Show moreFaculty development funded by Bush grant Augsburg College has received a three-year faculty development grant from the Bush Foundation providing $60,000 per year for special workshops. course development, faculty internships in industry or government with an overall emphasis on the improvement of teaching and advising. The grant is a result of a planning project, also funded by the Bush Foundation. in which Augsburg College completed a three-year plan for faculty development. The project formally began July 1 with preparation for the fall when a variety of programs will be available. Norma Noonan, professor of political science, has been named director of the program. She was the principal author of the plan developed during the past year. “Summer is a time for planning and organization preparatory to launching the program in the fall," said Noonan. The Bush Foundation has a strong interest in faculty development and has sponsored this program for faculty at colleges throughout the upper midwest who want to improve the quality of teaching programs and provide faculty with opportunities for professional development in work as teachers and scholars. An interim Committee on Faculty Development has been appointed to oversee the program including Noonan and representatives from academic divisions at the college: Marie McNeff. associate professor in education; Earl Alton, professor of science/chemistry; Grace Dyrud, professor of psychology; Mark Fuehrer. associate professor of philosophy; Pat Parker. associate dean; Richard Green, vice president for academic affairs and dean of the college; and Robert Clyde. internal evaluator. Norma (‘. Noonan Augsburg College Volume 45. Number 1 Julv/August 1981 Minneapolis. MN 55454 College, ACPAF to host Buckley October 2 in coniunction with Homecoming '81 William F. Buckley Jr. — author, editor, lecturer. — is coming to Augsburg College Friday, October 2 in conjunction with Homecoming ‘81. There also is the possibility that Buckley‘s weekly television show, “Firing Line." will be taped on campus. The series of one-day Buckley events is sponsored by ACPAF (Augsburg College Public Affairs Forum). ACPAF, organized in November 1980, is a group of Augsburg alumni who share an interest in sponsoring events on public affairs issues. This year ACPAF coordinated a Law Day Luncheon with Warren Spannaus; a lecture on church state relations by Professor Frank Sorauf ; an autograph party for Professor Carl Chrislock; and a student essay contest. Buckley will speak at a 7:30 pm. dinner at the Calhoun Beach Club. This ACPAF Dinner is preceded by a 6 p.m. reception at the Beach Club and a 6:30 pm. private reception. Entertainment will include Barb Brooks, a 1977 graduate of Augsburg and pianist with the Minnesota Dance theatre, and a String Quartet from Augsburg College. Firing Line is tentatively set to be taped on campus Friday afternoon followed by the possibility of a presentation for Augsburg students in a press conference format. Buckley began hosting the weekly show “Firing Line” in 1966. Guests have ranged from such persons as Muhammed Ali. Truman Capote and Jimmy Carter to Otto Preminger, Ronald Reagan and George Wallace. By 1970 “Firing Line" had Nursing program achieves accreditation By Anne (i. Billingstad Now Staffwritcr The Florence Nightingales of our society are changing. The white cap has disappeared. and the subservient role of nurses is on its way out. Instead, the independence of thought and action which characterized the merits of the unorthodox 19th century English nurse are re-entering the profession. Baccalaureate programs in nursing are revolutionizing the role of nurses in society, and Augsburg is participating in the new development. “The professional nurse functions in a collegial relationship with the doctor rather than as a junior member or handmaid," said Bev Nilsson. associate professor and department chairperson of nursing. Augsburg‘s nursing program. exclusively for registered nurses, is one of two in the state, now both accredited. The other program is at Moorhead State University. “It is designed to provide upper division courses in nursing to registered nurses after they have completed a two or three year program.” said Nilsson. Helen Woelfel. assistant professor of nursing. added that it is a new trend in nursing to only accept registered nurses. Except for Moorhead. all other baccalaureate nursing programs in Minnesota are geared toward accepting students from the beginning of their nursing education, although they also accept registered nurses. Now in its fifth year, the Augsburg nursing program has been accredited. Accreditation was first sought in 1978. but was denied. “Accreditation means validation by our peers." said Nilsson. "It means that we have met at least the minimum requirements for a quality program for nursing education as established by the profession." The nursing department has put forward a very concerted effort in order to get accredited. The report describing the program and its administration. faculty. students. curriculum and facilities. required much hard work, according to Nilsson. To verify and clarify the report sent in, the League of Nursing selected two people for an on-site evaluation. They spent four days on campus in February talking to administrators, students and nursing faculty. They also talked to nursing representatives from hospitals in the area that provide clinical experience, visited the clinical agencies and sat in on classes, “Accreditation is a standard people look at when selecting a program." said Nilsson. “()ne benefit may therefore be attracting the interest of more students." Nilsson emphasized that the approach to nursing as a profession breaks with tradition, Many registered nursing students have much experience and good educational background. but their learning experience has been in hospitals. "These are ‘acutc settings based on the medical model where the doctor is the head. and the goal is to attend to sick people." said Nilsson. "The emphasm of our program is wellness. to help people to stay well “ According to the nursing model. the nurse will provide professional care and practice autonomously. “Nursing and medicine are different disciplines." said Nilsson “We like to consider ourselves as part of the health care team. and as a full member.“ (Sec Nursing. page :1! grown from 26 broadcast outlets to 120 outlcts across the country.

Anderson A man of wide-gauged energies By Jim Klobuchar Mtnnea polls Star Columnist Consider two tantalizing questions placed before the board members of a small but substantial liberal arts in- stitution. Their task: to select a new college president. Question I. Can the college find happiness and fulfillment under a president who is one of the world's dis- tinguished Reformation scholars. an author. ecumenical expert. Phi Beta Kappa graduate. preacher. seminary professor. college dean and adminis- trator. and all-purpose academic superstar? Question 2. is it possible. on the other hand. for the college to find just as much happiness and fulfillment under a president who skinned hogs at Oscar Mayer's meatcutting plant in Madison. Wis.. hustled Jeeps to Wisconsin farmers. plucked tobacco leaves. won the state high school hurdles championship. and carried a rifle for two years as a Marine Corps infantry officer? Workaholic The answer to both questions is yes. since both "resumes" flow' from the wide-gauged energies of one man —Dr. Charles Samuel Anderson. Last July. Anderson. 50. became the seventh president of Augsburg College in Minneapolis. The choice could not have surprised the US. Marine Corps. Luther Theological Seminary in St. Paul. Minn. or the broad fraternity of Anderson's friends and admirers in academia. The Marines list him as first in the 1952 off icers' training class of 500. The seminary records him as first in its 1957 graduating class. After wading through the full catalog of Anderson's church and academic posts. his scholarship and other achievements. a Minneapolis newspaperman said to a friend: “People in Minnesota forever are asking: Whatever happened to Jack Armstrong. the onetime all-American boy of radio? Well. he changed his name and now is running Augsburg College.“ The new president does not argue with the suspicion that he is a workaholic. But if the label implies a man in grinding. joyless pursuit of perfection. Anderson does not quality. “Some of the students. especially in my early phase of teaching. had the impression I was cool personally. . . " But. he says, "l've worked on that. And i think it's fair to say my temperature has climbed con- siderably." To the stranger encountering Anderson for the first time. his humanity and core idealism seem natural. He talks easily and unpretentiously. Tall. balding. and athletic. he says his daily handball game at Augsburg's Melby Hall is as important to him as staff briefings. During free time. he is likely to be splitting wood at his cabin near Cornucopia. Wis.. or teaming with his wife. Catherine. on some renovation scheme in their 67-year-old home in St. Paul. i asked Anderson what's different about students in college today. parti- cularly at a Lutheran college like Augsburg: “l’m sure today‘s students think more about the job market than students did 10 years ago." he says. "So courses like business administra- tion and economics, which might seem to promise direct access to jobs. are more popular than ever. “i think the biggest difference. though. is in attitude. A few years ago. reflecting the adult world around them. students were preoccupied with themselves. . Young people said the old values were so bad that history should start over with their genera- tion. “I see idealism in youth today." Anderson continues. “in a far less strident form than it took back in the ‘803. But i think much of it is waiting to be motivated. Augsburg historically has attracted service- oriented young people and still is It's a place where we see ourselves as individuals. in Christ. with an enor- mous amount of work to be done in the world around us." Future of church colleges The same inflationary pressures that seem to have induced a new seriousness in the classrooms at Augsburg have created some anxieties about the future of the small church college in the United States. Says Anderson: “it's nothing to panic about. but some of the public schools around us have better defenses against those pressures. We have to work it out. because it would be a tragedy for this country to lose the priceless diversity of today's higher education. There have to be the Augsburgs."

Il’hotos h) ('arl Minor) There are fewer minority students at the colleges of The American Lutheran Church (ALC) now than there were five years ago but the time is ripe for a resurgence of interest in enrollment of blacks. native Americans. Hispanics, and Asian Americans at the 12 ALC schools. This prediction was made at a conference of 50 minority students and staff from the ALC colleges held at Augsburg College in December. in a "better to light a candle than curse the da rkness" keynote address to the conference. Dr. Richard Green, vice president of academic affairs and dean of Augsburg College pointed to the progress that had been made in bringing minority students to ADC campuses. Since 1979 the ALC has awarded 51.146000 in minority scholarships. 0f the approximately 1.000 students who received this assistance for one to four years, more than 400 have graduated. Three major concerns addressed at the conference were life on the campus. the problems of recruitment and retention of minority students, and the integration of minority students into the academic programs of the colleges. Bonnie Wallace, coordinator of the American lndian Program at Augsburg, was one of the conference participants. She also expressed concerns over recruitment costs; whether or not the curriculum meets the needs of minority students; and acceptance within the college both academically and socially. Wallace's office at Augsburg works with American lndian students at Augsburg including recruitment and admissions functions. While finances will continue to be a problem, it is not the only one—perhaps not even the major one—admissions counselors and minority program advisers said. Of at least equal importance. they insisted, is the necessity of a clear understanding on the part of the church and the colleges as to why they should have minority students and how to retain them once the students come to college. This takes commitment, they pointed out. often against financial and cultural obstacles that could easily dissuade the colleges from the program. For instance, Phyllis Wyatt, coordinator of minority student affairs at St, Olaf College in Northfield, explained that it costs far more to recruit a minority student than a white student, largely because it takes more travel and time to find enough minority students who qualify. January/February 1981 Nlioorit) students and staff from "I!" \l.(' colleges attended a conference in December at \ugshurg (‘ollegc to dist'uss enrollment. ca nipus life and academic programs for minority students. Dr. Jesus Gonzales. of California Lutheran (‘ollege in Thousand Oaks, warned against the danger of channeling all scholarship aid to the middle class minorities. those who might get scholarships through the same channels that white students get them. “We ought to be out there helping the most disadvantaged to get into our schools. and once they are there provide them with enough support that they will graduate," he said. The conference was reminded that the real purpose of having minority students at ALC colleges is to serve the students themselves and not just to make the colleges feel good. Nevertheless, the students and staff said that the presence of minority students on the campus is a vital part of the educational process of the whole student body. “It's not enough to have minority students learn about the dominant American culture or even to take courses in their own cultural backgrounds.“ “It should be a part of the education of whites that they live with and learn from the minority students."

Show moreFrom horse-drawn carts to computers, Andersons span three generations By Anne (E. ltllllngstnd Stuffwrlter Above Beatrice Anderson's desk on the second ' floor of Memorial Hall hangs a picture of her nine grandchildren. all in Augsburg sweatshirts. "i gave them all sweatshirts for Christmas a couple of years ago." Anderson said. The oldest is now a junior in high school. Will he follow the family tradition and become a student or employee at Augsburg College? The family tradition started with Anderson‘s father. Andreas Helland. who was a theology professor. chairman of the Scandinavian Department and dean of the Seminary in the early years of Augsburg's history. He was also the historian of Augsburg's first 50 years. Augsburg Seminar Gjennem Femti Aar is written in Norwegian. “My father offered us kids what seemed to be a lot of money at the time if we would read his book.“ said Anderson. “but [don‘t think any of us ever earned it." Anderson was born and raised on the campus . when it was just —— “The Block." The Helland ‘ family lived in Gamle Hovedbygning or Old Old Main. which stood on the lot Science Hall now occupies. The Hellands lived on campus until Augsburg became co—ed and the professors“ residences were needed for dormitories. “We lived in both Old Old Main and West Hall." said Anderson, "and i remember using the old pump in the courtyard of Old Old Main. " There were a few cars. but the students‘ luggage as well as the milk were delivered in horse-drawn carts. Sometimes the horses would get startled by cars and "milk bottles were smashed on the corner by Murphy Square and the milk spilled all over the sidewalk." The professors' children played on "The Block" and the students seemed to enjoy having them around. "They used to swing the jump rope for us." says Anderson. and one time when a blizzard came a meeting at Trinity Church. the students carried uiechfldren home. On the sandy lot which is now The Quad. the students used to play games. such as croquet. which they called “preacher‘s pool " Big changes occurred when Augsburg became eo-ed. Girls took over the smaller houses on campus. while the boys stayed in North Hall or “The Wooden Men‘s Dorm." "And the boys had to behave mannerly in the dining hall." said Anderson. She was in eighth grade at the time. The big social event of the year was the professors' reception for the students. Usually in the winter. this was held in Main (Old Main l. on the second floor. Anderson remembers. and the children were invited. The band played. and often (Sec pa go 5. Bee Anderson t AUVLL‘JLU t. .L‘..,.‘.. Lawn .Itza Augsburg College llbl'ct ‘ Peri "it"! it Dept.

Old Main was erected in 1900. dedicated in 1902 and rededicated in 1980 following renovation that allowed the structure's history to come alive. As construction workers peeled away marks of time and change. the original beauty and meaning of Old Main surfaced. And. once again, the building became a symbol of progress and a source of pride for Augsburg College. Erected in 1900 at a cost ofabout 350.000. "New Main" was an exciting replacement for the wooden buildings in which Auggies had worshipped and studied. The size and elevation of the budding made Augsburg a prominent sight in the area. "1 It) presents a rather imposing view when seen from the street below.” said Professor A. Urseth in his dedication speech. “The architecture is uniformly classic." said Urseth. "leaving on the mind tan) impression of simplictly and harmony." Such timeless beauty has allowed Old Main to remain a source of pride for nearly BOyears. The size and beauty of the building were not all that pleased Auggies of 1902. “The true character of the building must bejudged by its interior plan and construction." according to Urseth. Old Main provided sufficient space for activities of the 200 students enrolled in the seminary, college and academy. The gymnasium. located in the basement. was. according to Urseth. the finest in the area. Classrooms were large and pleasant. The entire building was hailed by Urseth as having “no low ceilings and no dark halls." H,,.~—w As the daughter of an Augsburg professor. Ht’t‘ Anderson ll\ ed in "old" Old Main.

Old Main also housed the student-run library. the bookstore and the Augsburg Museum A but the real center of life for the community was the chapel located on the first floor. Students arrived each day for a 7:45 am. chapel service. Roll was called and the professors sat on the platform and looked out on the student body. it has been said that the chapel and its daily service were the "heart of the institution." Although chapel hour was changed to 10 am. around 1920. the change failed to provide Augsburg students with a few extra hours of sleep. Students attended three classes prior to the chapel service. Nineteentwenty brought with it a much greater change than chapel time — Augsburg became coed with five women enrolling. One Echo article stated. “Some people thought the appearance of coeds in the halls of Augsburg would arouse some stir. but other than the first surprise. . . we are now accustomed to it as though we had always had coeducation.“ Only one change was made in Old Main to accommodate Augsburg‘s first women. The faculty washroom on the first floor was given to women and remained the only women's lavatory until 1950. So central was Old Main to the academic and spiritual lives of all members of the Augsburg community that even the college‘s losses were acknowledged there. Three presidents of the collegt died in office between 1907 and 1937: George Sverdi'up in 1907'. Sven Oftednl in 1911; and George Sverdrup in 1937. Their bodies laid in state in the first floor hallway with students standing guard. in the years al'ter1920, the students and atmosphere of Augsburg changed from a highly spiritual emphasis to a more secular one.

Career Resource Network The newly graduated Auggie faces many challenges and decisions in the transition from Augsburg to the working world. Finding the right job is a tough job in itself. Work values must be examined. skills defined. pertinent career information gathered and the liberal arts experience translated into a marketable commodity. The job search can be especially frustrating the first time around when the candidate has no concrete "experience" to back up the skills acquired by the years of study at Augsburg. The transitional period can be discouraging but it doesn't have to be frightening. With support and encouragement. searching for a job can be a rewarding and exciting experience. The Augsburg Alumni can help to make that search a positive experience. The Career Planning and Placement Office has a mentor program called CAREER RESOURCE NETWORK. which matches each senior with an alumnus who shares the same career interests. The alum would act as an adviser in the graduate's job search. He/She would be a resource for career-related information. act as a sounding board in the student's career decisions and perhaps suggest additional source people the student could contact. Most importantly. the alumnus would be there as a friend for the senior. Augsburg Alumni hold important and challenging positions and are successful contributors to the working community. They are respected examples of the worth and versatility of a liberal arts education. We urge you to share your pride in your work and in Augsburg with a graduating senior.

Fritz Scholder. sponsored by the Plains Art Museum in Moorhead. is one of the most innovative. contemporary artists in the United States. He specializes in oil paintings and lithographs and is most widely known for his lndian series. Although Scholder is interested in modern American lndians. and is one-quarter Luiseno. he rejects the label “lndian Artist." He grew up in a family that did not Old Main renewed (Continued from page I i became less prominent. By 1940. there were about 400 students. and females comprised about half of the enrollment. Student enrollment continued to climb so that in the late 19705 with about 1.600 students the college was faced with problems of inadequate space and limited capital. Augsburg administrators decided to meet not only the space need but also to preserve Old Main. “Old Main is the only building on campus in which all living alumni have shared common experiences." said Burt Fosse. who recently retired from Augsburg as director of facility development. This sentimental value was an important element in the decision to remodel. rehabilitate and restore Old Main. The cost of the project was $1.5 million or about $15 per square foot. "The current figure for construction of academic and collegiate buildings is about $65 per square foot. Renovation was less costly in this situation and at the same time it preserved the heritage and tradition of the building," explained Fosse. Remodeling changed the functional use of space: the old gym floor on the basement level is used for art facilities with a small Old Main Gallery; classroom space for sculpture and ceramics classes: print and design studios; the old boiler room converted to darkroom and photography class space; and the addition of a five- office suite for the art faculty. First and second floor changes include the enlargement of rooms and hallways. language labs and the removal of offices. Contemporary energy and safety standards were met including exterior wall and ceiling insulation. thermopane windows. a sprinkler system. new electrical and mechanical systems. forced air ventilation and new lighting. “With the exception of the structure and exterior brick it is a thoroughly contemporary building." said Fosse. He added that rooms have good volume with nine to eleven foot ceilings and adequate window areas to provide natural light. Accessibility for the handicapped was another important element of the Old Main project. A tunnel was built for access from Twenty-First Avenue to Science Hall. Old Main and the College Center. Restroom facilities were upgraded and an elevator installed. Restoration included the cleaning and re- glazing of the exterior brick. The decorative art work on the cornices and roof were repaired. walls replastered. wooden doors. frames and staircases refinished. The vestibules and hallways were restored to the original look and interior designers and color consultants were employed to make classrooms more pleasant. Flagstone floors were ground and sealed and skylights repaired. As the spirit of Augsburg has changed. so has the look of the campus. For years. Old Main has remained the hub of activity. Today. through efforts of the support of alumni and friends of the college, Old Main has become the symbol of Augsburg College’s heritage and history.

Scholder's other "series" are of New Mexico. women. flowers. butterflies. and dogs. His style is a combination of expressionism. surrealism. and pop art with an emphasis on hold. startling colors. He never arrives at an idea through sketches or preliminary drawings but rather by just painting intuitively. Scholder feels that an artist should be able to approach any subject and make a new statement about it. As in his lndian series. he rcbcls against stereotypes in all his works. '1 Fritz Scholder “To challenge the viewer is the role of the artist. Essentially. an artist is successful when his work puts an indelible mark on the viewer's mind or eyes - when you look at something which in some way or other changes your life. or at least your visual experience." said Scholder. Phil Thompson. chairman of the Augsburg Art Department. said. "The Fritz Scholder exhibit will be very special for Augsburg both in size and thematic content . . . when questioned. (Scholderi usually says he is a colorist. The strength of color and design is directly felt in his work and his technique reflects a sense of urgency associated with the abstract expressionists." Fritz William Scholder V was born in 1937 in Breckenridge. MN. located on the North Dakota border. His earliest artistic event was in fourth grade when he won a poster contest. Scholder says that because of that event he has “always identified as an artist." in high school. he worked with South Dakota artist Oscar Howe. who had just returned from Paris where he was influenced by cubism. Scholder went on to study at Wisconsin State College for two years and later at Sacramento City College where he studied painting and art history with Wayne Thiebaud. By the time he graduated from Sacramento City College he had his first one- man show. Scholder then worked with a Rockefeller project. which he was eligible for because he was part lndian. “Well, I had never thought about being Indian and this was for Indian artists. it essentially was a summer. all espenses paid and all materials and studio space for this particular project. Sol went there and that was how I discovered the Southwest. " The project was designed to encourage young lndian artists to explore the lndian culture with a contemporary approach. The Institute of American lndian Arts was founded in Santa Fe. New Mexico as a result of the success of the project. Augsburg College Now After receiving a Master of Fine Arts Degree from Arizona Sta to University. Scholder accepted a teaching position at the institute. Scholder became a full-time artist after five years. The Scholder exhibit will be at Talley Gallery. Hemidji State University from April 19 to May 9. 1981.

Anderson generations tt'ontinued from page 11 the annual picture of the students was taken at this time with the photographer using ‘gunpowder flash.‘ There was also an annual athletic event. which also featured a couple of clowns as a humorous addition to the athletes. of which many were excellent. according to Anderson. There was always an interest for music. Anderson recalls. Band was big. and there were also the Girls' Society and quartets. The Men‘s Glee Club existed before Augsburg became co—ed. and continued until the choir was formed. Every year the Minneapolis Symphony arranged a Children's Symphony Concert and chartered streetcars to pick up the children at their schools Tickets were 15¢. and although teaching was not a lucrative profession. the Helland children always went. They also used to walk to the Art Institute. “My father used a walking stick." said Anderson, “and when we kids got tired, he would hold it out and we would hang on to it." Andreas Helland retired in 1940. 70 years old. Bee Anderson is retiring from her job at Augsburg at the same age. A data processing clerk. Anderson has been working with computer equipment which the founders of Augsburg could not even dream of. Computer terminals were installed at Augsburg several years ago. according to Anderson. to store information on graduates and former students. parents. businesses and some churches with a total of 26.000 entries. Bee Anderson Andreas Helland Anderson has followed the development of Augsburg as the daughter of a professor. as a student. wife of a teacher and a parent of three Augsburg students. Her husband. Norman Anderson. taught at Augsburg from 1939 to 1951. “During the war. enrollment was down and teachers carried heavy loads." she said. Memorial Hall was new then. and they were proud of it. Norman Anderson also helped raise funds for the library and science buildings. Two of Anderson's brothers. Melvin and Bernhard. taught at Augsburg. Another brother. Maurice. has followed in his father‘s footsteps as a historian. And a son-in-law. Bruce Gildseth. was once employed as staff at Augsburg. As most of the Helland children did. Anderson‘s three children have all been students at Augsburg. “They also married Augsburg alums." said Anderson. “but now we are talking too much about us." However. there is no doubt that the Helland and Anderson families have strong ties with Augsburg. “There have been many changes." said Anderson. “and the improvement in the campus appearance is enormous." Whether her grandchildren will follow the family tradition and tie their own ties with Augsburg. she cannot say. “but I can always encourage them." she says optimistically. Campus News — 5 Show less

Chrislock Professor of History at Augsburg Editor‘s Note: This is a slightly edited version of Dr. Chrislock‘s chapel talk delivered November 10. 1980. Founder‘s Day for Augsburg College. The presentation was titled. “A Tribute to George Sverdrup" I 1879-19371. Dr. Chrislock is a 1937 graduate of Augsburg college with a bachelor‘s degree in history and social science. He also holds a master's degree and a PhD. in history and political science from the University of Minnesota. Chrislock returned to Augsburg in 1952 and has special interest in Upper Midwest political and ethnic history. He is known primarily in the Augsburg community for the book. “From Fjord to Freeway: 100 years - Augsburg College." published in 1969. November 11. 1980 marked the forty-third anniversary of the death of George Sverdrup. fourth president of Augsburg College and Seminary. The position of this “second” Sverdrup within the Augsburg pantheon is a trifle ambiguous. For one thing. his reputation is overshadowed by that of his illustrious father. Georg Sverdrup, For another. the achievements of his long administration (1911»1937) do not appear impressive when viewed superficially. Not a single new building was added to the campus from 1902 to 1938; and in 1937 the college had not yet won full accreditation, a failure setting it apart from the other Midwest Lutheran colleges. These outward signs are not, of course; the whole story, as we shall briefly note later. At the same time it may be conceded that George Sverdrup was not in every respect cast for the role of an aggressive college president endowed with great abilities as a super fundraiser, and in today’s language, “image manipulator.“ On the other hand, he was a great teacher who. to quote Bernard Christensen. “even as an administrator. . . was constantly engaged in his central task of teaching. " 1 would guess that most members of that now diminishing group who enjoyed the privilege of coming directly under George Sverdrup‘s influence would second this evaluation. Just what made him a great teacher is more difficult to analyze in the context of a brief discourse. However. some of us are grateful for his commitment to three values of enduring worth. Profound Respect for Language The first was a profound respect for language. a point underscored in the tributes of several friends composed after his death. Nils N. Ronning characterized him as “an intellectually honest man. Many other men Iadded Ronning) would have tried to win the confidence and good will of the people by using the old slogans. Not he. He did his own thinking and gave expression in his own way to his thought. . Others found this “way” extraordinarily effective. even though not calculated to win instant popularity. According to Sverre Norborg, Sverdrup possed a unique ability to link “the thought and the word.“ (Han eiet en sjelden evne til a gifte tanken med ordet) In Norborg‘s perception. George Sverdrup was “an unrecognized Socrates among us" who by his example “served the World“ both in its divine and human contexts—~the Word as the authentic medium of communication between God and the person and between person and person. Untrammeled Intellectual Freedom The second value cherished and effectively articulated by George Sverdrup was untrammeled intellectual freedom. At a faculty meeting when the obligation of Augsburg teachers to hold themselves within the Lutheran confessions came under discussion—a rather sensitive issue, obviously—he insisted that these confessions were binding “only as they vindicate themselves to our minds and hearts as truth.“ In 1927 he affiliated with a group of academic people organized under the leadership of the president of the University of Minnesota to oppose the passage of an anti-evolution bill by the Minnesota Legislature. l—Campus News Professor George Sverdrup Commitment to Christian Faith The firm commitment to intellectual freedom did not complicate Sverdrup‘s equally firm commitment to a third value: the Christian faith. So far as the confessions were concerned. he felt that the “vision of truth“ provided by them and the scriptures were liberating rather than confining. Moreover. he was able to live with ambiguity. On one occasion he remarked: “I find myself able to get along with fewer certainties as the years go by. As long as l have the one great certainty of faith in God through Jesus Christ. I can let other things more and more rest with Him.“ Bernard Christensen insists that this oft-quoted statement should not be equated with indifference to “questions of theological import." or with a lack of concern for the risks involved. Sverdrup was, writes Christensen. on a perpetual quest for truth in all its aspects. And he was willing to learn from all. from his theological opponents as well as from those who were in essential agreement with him. from scientists as well as from religionists. from modern novelists as well as from the ancient prophets and secrs. He was in the true sense “a liberal." He did not believe in compelling anyone to believe anything. even by moral force. He would rather see men wander into the far countries of unbelief and for a time waste their substance in riotous thinking than he would force them to remain at home in obedient orthodoxy. He believed in taking risks—because he believed in a God who took the supreme “risk” of creating a world of freedom.“ Legacy of Leadership On that November day forty-three years ago. news of George Sverdrup‘s passing evoked sorrow. shock and anxiety throughout the Augsburg community. Perhaps anxiety was a dominant emotion. For more than sixty years, the school had been under Sverdrup leadership. a leadership that had surmounted several major crises but had not moved the school into the front ranks of the private higher education sector. The question in many minds was, could Augsburg survive under non- Sverdrup leadership? With the benefit of hindsight, we now know that the answer was yes. What we may not sense is the contribution George Sverdrup’s leadership made to the advances since 1937. While the visible signs of his achievements as president may not seem impressive, a definitive evaluation of his presidency should properly begin with an understanding of the problems he faced at the outset of his tenure. One of the most serious was what we today would call an “identity crisis": was Augsburg College really a liberal—arts institution, or essentially the middle level of a three-tiered divinity school? Opinions with respect to this question were sharply divided within a small. non- affluent and extraordinarily fractious (but at the same time intensely loyal) constituency. In Augsburg College Now addition. the 1911-1987 period was one of recurrent national crises with somber implications for struggling institutions of learning - World War 1. the farm depression of the 19205. and the Great Depression of the 19305. Within the context of this unpromising setting. President George Sverdrup accomplished a great many things. The identity problem was not fully resolved when he passed from the scene. but Augsburg College had‘become an entity in its own right as a coeducational institution offering a respectable program which by 1937 was on the road to full accreditation. It also is significant that the 1936-1937 school year was marked by a record increase in enrollment. much of it drawn from outside the immediate church constituency. and that the foundations for a building program had been securely laid. Even more important. I believe. was the legacy ’ left by George Sverdrup the teacher. Even in moments of pessimism. lam reassured by the conviction that this legacy remains intact. and that it will continue to have an important role in shaping development of Augsburg College.

Show more‘mv — I981 Commencement recognizes International Year oi Disabled Persons (Ramberg Address. continued from page 6) We have a real capacity in terms of creating opportunities for ourselves. Every single individual in this room is a unique creature. Each of us has patterns of abilities that no one else has. Each of us has limitations that no one else has. We have ambitions. We have a purpose in life that no one else has. Each person has a place in life. I heard a story on the radio the other day about the little kid who comes home from the Little League baseball game. He starts crying and holding his head and his father says. “What happened?" And the little kid says. “I was traded." And the father. in the right spirit, to teach him the right way. says, “Well son, that‘s no problem. All the big time baseball players are traded." The boy says, “But I was traded for a glove." He obviously is not following his true calling in life yet. He will find things to do. He will find his uniqueness. We’re here today celebrating the accomplishments of graduating Auggies. That‘s terribly important. We’re also here to renew our commitment to a cause. I think that‘s a common cause. That common cause is to develop ourselves as individuals and to \U‘ABUIK. (OHIO!

I frequently get comments from people. that I call gloom and doom sayers. to talk about the best of this country being in the past. We have a lot of problems today. But I really don't believe that the best is in the past. It might take a little more effort: it might be a little more difficult: it might take more creativity; but this world has so many opportunities and things to do and things to see. that there is no reason for anyone to sit around and be bored. If we‘re going to take advantage of opportunities. we're going to have to move beyond today and ask ourselves: What do I want to accomplish? What kind of person do I want to be? What kind of relationships do I want with my family. with my friends or with others? How can I find my particular uniqueness? How can I help somebody else find the opportunities to do things for themselves so that I don't have to do things for them? Ask yourself these questions. We also have to do something about the answers. And that is to get involved: Find your niche. you graduating students. Or. if you've been around as long as I have and graduated a long time ago. find a new niche if the old one is worn out. Find the ways gift in kind to the college. that you can use your abilities and always strive for excellence. The other day l was at a pancake breakfast and I saw a plaque on the wall: "If my mind can conceive it. and my heart can believe it. I know I can achieve it.“ I don’t know if conceiving something. and believing can make you always achieve it. but I do know that we have to stop letting our handicaps and our limitations control our lives.

Augsburg College New Fairview skyway to link 3 buildings providing campus with accessibility Fairview Hospital’s gift of a skyway to Augsburg College provides another link in making the campus accessible to handicapped students and more efficient for other members of the Augsburg community — especially those who chili at the thought of facing a Minnesota January. The skyway, pictured below presently links the Fairview Hospital and Fairview Medical Arts Building Once in place at Augsburg the 122-foot skyway will connect Memorial Hall to Music Hall and Music Hall to the Psychology Building with accessibility to three more Augsburg campus buildings. The photo below shows where the skyway will cross between Music Hall and Memorial Hall. “The master plan for the campus looks to the day when all campus buildings will be interconnected for accessibility and convenience. Since the onset of the Making a Way project in 1908, Augsburg has sought to make the campus barrier free. I express the college's sincere appreciation to Fairview for this gift," said Charles S. Anderson, president of the college. The skyway will be removed from the Fairview site to make room for construction which is presently underway and moved to Augsburg this fall. The Fairview skyway pictured above will be moved to the Augsburg campus to link Music Hall to Memorial Hall and Music Hall to the Psychology Building.

Show moreCHMPUS (NEWS New computer minor reflects college's liberal arts tradition (Computer. continued from page :1) “The educational community has the obligation to bridge the gap between the computer sciences and the human sciences. Up to the present time we have thought of computers with the fields of math, science and business. We must be careful not to rely on wnat has been done in the past as a model for what we do in the future or we will miss many meaningful applications of the computer," said McNeff. She added that computers not only improve the teaching of various subjects but computer usage can also change what we teach, where we learn it and how we learn it. Leo Richard Lake, a scientist with Systems and Applied Sciences Corporation in Hampton, VA since March 1979, has been named associate professor of computer science. He will teach computer science, systems and programming courses, Lake joins a core of current faculty at Augsburg who will incorporate several present computer-related course offerings with new courses in computer science. Lake will also serve as a resource consultant to assist faculty in applying the computer to other disciplines. “The potential is there for applications in other fields and departments. The faculty need to be informed about the computer and then they in turn will understand what applications are possible within their departments," said Lake. Lake has a physics background with extensive application of computer technology in the analysis of atmospheric measurements. Lake’s education includes a bachelor’s degree in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a master's degree and Ph.D. in physics with a minor in math from the University of Minnesota. From June 1975 to March 1979, Lake was associated with Old Dominion University first as a research associate and later as a research assistant ' professor. He had a postdoctoral fellowship at Max Planck Institute fuer Kemphysik in Heidelberg, Germany from September 1973 to June 1975. Lake and his wife, Mary Beth, a graduate of Dana College, have three children, Sara, 14, Elizabeth, 7, and Bjorn, 5. The primary computer system is to be used for the minor is a PDP 11/60 minicomputer manufactured by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), Maynard. MA. DEC is the world's largest manufacturer of minicomputers — “the IBM of the educational market. " The PDP 11/60 will allow multiprogramming and multitasking operations with simultaneous and interactive batch use. Current plans are to use both Digital RSX-ltM and Bell Laboratories UNIX operating systems. Advanced students will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with operating systems. The primary programming language will be PASCAL which will be supplemented by COBOL and SNOBOL. PASCAL is considered to be the best language today. It combines features of older languages such as FORTRAN AND COBOL with explicit structures and characteristics that have been shown to aid the development of proper programming practices." said Mark Engebretson, professor of physics. Other campus equipment includes several Apple II microcomputers a Tektronix 4051 graphics microcomputer and KIM-1 laboratory microcomputers which are accessible to students for hands-on experience with computer design and organization. Augsburg also has access to computers through the Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium and the University of Minnesota. 2‘One of the competencies which we expect this mmm to provide to students is the ability to use Computer systems in a wide variety of contexts. Although introductory classes will necessarily emphasize programming skills, advanced classes will emphasize more the design, organization, mpabilitias and limitations of eletronic information sVilems," said Engebretson. July/Anna iaai the nation in the percent of public school students at all levels of training in the use of computers. “Most high school students have computer education made possible not only because of support through the state of Minnesota educational system but also because of business interests in the Win Cities. Having a computer science minor at Augsburg will help us meet the educational needs of students," said McNeff. “A computer science minor is a beginning on the Augsburg campus to realizing a more computer literate society through the graduates of our college." said McNeff. Computer Courses The Computer Science minor consists of five courses including: CS 245 Introduction to Computer Science CS 345 Computer Systems CS 350 Data Structures and File Processing Phys 261 Electronics and one elective from: Math 361 Numerical Analysis Bus Ad 479 Intermediate Quantitative Methods CS 260. 360. or Soc 363 Applied Statistics CS 395, 495 Topics in Computer Science Leo Lake The presence of computer facilities and education on a campus is one of the criteria prospective students look for in selecting a college.
