It has during that period of time made a singular record of service to the people of the North that took up their abode in this land of freedom. Founded in the early pioneer days of our people in America. Augsburg adopted the ideals of the American governmental principle of “a free people in a free land," and has thru well- nigh half a century striven to extend and to propagate this ideal as applied also to church. With the banner words “a free church for a free people in a free land," its founders strove to liberate the Christian congregation. as well as each Christian indi- vidual, from the fetters of hierarchic ecclesiasticism and high-churchism. This has not been done unopposed, however. Augsburg has been constant, alive and true to its first principles, and consequently misunderstood and repeatedly bitterly assailed. History has been made and written, but the mention of Augsburg implies nothing less today than at the time of its pioneer days, and its ideals are loved and cher- ished today by thousands of our people scattered thruout the length and breadth of our land. .... .. For recognition in the academic and educational world, a school's moral influence and Christian ideals are least reckoned with. That Augsburg and kindred schools are recognized, is not because of the standard of their own ideals, but rather in spite of them. Nor is it the number of students (and Augsburg has not been blessed with great numbers of students), but it is rather the academic ability of these and of the teaching force. and the success of its alumni in practical fields afterwards, that bring about this desired recognition. Augsburg has. however, for a long time enjoyed such recognition as being one of the foremost among the institutions of learning of its own class, and one whose alumni are among the most successful in almost every field of activity. During the forty—seven years of its academic existence, Augsburg has graduated 635 students. Of these 393 have graduated from the theological department, and have exerted great influence in our country thru their gospel ministry. Its 241 college grad- uates have chosen. not only the ministry, but a great number have entered into almost every profession thinkable. Among Augsburg’s Alumni are men of front rank promi- nence also in the medical, the scientific, the juridic. the political. the educational and the agricultural pursuits. And wherever Alumni af Augsburg are located, their moral influence is felt, due to the inspiration of the tenets of moral ideals received, as taught them during their growth under the care of their Alma Mater. “Augsburgers are the world over." This we consider very significant, and have therefore thru the leaves of the “AUGSBURGIAN” dedicated several pages of pictures of Augsburgers in their many capacities thruout the world. The reader will find such from the different parts of the United States and Canada. China, Madagascar, Greece, Palestine, Germany, France, Norway and Denmark. May therefore the pages devoted to the Alumni and this contribution as a whole, bring back to you, dear reader. fond associations and reminiscences from the good old days that you spent within the academy halls of your Alma Mater; may they also con- tribute to making you a better Augsburger and a better Alumnus. alive and true to the principles, the ideals and interests of the institution that nurtured you. mlu'm/m‘t-Im «at-minus. .m. m} MUM/AI] _(,1__ 1m mi hm'Itlrmitmvim-Mi=mi‘lm\‘}xii‘fili‘[fir/mi»Ziiiirii‘itli‘hmid/minMMvhliffili'ilii-illi‘iwi’itii hhi=7ifi'irii‘imi>imi“iriivimi‘hiiVitfi‘iili‘iui‘itii-iibw :I Ni KIN: .IY-[Ii-I a‘i‘.‘ NI )YJIYI J1 .

"The Augsburgian," I was strongly tempted to send him a few sheets of commas, question marks. and periods and tell him to fill in with words to his own satis- faction. But following the good old rule to count a hundred before doing anything rash, I presently found myself in a more accommodating mood. It is. however, with considerable hesitancy and some embarrassment that I make my appearance in the select company of the Augsburgians. I imagine I feel something like a minister's son in a millionaires’ club. Somebody who evidently got me mixed with a relative of Mark Twain hinted that this writing be humorous. No hint was ever more misplaced, for be it known by these words that humor is the one element in my mental makeup that is entirely lacking. It is one of Nature's caprices thus to deprive some of her children of a most valuable asset to their mental equipment. For in spite of many new teachings and strange theories to the contrary, I am still of the opinion that such characteristics are inherited, not acquired. Farming is the genial occupation of living in the country and raising. for pleasure or profit. corn and smaller grains, potatoes and various kinds of roots and herbs; horses. cattle. hogs and sheep, and numerous other quadrupeds; fowls and other winged crea- tures; also senators, governors, and presidents. This definition of farming is entirely original and is the result of practical knowl- edge gained in the field of experience, and cannot be found in any dictionary or encyclo- pedia yet published. I shall now proceed to relate to you some of the pleasures of farming and the de- lights of outdoor country life. And this is no joke. for I am not in a mood for joking, even if such a thing were possible with me. But now, why. do you suppose. I, who was free to choose any occupation. vocation or avocation in the world, from street- cleaner to president of the United States, should choose this one, farming? Is it not the best evidence in the world that of all the vocations open to the sons of free America this is the best one? When the doctor takes his own medicine. he proves his faith in his own preparation. Life and living in our time has become to a great extent artificial. some "hair— brained" reformers have from time to time raised a cry of "back to Nature." Such of course “knew not whereof they spoke"; because the present social organization has reached such a stage that any radical digression from its present course is without the pale of possibility. But now I fear I am straying beyond the limits of the subject before me. It will perhaps surprise some of you whose knowledge is mostly theoretical (and by this I do not in any way intend to reflect on the value. may even the superiority of theo- retical knowledge) to learn that the farmer is the “head of the corner" in our present _(,7_ glllllllllilllllIIIll1lIIIll|||lllllllllllllillllllllIllllllllllllllllllllHllll[Illlllllllllll[IIIIHIIHHIHllllllllllllllllllllHIIIIHIIIIllllllHIIHIIIllllll[llllllllllllllllllllHIIHHIIHlllllllllllllllHIIHlllllillllllllllllllllllllllHIIIIllllllllllllllllllllll||||1[IllllHIIIlNIHllllHIIIHIIIHIIIIHlIIIHHIIIHIIIHlllllllllllllllE Show less
