As stated in the constitution, it was “formed for the purpose of awakening an interest in and promoting discussion of national and international affairs among the students of Augsburg College and Seminary.” Its program includes lectures and forum discussions conducted by experts on national and international polity. Meetings are generally open to the public. A library of over seventy volumes, embracing the most recent and authori- tative works in the field, has been donated to the IRC by the Carnegie Foundation. New books are added "from year to year. Membership in the organization is restricted to students enrolled in history or social science courses. Although the roster is not very large, the IRC has tried to meet the need for a broadened understanding and appreciation of the problems converging on the screen of national and international relations.

Founded for the purpose of promoting interest in missions, the group has maintained an unswerving path in its meetings and in its work. Meetings at which the message is brought by a student, a minister, or a missionary home on furlough are held every week. The climax of the year comes every spring when the annual Mission Festival is sponsored by the Mission Society. The Festival consists of exhibits, prominent speakers, and pictures from the various mission fields are shown. The proceeds from this event are used, together with contributions from the members, to support a native worker in Madagascar. Tract work, meetings at the Gateway Mission, and house visiting make up the work of the society during the school year. 47 Show less

HE Women’s Athletic Association was created for the purpose of supplying the women of Augsburg with recreational activity. Membership in the organization is open to every woman who has earned 100 points in any of the sports sponsored by the Association. Members failing to participate in sports for two consecutive quarters automatically lose their membership. Readmittance may be obtained upon once more earning 100 points. A gold pin is awarded those women who have earned 500 points. The letter “A” is awarded to those having earned 1000 points. Sports in which points may be acquired are: Diamondball, handball, volleyball, tennis, soccer, badminton, golf, skating, hiking, skiing, basketball, and tobogganing. The W. A. A. is a member of the Minnesota Association of Minnesota Women, and several delegates are sent to the intramural convention. Under the direction of Miss Allys Collings the W. A. A. has vastly increased its scope this year. Show less

To those who have always appreciated music, this organization has been a means of approach to its deeper beauties. A weekly music appreciation hour sponsored by this club has been a source of pleasure and inspiration. The strains of Beethoven, Wagner, Tschai— kowski, and the other immortals, as they became more familiar, furnished us with a new insight into the prismatic possibilities of the esthetics. 51 Show less

The tennis squad was composed of the following: George Johnson, Elmer Frykman, Ingolf Kronstad, Wesley Gullickson, Bob Christenson, and Lucius Heusser. The group engaged in several matches with State Conference schools, usually traveling with the baseball team. The team had its winter quarters in the Minneapolis Armory, its spring training being held at Riverside park. Allys Collings assisted as coach in early season practice, but had to relinquish her time because of a crowded schedule. Kronstad served as coach for the remainder of the season. 77 Show less

Show more‘ W I‘ l T0 the Student Most Likely to Succeed Insurance is a stuffy uninteresting bore. It has become a necessity, however, and some day you may even try selling it for a livelihood. Other things being equal, an insured man is more likely to succeed than the unprotected man. Insurance against loss of income by injury or illness is the most important of all kinds of protection. It is important even to students with their exposure to possible misfortune in athletics, recreation, and school activities. We furnish that protection under a mutual plan at the lowest possible cost. We wish for you a most successful and happy future.

Quanbcck, Dixcn THE ENGLISH CLUB HE attainment of a deeper student appreciation and enjoyment of litera— ture has resulted from the organization of the English Club. Contemporary poetry and prose, with all its problems for critical thinkers, has occupied much of the time of the members of this society. A fusion of the Round Table with the English Club in 1938, has brought about a rejuvenation of the society, both from the standpoint of increased membership and general interest. Membership in the English Club is limited to students with a “B” average, who obtain recommendations from an English instructor. Cultural literary activity has offered the students enjoyment which should prove to be accumulative. Show less

Along with the usual quota from the Mid- western states, a goodly number traveled to Augsburg from the Pacific and Atlantic coasts. The Freshmen have made an enviable record in both major and minor sports, with more women engaged in athletics than usual. Scholas- tically, the class of 1942 ranks very high, evidence of which is shown in sterling work turned out by the members in Journalism, Forensics, and Music. With the greater portion of this year’s Freshmen returning in the fall, a year of unprecedented expansion may be looked forward to next year. 37 Show less

These principles govern the religious, business, and social affairs of the organization. Membership in the W. S. G. A. is open to every woman student at Augsburg. In addition to the four executive officers there are several committees responsible for the association’s activities. The social director makes arrangements for the informal gatherings held during the year. The Big Sister committee assigns an upper class member to every new woman student, and the Religious Activities committee is respon— sible for the weekly prayer meetings and the Candle Light Service conducted each fall. Miss Mortensen, dean of women, is faculty advisor for the group. 53 Show less

This is only the second year Augsburg has participated in intercollegiate track. The team had as its student coach Ace Hoberg; Boyd Lien, manager, assisted. The team competed in a few triangular meets, and gave the rest of the teams good competition in the conference meet. M. Anderson and L. Formo, half- milers, and Paul Fauske, dashman were the veterans returning. Frosh who made a creditable showing were Caspersen, 2-mile; Ienson, dashes; Bob Tollefson, hurdles; and Valvik, high jumper. The squad was handicapped by lack of indoor work, but this was overcome when practice was resumed outside. It deserves much credit for bringing track back to Augsburg. Show less
