Let me live in a house by the side of the road, Where the race of men go by— The men who are good and the men who are bad, As good and as bad as I.

In the acquirement of such a musical training as will give this mastery of details a very high and noble task is undertaken. Socrates, commenting upon the fact that many musicians are nervous and troubled by small things. declares that the balance must be kept by a sound study of the principles of the art and by a rational life, such as is suited to all men. True musical training keeps the balance. A wide and comprehensive range of study is required before one can, in any manner, be worthy of the name musician. The same wise authority further says that musical training is a more potent instrument than any other. because system and harmony find their way into the secret places of the soul, on which they mightily fasten, importing grace and making graceful the soul of him who is rightly educated. It is required of one, who wishes to thoroly know the art of music, that he shall know the essential forms of temperance, courage. liberty, magnificence and their kindred, as well as their contrary forms in all combinations. The body must be trained with infinite, painstaking practice, for the requirement of skill necessary to understand and interpret the mes- sage of the soul, or rather the body and the soul, must be trained to- gether, for otherwise the body can not express the soul. Think what our hands must do! \\'e are trying to train our fingers to express our souls. Selfcontrol is necessary to make them the instruments of preci- sion that they ought to be. It requires persistent effort to obtain results worth while. Even the proper execution of a simple finger exercise upon the piano is a dif- ficult task. When you have tried it with a View to perfection in every detail have you been satisfied with your accomplishment? But a music course requires more than training of the fingers; it is the development of the soul expressed thru an instrument. “There is no finer discipline of the mind than the careful, painstaking work which the production of a masterpiece of genius requires for its instrumental performance." THE GUIDE POST. For a number of years we have felt the lack of certain magazines in our library. With the limited means at the disposal of the Librarian, a number of standard magazines have been kept on the reading tables, but several excellent periodicals have out of necessity been omitted.

Tears welled up in the eyes of the venerable men as they listened to the reminisences of the early days at Augsburg. Rev. J. A. Bergh, 0f the class of 1869, spoke about “Augsburg in Marshall, \N'isconsin." Prof. J. H. Blegen and Rev. Peter Nilsen told about the development of Augsburg thruout the “seventies” and the “eighties”. Rev. K. B. Birkeland spoke on “The Board of Trustees". The Augsburg Glee Club, Prof. H. N. Hendrickson, and Mr. Melvin Olsen furnished music for the evening. On Sunday the scene of the festivities was shifted to Trinity Church, in order to accommodate the large number of people in attendance. At the morning service the church was filled and many people were turned away. It was a wonderful, impressive service. The Reverend Bernt St¢ylen, Bishop of Kristianssand, Norway, delivered the festival sermon. The eloquent sincerity of the venerable bishop moved the audience to profound emotions. He was a living example of the truth of which he spoke. Bishop St¢ylen was introduced by Rev. E. E. Gynild. of \Nillmar. Special music was rendered by the Trinity Church Choir. At the afternoon session various phases of the work of Augsburg Seminary were presented. Prof. P. A. Sveeggen spoke upon the subject "Augsburg as an Educational Institution.” His address may be procured in printed form upon application to the school authorities. The other two addresses of the afternoon were delivered by Rev. H. C. Caspersen and Rev. Asmund Oftedal. The subjects of their speeches were “Augs- burg as a Training School for Preachers” and “Augsburg and our Churches." The closing session of the Golden Jubilee was a meeting not soon to be forgotten. It was like the last evening of a student’s vacation. All seemed loathe to leave. The spirit of fellowship had so knit together the hearts of the old Augsburgers that they did not wish to part. The speeches of the evening made the bonds of brotherhood tighter. as the audience realized the increasing responsibilities of the friends of Augs- burg. These responsibilities were revealed in the light of past achieve- ments. Rev. M. A. Pederson and Dr. I]. O. Dyrnes showed the extent and significance of the work of the men of Augsburg in the foreign fields. Mr. Mons Hegg, a layman from Northwood, North Dakota, spoke of the manifold blessings which God in His infinite goodness has found it pleasing to shower upon the friends of Augsburg. He empha- sized the necessity of receiving these gifts in a spirit of thankful humility. Show less

The score was 35—18 in their favor. At first our team took the lead, but the fast opponents soon gained it and were never headed. Luther has won nearly all, if not all. the games they have played so far this season; so they were a formidable team to tackle. One thing which was especially evident with our team was that they were,0ut of practice already, and although they made some spurts at times, the fast pace of the game told on them too soon. The game as a whole was very fast and cleanly played. The two heavy guards of the Luther are a]- most like a wall; so it was difficult to work the ball into the vicinity of our goal. Harbo starred for our team with 3 field goals and 4 free throws, while Uhrich, Bloede and Scharfe starred for the winners. The line-up: Augsburg Plzalen Luther A. Harbo R. F. §loede R. Harbo L. F.

We know a score of young men who would deny the truth of this statement, and we can imagine that there are many who would hold with them. Nevertheless, we be- lieve it to be true. Let us look back into the past a moment. In former days, when life was less crowded with a multitude of diversions, young people had a greater opportunity to assimilate the elements of strong character. as they saw them expressed in the daily home life of their parents. The quiet influence of the mother heart, working its chastening effect upon the young. receptive child nature; the strong, character-forming will of the father. exacting obedience to all rightly constituted law; the inter- course of brothers and sisters. stimulating mutual respect and apprecia- tion and fostering sincere ambition: these were influences which fashioned men out of breathing clay-molds. In such environment men formed ideals of chivalry. honor, and respect for right. Strong, real men, like Lincoln. McKinley. and Roosevelt were products of home in- fluence of the old type. it was ever a maxim in the life of Theodore Roosevelt to spend part of his day with his family, in spite of all the manifold claims upon his time. He realized that only in the home can the worth-while sentiments and ideals of life be engendered. There alone are we infused with “the stuff that makes us men." Youth is not a period of life; it is a state of mind, an attitude to- ward the universal situation. A man grows old only as he loses sight of his ideals. The young people of our age are materialistic in spirit. \Vealth and amusement are the two motive factors in the majority of lives. Our young people are not losing sight of the worth-while ideals of life: they have lost sight of them already. Some have not had any ideals to lose sight of. “\’\’e must be amused,” our friends declare. "We must work less. so that we may have more time to enjoy the “higher things of life.’ " What are these “higher things of life" which they speak of? Chivalry? No. Sacrifice? N0. Obedience toward parents and other authority? No. Sympathy toward suffering man? N 0. Un— selfishness? No. Close communion with God and His Son Jesus, the Christ? No. A vision of the needs of a world of yearning, unsaved souls? No! \Vhat then are these “higher things of life” which our young people crave? Where are our young people on Sunday afternoon and evening, the day set aside by God for the contemplation of the higher things in life? “We must be amused," they declare, and run Show less

Veien var lang, saa at jeg blev meget trzet f¢rend jeg rak Augsburg. Jeg gik til- sengs med en gang 0g sovnet ganske snart. Om en liten stund var jeg i dr¢mmenes rike. Jeg fik slik en stor lyst til at gaa ned til skolens biblio- tek 0g laese dagens aviser. Det var mdrkt, men allikevel fandt jeg veien dithen. Da jeg gik forbi gymnastiksalen, fik jeg indenfra hQSre et saa- dant skraal 0g leven som jeg aldrig i mine levedage hadde h¢rt maken til. Jeg gik bort 0g aapnet d¢ren for at se hvad som var paafazrde. Jeg blev baade forskrzekket 0g forfzerdet da jeg saa det var skolens mest haabefulde maend som spillet “basket—ball”. Jeg traadte indenfor d¢ren, saa at jeg kunde faa se bedre, men da kom Mr. B¢e l¢pende 0g spurte om jeg hadde billet. “Billet,” sa jeg, “jeg traenger vel ikke billet, jeg som er demokrat.” Han sa ikke mer, stod bare stille 0g glante paa mig en stund, saa gik han til sin plads igjen 0g tok del i leken. Nu gik det hett til; de sloges om bolden, saa det var rent stygt at se paa.

How many of us shook the professor’s hand and looked into his eyes and told him how much we appreciated what he did for us? How many went into the President’s office and told the President what Augsburg had meant to us? And do the faculty members go up to one another and express their apprecia- tion when some one of them gives a good address. writes an especially good article or first—class poem. or does something else which is really worth while. and which means extra work for the professor concerned? And how about the professors' wives? Do they have little social gather- ings like faculty wives do in other colleges, or does each one “shift for herself” Do the faculty wives really feel that they have a great deal in common. or do they not realize that they are all part of one big family? But, you say. what has all this to do with a Greater Augsburg? My friend. it has everything to do with it, for in order to make Augsburg greater we must have a good healthy Augsburg College Spirit. And by college spirit I do not simply mean the Rah, Rah. noise of the basket-ball enthusiast. but I mean a real college spirit which will bind us all to- gether—which will bind the alumni to their Alma .l/ater; which will bind the students to one another and to the faculty; and which will bind the faculty members to the students and to one another. Let us get such a college spirit. Let us speak a good word for the faculty and for Augsburg wherever and whenever there is an opportunity. Let us put the hammer in the locker and Boost! Boostl! And then Boost Some More!!! — Among the out-of—town pastors who have visited Augsburg during the past month, are Rev. B. S. Sundal, Rev. Andeness, Rev. J. Houkom, Rev. E. Huset, and Rev. M. Vaageness. —The “Student's Literary Society" held its regular meeting Friday evening, March 12th: a good program was rendered, consisting of read- ings. music, and an address by Professor Busby. —— Rev.

The slogan of the hour is "It’s a great life, if we don’t weaken.” But the terrible truth is: We are weakening. In our enjoyment of the “higher things of life" we are losing sight of the higher things in life. We are losing sight of the worth-while principles which made our fathers men. We are trading our ideals for the “higher things of life.” Man grows old only by deserting his ideals. We are growing old fast these days. . '3’» A L U M N I 45' AUGSBURG’S GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY. (Continued) The important place of Christian education in civic life was the topic of the Saturday afternoon session. President George Sverdrup, Governor I. A. A. Burnquist, and Mayor I. E. Meyers were the speakers. Prof. Sverdrup spoke about the principles of the founders of Augs— burg. Their aspiration was to establish a school whose influence should not be reserved exclusively to the privileged few, but should extend to the many. They advocated equality of opportunity in all phases of life. They had come to America to seek freedom of worship. With religious liberty they linked social and academic equality. These principles they defended against all attacks. They acknowledged that all strength Came from God. who maintains justice, even as we of the present day realize that their success, which is our heritage, was dependent upon Him alone- Honorable ]. A. A. Burnquist, who followed, spoke about the in- fluence of enlightenment upon the social and political welfare of the nation. He lauded the work of our Christian educational inStltUfiOM for their contribution to the upbuilding of the moral character of our citizens. Honorable I. E. Meyers, mayor of Minneapolis, expressed the city’s gratitude for the benefit it has received from Augsburg Seminary during the past fifty years. He Commended the Norwegian Lutherans for their strict adherence to justice and duty. ' Between the afternoon and the evening sessions, a reception W35 given to all guests. During the meal, excellent music was rendered W the Augsburg Band and Glee Club. Opportunity was given for visitors to inspect the school. Tasty refreshments were served.

Byrden er tung nok at baere for den enkelte likevel. sip—1e— EXCHANGES ~———-<{$ One of our former exchanges, “The Crescent”. has again resumed its monthly appearance on our Exchange table. It has both improved in appearance and increased in size since we last examined and read it. This is perhaps due to the more consistent work of the present staff. The first department of the journal is “At the College". It is a record of the activities at the school. It also serves to announce coming events as they are planned. Permit us, in a friendly way, to point out a few grammatical errors, found in this department, which should not have been overlooked. On page six we find several mistakes in gram- mar. The noun “result” does not agree with the verb “are” as to num- ber. In another instance “illuminating” should have been used instead of the word “illumination”. On the following page we find the word “practical” where “practically” is the correct word to use. On page seven Robert Speer is spoken of as “the gigantic spiritual upbuilder of the human race." We admit that Speer is a great man, but is not that over- stating the position which the man really occupies? In another instance we would suggest that the phrase. “which possesses the, perhaps, greatest literature of modern times," should be written thus: “which possesses perhaps the greatest literature of modern times.” Would it not be more fitting to have this section of the paper further out instead of first? In the “Literary” department we find some very good articles. “Hoodooed” is an interesting story. The interest leads gradually up to I climax where the reader finds that it is only a dream. The article en- titled “The Student Volunteer Convention” is a good report of the hap- penings of that great event. But the author must have been rather lusty in writing the article. We judge this by the many errors which he has made. Numerous mistakes have been made in punctuation, gram- mr, and spelling. At times he is not easily understood, due to incoherent Icatence structure. I shall point to a few such enrors. “Statemen” is used where “statesmen” is the correct word to use. Should not a comma be placed after the phrase, “if this is done,” on page 24? On the following page the singular verb “was” is used with the compound Slibject “needs” and “conditions”. It is customary to capitalize the word "Christian". “Missionarie‘s” should have been written “missionaries’ ” Show less
