Our special project as an Executive Committee has been this year the study of Alumni work in general and Constitu- tions in particular, with the preparation of a new one to replace our present docu‘ ment, now just 30 years old. Though the distribution of copies was hindered for weeks by the printers' strike we hope that you have had some time to consider it and that you are ready to express yourselves as to its adoption tonight. We have been greatly aided in our work by the publi- cation of the American Alumni Council whose publications we have received since we joined the Council some months ago. Other high-lights of the alumni this year have been: 1. Another boat-trip aboard the Don- na Mae in August. Over 200 graduates and other former students participated. 2. The 1945 Homecoming. Holm and Fossan represented the Alumni in the planning. 3. A Twin City Auggie rally after the St. Olaf game last winter in the Armory. 4. Continued participation in the Building Fund Campaign. President and former students subscribed about $26,000 last year making the total for our sec- tion approximately $61,500. Class of ’38 Has Good Fund Record Twenty-four of the 37 college grad- uates in the Class of 1938 have already contributed or pledged to the Library- Science Hall building fund drive. By the time the drive is ﬁnished this group should be among the leaders in percen- tages of contributors. Here are the names of the 24: David Bergstrom, Paul Frykman, Gre- tha Halvorsen, Arvid L.

Show moreOnly one of a number of Augsburg men at the Lutheran Foreign Missions Conference in Chicago's La Salle Hotel were injured in the r e c e n t f i r e which took the lives of 60 peo- ple. He is Dr. Kristofer Hagen, who recovered quickly from swallowing smoke. Both Dr. Melvin Helland and his brother Rev. Bernhard were unharmed, though they were forced to ﬂee by the ﬁre escape from a room on the ﬁfteenth floor. and a half—crawl method of ambulation did the trick. Three Conference members died, how- ever: Dr. E. E. Snyder of the U.L.C.A. Mission Board and his wife, as well as India Missionary A. F. Schmitthenner, also of the U.L.C.A. Dr. Kristofer Hagen Carl Eilertson Dies In Accident The ranks of potential missionaries as well as Augsburg graduates was depleted by one with the sudden death of Carl Eilertson at Hampden, N. Dak., recently. He was the husband of Wanda Severson, 40. An act of unselﬁsh service led to his death. He was driving a tractor to the aid of a rural mail—carrier who was stalled on his route. The tractor over-turned suddenly, pinning Eilertson to the earth and causing critical injuries resulting in death. Eilertson bore constant witness to his faith and very often presented talks at devotional meetings. His quiet, earnest testimony will be remembered by all who knew him. 1 § . Two other graduates died within recent weeks. Pastor O. Gumbo, C. T. '03, served LFC congregation for many years. His last charge was at Puget Island, Wash. Rev. L. I. Sigurd Olsen of the Class of 1880 died in Minneapolis where he has lived for many years. He was a retired NLCA pastor. Melvin E. Loftness (33-34) is an elec- trician at Gibbon, Minn. Hardis Eek/ten ' (41-44) will have his ﬁrst pastorate in Eagle Grove, Iowa. He recently ﬁnished his course at Luther Seminary and has since been ordained. Towel-covered noses ‘ A.F.F. Secretary Cites Gains, Possibilities Two new members were elected to the General Committee of the Augsburg Foundation Fellowship at its yearly meet- ing in Trinity Church May 18. They are: Dr. William Hanson and A. B. Batalden. The executive secretary presented his re- port and Pastor C. J. Carlson spoke. A large part of the program was furnished by Augsburg musical talent. Both the Choir and Choral Club participated, as well as the Collegiate Male Chorus. Mr. Myrvik also sang two solos. The entire program was a splendid one appreciated by the large gathering which assembled. Several hundred also took advantage of the chance to have lunch at the Dining Hall after the session. Since all AFF members receive the Bulletin we use the method of circulat- ing Rev. Rogne's report. It follows here— with: "Speak to the Children of Israel that they go forwardz—Ex. 14:15. "Christian education during the war years, due to a sharp decline in enrolment, was deﬁnitely on the defensive all over the world. The young men and women were claimed for war production and soldiery. A peaceful preparation for con- secrated service became a secondary mat- ter. All Christian institutions suffered during this strain, and Augsburg was no exception. "But conditions that are discouraging come to an end also. In the providence of God the war ended earlier than we dared to hope, and our young people are now coming back to school. That veter- ans and others have been enrolling at the Christian schools, in far greater numbers than anticipated, has been a cause for rejoicing the past six months. Most of those, who have been in overseas service, come back with deepened convictions that Christianity applied to our every day liv- ing, and to our relationship with people can solve most effectively the problems which vex the nations. These schools, therefore, Augsburg included, are facing at this time the greatest opportunity in their history. “With new opportunities come new re- sponsibilities. As members of the Augs- burg Foundation Fellowship we have made support to the spiritual welfare of Augs- burg our primary concern. We want to have a part in fostering and keeping the "inner life" of the institution on a high plane. We can do this by remembering Augsburg, teachers and students and other workers, regularly in our prayers. The results of such a prayer fellowship cannot be measured with a yard stick, but is nevertheless a source of constant blessing. To meet people who pray regularly for Augsburg, and I have met many of them the past two years, is a real inspiration. "We have not been able in the past year to do as much as we would have wanted to do for enlarging the member- ship of our Fellowship, for other impor- tant work had to come ﬁrst. The total number of members at present is 613. More time must be allotted for this work in the future. With a sharp increase in student enrolment, opportunities for growth become brighter, and we are plan- ning to bring into our group as many of these as have a real interest in Augsburg's future. "Contacts with the entire membership have been made regularly through the Augsburg Bulletin. Members who have not received their copies should let us know immediately. Addresses have changed so rapidly the past years that it is possible some have been missed. "During the past two years the mem~ bers of the Fellowship have set a ﬁne ex- ample of good stewardship. The gifts to current expenses of Augsburg have amounted to some over $6000 each year and in addition to this the members have, during the same period, contributed $31,- 483.60 in cash, bonds, and pledges to the Victory Building Fund. This substantial sum to the Victory Building Fund is evi- dence that the Augsburg Foundation Fel— lowship members are vitally interested in the future growth of Augsburg. The interest is expressed in gifts instead of words. Such tangible results of love and loyalty are appreciated much more than words can express in a report. "Suggestions have been made, both by members of the Fellowship and others who are vitally interested in building a bigger Augsburg in the future. that the financial support which the Fellowship is now giv- ing to Augsburg should be directed more toward a permanent building fund. This is a progressive thought, and it will re- ceive due consideration by the General Committee. Before any change is effected a thorough study will be made of the whole matter. The Stewardship board of the church should also be consulted. Your comments on this plan are hereby in- vited." -—-OLAF ROGNE, Executive Srcrelary

Severson, graduate of the College in 1900, has now retired from the principalship of South High School after giving 12 years of capable leadership to the Minneapolis institution, he continues to make his contribution in the educational ﬁeld. A recent publication, “The Relation of Intelligence To Physiological Age" (St. Paul Book and Stationery Co., $1.50), has attracted the attention of leading psychologists and educators, according to Hialmar Bjornson, who gave the book a lengthy Sunday Tribune review recently. Mr. Severson directs attention to the need for correcting the unsatisfactory basis of school grading which has pre- vailed for so many years—namely that of chronological age. He ﬁnds that physi- ological age, which is closely related to educational age, is a better basis for clas- sifying children. Mr. Severson has been a principal in Minneapolis schools for over 30 years. He taught previously at Augsburg for :1 years. He has been honored at recent gatherings and by election to an honorary life membership in the Minnesota Con- gress of Parents and Teachers Association. Besides his educational duties Prof. Sever- son has been active in-eemperanerwork ' as well as a number of other civic en- terpriscs.

Show moreBATALDEN IS NEW ALUMNI PREXY The ﬁrst ﬂood of post-card ballot re- turns have been received at the Alumni Ofﬁce, and on the basis of these returns the new president for the ensuing three years will be Mr. A. B. Batalden of Min- neapolis, Manager of the Messenger Press. The new adviser will be Rev. L. Warren Hanson, ’30 and ’33, pastor of St. Petri Lutheran Church in Minneapolis who de- feated Helen Holslin (25-28) in a close race. Mr. Batalden won his spurs in alumni work during the middle thirties especially when he travelled far and wide, often at his own expense, to revivify the interest and loyalty of the Auggies. He did yeo- man service plumping for Memorial Hall among business men of Minneapolis too. Since he took over management of the Lutheran Free Church Publishing Co. (now the Messenger Press) that institu- tion has made steady progress. A large addition to the plant has recently been put into use. Pastor Hanson is well known amongst Auggies. He served as a Chaplain in the last war and will be able to make an out- standing contribution as an adviser on the Executive Committee. In bowing out of the president's of- fice Jerome Formo can look back on a good record. During his tenure the ﬁ- nances of the Association have gotten on a ﬁrmer basis, the organization has been expanded to take in all former students, two alumni-sponsored color ﬁlms on Augsburg have been produced, the district rallies and organizations have been promoted, and about $65,000 was raised among alumni for the new build— ing program. The Association itself passed the resolution at its annual meet- ing which really “got things moving" for the Library-Science Hall. GOd’S Personnel "Did you ever have a ‘personnel' proﬁ- lem?” I did not say, "Did you ever have a 'personal’ problem?" for there are many. But I might as Well ask this too, only that I would limit it to your personal spiritual problem. The spiritual problem is a problem only as long as you keep it to yourself. When you and God have a hand in it you will ﬁnd that it is no longer a problem but a solution,—the solution of the only personal problem of inﬁnite signiﬁcance. Our text above is taken from Isaiah 6, but before we get to the "personnel" problem let us seek an answer to the “personal” problem. Isaiah gives that too: "I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake” (Isaiah 43:25). And here you, like many others, have perhaps thought that God saved you for Your sake. To be sure He loves you, He pities you, even like a "father pitieth his chil- dren," but He looks upon you as origi- nally His, and wants you to be eternally His. Thus for His own sake, through Christ, He forgives you and me that we may once more be His and continue to be His. That is the "personal" problem. Now for the "personnel" problem. God has a plan, a project, work to be done. Like a manufacturer He seeks workers. It is Problem: "Whom Shall We Send?" His"’pe'r"s‘6nn’ei"probieih.. HE is seeking much harder than you are. You are looking for a job? He has already "pre— pared the good works that we should walk in them" (Eph. 2:10). Now comes the call “whom shall I send?" What are the requirements? They are two, or of two kinds. First, you must be His, a citizen of His Kingdom. Second, you must be willing, be a volunteer. There are other requirements, such as talents, but the work is so varied that God by His Spirit will ﬁnd your aptitude and show you what it is. Now then, God's Spirit, the perfect "Personnel Agent” is looking for you and others like you, “Whom shall I send?" Isaiah said "Send me." But Isaiah was not perfect: he confessed he had unclean lips. And God cleansed him and made him a ﬁt and proﬁtable servant. You may say: “But I could never be a preacher or a missionary." Maybe not. But did you ever think about singing in the choir, or teaching Sunday School, or shovelling snow oﬂ the church steps, or inviting somebody to come to church? Mayor Humphrey spoke at the Parents’ Night program at Augsburg and gave a real emphasis to the need of Christian people in all walks of life. He said he would want his children to spend at least a part of their college years in a church- supported college. Governor Youngdahl is crusading against drink and gambling. Who sent him? Let us hope that not only voters sent him but that God's Spirit sent him There is no honorable and legitimate calling in all society that does not lend itself to Christian service. Not long ago a cesspool was dug in our neighborhood (we live outside of the city). The man who dug the hole could do a better job if he were a Christian. Absurd you sayl—but no. Some cheat by not digging deep enough. That, how— ever, is not the point. He had a couple of partners, and if these were not Chris- tians, then right there on the job was the best place to win them for Christ. Do you see what I mean? Anything, done in the name of Christ and for His sake, is Service. Whom shall I send? You may not have to change your plans to be a teacher, or a merchant, or anything else; what you must do is to consecrate your talent, your time, your inﬂuence, your money, your whole person to His service. Whom shall I send? There is only one answer for each one of us and it is so obvious. Not "Send somebody else,” but "Here am I, send me!" MELVIN A. HBLLAND. .__nk__..___- LAM

Show moreAugsburg Seminary Graduates Testify “A real Christ with a le Forgiveness." The Gospel would have no meaning for me without the reality of Christ. My own experience of Christ’s forgive- ness has identiﬁed me directly with His atoning death. It is this real Christ with a real forgiveness through a real cruciﬁxion and resurrection, that can be the only hope for this world which has constantly sought redemption from evil forces, but in its seeking has always overlooked Christ as the answer. My one great life desire is that God can use me to point a fearful and questioning world to Jesus Christ, the Universal Rock of our Salvation. HOWARD BENSON FRANZEN. . . to Help people to Peace with God” As the thinking man surveys the world about him, he sees the terrible effects of what the Bible calls sin. Moral corrup- tion is more in evidence than most men are willing to admit. At the root of the evil and seething unrest of our time is sin. There is no hope of triumph over sin and its resulting evils outside of Jesus Christ the Son of God. The good tidings of peace for man with God is sorely needed. Oh, that God will make me by His grace a molded and clear channel for His saving Word. To help people to peace with God is my primary hope as I enter into the blessed work of the Chris- tian Ministry. ARTHUR J. REESNES. “I Deem It an Honor and Responsibility” God knows the universal and supreme need of men. That need is a new nature, a new life which expresses itself in child— like trust in God and love toward one another. He has fully met that need in the Lord Jesus Christ. He has commis- sioned the Church to proclaim this provi— sion as a free gift to all men. I deem it a great honor and a responsibility to be set apart by God and the Church to preach the gospel. My most earnest de- sire is to so abandon myself to this work that I can fulﬁll my ministry. OBED W. WesTrHAL. “The World Stands in Desperate Need” God has redeemed me, a lost and con- demned creature, by the atoning work of His Son, Jesus Christ. It Was through faith in this Son of God that this re- demption became mine and that I re- ceived the forgiveness of my sins and began to live in fellowship with God. The world today stands in desperate need of this Gospel of Christ. Millions each year are dying in their sins. God has called me into the full—time Christian ministry for which I am deeply grateful. It is my great desire that through preaching and living the \Vord of God and administering the,sacraments I may be used of the Lord to win many from death unto life. JUan ToRGRiMSON. “His Grace 15 Sufficient” I am so thankful to God that He has called me by His grace to be a minister of the Gospel to a dying, sin-sick and captivated world, for the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation to every- one that bclieveth; it is the good news to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death; it is a healing to the broken-hearted and a liberation to those captivated by sin. To this great task I feel very insufﬁcient, but God’s Word promises me that His grace is sufﬁcient. To think of Him otherwise would be to make Him a liar, and this we must not do, for He is Almighty and therefore sufﬁcient. Our sufﬁciency therefore is from God. To look around is to be distressed; to look within is to be de— pressed; to look to Christ is to be blessed. ERNEST KASIN. NO CONFLICT Auggies of all ages and classes are welcomed at both the summer outings in August. Plans for the Alumni gath- ering will be found on page one of this Bulletin. Though all the details for the student sponsored outing, August 10, are not known as yet, the plans include a worship service before the noon meal and recreation program following. It is ex- pected that students who attended in 1946-47 will make up the bulk of the group August 10 while the former stu- dents will concentrate on the August 1 event. nuuabuotG CULLEGE ARCHIVES ALUMNI FUND GETS START John Aasen (99-00) of Mayville.

Show moreThe Ideal Lutheran College Graduate Dr. 0. H. Pannkoke in Anrgar Lutheran Mere prattle without practice is all his soldiership. ——Shakespeare. Genius for her highest vision looks To the world of men, not to the world of boo/u. NEITHER theory without practice nor book learning remote from life is adequate to describe the ideal Lutheran college graduate. "By their fruits ye shall know them”—so says Jesus. "Faith is a living, active, busy, mighty thing. It cannot help incessantly to do good"—so says Luther. The aim of a Lutheran college is to prepare young men and women to live their lives in accordance with the faith. Active service in life is the goal and the test of a Lutheran higher education. The important question is not, what does the Lu- theran college graduate know, but how will he play his part in the great spheres of life. Knowledge becomes a means to the greater end of living a Christian life. The Ideal Lutheran College Graduate: 1. Grows steadily in the faith. The emphasis is on growth. Luther says "faith is not an art which can be learned at once. I am an old doctor now. I have preached, written, read much about it and still I don't know it. . . . A Christian dare not be lazy and think he has everything. He must grow and increase." The great Christian faith which shall overcome the world becomes great only through years of struggle, temptation, and trial. The Ideal Lutheran College Graduate: 2. Takes an active part in the life of the church. Today any vague sentiment lifting one above the humdrum of everyday life is considered to be an expression of religion. It is not an adequate expression of the Christian’s religion, any more than was the communion with nature of Rosseau’s Sa- voyard Vicar. The Christian is a member of God's great spiri- tual fellowship—the body of Christ—of which the church visible is the outward manifestation. As a citizen of this great City of God it is just as unthinkable that he should shirk his duties of citizenship as it would be at this time for an Amer- ican citizen to be indiﬂerent to the travail of his homeland. The Ideal Lutheran College Graduate: 3. Is a worthy member of a Christian home. He is completely out of sympathy with the modern ideal of marriage and the home. Compounded out of an unholy union of Individualism and Hedonism this ideal holds that only the right to break a home is sacred, when the road becomes arduous or the Maytime fancies are chilled by the hard realities of October. The ideal Lutheran College Graduate holds to the age old and inspired wisdom of Ruth, "Entreat me not to leave thee . . . ‘the Lord do so to me, and more also if aught but death part thee and me." The Ideal Lutheran College Graduate: 4. Performs his vocation in life as a Christian. It is not enough for him to be an eﬁcient doctor, dentist, lawyer, teacher, business man. He needs to be a Christian doc- tor, dentist, lawyer, teacher, business man. If he takes his vocation seriously, he is at war with the great and fatal delusion of the modern world that the production and the amassing of wealth are a natural and not a moral activ- ity. This delusion has made exploitation, greed, and war the distinguishing characteristic of industrial nation. It has made a mockery of the doctrine of stewardship. Today an acquisitive society and a culture whose cardinal virtues are based on exploitation and greed have reached their logical climax, the survival of brute force, the triumph of the beast in man over the image of God, the proud humanism of the 19th century turned to bestialism in the 10th. If our Lutheran faith has any social mission for men in a dark hour without promise of dawn it lies chieﬂy in the faith- fulness with which its educated members will carry their moral convictions into secular life. The Ideal Lutheran CoUegeiGraduate: s. Performs his obligations as a Christian citizen. Government is a divine institution—in part to restrain wickedness—in part to confer on men the greatest temporal blessing, peace—above all to permit the free preaching of God’s grace. Our American government in its aims comes closest to the ideals of justice and equity which characterize God and it per- mits most freely the preaching of divine grace. In actual operation, the issue whether industrial wealth is private or social is threatening our democracy just as it has threatened and destroyed democracy in large sections of the globe. The obligations of citizenship are grave today. For the Chris- tian they originate in the will of God to establish justice and equity among men. A Lutheran college serves the church well in the measure that it imparts to its students the knowledge, the desires, and the abilities to measure up to these ideals. As soon as any Lutheran college takes this obligation seriously, it will ask itself searchineg and incessantly Spencer's famous question, "What knowledge is most worth?” Not once in a hundred years of American Lutheran college education has the college curriculum caught up with the dynamic sweep of life. It is being left farther behind than ever before as the “wave of the future" is whipped along by the hurricane of world revolution. .2. lunar-A _a_u<.o;» amazon—“ant- :ﬁum..ﬁ_-:L..- .t. -. t—_

Show moreAugsburg’s President Christensen assists Minnesota governor in preparation for graduation ceremonies. A class of 65 got degrees. Said the Governor: I am a strong believer in the church college and the important function it performs in our society. It is the oldest institution of higher learning in this na- tion. Our forefathers came to America in search of new opportunities to wor- ship God, to spealz their convictions, to live with the dignity of free men. They were convinced that Christian higher education was essential to the perpetua- tion of their cherished ideals and institu- tions. it I’- 3’! The education which merely makes people smart and clever in acquiring money, place and power but fails to touch their moral lives may be worse than no education at all. Never before has the important place which Christian education occupies in life of the nation been so apparent as it is today. I' It 3 Only by a greater social, civic, moral and spiritual literacy can we ever secure lasting peace, preserve liberty under the law, maintain respect for basic human rights, and protect the rights of minor— ities. Only by strengthening our spiritual resources can we create better living stendords at home and abroad; can we secure as much security as is consistent with freedom. Around the Campus The largest of the L.F.C. conference ever held decided last month (June) to go after another $200,000 this year in the congregations to ﬁnish building projects at Augsburg and Oak Grove in Fargo. The technique will be that of appealing for larger gifts from certain individuals ﬁrst. But the invitation is there for all to have a part. Success in this effort will mean that Augsburg will get its new Li- brary-Science Hall when building condi- tions permit. The campaign in the Minne- apolis community under Consultant Ber- dahl is designed to supplement this for Augsburg, so that the Sivertsen addition can be built too. Deans Gerda Mortensen and K. Berner Dahlcn found strong interest and en- thusiasm amongst fellow college-work- shoppers at the U. of M. when they as Augsburg representatives presented the Faculty Council plan, a new system for integrating the work at Augsburg to simplify and facilitate the educational machinery. The faculty considered this and other matters at a two-day work- shop of their own, July it and 12. Most of the "under-ground” activity for the new gym has been completed— foundations, etc. The walls are going up, also the smoke-stack. The thing begins to look huge . . . The old library has doubled in size through assimilation of one-half the old gym, part of the down- stairs hall, and the men's locker room. Estelle Brenden, '19, will be an added assistant to Miss Tangjord in her en- larged domain next year, besides doing graduate work at the U. of M. The "chem lab" also gained some ﬂoor space in assimilating the women's locker room. Work-men have been busy all sum- mer "pointing up" the brick walls of the main. The mortar had fallen out in many places, especially above some of the windows Irving Hoe], ’40, is the new supervisor of buildings and grounds, a position newly created by the Board. Business people of Minneapolis are going to get a splendid introduction to Augsburg, if they haven’t had it before, in the new brochure prepared by Con- sultant Berdahl, who incidentally will now be on full-time basis during the imminent ﬁnancial campaign in Minne- apolis. Filled with diagrams, maps, and tables the 3o-page booklet is a two-color job. Outstanding "spreads" are three aerial views showing Augsburg and the surrounding community, (1) at present; (a) when the buildings needed immedi— ately have been erected; and (3) when the 20-year plan will have been com- pleted. By that time the aim is to have besides the new Library-Science Hall the Sivertsen addition and present structures: (1) music hall, (2) chapel, (3) presi- dent's residence, (4) social science build— ing, (s) permanent auditorium-gym. (6) “commons” and men's dormitory. As a part of the whole layout, though not erected by the school, will be the combination book store and LFC oﬁce building on Riverside and 23rd Ave. Besides the money to be raised in the congregations another $225,000 must be secured for the present plan. This is the object of Mr. Berdahl‘s work. Other matters approved by the faculty in their work-shop were use of Saturday mornings for classes, and remedial classes in speech and English composition. The matter of compulsory chapel attendance has been considered and will probably be approved at a later meeting. In attendance at summer sessions this year are about 120 students, mostly vets. Next year’s enrollment will be kept at about the same level as last year's—about 725 for the regular semesters. Pastor G. A. Almquist, C. T. '14. and Mrs. Almquist were honored at a silver wedding anniversary at St. Lukes Church in Minneapolis, June 14. Pastor Almquist now serves the Sand Creek, Wis, parish of the L. F. C.

Show moreThe Christian and His Vocation (Chapel Talk Based on Luke 14:25-33) Christ makes it clear in this passage that becom- ing His disciple is not something that can be done thoughtlessly. It is not a decision to be taken on im- pulse or to which one can be carried on a strong tide of emotion. Christ wants those who accept the responsibilities of discipleship to do so with eyes open. He wants them to count the cost. Choice not based on such considerations can result only in disappoint- ment for the disciple as well as for the Master. Counting the cost of discipleship has become, all too often, a calculation of what one must give up— what amusements and what friends one can no longer have. But it should be clear from the parable that the cost is not merely what one must give up; it is even more what one must put in. Counting the cost of discipleship involves think- ing through its implications for one’s choice of voca- tion, and it is of vocation I want especially to speak today. For the Christian, the word "vocation" is appropriate; for his work must be a calling. A good friend of mine asked me the other day on what bases our teaching graduates seem to be considering teach- ing positions—whether opportunity for service ap- peared to be one of the considerations. I was com- pelled to answer that it looks as though salary, loca- tion, and train and bus connections are much more determining. Let me hasten to say that I realize that such a judgment is necessarily superﬁcial and to add that I recognize that such things as salary, location, and train connections are not considerations incom- patible with the consideration of opportunity for service. So let me ask you now—you who have a job, you who are looking for a job—how seriously are you asking yourself, "What good can I do on this job?” Some weeks ago a school superintendent who vis— ited my oﬁce spoke with some enthusiasm of an Augs- burg teacher who had once been a member of his staff. The Auggie in question was an athletic coach. The superintendent told me that he learned one day Prof. M. Quanboeh that the coach’s father-in-law had invited him into partnership with him in a ﬂourishing and well-estab- lished business. Much interested, he said to him, "Coach, why don't you take advantage of this opportunity? You’ll never be able to make as much in teaching." "You don’t understand,” said the coach. "Athletics is my life!" A little later, the superintendent dropped into the dressing room after basketball practice. There was the usual steamy atmosphere with the odors of vari- ous ointments, antiseptics, and perspiration. "I’m going to get out of here,’ tendent. "I can’t stand this smell.” said the superin- "I like it," said the coach, simply. Whatever he may lack, that man has a vocation. I hope that your work can mean as much to you. College appears to be the normal time for choos- ing a vocation. This is true even when the college work is not speciﬁcally a preparation for a vocation. Let me say parenthetically that I believe it should often be the case that a student in college is not tak- ing work that leads to a vocation—that there are many jobs in which the job itself offers the best vo— cational training. I want to emphasize the fact that college——a liberal arts college—has something to of- fer to future farmers, future politicians, future home- makers. And if you have as a goal any one of the vocations that do not normally require college train- ing, no one has a right to put on an incredulous look and ask, "Why are you here?”

Pastor Carlsen comes to his new posi- tion with s more than avenge under- standing of Augsburg. having been for some time a member of the board of trus- tees and also having done considerable re- search on the school in preparation for writing his book on the Lutheran Free Church. At Minot he started a fund for ﬁnancing the education at Augsburg of worthy students who needed help. Pastor Carlscn is vice-president of the Lutheran Free Church and has served on many councils and committees. including inter- synodical groups. IT WAS GOOD Over 300 were in attendance at the Alumni Srnérgbsbord June 2, and there was a general expression of de- lightednass over the whole business. Especially to be commended were the ladies who planned and worlted so hard to put it over. Another thanks to them all—through this channel. lilto- wisa to all who supplied food. etc. About $200 was realized for the new Alumni ollice furnishings fund. We still have in the Alumnl oﬂce a low unclaimed dishes. Call AT 5495 if you didn't get yours. - N. No doubt those of you now engaged in making vocational choices are doing two important things. You are ﬁnding out things about the job and you are ﬁnding out things about yourself in relation to it. These studies are indispensable. The ﬁrst involves discovering what the occupation requires of you, what opportunities it presents. I am thinking of the natural abilitia and the training that it takes; and when it comes to opportunities, let us try to think not only of salary and chances of advancement. but opportunities for service—service, that much-talked-about little-practiced ideal. I couldn't help but feel, as I sat at the seminary com- mencement last night. that the young men entering the ministry come a good deal closer to that ideal than most of us. There must, you see, be not only opportunities to get, but opportunities to give. The second question involves studying yourself— something that few of us do realistically. You must be able to face the fact that the picture of yourself in relation to a particular occupation may be un- favorable. The picture you make will have little meaning if it only pictures you as you would like to be. Students often say, "I know my record is bad, but I will do better next semester." Some students are incurable optimists as to what they will do in the future, but never "deliver the goods" in the present. So when you measure yourself, go to the record. Even ask others to help get the facts on yourself. It is therefore more fundamental to ask not, "What can a person like me get out of this occupation?" but. "What can a person like me put in?" I am of the impression that there are relatively few people who have the attitude revealed by the young man who said to me the other day. "I don't want to enter the ministry if I don't have the qualiﬁcations." To my mind. this statement shows that whatever else may be true of him, this young man does have one of the qualiﬁcations. To put this in another way, choosing a vocation also requires that you, like the builder of the tower and the king going to war, sit down to count the cost. But you must also determine whether you have the price to pay. Fiercest-mu Leda»: ARCHIVE)

Show moreAt the Home Base Though changes in the outward appear- ance of the Campus will be ﬁrst to oc- cupy the attention of returning students or visitors in the fall, a number of other developments, too, will be noticeable. Various ofﬁces have been shifted from the demolished west wing of Old Main to other locations in the building, two- thirds of which will be used at least until the new quarters are ready. The health center in West has been returned to Alpha ‘ House in Memorial Hall. Though changes in faculty will be less numerous than last year when there were so many additions, there still will be a number of new faces. New members will be as follows: J. Vernon Jensen, instruc- tor in speech and debate coach; Hugo Hartig, instructor in English; Estelle Brenden, assistant in the library (full time this year); Ivan Fagre, instructor in speech; Manivald Aldre, instructor in chemistry (Mr. Aldre is a refugee scholar from Estonia whose arrival in this country is still awaited). Pastor Erling Tungseth will teach Christianity in place of Pastor N. C. Anderson, whose Alumni and A. F. F. work will occupy him full-time next year. Prospects for a large enrollment this fall are very good, says Public Relations Director Pautz. About 800 should be in attendance. of which approximately 300 will be new students. The draft law will effect the attendance somewhat, but any student registered for 1948-49 is ex— empted from service until at least the completion of the school year. Those who enlisted in the National Guard may also in some cases transfer their registry to the Minneapolis area, according to the Public Relations oﬁce. Dorothy Quanbeck Johnson, '48, will replace Mrs. Joyce Olson in the Regis— trar's ofﬁce. Howard Sortland. ﬁrst year seminary student from Fargo, will be assistant to the dean of men and head resident in Memorial Hall for 1948-49. Rev. LOuis Smith, ’42, who served as assistant dean of men for the past ﬁfteen months, will take a pastorate this fall. He has been studying at the U. of Minn. in addition to his other duties. K. Berner Dahlen. dean of men, dur- ing the ﬁrst summer session at the U. of Minn. attended the workshop in higher education, which is one of the activities sponsored by the North Central Associa- tion Studies of Liberal Arts Colleges. The central theme this year was "The Im- provement of Instruction." Anne Pederson of the English depart- ment also attended the Workshop, study- ing particularly subject matter prepara- tion for future teachers. The summer school registration totalled 88, of whom 8 were women. The term will be completed August 12. Unless conditions change greatly, no session will be held next summer because of the taper- ing off of the demand. . . Jesse Christen- sen, ‘zg, who teaches at Blue Earth, was the assistant librarian during the summer session. Dr. Sverre Norborg, former teacher and now pastor of Norwegian Memorial Church in Chicago, was the chief speaker for the recent Norway Day celebration in Minneapolis. Two male quartettes gave splendid rep- resentation for Augsburg on their sum- mer tours. The Luther League sponsored group has ﬁnished their travels. Pastor Merton Strommen, Paul Paulson. Pastor Bernhard Bretheim and Kenneth Soren- son comprised this quartet, while the other was made up of John and Phil Quanbeck, Luther Bretheim and John Strom. The latter group is still travelling on the West Coast. Prof. Leland Sateren of the music de- partment was a lecturing member of the general workshop in music education at the U. of Minn. this summer. He pre- sented several of his recent choral pub- lications to the workshop. Pastor's Institute Dean E. E. Flack of the Hamma Div- inity School will be guest lecturer at the pastors’ summer institute August 3! to Septenlser 3. His lectures will be cen- tered about the theme: A Fresh approach to New Testament theology. Much emphasis will be given to evan- gelism, lectures being scheduled on Lu— theran evangelistic literature, the Bible basis of evangelism, a year of evangelism, and survey of evangelism in American Lutheran Churches. Rev. Elias Newman of the Zion Sodety will give two lectures on the Jews and their situation. A Tribute to Professor Carl Fosse "He being dead. yet speaketh." Heb. “:4. He came to Augsburg in [91) aa teach- er of chemistry and physics. a quiet, un- assuming man, always courteous. never putting himself forward. You did not learn to know him the ﬁrst day, nor the ﬁrst week or even the ﬁrst year. In fact. you had a feeling that you had never come to know him fully during the nine- teen years that he Idsored in his chosen ﬁeld. For every time that you came in a closer touch with him, you discovered new depths in his character. He was a true scientist. and also a true philosopher. About him it could be said what is told about a Danish professor of philosophy who once met an old farmer out in the country and engaged in a con- versation ‘with him. When they had chat- ted together for a while the farmer want- ed to know what was the occupation of the interesting stranger. His answer was: "I am trying to think God's thoughts after Him." Such a man was also Professor Posse. One could understand it from his chapel talks. from what little he wrote. from private conversations. and most of all from the help and guidance that he gave to his science students. The one thing uppermost in his mind was to try to think God's thoughts after Him, and to help young people to do the same. Professor Posse died in 1941, but he yet speaks through the inﬂuence which he exerted while living. Is there not a way by which we can cause this inﬂuence to go on and on to ever widening circles? —-Atmnus Hqumn. Seven Men Join Seminary Classes Seven men, possibly nine, will begin their studies in the seminary department next term. Four are meniaers of the June class. They are: Philip Quanbeck. Alton Knutson, Oliver Bergh, Jasper Swenson. Two are of the Class of 1947: Richard Torgerson and Norman Bakken. The seventh is a graduate of Concordia college of Moorland, Howard Sordand. Two others may enroll before the open- ingof theFall term. Anotherbeginning student on part-time basis is Henry Mayer of the American Lutheran Church.

More important even than the higher of- ﬁcers. they were the men who gave the gran~roota leadership in the army. They were responsible for ioo men eath. Upon their leadership rested the fate of Rome's ﬁghting forces. When the Greater Alumni Association carries out its drive to raise $at.ooo in i94l-49 for the Fosse Memorial. it. too. will have "Centurions" to spear-head the work. Together they will comprise a Century Club. Each one will. instead of leading ioo men. be responsible for rais- ing 8100. He will give it himself. or solicit others to supplement his own gift to make that total. If the Century Club is built up to a membership of no. the amount estimated to be necesaary for equipping the physics and chemistry labs as a memorial to Prof. liotae will be assured automatically. But since the total amount needed for all the labs will probably run close to $60,000. it is the hope of the Alumni Executive Committee that the set goal may be greatly exceeded. I n I the Fund will wear a pin to indicate their Centurions for Fosse Memorial part in the campaign. A dinner is to be held next spring. The campaign will run to September. i949. at which time it is hoped the building will have been com- pleted and furnished. A list of Centuri Club members will be presented in the next Bulletin. though nearly a score have been enlisted already. All interested are urged to communicate with the Alumni ofﬁce as soon as possible.

There were comments on every point—all favorable. with some strong and hearty words of encourage, ment. There was also an appended note ——a promise of Ho for the project. A day or two later the check was received. That. we thought. is the spirit we need We many Augsburg friends now. It's the spirit we'd like to cultivate further. espetially through the 'Lcntury Club."

Defeating St. Thomas and St. Olaf, their chief rivals for the pennant, on successive days in Nicollet Park. Coach Edor Nelson's boys gave further demonstration that a tradi- tion of baseball supremacy is being estab- lished in the school whose accomplish- ments in year's past, baseballieally speak- ing at least. were measured chiefly in terrm of the brilliance of certain in- dividuals, like Ernie Anderson and his .600 batting average, Coach "Red" Nel- son, himself. et al. Now it‘s Inns supre- macy that stands out. even though this year there were many outstanding feats by individuals, too. Captain "Red" Lind- gren pitched and batted like the champ- ion he is. Few will dispute that {or all- around ability in three sports Red has been the best-ever at Augsburg. Another "Red"-—Brennan, hit home- runs on successive days at Nicollet.
