Show morePacific Lodge Boys’ Home Phillip C. Morgan Across from my desk sits a mother with tearrﬁlled eyes—her boy, age 13, has been expelled from school and is in trouble with the police be- cause of stealing in the neighbor hood. Upon questioning her, I ﬁnd that she is divorced, has been re” married. and that the stepfather has not accepted this boy in the home. She feels that if he were away from the home, he would eventually act cept the new parent and that time will heal everything. Most of our boys have essentially the same pat’ tern: broken homesirejecting par— ents. Lack of love and understand' ing by parents is the primary reason for boys and girls in trouble today. A solid. Christian family, who plan most of their activity around the home and who try to understand the problems of youth today and meet it with love, kindness, and understanding, have the key to suc‘ cess with their children. 10 years of working with delinquent and pre‘ delinquent children have convinced me more than ever of the need for “home solidarity," Christian center» ed, with the church as the "rock." Church centered activity with "dad" and "mom" participating is the an, swer to security for youngsters. With this preface. I will tell you about PaCific Lodge Boys~ Home. Located in the beautiful foothills of the Santa Monica mountains in the west end of the fabulous San Fer' nando Valley in Woodland Hills, California, we occupy 42 rolling acres. At present, we care for 65 boys on a 24‘hour basis, most of whom are wards of the Juvenile Court of Los Angeles County. Placed here because of unfavorable home situations, Paciﬁc Lodge offers a home where love and kindness perr sists. It is a substitute home, but boys are shown that someone cares for them. Our cottages of Spanish architecture offer a “homey” atmOS’ phere. Our staff of 18 all have the same desire—that of helping boys— showing them that “someone” cares for them! Our physical plant consists of 3 cottages. each housing 22 boys. Live ing with them are a housemother and boys‘ counselor who plan their lives. The housemother looks after their material needsﬁclothing, etc, and the boys' counselor after their other interests athletics and play—— “a real dad’s job," I call it; trips to the beach, the mountains, and other things a real dad should do. A small gym, a ﬁne swimimng pool, and huge athletic field round out our physical plant along with a ﬁne recreation hall. Of course, we have a spacious dining room where good food is a “must.” Our small farm produces all our milk with a modern dairy. One of our program features is our “4+1” Club. Case work service is supplied by our trained case worker. Counseling with the boys and their parents most often leads to complete rehabilitar tion. Chapel service every Sunday morning with Sunday School follow- ing is an important part of our life at Paciﬁc Lodge. The church with all of its rami~ ﬁcations should survey the ﬁeld of child welfare and endeavor to help these unfortunate youngsters and to tell parents that one of their chief duties is to spend time with their families to give them the security which they need so desperately. QUANBECK RESIGNS The resignation of L a w r e n c e Quanbeck ‘47, as Director of Ad! missions at Augsburg College, has been announced by President Chris! tensen.

Show moreOPSETH MEMORIAL CONCERT The annual Twin City concert of the Augsburg College Choir sched' uled for Sunday, February 28th at 4:00 PM. at Central Lutheran Church, will be dedicated to the founder and ﬁrst director of that group, Professor Henry P. Opseth. Concert repertoire of the group of 56 choristers directed by Leland B. Sateren will feature some of the favorite choral selections of the late Professor Opseth. Professor Opseth, who served as head of the Department of Music at Augsburg College from 1922 to 1951 founded the Augsburg College Choir in 1933 in the merger of the men's glee club and the girls‘ chorus. From its beginnings, concert pro grams of the choir have featured the interpretation of traditional and con! temporary sacred choral music. Throughout 'the more than two dec' ades of its existence the choir has appeared regularly in concert in communities throughout the Upper Midwest and the East and West Coasts. In addition, the choir is seasonally selected for major radio network appearances. Proceeds of the Opseth Memorial Concert will be used to perpetuate the Henry P. Opseth Memorial Scholarship established in 1953 by the Henry F. Opseth family. Ac! cording to the provisions of the scholarship a sum of $100.00 will be presented annually to an Augs' burg sophomore or junior who has been selected according to the terms of the scholarship. Selection will be made on the basis of: a) Outstand- ing promise or achievement in the ﬁeld of music (theoretical or ap‘ plied) at Augsburg College, b) The intent of the recipient to make music his major ﬁeld of study at Augs' burg, c) General academic scholar- ship, d) Character. Curtis Ander' son, Bruno, Minnesota, a sophomore at Augsburg College, was selected as recipient of the initial scholarship of $100.00, a presentation by Mrs. Henry P. Opseth. The Opseth Memorial Concert is being sponsored by members of the Augsburg choral alumni group. Co! chairmen are Mr. Ray Bodin, 4429 17th Avenue South, Minneapolis, and Mr. Kenneth Sorenson, 4848 34th Avenue South, Minneapolis. Admission will be by general ad! mission and patron tickets. The choir returned to the Augsburg Campus February 7th following a two'week tour throughout Minnesota, North Dakota and Wisconsin. WASHINGTON, D. C., ALUMNI CLUB On Friday night, January 8, 1954, the Augsburg Alumni Association of Washington, D. 0., met in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Irving Mann ger, 810 Chalfonte Driven Alexan' dria, Va. After an opening prayer by John Nordberg, President Emil Fossan eX' tended a welcome to Mr. Clair Strommen. In a short talk Mr. Strommen discussed the growth of Augsburg and plans for its future, emphasizing the importance of viv tally interested alumni. He then showed the ﬁne new ﬁlm of the school and its activities. A pleasant social hour followed with a delicious lunch served by the hostess. Members and associates present at the meeting were: Mr. and Mrs. Irving Manger (hosts); Clair Strom' men, Mr. and Mrs. Sylvan Bestul, Glendora Dueland, Emil Fossan, Anr ker Harbo, Mr. and Mrs. Rolf Harv b0, Mrs. Anna Larson, Mr. and Mrs. John Nordberg, Beatrice Syd, nes. CHICAGO ALUMNI CLUB On January 3, 1954, the alumni and friends of Augsburg met in the Oriole Room of the Y.M.C.A. Hotel. Some thirty were there to see the new Augsburg ﬁlm, “Augsburg To day" and to hear records of the Augsburg Concert Band. Rev. David Boxrud was elected President of the Chicago chapter. Miss Delores Flaa, Mrs. W. Lang, haug and Mr. Henry Manger were chosen to coordinate the Augsburg alumni library campaign in the Chi' cago area. Betty Manger ‘53, Sec. Rev. David E. Bergstrom ‘38, who has been a pastor in the First Evan! gelical Covenant Church at Superior, Wisconsin, died January 28, 1954 He is survived by his wife, Helen, and three children, Paul, Mary, and Susan. FROM THE ALUMNI DESK I had a most enjoyable visit with the alumni in the Chicago, New York and Washington, D. C., areas, last month. The most interesting fact to me was that Augsburg peo' ple are in many varying positions and doing well. The FBI, Importr ing of steel, Federal Bureau of Com— munications, Army, Translating of languages for State Dept., Naval Observatory, Teaching, Ministry, Chemical Research, Insurance Busi— ness, Home Economics, and Music are a few of the varying types of vocations represented. O In our December 31 report I not ticed that $27,000.00 was contrib' uted in the Advance campaign by alumni and so far in our general campaign we have $34,000. This represents a good sum but the to' tal contributors of this $61,000 are only 612 alumni of 2400 solicited so far. This is not good. We can‘t all give hundreds, but we can all give some. If nothing else, the Bulletin should be worth several dollars a year. IN MEMORIAM We regret that we omitted the news of the passing of Miss Ragna Sverdrup in our last bulletin. Miss Ragna Sverdrup, 68, passed away September 27, 1953. Funeral services were held September 30 at Trinity Lutheran Church. Miss Sverdrup served as treasurer of Augsburg College from 1902 um til the time of her retirement in 1949. Following her retirement she continued her services in the treas' urer’s ofﬁce until the time of her recent illness and death. Miss Sverdrup was the daughter of the late Professor Georg Sver' drup and a sister of the late Dr. George Sverdrup, each of whom served as president of Augsburg College and Seminary for a com— bined term of ﬁfty years. Miss Sverdrup participated in nu! merous activities of Augsburg Col‘ lege and the Lutheran Free Church. A graduate of the Minneapolis Con— servatory of Music, she was an in' structor in piano for many years in conjunction with her duties at Augs' burg. s A'JL.."_ d

A key ﬁgure in the administration of the Bureau has been its assistant director (since 1946) Rolf T. Harbo, a warm understanding man whose varied ex- perience has groomed him for this important position. Rolf entered duty as a Special Agent for the FBI in 1932 when young lawyers were numerous and strug‘ gling. Since then he has participated in cases of nation- wide interest, his work taking him to every state. Hawaii and Puerto Rico. He has served as director of the Crime Detection Laboratory, as the personal represen' tative of the director, J. Edgar Hoover. and personally conducts investigations of a highly conﬁdential nature. Early in 1954 he was given administrative supervi' sion over the Training and Inspection Division, where his educational background and experience (Minne- sota and North Dakota public schools 192129) will be valuable in training Bureau personnel, and law'enforce- ment ofﬁcers from all parts of the nation. Born in Duluth, Rolf began at ﬁve the ﬁrst of ﬁfteen years on the Augsburg campus where his father was professor of Systematic Theology. Between 190‘) and 1931 at least one and sometimes as many as four of the seven Harho boys were enrolled at the Academy or College. In a family of nine children there was little time for idlene5s, hence before he was ten he began a succession of jobs selling papers, running errands, cad- dying, engagements playing the trumpet, harvesting. During the school year he was active in music, athletics, Echo editor and Augsburgian staff, and walked off with class honors as valedictorian in 1922. After more than 21 years in the FBI, Rolf says that a lucrative law practice could never have given him the personal satisfaction he has received from working under the dynamic leadership of Mr. Hoover, whose Christian dedication to God, country and duty have been a continuing inspiration. A gleam comes into his eyes at the mention garden- ing and motor mechanics, and his interest in music and athletics have grown through the years. He is a mem- ber of the International Association of Chiefs of Police. Phi Delta Kappa, Phi Alpha Delta, the Lutheran Church and the Masonic Order. In 1939 he succumbed to the lure of the hearth and marrietl the former Grace Croyle, a native Pennsylvanian. Their home is 801 So. Overlook Drive, Alexandria, Va. Rolf T. Horbc to" J. Sverdrup 0% ,JW lElF J. SVERDRUP The year 1928 marks the beginning of a partnership between a young engineer and his former professor which within a decade was to skyrocket Leif Svcrdrup to international fame as a consulting engineer. The present company of which he i: president. Sverdrup and Parcel. Inc, St Louis. Mo. is an outgrowth of this partnership. When World “’ar II broke out. Sverdrup was already in the Paciﬁc as a civilian supervising the construction of a chain of air bases for a plane ferrying route to the under contract with the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. Phillipines and Australia. which his company designed, Commissioned a colonel in the Corps of Engineers in ‘42. he served continuously in southwest Paciﬁc areas until 1945. when he returned to the United States with the rank of major general. During the Leyte and Luzon invasions he held the post of Acting Chief Engineer to Gen MacArthur's Command and later became Commanding General of the Engineer Construction Command in the Southwest Paciﬁc. He was responsible for the building of 200 airstrips and airﬁelds and numerous military roads and bridges. He was decorated with the Distinguished Ser' vice Cross. Distinguished Service Medal. Silver Star, Legion of Merit. Purple Heart and two foreign decora' tions. Since 1947 General Sverdrup has commanded the 1(1an Reserve Infantry Division with Headquarters in St. Louis. Leif ]. Sverdrup. whose father was Edvard Sverdrup. was born in Norway. He came to the United States in 1914. and graduated from Augsburg College in 1918 with a BA. degree. He immediately entered the Army and received his citizenship and commission almost simultaneously. Following service in \Vorld War I. he attended the University of Minnesota and received the degree of B S. in Civil Engineering in 1921. The next seven years he spent with the State Highway Depart' merits of Minnesota and Missouri. The civic and professional organizations plus g0vern- mental boards and agencies in which General Sverdrup takes an active part are legion. In 1950 he was awarded the Oiitstanding Achievement Medal of the University of Minnesota; in March 1952. he received the Honor Award for Distinguished Service in Engineering from the University of Missouri; and in May, 1952, he was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Engineering by the University of Missouri School of Mines and Me‘ tallurgy. General Sverdrup's varied activities include serving as Norwegian consul for the states of Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma. Only recently Norway conferred upon him the Order of St. Olaf, the highest decoration which that government can bestow on a non'citizen. Away from the job he likes to hunt and ﬁsh. His residence is 1155 Hillside Drive. Hampton Park, .Richmond Heights, Mo.

Show moreWELCOME HOME! Dr. Christensen A warm and cordial welcome to every alumnus re- turning for Homecoming 1950! Augsburg’s chief riches, besides the riches of the Gospel Itself, is in her sons and daughters whose lives exemplify and transmit her spirit in the world beyond the campus. Welcome home! once again, for a renewal of “the tie that binds” us into one Augsburg Family. June 18, 1950, the Day of Dedication for Science Hall, marked an important milestone in Augsburg’s his- tory. For several years past our efforts had been centered in planning and making possible the erection of this unit. of such vital importance to our work as a school. Dr. Bernhard Christensen Including the offering taken on Dedication Day, the actual cost of the building itself is practically paid, though there remains an indebtedness of about $100,000 covering the cost of the equipment and furnishings. But now both the appearance of our campus and our facilities for work have been transformed, and in that transformation our alumni have had a large and worthy part. As the years move forward and our alumni circle widens, it is a wonderful experience to sense the strength of support that comes to -us here on the campus from this larger fellowship. Now, as our country probably faces a new time of testing in a troubled world, and the colleges are called upon to bear their part again as they have done in the past, it is especially heartening to have our Augsburg alumni leadership giving strong and en- thusiastic new emphasis to its work through the Augs- burg Foundation. The Foundation (the simpliﬁed name is a real forward step, too!) bears within itself, I am convinced, vast possibilities for effective cooperation among our Augsburg alumni and friends in the cause which we all love. And in due season the things that have been well begun at our College and Seminary will ﬁnd added expression in the form of both buildings and educational service. Is there anything ﬁner in life than to have a part in an organization or movement which is both spiritually creative and growing with the years? So we say “Welcome Home” once more, we invite you both to rejoice in past achievements at our Alma Mater, and to dream of others to come! r Theme: “Edify One Another" WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER I 5:00-7:00 P.M.

These are provoking and try- ing days and it seems easy to lose sight of the clear thin thread that binds us in the dusk of a contempo- rary world. But every year comes an occasion to strengthen that tie, and once again we urge you to join together at Augsburg’s Homecoming of 1950, to re-establish forgotten or misplaced fridships and settle into the days of warmth awaiting you here at Augsburg. Our doors are open, the campus is waiting. and our hand is extended with a friendly invitation for you to “come home" to experi- ence a weekend of reunion and gals activity from Wednesday, Novem- her I, through Sunday, November 5. Remember: CLASS of '28 REUNION Friday Evening, 5-7 P.M. The calendar of events is bulging with good things in store says Dave Bokke, Junior, who heads the Home- . coming Committee. He and his com- mittee members, Jan Nielsen, Delores Flea, Morris Johnson and Orv Ol- son, have been busy as the proverbial heaven with arrangements for both alumni and student functions. The students are moving out of their colorful lounge in Science Hall for the duration of Homecoming and it will become the official Alumni Headquarters. We urge you to come there immediately upon arriving on campus to meet your friends, scan the bulletin board for pertinent no- tices, or just plain relax, rest your feet and chat. The Alumni Registry will be down there at all times and please sign it, both for the record . and for posterity's sake. Things begin happening on Wed- nesday with the religious midweek service in the evening for students in the gym. This affair is usually a and all alumni able to attend. Activi- ties will be resumed on Thursday evening when the lovely Queen of Homecoming will be crowned in the gym. Immediately following the corona- tion all members of the Augsburg Fellowship Foundation are asked to meet in the chapel to vote on consti- tutional changes recommended at the annual meeting of the Alumni Asso- ciation. Several additional changes worked out by the Executive Com- mittee are also to be voted on. Then it’s open house in all the dormitories and refreshments in the dining hall. At 9:00 you’ll have a chance to re- call Auggie yells at the Pepfest and Bonﬁre in Riverside Park. The big Homecoming Chapel serv- ice in Trinity Church on Friday morning features Judge Luther Slet- ten from Minneapolis and his special address; Sheldon Torgerson will lead in devotions and Association Chair- man Lawrence Quanbeck will re- spond to the greeting by student prexy Stan Toussaint. Friday evening is Reunion Time for the Class of ’28 and the Class of ’45, and we oﬁer a hearty greeting to the members of those classes and a very special invitation to be at the Buffet Dinner in the dining hall from 5 to 7 P.M. where you can meet your classmates—and talk and talk and talk. The Buﬂet Dinner, however, is open to everyone who wants to come and before you eat, or after, you can drift over to the Science auditorium to see movies on Augsburg or browse in the Archive display, which inci- dentally will be open all weekend. Later on Friday evening a strictly Auggie Talent Show will be offered Remember: CHORAL REUNION LUNCHEON Saturday, 12:30 P.M.- in Dining Hall riot of fun. Saturday is football day and gets off to a rousing start with the festive and colorful Homecoming Parade in the morning, which has part of its route down Nicollet Avenue in down- town Minneapolis. At 12230 is the Choral Reunion Luncheon, and in the afternoon you have your choice of listening to the Minnesota-Michi- gan game in the student lounge, or seeing the Notre Dame game on tele- vision in the Science auditorium. Saturday afternoon is also coffee time, and that delicious brew will be served in the Home Ec depart- ment anytime your throat gets dry. There is also a special coffee fest planned for directly after chapel on Friday morning. and one after the Parade on Saturday moming—so drop in, won't you? And of course Saturday evening at 8 o'clock sharp comes the struggle between Augsburg and her Home- coming foe, the Concordia Cobbers Remember: CLASS of ’45 REUNION Friday Evening, 5-7 P.M. from Moorhead. That night Nicollet Ball Park will really ring with the Homecoming slogan, "Atom, Aug- gies!” The Homecoming worship service Sunday morning is once again being held at Trinity Church with Rev. C. A. Larson, president of Oak Grove, delivering the message. And Sunday afternoon is always reserved for the grand climax of a proﬁtable week- end. the annual Homecoming Choral Concert in Trinity featuring the voic- es of the Choir and the Choral Club.

Show moreWANTED II More Augsburg Children College graduates want more chil- ' dren, and they are having them. Augsburg College’s recent alumni are doing their share. During the past five years the Population Reference Bureau. a non- proﬁt organization of Washington, D. C. has conducted an annual sur- vey of the children of college gradu- ates. These national studies now show that the birth rates to the end of the ﬁrst ten years out of college have steadily increased for both men and women from the class of 1936 to the clue of 1940. Last winter Augsburg College cooperated with the Bureau in a survey to determine birth rates among the members of our class of 1940. Augsburg's alumni of the class of ’40 are off to a good start familywise. The men of '40 report 1.85 children apiece, but our alumnae of the class unfortunately lag with but .58 of a child each. Although these are both below the 2.1 children estimated as for replacement, it is evi- dent that in their remaining produc- tive years they can replace them- selves if they decide to do so. Happily, Augsburg's alumni are above the national average of 1.40 for the 171 colleges where the men of 1940 were reviewed, but our alum- nae compare most unfavorably with the 1.15 average for 173 classes of women of '40. ' Among the colleges where the .' alumni of the class of 1940 were j ' studied, Hillsdale College, Michigan - reported the most children, ayerag- ing ,2.31 apiece. Brigham Young alumnae of ’40 lead the women with 2.03 babies each. Augsburg alumni ' are the highest among those review- ed from Minnesota colleges. followed , 1) St. Olaf men with 1.67 and St. Z."- omas with 1.63. Gustavus Adol- phus men reported 1.49 babies "-epiece, and St. John‘s University _ men of ’40, 1.12. The alumnae from - Gustavus Adolphus average 1.35 chil- ' ~ dren each. while there are 1.28 per alumna from St. Olaf. Macalester '- teports 1.56 babies per alumnus and '; 1.29 per alumna. , . ' Augsburg’s class of 1925 was able to report only 1.50 children per ’ alumnus and 1.14 per alumna, a quarter century later. Falling below 2.1, the men are failing to replace themselves by 29 per cent and the women by 46 per cent. Not even the married grads of ’25 achieve replace- ment. The Bureau uses the survey as a barometer of America’s collegiate birth rate. As our abler people en- roll in colleges in increasing num- bers, the effect of the next genera- tion will be most unfortunate if they receive along with their diplomas the tradition of small families.

Show moreAug: Tackle Concordia In Homecoming Meet Homecoming 1950! A gain the wide variety of activities comprising this event will be climaxed by a foot- ball thriller. Although the gentlemen who coach the Auggies will ﬁnd it hard to promise a victory compar- able to the 194-9 shellacking of St. Mary‘s. their football bill of fare may provide a good deal of excite- ment. Head Coach Edor Nelson is look- ing forward to a close game in the Augs encounter with Concordia. Having started the season with eight of the 1949 guards and tackles ab- sent from the roster, Nelson and Line Coach Bob Bjorklund have been faced with a formidable problem in ﬁlling the gaping holes in the line. Then too, other losses have been sus- tained since practice sessions began. Bob Glockner, promising sophomore quarterback, and Don Allar, ﬁrst string tackle. lost out to their draft boards. Starting center Stan Benson sustained a knee injury which will sideline him for the season, while halfbacks Dick Howells and Clar- ence Framstad will be sidelined per- manently by conditions which they have developed. In conference games played so far this season, the Auggies have failed to show the doggedness that placed them on top of the conference in de- fense last year. Against both Gusta- \us and Hamline the outsized Augs found themselves plagued by speedy backs who found it especially worth- while to do their ground gaining around end. The explanation for this Auggie weakness is somewhat com- plex but can be chalked up mostly to inexperience and to our lack of size. Incidentally, the Augs lost to Gusta- Co-Captoins John Norton and Jim Kottom vus 33-0 and to Hamline 31-13. How- ever. since Gustavus is rated as the conference favorite and Hamline has been picked by many as a darkhorse, the Augs need not be discouraged. They have lost to better than aver- age teams and will ﬁnd most of their remaining schedule somewhat more even. The Homecoming game will ﬁnd the Auggies pitted against a team which has suffered similar setbacks in early season games. The Cobbers have lost to both St. Olaf and Gus tavus by healthy margins and should be no more than equal to the Aug- gies on November 4. NAME POS YEAR Dillon, Don .. .. .,. . .
