Show more."‘_{f y.“ s In Appreciation Clair Strommen, ’46, was not only a big man in physi- cal stature, but big also in his creative ideas, goals and enterprises as he envisioned them in connection with his work as Director of Public Relations and Alumni Executive Secretary at Augsburg the past few years. He met the public, either students and parents, or business and professional people with self-assurant poise, creating a ﬁne sort of prestige for Augsburg. No small cut-of-the-cloth ideas suited him. He wanted stimulating forward-looking ideas. He wanted the best for Augsburg. The inscription above an old English ﬁreplace char- acterised him in his service at Augsburg: “Think no small thoughts They have no power to move men’s souls." Ed. Note: Clair Strommen now is in insurance work at 5l'::.rgo, No. Dakota. He was at Augsburg from 1951. 19 Greetings from Your Alumni Committee It is a pleasure for me, on behalf of the Alumni Exe- cutive Committee, to extend a word of greeting and a special invitation to all graduates and former students to attend the 1954 Homecoming Festivities. Special fea- tures include Class Reunions, reunions for the “A” Club and Music Groups, a special afternoon tea for Teaching Alumni, Homecoming Smorgasbord, Football Game, Homecomin Worship Service and Choral Concert, clim- axed by the ying of the cornerstone for the new Library on Sunday afternoon. Help us to make this a banner Homecoming! Big things have been taking place on the campus in recent years which should make every Auggie proud of having been identiﬁed with our school. Perhaps the biggest single thing that has taken place educationally for the college, at least in my experience, was the accept- ance of Augsburg into the North Central Association this past year. With the completion of Science Hall, the erection of a new Library which should be completed by next spring, and assurance that work will soon begin on a new addition to the Women‘s dormitory, Augsburg can take her place among the leading Christian Colleges of the Upper Midwest. The next step in Augsburg’s de- velopment rogram must be to provide a modern Gym- nasium-Au itorium building. I am sure that all alumni and former students who believe in Augsburg will want to have a share in helping to make this a reality. May your visit to your Alma Mater be enjoyable and proﬁtable. We ho that you will attend as many of the activities as possibie and that you will go away with the feeling of pride and gratitude at what has been done at our school. May we all be spurred on by past accom- plishments and each resolve to do our full share as Aug- gies in the building of a Greater Augsburg! R. F. Paula, ’37, President, Greater Alumni Association Norwegian Delegation Visits Augsburg On Thursday, September 9, the members of the dele- gation from the Church of Norway to the Evanston Convention of the World Council of Churches visited the Augsburg Campus. After a tour of Science Hall un. der the direction of Dr. Christensen and Dr. T. O. Bum- tvedt, the President of the Lutheran Free Church, a brief service was held in the Tower Prayer Chapel at which time ofﬁcial greetings were brought by Mr. Kristian Hansson, the Executive Director of the Depart- ment of Church and Education of the Church of Nor- way, and by Dr. Fritjov Birkoli, the Executive Director of the Department of World Missions of the Lutheran World Federation. Mr. Hansson presented to Augsburg a beautiful volume entitled “Old Norse Book of Homil- ies,” a recently published edition of the oldest book existing in the Norse language, a manuscript written in the 12th century. The volume was personally inscribed by the visiting delegation and will be placed among the rare books of the new library. New Faculty Nine new instructors, including four alumni, have joined the Augsburg faculty. They are: Dr. Henry Staub, ’43, Personal and Community Health; Rev. Har- old G. Nydahl, ’36, C.T. ’40, pastor of St. Petri Lutheran Church, Minneapolis, Christian Ethics and Problems in Christian Living; Rev. Everald Strom, ’42, pastor Eben- ezer Lutheran Church (LB), Minneapolis, will teach a course in Basic Bible; Mr. Kenneth Lower, ’28, execu- tive secretary of the Alumni Association and Manager of Music Organizations. Other new faculty members are: Allen Blair, instructor in Physics; Dr. Lois Hutchings, Biology; Everett M. Larson, English; John Lindberg, Mathematics; and Cal Roberts, assistant football coach. 733 Students Enrolled This Fall According to the latest enrollment ﬁgures, 733 students are enrolled at Augsburg College for the ﬁrst semester. This is 26 more than last year at this same time. The freshman class is the largest with 224 freshmen enrolled. Sophomores total 150, and the juniors are 102 in number.

[anon Friend: attending groundbreaking Work progrqu on foundation Groundbreaking ceremonies were conducted on July 13, the day on which the Board of Trustees met for their annual meeting. Pastor E. G. Larson, chairman of the board, manipulated the shovel. Hundreds of friends gathered for the occasion. A huge mechanical shovel and several trucks imme' diately moved in. The excavation was completed in a few days, and the pouring of the footings and later the foundation walls proceeded rapidly. The contractor expects to have the building enclosed by December 1. 0:02 W. . . The Library Completed and Paid For Our L i b r a r y Project, from its very beginning, has been a wonderful example of what can be done by united action under enthuv siastic and consecrated leadership. God has been very good to us. We believe that He gave the vision and the courage to begin, and He has led us forward step by step. And now, as we face the fact that the Library will cost considerably more than we had first planr ned, we know that also these additional thousands of dollars will be given and gathered. The Library completed and paid for—an inspiring center of Christian study for many generations to come at Augsburg—this is our goal! To achieve this goal, many who have already contributed can add to their gifts, and the congregations where the work is still to be done can put forth special effort to exceed their goals. The project begun must be ﬁnished, and then the full joy of victory will be ours. —Bernhard Christensen Dr. Iombard Christensen We Must Exceed Our Goal As we enter in upon the ﬁnal period of the Library Cam- paign, we are grateful to God for the privilege we have had to serve as directors of this work. The cooperation. the in- terest, and the response thus far from all concerned has been a source of real inspiration to us. But the magnitude of the challenge before us is such that we must not be content to merely reach the goal of $400,- 000 plus expenses set for this Campaign, but We must deter- mine to exceed that goal by . 850,000. This will be necessary if the objectives of this Campaign are to be achieved. We believe it is the Will of the people of our church, and of our alumni and friends that this be done. We therefore appeal to all of our congregations to keep at this Campaign until their minimum goals have been met or exceeded. We appeal to all the alumni and former students to con- tribute generously. We appeal to the friends of Augs- burg to invest in this project. Let us‘ resolve that m gratitude to God for the abundant blessmgs which are ours, we will give gladly and freely of our temporal possessions in order that tomorrow’s youth may walk in the way of truth. —-C.

Though he has just passed sixty years we expect him to stay with us and on the job for a long time yet. His father still lives on their farm having reached the age of 92! Conrad Sunde came to Augsburg Academy and went on through the college. College courses were prescribed with very few electives and there was much emphasis on language. But Sunde spent time on music (clarinet) and scientific and mechanical hobbies. Sunde served in the A.E.F. in France in 1918-1919 and later turned to serious study of his major interest, chemistry. 8.5., 1922, Northern State Teachers College, Brookings, South Dakota; M.S., in Organic Chemistry, U. of M., 1926.

Show morei” \\\ \l\I Ill I warm 1 Chaplain DRANGE “L0. I am with you always. . . ." These words were ﬁrst spoken to a small band of men with a global mis- sion. The Savior had just given them the Great Com- mission to bear His message of salvation to all nations. He knew that this task would take them to strange and distant lands. Hardships and diﬂicult problems would be their lot. So. lest they should be overwhelmed by the greatness of their task, He gave His disciples this blessed assurance of His presence with them—“Lo, I am with you always.” The American service man and service family of to- day need this same promise. The mission of our armed forces has assumed global proportions. With the excep- tion of World War II, never have our armed forces been scattered so widely over the world. This generation of service people is a generation of world travelers. In a short tour of stateside duty (twelve to eighteen months) it is possible to be transferred two or three times. Some- times these transfers involve moves from coast to coast or from our Northern Boundary to the deep South. Then, too, the large number of overseas stations located from the Arctic to the tropics must be manned. This means more travel to new and strange places which are only names on the map to most people. To the service man, however, they are very real, whether they are inter- esting or dull, pleasant or unpleasant. Each place presents its own problems and adjustments. On ﬁrst thought it seems that all this travel would mean continuous excitement and interesting adventure. gin unchanging Chridt Chaplain Arnold Drange, ’49, luther Seminary, Til—Chaplain Orange is stationed at Ernest Harmon Air Force Base at Stephenville. Now- loundland. His wile, the former Mavis Felix (4849), made a trip to Newfoundland to visit Arnie this summer. They have one daughter, Victoria Anne, 2 years. No doubt there is an element of adventure in it, but travel in military life is quite different from tourist travel. The tourist goes from place to place, sees what he wishes to see, and then goes on. The service man and his fam- ily, however, come to their new station and have to make adjustments to new policies, new laws, new com- munity life, and often to a strange climate. Then when the family is settled, new orders may come, and the process begins all over again. It can and does happen as often as ten times in ten years. In this highly mobile military society with its many and sudden changes, our people need something to which they can cling. This is true of “short timers” as well as career people. For all of them the many uncertainties have a disruptive inﬂuence, and their hearts long for something solid, something stable. It is then the privilege of the Christian to make needy souls aware of the ever present Savior, Who alone can give their lives stability and meaning. To live in the reality of Christ’s promise, “Lo, 1 am with you always,” and to share this promise with others—this is God’s challenge to every Christian in service, whether he is a Chaplain or layman. The challenge comes also to our Christian churches and colleges-to proclaim this prom- ise to our young men and women, many of whom must experience the frustrations of military life. As we meet this challenge and proclaim this promise we enrich our lives and the lives of others with a stability and purpose that transcends life’s fickleness. A. N. Dames Chaplain (lat Lt.) U. S.

Show moreESTHER AUNE Words like phenol formaldehyde, polyethylene. and polytetrafluoroethylene are common as slang to Esther Aune. who since 1946 has served on the staff of the plastics laboratory at Minneapolis Honeywell Regulator Company. This group tests physical. electrical and ther— mal properties of different plastic materials to deter' mine their suitability for Honeywell applications. At present Esther is on the technical staff with 23 men in this department, and is one of the ﬁve group leaders. Esther grew up on a farm near Underwood, Minne- sota. with six brothers and sisters. Her father is a state legislator. Except for one sister who transferred to the Minneapolis College of Music after two years at Augs- Lurg. all of her brothers and sisters graduated from Augsburg College. Miss Aune graduated from Augsburg magna cum laude with a science major in 1941. She taught school at Bertha. Minnesota, for one year, and then served in the Army Ordnance department during World War II. Esther‘s job offers many interesting experiences. She has given lectures at Honeywell's evening plastics school. and when a unusual problem arises. she will ﬂy to New York or some other city to consult with other plastics experts. Outside of working hours Esther keeps busy with many varied activities. She is on the Augsburg Alumni Executive Committee. She is on the Board of Directors and membership chairman of the Upper Midwest section of the Society of Plastic Engineers. At Rosedale Luther- an Church she teaches a post'conﬁrmation Bible class, and helps with the Luther League. She has been the contact person for the LPC with the Lutheran Welfare Service Club. Esther Aune lives at 3305 Irving Avenue South. Minneapolis. JOHN NORDBERG Included in our distinguished Washington. D. C. Alumni Club is its former president, John J. Nordberg, Assistant Chief Accountant thh the Federal Communi' cations Commission. John 15 in charge of the Account, mg System Diviston which prescribes all the accounting rules that are used by telephone, telegraph and cable companies. It was John‘s persistence together with other Auggie gogetters in the East, who paved the way for the Augsburg College Choir tour to the East Coast in 1953. He still feels that his church. the large Reforma’ tion Lutheran Church. is much richer because of it. Born on a farm near Starbuck. Minnesota. where his family were members of a Lutheran Free Church, and because his uncles. Carl and Gustav, were LFC pastors, it was only natural that John should start Augsburg in 1927. Going to school required working his way through. but he found time to be tenor soloist one of the three years he sang in the Augsburg Glee Club. After nearly three years at Augsburg, Nordberg took a government job at the Naval Observatory in Washing, ton, D. C. On August 15, 1931. be interrupted his academic training long enough to marry Lydia Halling, '31, a Lutheran Free Church pastor's daughter. whom he had met at college. In 1935 he received his A.B. de’ gree from George Washington University where he had ﬁnished by night school while working days. The same year he transferred to the Federal Communications Com' mission. An interlude of four years came when Lieutenant Commander John J. Nordberg served with the U. S. Navy during World War ll. Nordberg undertakes his extracurricular activities with the same zest and enthusiasm that he does every- thing else. One of the most active laymen in the ULCA, he represented his Synod at the Evangelism Conference in Minneapolis two years ago. Since World War ll he has taught a men‘s Bible class at Reformation Lutheran Church where he also sings in the choir and is a mem' ber of the church council. He is president of the Wash' ington District Brotherhood. John is also a member of the American Accounting Association and the Federal Accountants Association. He and his wife live with their one dau hter. Karon Anne, 15, at 3105 North Pollard Street, Ariington. Vir' ginia.

Show more, -.rr1-._ .. 7's:- 50 President's Du‘ New Milestones On the Way Forward 1 Friday. March 26, 1954. marked an important date in the history of Augsburg. On that day Augsburg College was formally admitted to the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools at the annual meet' ing of the Association held at the Palmer House in Chi. cago. For several years past the Board of Trustees. the faculty. and the administration have been actively en- gaged in taking the steps necessary to qualify for mem' bership. Advances have been made in many areas— ﬁnances. plant, curriculum, administrative procedures. and many others. One of the most comprehensive projv ects of these years was the institutional selfrsurvey cov’ ering all aspects of the College. carried out during the school year 1953-54. This survey, in which the whole faculty participated. was directed by a committee con' sisting of Dean Martin Quanbeck. chairman; Dr. John Stensvaag. and Miss Mildred Joel. It was completed and submitted in june, 1953. On December 10 and ll, 1953. Augsburg was visited by the oﬁcial committee of North Central Association examiners. consisting of President Irwin J. Lubbers of Hope College and Dr. Melvin W. Hyde. Assistant Presi— dent of Drake University. The Examining Committee reported to the Board of Review. and through this Board to the Commission on Colleges and Universities. The Association action admitting Augsburg was based on the recommendation of these bodies. The North Central Association is the largest of the regional accrediting associations in the United States, covering nineteen states and including nearly 400 colr leges and universities and more than 3.000 secondary schools. Membership within it will mean that Augsburg graduates will have their credits and degrees recognized without question, not only in the Northwest. but throughout the whole country. ll One noteworthy factor in the achievement has been the improvement of the Library and the campaign now underway for a new Library building. The campaign for funds. launched on a full scale last summer, is ad- vancing steadily under the dynamic leadership of the Director. the Rev. Clifford johnson. '34. ably assisted by Mr. Sig Hjelmeland, ‘41. During the past three months the amounts received in cash and pledges have averaged more than $20,000 per month. Total contribu' tions at the end of March were $228,229.00. The archi' tect‘s plans for the Library are now practically complete. The Board of Trustees has decided to ask for bids when $300,000.00 has been pledged. It is hoped that this sum may be reached by June or early July. The campaign continues through 1954. with a goal of $400,000. From the East Coast to the far West the alumni too are having a large part in the Library campaign. A day or two ago one alumnus who had participated also in the- advanced campaign sent his second $500.00 gift. Generous gifts to the Library Fund are only one aspect of the evidence of increasing interest and activity in the Alumni Association. Ill Another major building need at Augsburg is more and better housing for women students. To help meet this need the Board of Trustees has recently made prelim' inary application for a loan from the Federal Housing and Home Finance Agency to enable us to build an addi- tion to Sivertsen Hall to house l06 women students. This federal loan program was set up in I950 providing loans on a long term (40'year repayment) basis. It was suspended during the Korean War. but now has been reopened, and many private and church colleges are being beneﬁted by it. It is designed to help the colleges get needed housing without delay. and then pay off a considerable part of the building cost through the dor’ mitory rental income. Our Augsburg application for the loan is still in the early stages; but there is good reason to hope that it will be approved. [V Meanwhile. the regular program of Augsburg moves forward day by day. In a sense every day is a “mile stone" of educational importance. The campus is buzzing with activity. both curricular and “cocurricular”. as those of you know who visit us. The faculty is partici’ pating widely also in community life, making contribu’ tions. receiving recognitions. contributing effectively to both church and state —— just as many of the alumni are doing in their phases of service. literally all around the world. To build and conduct a college and seminary involves constant challenge. constant effort. constant alertness in strengthening the educational program. We are deeply grateful both to God and to thousands of friends for the part which each one of them has taken in building Augsburg ever stronger and better, more able to serve the needs of youth in the strange atomic era of which we are a part. The events of this year have opened up many new and promising horizons. With new inspira' tion and assurance we can continue to move forward to gether — to new and higher goals tomorrow.

Library Campaign Forges Ahead The ﬁne attitude and good will which has characterized the Library Campaign from its‘ beginning con' tinues to be revealed by congrega- tions, alumni. and friends as month by month new areas are being or, ganized and the possibility of reach- ing the goal of $400,000 becomes more realistic. The Campaign in the congregations is proceeding accord— ing to schedule. and special efforts are being made to reach all the alumni either by direct personal con' tact or by mail as soon as possible. To date the Campaign has reached the amount of $235,000 in cash and gleegges, and added efforts are now ' g put forth to reach 3300.000 by June of this year. Whether or not this immediate goal will be achieved by this date depends to a great extent upon the support given the Campaign by alumni who have not as yet submitted a pledge. With our Alma Mater now fully accredited by the North Central Asv sociation. we are challenged as never before to renew our loyalties and to give ourselves to an even greater ef— fort and determination to provide at Augsburg this much needed li~ brary which will be of such tremend' ous importance both to students and faculty. It is hoped that construcv tion on the new library will begin by late summer or early fall. but the date of construction will again be, determined by the rapidity with which the Library Campaign forges ahead. Is it unreasonable or impracv tical to expect a gift for this project from every Auggie alumni? C. M. Johnson, ’34, General Director. Library Campaign. Attention. Teachers!

W;— i‘ SDODTS 2 2 Baseball. track. golf and tennis currently highlight the 1954 Spring sports calendar at Augsburg College. Plans now are focused on current baseball prospects. According to Edor Nelson this year‘s group has pro— gressed remarkably. He predicts a better than average season. However. he states similar improved conditions exist in large clubs. Strong contend' ers for this year's title include St. Mary‘s 1953 champions, St. Thomas and St. John's. A prelude of two non-conference games with Bethel and Carleton pre' cede the opening of the conference season with St. Thomas, April 24th. The squad has been cut to 18 men chosen to go the distance for the Auggies. Captain and first baseman is senior letterman Jerry Fullerton. Other inﬁeld berths include letterr man Roger Shelstad at second base. The third base spot will be held by Spencer Drake. a returning servicev man and member of thi 1952 squad. At shortstop is Jim Plumedahl, trans! fer student from St. Olaf. According to Nelson. the Plumedahl‘Shelstad keystone combination is potentially one of the best that the Auggies have had in several seasons. Outfield positions are candidate'laden with lettermen and freshman candidates. Lettermen include Jim Haugen, soph‘ omore. and Vern Wahlstrom, soph- omore. Newcomers who are giving a good account of themselves are Chuck Pering, Henry Bartel, Shel' don Nascene, Robert Lockwood and Bruce Gibson. Coach Edor Nelson feels that he has an outstanding ﬁnd in John Welckle. a freshman from Hanley Falls. as utility inﬁelder. Nelson feels that the difference in an average and better than average team for this year will depend on the unknown quantity available from the field of freshmen candidates for the pitch‘ ing spot, which include Russell Aspv lin. Orin Erickson and Bob Wester- land. Leading veteran candidates for the number one spot are Paul Munson and Erling Huglen. '9 Highlight of the légame schedule will be the night game with the University of Minnesota scheduled for May 18th at Nicollet Park.

Show moreOscar A. Anderson (34-36) Anyone who has ever done it. knows that carrying out the assignment to conduct a Spiritual Emphasis Week at a college is no easy matter. The responsibilities, op— portunities, and character of the situation ﬁll one with not a little trepidation. It was my happy lot in March to visit the Augsburg Campus for a week for just such a series of meetings. It was with fear and trembling that I prepared for the week, seeking by God‘s help to accomplish just one thing; namely, to make the well’known truths of the Gospel relevant to the lives of the students. This is written to acknowledge the splendid help and cooperation I enjoyed in seeking to fulﬁll this objective. This stands out for me as I look back on the week, that so much was done by faculty and students to assist in achieving a new and fresh insight into the Gospel. Several weeks before the Spiritual Emphasis Week, students in the Christianity classes submitted to me topics or problems which they would like to see dis cussed during the week. Naturally, it was not possible to cover all of these, but together they gave a composite picture of those areas of felt need in the student body in which such a Spiritual Emphasis Week might be of help. The overwhelming impression from this little sur' vey was that the students at Augsburg want Christianity made relevant to their everyday lives and experiences. A Week At Augsburg The result was a series of messages on "The Gospel Life." The prayer preparation for the week was evident, ere! ating a sense throughout the student body that the week must count for the Kingdom. With this went a signiﬁ' cant willingness to cast this Spiritual Emphasis Week into new forms. Some “traditional” aspects of Spiritual Emphasis Week were omitted, not because they were felt to be outmoded, but because “sameness” can quench the Spirit of God. A new type of discussion program was set up where, in the students gathered in smaller units to discuss the topics presented in the messages. These groups covered the entire campus and were studentvdirected and stur dent/led. The earnestness of the students to seriously grapple with the deep issues of the Gospel and life was not reﬂected in any emotional upsurge. Rather, the atten’ tiveness and consistently good attendance and participa' tion gave proof that the things which really mattered were being given ﬁrst consideration. It was good to feel the unity of Spirit on the campus, to meet so many consecrated students and faculty mem' bers, and to counsel with them concerning their prob! lems and opportunities. One gains a true optimism con, cerning the future, having been with these ﬁne people. They wanted this week of Gospel emphasis to lift the level of every aspect of college life, and we pray that it may have done so. May I add, also, this personal observation, that a week at Augsburg strengthened a conviction of long standing that Augsburg College has a strategic place in the entire Lutheran Church, being the only Lutheran College in this heart»city of Lutheranism, It is my fond hope and earnest prayer that the day may soon come when Augs— burg may serve to bring its Christ'centered educational emphasis to bear on an even‘greater segment of Amer' ican Lutheranism.

Ludvig Tande If you think you're doing pretty well at establishing a family, take a look at Lud Tande. He is the father of six, the most recent additions be- ing twin girls born February 8, 1954. He married a Floridan in 1944. Ludvig was born and reared at Scobey, Montana. As a refugee from the depression of the '309 he found his way to Augsburg in the fall of 1940. To Augsburg is attached “many of the fondest memories and experi- ences of my life". He sang in the Augsburg Choir under the late Hen- ry Opseth. He also served as student sports publicity director for one year until the entered the Navy. He was discharged a lieutenant, and imme- diately enrolled at Montana State University in Missoula where he re- ceived a B.A. and an LLB. from the Law School. Ludvig began his law practice in Scobey. Montana, with Carl Lind- quist, a past Chief Justice of the Montana Supreme Court. in 1950 Ludvig moved to Plentywood, Mon- tana, where he opened his law ofﬁce, and where he hopes to spend the rest of his days. He is enrolled as an attorney in the Supreme Court of Montana, is vice president of the Montana Bar Association, chairman of the Sheri- dan Count Young Republicansgpast attorney of, Sheridan County, a mem~ ber of the Shrine Club and the Evan- gelical Lutheran Church. When Lud is not playing with his progeny, his hobbies are hunting and politics. Roy Gordon Back in the days when members of the Augsburg basketball team op- erated under various descriptive titles such as mouse. moose. and bear, Roy Gordon was known as bull. This des- ignation indicates that he was a tough -customer on the basketball ﬂoor, and anyone who played against him will verify it. Roy Gordon was one of the most aggressive athletes that Augs- burg has had. Roy was born and reared in Lake Mills. Iowa, and was graduated from Lake Mills High School in 1933. Un- til 1936 he worked in his father’s hardware store. Then he entered Augsburg and was graduated in 1940. While on campus he partici- pated in football. basketball, and baseball, receiving letters in all three. In 1940 he captained the basketball team. and was named Outstanding Athlete. 1941-1946 were years spent in the Army Corps of Engineers, and in 1945 he was commissioned a Major. Today Roy Cordon owns and op- erates a hardware store in San Cle- mente, California. His community in- terests include the chairmanship of the Church Council of Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, of which the Rev. Louis C. Smith, also an Auggie, is pastor; membership in the Rotary Club, Senior Vice Commander Vet- erans of Foreign Wars Post 7142, trustee for Capistrano Union High School, and membership in the Orange County Central Republican Committee. His wife, Alice, is an alumna of Washington State College, and they have two children, Ann Louise, 4 years, and Russell Edward, 6 weeks.
