Proposed housing and industrial expansion will also be a prime factor in the re-develop- nient. Augsburg has for a number of years been acquiring properties in the area on a limited scale to en- large the‘campus. It now appears that it may be possible for the college to have a major part in the over-all re-developnient of the Riverside area and may, at the same time. find it possible to ac- quire a campus through the re- development program by joining hands with the city of Minneapolil and other interests involved in the area. Meantime, an alternate pro- gram of expanding the campus is held in abeyance pending the out- come of conferences in the next few weeks with the various inter- ests involved.

In seeking an answer to this vital question. the Board of Trustees has initiated iii- tciisive studies to dewlup a long range plan. Enrollment projections indicate that Augsburg may ex- pect its student h0(l\’ of 900 to double in the next ten to twelve Wars. A long range plan will guide decisions of the Board of Trustees affecting expansion of the faculty. the curriculum and the physical plant. Martin Quanlwck. Dean of the College, is director of the studies. Mr. Ray Andeison is chairman of the faculty study committee. This committee has nearly completed its study of objectives and pur- poses and is now moving into the second area. that of program of the college and characteristics of the student body. The third area of study will be facility needs. The faculty study. thorough and iii-tailed, will be completed in two years.

DR. CARL W. BLEGEN, professor of classical archaeology at the University of Cincinnati and field director of their archeological ex- peditions to Turkey and Greece. was one of three Americans so honored this year by the British university. Dri Blegen graduated from Augsburg in 1904-. A profound respect for scholarship was his heritage from the culturally rich home of his professor-father and the school where the professors shared intimately with their stu- dents thc enthusiasms of study trips to Greece or conferences in Europe. This led him to study history and archaeology at the University of Minnesota. Yale. and the Ameri- can school of classical‘studies in Athens, Greece He received his l’h.D. degree from Yale ['nivcr- sit). He has served all positions from secretar} to director of the American school of classical stud- ies in Athens. During the war per— iods l)r. Blegen rendered special scnices to his country in the American Red Cross. the Office of Strategic Services in Washing- ton, D.C. and as Cultural Rela- tions Attache in the American Embassy, Athens, Gréece. Dr. Ble- gen received honora degrees from Yale, University 0 Oslo, and the University of Thessalonike, Greece. He is a member of learn- ed societies both in America and E u r o p e. Besides his published books he continues to contribute to archeological publications. DR. BLEGEN IS IN Greece now contribution to classical archaeology. >\s a result of the action of the church conference. merger with other Lutherans again becomes a possibility. if the merger is con- summated, Augsburg will auto- matically become one of the edu- cational institutions of the new church. Even though its support then becoma‘ the responsibility of the whole church, it is likely that the people of the present LFC con- gregations will continue to be the most interested in the institution. How the new church will support Augsburg financially depends on several things: (1) What will be the emphasis on education in the merged church? At present the LFC’a support oiflugsttltrg:rm‘miu pares very favorably with the sup-H port provided by the v a r i o u s churches in the merger to their colleges. (2) How important a role will Augsburg play in the educational program of the new church? Because of its location, it may perhaps be assumed that it will play'a very important part in the educational p r o g r a m and therefore deserve strong support. [3) How strong a program of stewardship will be developed in the new church? {4) How good ~~and how favorably known—will Augsburg be? As an institution of high quality Augsburg can expect that the church will want to main- tain or improve its standard of performance. Whether merger takes place or not, Augsburg will continue to be owned and operated by the Augs- burg Corporation. This kind of ownership will not be limited to Augsburg, but will also be con- tinued, for instance, in the case of Mortensen Hall Top Students Receive Scholarships, Awards Lutheran Brotherhood scholarships were awarded Jar‘qolyn Hanson.

Batalden has been named Director of Public Relations by the Board of Trustees. As an- nounced in the October Bulletin, Mr. Batalden joined the Augsburg stall last fall on a part time basis to manage the Band and Choir Tours for the 1957-58 school year. A graduate of ‘35. he has wide experience and acquaintance in the city of Minneapolis, having served as manager of Messenger Press for 15 years, as President of the Luth- eran Board of Missions, and a member of the Home Missions Board. Mr. Batalden assumed his duties in this larger field of promotional activity at Augsburg on March 1. the basis of scholastic achieve» ment, vocational objective. need for financial aid, and type of educational program. The Annual Alumni Lunch- eon for this year’s grads will beheld May 24 and at this time the scholarship will be an. nounced and presented to the person chosen. Rooters Back Scrappy Team The Augsburg basketball squad made good use of the freshmen players this year. Dale Rollers. 6’ freshman from Minneapolis. led the ‘Auggie' scoring with an average of 17.5 points per game in confer- and tune lay. Other high scorers were Senior Dick Green with 13.4 points filehard Robinson with 13.1 points per game. The scoring average of Green and Robinson is only a slight indica- tion of the kind of ball that these two guards play. Both men work with exceptional speed and ingenuity that never ceases to amaze the spectators from the beginning of the game until the last second has ticked off. Captain Dick Green. the only senior on the team, has not only played one of the most outstanding seasons that anyone has seen, but has managed and directed the team with great skill. His work in both the ofiensive and defensive position will be a great loss to next year's team. In the last home game Dick received a three-minute standing applause. while the game came to a complete standstill. The ‘Auggies‘ did not reach the top in the conference but the) very successfully gave Duluth. the number one team. a good scare when the Auggies were in the lead with only three minutes left in the game, The biggest single handicap under which Ernie Anderson had to work this year was lack of height. Even with this drawback man) games showed the short but fast ‘Auggies' outrebounding a much taller team. This year, as in the past, the Augsburg basketball team was suc- cessful in posing a very formidable opponent whom more than one team found it impossible to beat.

Dr. Mortensen spent the next four years in China, studying a year at the Peking language school. and then serving as a mis- sionary of the Lot he r a n Free Church in the province of Human. He returned to America in 1921 because of illness in the family and served parishes in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, and Battle Lake, Min- nesota. until he was able to return to China in 1930. Between the service in the two parishes he spent two years in graduate stud- ies at Hartford. writing a thesis in the field of Chinese religion and receiving a PhD. degree in 1927. The next twelve years were spent in central China. serving as mis- sionary of the Lutheran Free Church. as general secretary of the Lutheran Board of Publication. and manager of the Lutheran Book Concern in Hankow, holding also the position of acting director for the Bible House of the British and Foreign Bible Society. After the outbreak of World War II he served as Honorary General Secretary of the International Red Cross from 1939-41. doing exteri- sive rrlief work in Hankow among THE AUGSBURG BULIEI'IN troror Circles Globe to Spread Christian Truth the 100,000 refugees. Later he was interned by the Japanese until he was repatriated on the S. S. Grips- holm. In 1943 Dr. Mortensen accept- ed a full time appointment with the American Bible Society in China. Because of the war he tra- veled “the long way round.” Fly- ing to Buenos Aires, he did depu- tation work in Argentina while waiting for passage to South Afri- ca. He crossed the South Atlantic in an auxiliary sailing vessel, ar- riving at Cape Town. After a stay in South Africa he secured pas- sage to Calcutta, from which place he flew to Chungking, China, where he served the American, the British, and the Scottish Bible So- cieties. This branch was merged with the Shanghai agency of which he now became the director. He was in Shanghai when the Com- munists took over and worked two years under their regime. While here he served the Shanghai Com- munity Church for a time. In time the agency was taken over by an all-Chinese staff. but the Morten- sens had to wait another two years before being permitted to leave. The agency, with 12 subs agencies. still operates under the Communist regime. From 1954 to 1958 Dr. Morten- scn was traveling secretary of the Bible Society Service for Overseas Chinese of whom there are an es- timated 20,000,000. Working in Tokyo, Bangkok, and Honfimng, his travels took him to area, China, Formoal, Okinawa, Viet Nam, Cambodia, Laos, Philippine Islands, Thailand, Malaya, Bor- neo, and Indonesia. The budget, for the work of the Overseas Chi- ncse was furnished by equal con- tributions by the American Bible Society, the British, and the Scot- tish. Dr. Mortensen has always had a great interest for linguistic and literary work as well as the study of the religions and customs of the people among whom he has worked. He is a member of the Lutheran Literature Society for China. a member and Counselor of the Governing Board of the Royal Asiatic Society, North Chi- na Branch, past president of the Hankow Rotary International, and secretary of the Chungking Rotary. Dr. Mortensen returned to New York in 1958 to work in the U.S.A. under the Ways and Means Committee of the American Bible Society. This affords an oppor- tunity for Dr. and Mrs. Mortensen to be reunited with a son and two daughters who are married and living in this country. Dr. Mor- tenan is the brother of Augsburg’s Dean of Women (Gerda Morten- senl and Harold, with Bankers Life Insurance Company in Min-' neapolis. Christian Higher Education Begins with Admissions At this time of year young peo- ple who will graduate from high school this spring are planning for thtir future. Guidance in (homing a \I)calion. a college or univt I} is important. During this period of making decisions. the admissions counselor of a col- lege can be of great assistance. The admissions staff at Augsburg stands ready to assist prospective college students in choosing the college which will meet their edu- cational needs. Donovan Lundeen is director of admissions and Mark Johnson serves on the staff as an admissions counselor. Both of these‘ young men are Augsburg College graduates. There are several ways in which information] is disseminated to stu- dents. Many inquiries from high school students are processed each work. . . . Augsburg is represent- ed at College Career Days held throughout the state. . . . Over 101) high schools are visited each year in Minnesota and also touch- ing into North Dakota. South IJa- kota.

Lent, beginning with the day of repentance, is a time when we focus our attention on the pas- sion story. on the suffering and death of a man whose name was Jesus. The wonder is that this message, bound up as it is, with a particular Man. and a particular place. has to do with men’s lost- ness and their redemption, their guilt and its removal. It is not strange, is it, that men should won- der when it is said that a Man who was born und lived long ago has done and is able to do something about the alienation of men from God? And that this one particular Man is the way by which a twen- tieth-century man comes to experi- ence release from Evil and restora- tion to God, if it is not absolutely idle chatter, is a grave and won- derful affirmation. On a certain day that man died. We are accustomed to call the day Good Friday. In the Norwegian language the word for this day means “long Friday." and in Ger- man it is “Karfruig,” a day of sorrow or care. All of these terms are descriptive of the day from a particular point of view. The day was a day of sorrow, a long day, because it appeared that the Evil One had in fact accomplished his goal in murdering the Prince of Life. But the most significant act was not of the Evil One. And the sinister character of the day when three crosses stood jutting sky- ward on a lonely hill is seen in a new and different light when we realize that day was also Good Friday. God's Friday. In spite of the emphatic and rebellious rejec- tion of the Man by men, the day was a day of victory and the prince of this world was cast down as God spoke his redemptive Word to men. 50 it is we confess, “I be- lieve in Jesus Christ our Lord . . . who was crucified, dead and bur- ied . . ." In Him there is redemp- tion. Dar Mrs. Nydahl: Although I worked a good deal each year and during the summer, I twice had to rely on the Student Loan Fund in order to finance my Cohen educa' tion.

During my college days I pardci' pated in football and basketball which took up the better part of six months with little chance of outside income. Also I was married my sophomore year in college. The” circumstances made the second semester tuition and fees difficult to me: until later in the yzar. The student loan fund provided (ht necessary finances until the money was available.

Show moreWELL DONE! Two of man’s most basic needs are: (1) a great purpose to live for, and (2) a sense of belonging to a group working together to realize this purpose. Augsburg has always had a great and inspiring purpose. What finer, higher aim could there be than the education of youth for service to God and their fellow men? And now, during the past year, through our enlarged Development Program. there has been quickened in many hundreds of hearts a new "sense of belonging," of enthusiastic participation in Augsburg’s cause, expressing itself in a new surge of generous giving. I want to congratulate all who have helped bring about this outstanding achievement: the Devel- opment staff, the Board of Trustees, the officers. leaders and congregations of the Lutheran Free Church. the faculty and the students. and thousands of alumni and other friends. Many of their names are listed in this folder; but all that they have given and done can never be fully recorded. It has become a part of Augsburg’s ongoing life. We are deeply grateful. to both God and men. for the new doors to growth and service opened by the Development Program during its first year of full activity. Let us move forward together with vision and with faith! \ PRESIDENT SUMMARY OF GIFT SUPPORT ’ For the fiscal year July I, 1958 to June 30, I959 Our nation, from its beginning, has been sustained by the Christian principles of its people.

Emphasis on "Christ Calls You” RELIGIOUS EMPHAsrs WEEK, Mar. 2-6, featured the Rev. William Berg, who, according to Dr. Philip A. Quanbeck, was very much ap- preciated by the students. Dr. Quanbeck is College Chap- lain and coordinator of the week’s activities. The purpose of the week. held each semester, is to “bring about among the stu- dents a realiza- tion of the neces- sity of a vital commitment to Jesus Christ. and an awareness that this relationship transforms every other relationship to persons or things in the world.” Pastor Berg is director of Evan- gelism for the Board of Missions of the Augustana L n t h e r a n Church. Following the theme “Christ Calls You." his live Chapel topics were: "1/ You Hear His Voice.” “Call [or Non-Con/ormius," “Call to Costly Discipleship." “Called to be the Church,” and “Call [or Workers and Witnesses." Throughout the week, during which Chapel is then extended to 45 minutes. students and faculty participated in Chapel prayer fel- lowship s e r v i c e 5, discussion groups. brief afternoon prayer services and evening devotions. Faculty members participating and their topics were: Dr. Arthur Nash. “Christianity vs. Science;“ Dr. Theodore Hanwick, “Sputnik turd Christianity;" Dr. Joel Tor- stenson. “The Christian Respon- sibility Io Sociely;” Leland B. Sateren. “Music and Hymns of the Church;" Miss Anne Pederson. “Religious Search in Poetry;” Dr. Gerald Thorson. “The NoveI and Christianilyf’ Dr. Carl Chrislnck. "The Christian and Politics:" Dr. Mario Colacci. “Mixed Mama gen" and Harry Fullilove. a semi- nary student. led the discussion. “How Can I Know The Will 0/ Cod?” Honor Society brings recognition to 44 students Tram Socrerv, the Augsburg honor society, gives recognition to those students who have proved their academic excellence and to provide further incentive for schoIA arship on the part of students. Membership in the society is restricted to those juniors and se- niors who have a 2.5 accumula- tive honor point ratio. In other words, to be eligible for member- ship, a student must have at least an equal number of A’s and B's. Pledge memberships are grant- ed to freshmen and sophomores who have at least a 2.25 honor point ratio. In a s ial mornin convoca- tion on mil 6. four agoniors and six juniors were recognized for having met the requirements for membership; ten sophomores and 24 freshmen were recognized for having met pledge membership re- quirements.

Their running mates for vice p r es i d e n t were (respectively) Clayton Paulson from Clitherall. Minn.. and Al Svanoe from Edina, Minn. All four candidates are juniors. They built the major planks of their campaign platforms in athle- tics. social activities and educa- tional policies. Election results named Bruce and Clayton as new president and vice president. They succeed Paul Almquist, president. from Spicer. Minn. and Bruce Amundson was the former vice president. The new officers took over their offl- cial responsibilities in April. The election also included new class oliicers. two students from each class as representatives to the student council. 3 seminary repre- sentative and four st u d e n t 5 charged with representing the on- campus and ofi-campus student in- terests.

TELEPHONE Alumni pledge nearly $50,000; surpass highest expectations FINAL RESULTS are still being tabu- lated. but a summary report just released by Norman Nielsen. vice president for development. and A. B. Balalden. director of alumni relations. shows alumni “pledged or already mailed in cash gifts totalling between 545.000 and 550.000 during the 2-week tele- phone operation." According to Mr. Balalden. ap- proximately 2300 alumni from coastvto-coast were reached by phone between April 27 and May 8. This included alumni who at- tended Augsburg less than four years. Approximately 56.5 percent. or more than 1300 of those contacted. made pledges. Of those contacted. approxi- mately 500 pledged 841.000. The remaining 800 indicated "they would send in something during 1959 but had not yet decided the amount." An additional 60 alumni mailed their cash gifts and pledges in before the telephone operation got underway.
