actuality of life itself. For the young man. conscious acts alone bear sig- niﬁcance. He sees the future as a succession of IlCCUlIl])llSlll’llclltS. steps to a higher plane of action. Obstacles which beset his path present to him concrete difﬁculties which can be surmounted only by conscious mental or physical effort. Life becomes to him a series of achievements. with success as the ultimate goal. Success—to the youth it is synonymous with content- ment. When will youth, the spinner of illusions, realize his fallacy? Still. probably it is well that life is as it is. \\'ho knows? PAG I‘I SEVENTY-SEVEN

Our “Y” Hut .-\\'IN(". spent twenty-one months in an army cantonment in the States, and having spent some part of almost every day in a Y. M. C. A. hut, I shall tell about our particular hut much as I would about my home; for such it was to me. as well as to many others. Conﬁning myself strictly to that phase of Y. M. C. A. work with which I am familiar; namely, that done in the eantonments in the States. I feel prompted to give personal experiences of one who found the “Y” hut a home for a homesick young man. Our building, serving a small. detached section of camp. was but a small building and more homelike becauseof this fact. It was possibly thirty feet wide by seventy feet long. There is a platform at one end and a desk at the other. and along the walls. on either side. are shelves and benches. The windows are draped with curtains in which one can easily see the touch of a mother’s hand. The furnishings are simple; a piano and a phonograph on the platform. a table back by the desk. covered with religious and edu— cational literature. and in the corner a few shelves ﬁlled with books on all subjects. The keeper of this house. our secretary, is a large man physically, men- tally. and morally. He is quite tall and Well built, in fact a little stout. His. face is full and round. and the corners of his eyes and mouth suggest a smile, and that facial expression he wore in all his waking hours. In civil life our secretary is a business man and an upright and thorough-going Chris- tian. devoted to Christ and His kingdom on earth and to temporal and spiritual service among his fellow—men.

We saw Japan geographically and industrially. especially her great silk industry. Not only foreign lands, but also places of interest in our own country, were shown; notably, the Co— lumbia highway. which follows the Columbia River from near its source to its mouth; and the electriﬁed portion of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway. as it cr0sses the Great Divide. Thru pictures we were also made acquainted with different manufactur- ing processes; such as. the cut glass industry, showing the different stages of the process as the material changed from sand to the ﬁnished product ready for the tables of the well—to-do; and. also. bread making, from the planting of the wheat to the delivery of the wrapped loaf t0 the home of the consumer. Educational work was accomplished also by organization of classes for the study of various subjects. French classes were quickly organized in all the huts. but owing to the shifting of the men. the work dwindled and soon died. The Motor Transport Corps was located in our section of camp and. through the combined efforts of the ranking sergeant and the Y. M. C. A. secretary. a class in motor mechanics was organized at the hut. which proved very popular. especially during the winter months. Another educational method employed was lecturing. Lectures were generally given by college professors from nearby schools. These men were experts in their lines, each one having a thorough knowledge of the subject upon which 11* addressed his audience. The subjects covered were various. ranging from agriculture and cattle-raising to home—building and landscape gardening. The lectures were often accompanied by lantern slides, which were actual pictures of results obtained by experiments by the lecturer himself, showing the subject before and after. In other cases. samples were produced for examination. and for a lecture on fruit-tree care and sprayinc. a young tree was dug up, roots and all. and placed on the lecturer’s platform. The lectures were. as a rule. short and to the point. with enough details to be interesting and. abov» all, to be practical. Combining the educational and the social. the Y. M. C. A. but put on en- tertaimnents for us. These entertainments were not of the nature of most performances of our day. They educated and lifted up. rather than enter— tained. In the ﬁrst place. the performers were not mercenary, but believed in their art. whether vocal or instrumental. They ranged from performers on the Chautauqua circuit. down through college students and church soloists, to children. The performances ranged from the little musical sketch of the Cold Dust Twins to selections from operas by the girls’ glee club from Coe College. There were readings. violin solos. vocal ducts. and solos, instru- mental and vocal duets and trios. and choruses. After all. education is as much a matter of the heart as of the head. and music. more than any other art. penetrates to the soul of a human being and prepares it for a worth-while education.

He is a good “mixer,” is popular with the boys and has little trouble getting them interested in some project and eager to carry it out. Though unconscious of it, his character and per- sonality became the foundation for his work there. This much for the house and its keeper, and now for the service they rendered to those whom they were set there to serve. The physical development was cared for in every other part of the camp by the ofﬁcers in the army; so little attention was given this side of human life by the Y. M. C. A. secretaries. However. in our section of the camp, most of the men worked indoors and at work which required mental instead of physical exertion; so our secretary encouraged the men to keep physically ﬁt by exercising in leisure hours. Physical exercise and exertion was nece:- sary to keep the men in good condition. and only through the work of the Y. M. C. A. was this possible. \Yith natural tact our secretary made the men eager for this form of diversion and in fair weather and foul. winter and summer. athletic games were in progress at this place. either indoors or out. By starting the games and participating in them. our secretary created an interest among the men which made the work successful. The outdoor games included, of course, baseball. kittenball, modiﬁed football. basket—ball. and horseshoe pitching. the latter threatening at one time to put all other games out of the running. as many as three or four sets being played at one time. Of indoor games. there were any number with the medicine ball, rope—climbing contests. manipulation of the Indian-clubs. and various and sundry feats of strength and agility. But the grand indoor and outdoor game, that lived and helped us to live and make a name for our hut, was volley-ball. This game was intro- duced into our hut in the winter. and although the room in which we played was small and the ceiling was low. our spirits were high, and thus was initiated the agency that was destined to make our little hut known through— out the length and breadth of the camp. The fact that letters in the process of manufacture were mussed up; checkers. in some close match. dashed to the ﬂoor; newspapers. being perused with interest, struck from the hands of the reader; and interesting discussions interrupted by the unceremonious intru— sion of the volley-ball. only seemed to increase interest in the game. \\'hen summer returned, we remé'wed to the outdoors and there many matches of interest and importance to us were played. Thus far we have seen the hut, the keeper, and the promotion of activi- ties along physical lines. Now let us look at the educational work that the Y. M. C. A. did for our beneﬁt, particularly in our lint. In its educational work the Y. M. C. A. made use of pictures to a great extent. \Vith pictures we were introduced to many places and conditions of interest. Foreign countries, of which Americans as a whole are ignorant. were presented viv— idly to us. \Ve were shown the South Sea Islands in all their tropical splen— I’A Git} EIGHTY-THREI‘I
