Last year the. season was charac- terized by a somewhat slow start and a ﬁnish good enou h to place the Au s in third place hind liamline an: St. Thomas. During the present season the Auggies started slowly. losing four out of their ﬁrst eight ames. The losses. however. were to rat class teams such as Wheaton of Illinois and Luther College. Prog- nosticators have the Auggies wind- ing up the present season as sole r of third place in the MlAC to complete the pattern started last year. Neither Coach Anderson nor the players. however, would shed a tear should they upset the dopesters. As a matter of fact the only pattern they are interested in is the pattern of winning basketball which they in- tend to pursue in attaining an even better standing than last year. Cur- rently they are sharing second place in the MlAC with a veteran St. Mary's team and the surprising Gus- tiea with a three win, one loss rec- ord. So far this year the bulk of the work has been done by a nucleus of nine players each owning a generous share of the scoring honors. (See statistics on page 8.) One of the big guns in the. well i ' balanced Au gie offense is Don liei- mer who lea s the ﬁeld with an aver age of 12.7 points per game for the season. Virgil Gehring, freshman center from Waseca. is second with In 11.5 per game average. Gehring's conference average is 14.3 ranking him eleventh in Minnesota intercol- legiate Athletic Conference scoring. Reimer with a 13.8 per conference A ‘ Change This Date on Your Calendar . . The Augsburg-Concordia game will be pla yed at Moorhead March 5 instead of February 17 as originally scheduled. i game average ranks 12th in the M1- AC. The other seven players who have seen most action are Bruce Johnson. Laurie Balzer. Jim Kot- tom. Dave llagert. Richard Martin- son. Jerry Davis. and Donald lick- buff. l‘lruce Johnson. who began his col- lcgc basketball career at Augsburg last year. is continuing in excellent form. Famous for his one-handed push shot from the side-stripe Bruce’s per game average is 9.9 almost a point better than he averaged last year. Laurie Balzer. the squad's best playmaker. is still thrilling crowds with his sensational ﬂoor play and has a 7.9 per game average. lie is also a sophomore. The most rugged player on the squad is Jim Kottom. a junior. who is one of the squad's best defensive men. Dave "Hatchet" l'lagcrt. another defense expert. has shown this year that he can also hit the hoop from his guard position. Dave is. perhaps. the most improved player on the squad and has either started or seen a good deal of action in all of the games played to date. Enjoying a comeback is Richard “Marty” Martinson. who was a ﬁrst- stringer two years ago but found himself in the background after last year's influx of freshman talent. Mar- ty has shown a good deal of improve- ment and in ten games has averaged almost ﬁve points per game. Jerry Davis. who Contracted polio about the time of his high school graduation, has been playing "ii" team ball for the last two years and now appears to have regained his coordination sufficiently to play yar- sity ball. He has improved a great deal and at present is doing an ex- cellent job as reserve center. A freshman last year, Don Ecli- hofi played "B" team ball but now ﬁnds himself seeing action regularly. A guard. he has played in six of the ten games played to date. Some. of the highlights of the sea- son include a successful defense of Augsburg's Wartburg Tournament Championship, and. in conference play. the shellacking of Concordia, St. Olaf, and St. John's. AUGSBURG COLLEGE- ARCHIVES Although the Auggies were defend- ing champions at the Wartburg Tour- nament this year. the three other participating schools had counted the loss of Ron Lund. Ernie llone. liogcr licaman. Bob Swanell. and Richard Jones enough to permit de- throning. in the ﬁrst round. how- ever. Augsburg drew host Wartburg and defeated them 57-55 in a thriller. Luther College. meanwhile. defeat. ed Augustana of Rock Island 60- 5‘). As a result the Auggies found themselves facing a team in the ﬁ- nals which had beaten them twice during earlier pre-season play. The two previous losses to Luther had been by scores of 62-52 and 56-47. in the championship game that fol- lowed. the Auggies administered a Til-1‘) shcllacking to the Norsemcn and won their second consecutive Wartburg championship as four Augsburg men hit the double column in scoring. Freshman Virgil Cchring led the pack with 17 points hitting 3 out of 10 ﬁeld goal attempts. Don Reimer had 13 points while Dick Martinson and Laurie Balzer each garnered 12 points. The game was won in the second half after the Auggies had held a narrow 25- 24 lead at half-time. in conference play the Auggies got off to a good start by dumping Concordia 74-50 in the Minneapolis Armory. Don Reilner with 15 points and Dick Martinson and Jim Kot- lom with 12 points each were the heroes. in the following game against Gustavus the Auggics found them- selves in their worst slump in two seasons. With everything going wrong they dropped the game 67-57. The slump almost cost them another game when they met St. Olaf but (Continued on page 8‘ rﬂooooooooooooo’ooooo-“ ., i i : identiﬁcation of Basketball horn, : : reading clockwise, beginning with num- t bar 20: Virgil Gahring, Jerry Davis. : Laurie Ialxar.

New Jersey. January 7 to 10. At the NLEC Dr. Christensen pre- sented a paper on the subject. “Ways of Developing the Spiritual Life of College Students." Some of the phases of college life stressed in the paper were the following: the chapel serv- ice. the general spirit of the instruc- tional program. the social and extra- curricular program. courses in Chris- tianity. the work of the college pas- tor. and the program of voluntary religious activities. “The most important single fac- tor in the religious program of the college." said Dr. Christensen, "is a group of consecrated faculty mem- bers li\ing in deep fellowship with God and anxious both to win stu- dents to the Christian life and to deepen their life in Christ. A second factor. of almost equal importance. is a strong nucleus of spiritual mind- ed students. themselves growing in the Christian life and exercising an effective influence upon the whole campus community." At the Convention of the Associa- tion of American Colleges the main subject of discussion was the prob- lem of the relationship of college enrollments to the national defense effort. A comprehensive and strong "Declaration on Manpower" was adopted by the Convention and a committee elected to make represen- tations to the Department of Defense and to Congress. Already. as a re- sult of these actions. the way has been opened for many students to remain in college throughout the current year. Every effort will he made by the Association representa- tives to inﬂuence the enactment of a program which will serve both the highest interests of the nation through carrying forward their education to as high a level as possible. This is a crisis period for all the colleges and we can expect the Alum- ni and friends of each institution to rally round it in loyal support to meet the grave problems confront- ing it.

Augsburg Foundation Report The Augsburg Foundation, a new emphasis on the A.F.F.. has been in effect now since about De- cember 8. I950. The responses have been coming in quite regularly, but there is room for many many more. Letters and pamphlets have been sent to all the members of Augs- burg's Greater Alumni Association and friends who have belonged to the A.F.F. The Foundation will be a continuous project of our Greater Alumni Association for years to come. New members will be added year after year. If you haven't al- ready sent in your pledge card. do so as soon as possible. The minimum pledge is only $10.00 per year pay- able in just about any way you de- sire—monthly, quarterly. or yearly. The income derived from the Foun- dation goes directly toward the oper- ating cost of Augsburg College. Augsburg needs your help now and this is one way in which you can make it possible for your school to assure a continuous Christian de- velopment of our youth through edu- cation. So, former Auggies. let us stop for a while and consider the values that a Christian College— most of all, your school, has to offer our children and our friends' chil. dren when they enroll in the future. The total pledges and cash that you have sent in to the Augsburg Foundation up through january 23 is $696. Our ﬁscal year ends june 30. Send in your pledge card now.

Johnsomeach collected 12 points and Laurie Balzer hit 10. After their ﬁrst four conference games the Auggies had a thriller against non-conference opposition. Traveling to Carleton they had trail- ed almost the entire game when. with less than a minute to go. Jim Kottom sank a ﬁeld goal which tied up the game. Then with only twenty seconds remaining Jerry Davis drew a foul which he thereupon converted winning the game 57-50. In the i r remaining conference games the Auggies face the tough- est conference opposition. Hamline, St. Mary‘s. Gustavus. Duluth, Con- cordia. St. Thomas, and Macalester, any one capable of providing an cxceedingly busy evening, are on the schedule. Fortunately. however, ﬁve of the remaining games are at the Minneapolis Armory with only three on foreign courts. Especially pleasing is the fact that Augsburg will not this year face St. Mary’s Augsburg Bulletin—THREE IS on the Redmens court not will they be obliged to face St. Thomas at O'Shaughnessy Field Home. Two games with Hamline are in- cluded on the basketball menu and needless to say a good many minds entertain the delicious thought of upsetting l’lutton’s mighty basketball machine. Last year the Auggies came within four points of doing it. los- ing 45-41. This year they have the udyantagc of a return game at the Armory.

There are many ways in which the Alumni of any col- lege help their Alma Mater. One of the most pronounced ways is by donating gifts of money. We all agree that there is something deﬁnitely concrete about this method. In some ways this may be the most im- portant type of contributing. However, in addition to giv- ing money through the Augs- burg Foundation, do you real- ize that you can do other things? Of these the most im- portant is talk i n g to your friends about Augsburg. con- stantly keeping in mind that there may be some prospective college student who may come to Augsburg because of your inﬂuence. We have people as- signed to the job here on cam- pus, but that alone isn’t enough. A few people cannot begin to cover the ground that a large group of Alumni can. Remember that by saying a few words for your school, you may be instrumental in bring- ing someone here. If you know of anyone who may be inter- ested, send their name to the Public Relations ofﬁce, in addi- tion to talking to them. 1 'oovooooo’o'OOOCOOOvo’ovo'cocooovo’00"0'toto'0',ooooooovwovoooo'o.o"'.ovo"v'ooo The Bulletin of WW WWW SW 8th St. and 21“ Ave. S.

Show more"So Teach Us to Number Our Days . . ." ERNEST G. LARSON President, Board of Trustees, Augsburg College and Seminary Among the many striking mottos inscribed on the walls of the Library of Congress in Washington is one which reads, “Art is long. and time is ﬂeeting.” The implication is that anyone who would master an art has no time to waste, but had better be up and doing. Life is at best so short that he who would accomplish some- thing really worthwhile will need to devote himself to his task with every bit of his strength and talent. The beginning of a new year is always a reminder of the fact that time is passing. Sometimes we are startled by the all-too-rapid recurrence of birthdays, anniversar- ies. and New Years! A year. or several years, seems to slip away so quickly that we begin to wonder if we can hope to accomplish many of the things we dreamed of doing. Merely lamenting the passing of time, however, can end in nothing but frustration. We ought rather to be ﬁlled with a sense of the urgency of using every moment at our disp0sal for the purpose of accomplishing something of lasting value. The prayer of the psalmist, "So teach us to number our days that we may get us a heart of wisdom.” expresses a need which is common to tvery one of us. Those of us who have been away from Augsburg for some years may look back upon the years we have spent in our chosen ﬁelds of work with mixed feelings. Expe- rience has taught us that more careful preparations for our work would have paid good dividends in higher efﬁciency and greater eHectiveness in our work. So it is with some regret that we reﬂect on any opportunity which we might have had in our school days for more thorough preparations. the value of which we did not appreciate at that time. Likewise. the memory of lost opportunities in the years which have passed brings remorse to our hearts. Yet to grieve over these will avail us nothing. No good can come of merely brooding over past failures. As the years pass we come to see that the things which are of real and lasting \alue are those which have to do with the spiritual side of life. It is therefore impor- tant to us that we employ our talents and time for the development of human values rather than seeking only the things which satisfy the temporal ambitions of life. It is gratifying to know that so many Augsburg grad- uates have entered work in which they have opportunity to serve others and cultivate an appreciation for the spiritual things. This is what gives permanent value to the work that many of you are doing even at great personal sacrifice. As you see others entering work which may be far more remunerative than yours. be not dis- couraged. The person who can inspire youth to live for the things which count for eternity, and help older people to see the value of things eternal may be doing a better job of living than he who gathers great fortunes of this world’s goods but fails to build up his heavenly treasures. Here again the Scriptural words apply, “Be not weary in well doing, always abounding in the Lord for your labors are not in vain in the Lord." This greeting goes out from Augsburg to you who are working in many different ﬁelds. We ask you again to think of these intangible values in life and devote your- selves to the unﬁnished task of seeking first God’s right- eousness and His Kingdom. We like to think that wher- ever you are we may all be united in the one common cause of building up the spiritual life of our people. Some may do this directly by teaching people the way. Others may do it somewhat indirectly by their support of the work which is being done by teachers, pastors and missionaries. Or they may be employed in some kind of service for their fellowmen which will inspire others to more noble and worthwhile living. But all may have some part in it. Your personal example and witness will count either for or against the Kingdom. Let us now unite our hearts in a New Year’s resolu- tion that this year we are all going to do things which will count for the records of eternity! Augsburg needs your prayer and support too if the work here shall be done most effectively. The Lord has sct before us an open door. We can only hope that all our friends will see the opportunity and take a vital in- terest in this work. It is our conviction that the building of new buildings, the on-going work of teaching, the daily use of public prayer and testimony, the constant challenging of students and faculty to attain high stand- ards of academic work, all of which is the familiar pat- tern of life at Augsburg, is essentially the task which God gives. It is through such efforts that hundreds of young people have been influenced and inspired for use- ful living. There are several ways in which you may continue to have a part in the work of Augsburg. You may be able to direct students to her doors. You may be able to give gifts of money which will be needed, or encourage friends to do so. And you can undergird the work here with your goodwill and intercessory prayer. Thus every one of us has both the opportunity and the responsibility of sharing in this work. “So teach us to number our days that we may get us a heart of wisdom!” AUGSBURG BULLETIN Published bi-monthly and one additional issue in April by Augsburg College and Theological Seminary at Minneapolis, Minnesota.

It has been pointed out that business and indus- try are the largest beneﬁciaries of colleges, both in the. manpower pro- duced for them and in the higher standards of living encouraged which open up new demands for their prod. ucts and services. Therefore a part- nership whereby industry assists the colleges in training personnel for in- dustry is of mutual benefit. The Minnesota plan features the slogan "A Proposal for Partnership". The colleges turn out trained men and women. the industries turn out commercial products. Already a part- nership has actually been created. (Continued on page 8) AUGDBURG COLLEGE ARCHIVES

Their program is greatly varied, con- taining some favorite chorals from turies and also one of the very latest compositions by Mr. Sateren. The audiences will again enjoy the beau- tiful simplicity of the Twenty-third Psalm with Beverly Jacobson as the soloist and the great favorite among Scandinavian people, “Tenk Naar Engang”, the solo being sung by Rog- er Nelson. 0f the numbers which are new to the Choir this year, “The Sun Has Gone Down” will be the most familiar.

Here’s the story of the winter activities of one football coach when the shoulder pads and helmets are tucked away for the season. For Augsburg Football Coach Edor Nelson it’s a matter of turning his thoughts from the gridiron to the basketball court. Edor demonstrates his coaching versatility by coaching the Augsburg "B" squad throughout the winter. The record of the "Bombers" shows three wins and two losses for the season. Edor states that there are a number of men on his squad who will probably see varsity action in their sophomore and iunior years at Augsburg. Individuals who have s arked the "Bomber" cause this season and are expected to see varsity action next season inclu e: Robert Larson, 5’ ll“ freshman from Moorhead, Minnesota and a graduate of Oak Grove Seminary; Bruce Leonard, 6’ 4" freshman center from Minneapolis Miller Vocational High School; Johann Swensen, freshman forward, a graduate of Owatonna High School; Don Eveland, freshman forward from Backus, Minnesota; and Phillip Gronseth, 5' ll” freshman guard from Minneapolis Washburn. Edor Nelson states that the purpose of the "B" squad is to prepare players for varsity action and points out that four of his last year‘s "Bomber" charges are regulars on this year’s varsity squad. A PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE LESLIE F. BRANDT Acts 20:24—“But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may accomplish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to tes- tify to the gospel of the grace of God.” What a philosophy! According to Paul, the value of life consisted not in the things a man possesses, or in how much one can get for himself, but in the degree that God’s purpose can be accomplished through it. It was with this philosophy that Paul met every crisis and difficult circum- stance that came his way. Even though it meant false accusations, beatings, imprisonment, and even death, he found such a philosophy to be adequate. What a contrast to the shoddy, shabby, insipid display that masquer- ades under the name of Christianity in our land today! In other lands men meet the crisis with a testimony, a vision, with conviction and cour- age, with the true Spirit of Christ. Thousands are dying faithful to the Name and to their witness of Christ Jesus. But comfortable, fun-loving America has apparently produced no crisis to prove the mettle of modern man. The hour of crisis may well come to our land as well. We had better check on our philosophy of life; is it adequate? Unless it is of the caliber of that manifested by Paul, it will vanish life chaff in a great wind. The moment a man dedicates his life to the service of the King, and puts himself under the control of Christ, then no matter what the hour of crisis, or how distressing and disturb- ing the circumstances, all things be- gin to fall into order and work to- ward the accomplishment of God’s purpose. Enlist totally in the Life and Purpose of Christ, then your philosophy will be adequate for any crisis the future may bring forth. I 5 .

Show moreProposal for Partnership (Cont) The M i n n e s o t 8 colleges have worked out a plan whereby the presi- dents of the 14 institutions involved provide not only what might be termed an executive committee but also the actual functioning organiza- tion. In groups of two they have vis- ited the executives of the industries assigned to them and have explained how the independent colleges are forced to look beyond the usual sources of ﬁnancial support which no longer can carry the whole load if the colleges are to continue to pro- vide opportunities comparable to thOse offered in the past. The Minnesota Association is seek- ing 3.250.000.00 this year. Funds col- lected which are not designated for any individual college are divided as follows: 50 per cent equally among all the colleges and the remaining 50 per cent proportionately on a stuv dent population basis. All of the colleges in Minnesota not supported by taxes are a part of this cooperative effort. This cam- paign is the ﬁrst in which all private colleges in any state have united in a fund campaign. The fourteen institu- tions making up the new Minnesota ' C(‘llege Fund Association are: Augs- burg. Carleton. Concordia, Gustavus Adolphus. Hamline. Macalester. St. Benedict’s. St. Catherine’s. St. John’s. St. Marys, St. Olaf. St. Scholastica. St. Teresa. and St. Thomas. Much success is not only hoped for but anticipated in these joint money-raising programs. Leaders of business and industry are in a posi- tion to show real foresight and vi- sion by helping to keep these private institutions strong and independent, thus relieving the burden of a heav- ier taxation and preserving the Amer- ican ideal of freedom. (This article was rewritten from “Partnerships for Producing Money” by Kenyon S. Campbell, Ohio State University, published in the ACC News, January, 1952.) A. Q. ANSWERS l.

You are if you were ever en- rolled as a student at Augsburg whether you graduated or not. If you never attended Augsburg you can become an honorary member. 3. The G.A.A. is the connecting link between the college and the many who are no longer in the stu- dent body “to promote the interests of Augsburg and to establish mutu- 71lly" ben‘eﬁ'c‘l'al' ’relatioi‘is‘ between the school and its alumni”. 4. The executive committee is made up of a president, vice presi- dent, secretary. treasurer. and two directors. The following alumni hold these respective offices: Henry Bert- ness. ’47; Clair Strommen. ’46: Esther Anne, ’41; Lester Johnson, ’39; Gerald Person, ’39; and Paul Roth, ’49.

Show more,4 Emu on W ﬂcmdc'tcm'an By DR. MARTIN QUANBECK Dean 0/ the College Dr. Martin Quanbeck Those who are interested in Augsburg and her prog- ress naturally want to see their college accredited. Ac- creditation is of various types. ln some states the de- partment of education does not have such a function, but it does approve colleges for the educating of teach- ers, issuing certiﬁcates to the graduates of these approved institutions when these students have completed the courses required by the institutions. Augsburg has long enjoyed such accreditation. A second type of accreditation is the recognition of work done by students in the college by other institu- tions. This appears in particular in the evaluation of these credits when students transfer. The attitude of the state university is usually especially important. Colleges and universities in other states tend to treat students from smaller colleges—particularly those lacking accreditation by regional associations—as they are treated by the state university. Augsburg has for many years been able to send its students and graduates to the University of Minnesota without any loss of credit in courses appropriate to the ﬁeld to which they transfer. Until last year, however, grad- uates were not automatically accepted by the university graduate school unless they had maintained a B aver- age at Augsburg. Last year the university accorded Augsburg the same full recognition granted the other colleges in the state. Because of the favorable attitude of the University of Minnesota, credits of Augsburg stu- dents and graduates have generally been freely accepted by universities and colleges in other states. Usually it has been sufficient to call to the attention of those insti- tutions the attitude of the University of Minnesota. A third type of accreditation, regarded as most de- sirable because it is so generally accepted by all insti- tutions and agencies as the mark of quality, is member- ship in a regional accrediting association. In this area this organization is the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, an association with high standards for membership. Because of certain limitations, particularly in buildings and equipment, Augsburg did not apply for membership in this association until the fall of 1949. The following spring, after the stall at Augsburg had provided a great amount of information about the institution and after a visit by an examining committee, the application was rejected. It makes little difference that the margin of rejection was small. The report of the committee revealed a number of weaknesses, many of which the Augsburg faculty and administration had already recognized. All of them served as the basis for study and improvement. These included library facilities and use, faculty training and experience, faculty salaries, certain records and reports, aids to faculty growth. health and some other personnel services. The Augsburg staff worked for two years, mak- ing considerable improvements in all these and some other areas, with the intention of re-applying this fall, but, during the past year the North Central Association made an important change in its method of evaluation which makes necessary a comprehensive self-survey of the institution prior to the filing of an application for membership. The effect for Augsburg is to delay the application for another year. The survey, begun this fall, is being carried out by the faculty organized into thir- teen committees and touches all functions and services of the college. The study is to be completed this spring and, if accepted, will permit a new application in the fall of 1953. Action by the North Central’s Board of Review will then take place in March, 1954.

Show moreAUGSBURG ALUMNI Under the direction of Miss Alma M. Jensen, the de artment of sociol- ogy at Augsburg as been cooperat- ing with the Population Reference Bureau, a non-profit organization of Washin on, D. C., in an annual sur- vey of a birth rates of college grad— uates. These studies now show that the birth rates of both men and wom- en college graduates have steadily in- creased without any exception from the class of 1936 to the class of 1940. The “College Study” which is un— der the direction of Dr. Clarence .l. Gamble and Mrs. Betty U. Kibbee, shows that men graduates of the class of 1940 who are now celebrating their tenth annual college reunion can boast of families 37 per cent larger than could their brother grad- uates of the class of 1936 when they celebrated their tenth reunion. The increase of size of family among women graduates for the class of 1940 was 21 per cent over their sis- ters in 1936. These figures are in a reement with a re rt published by the Bureau of the gnsus in 1948 which showed that between 1940 and 1947 the repro- ductive rate of women college grad- uates increased 81 per cent, com- pared to an increase of 52 per cent for high school graduates and 28 r cent for grade school graduates. While the percentage increases in the birth rates of college graduates in the two types of studies are not en- tirely comparable, both studies are in agreement and indicate a very sub- stantial increase in the birth rates of colic graduates during the last ten to fi een years. However. these recent studies should not be interpreted as meaning that college graduates are now hav- ing lar er families than their less educa sisters. As late as 1947 wom- en with only a grade school educa- tion had reproduction rates 48 to 78 per cent higher than needed for re- placement while college graduates fell 5 per cent 'short of reproducing themselves. Five years of study of the classes of 1936 through 1940 ten years after graduation, covering 925 college classes, reveal an average of 1.29 children per alumna. The review of the class of 1940 which has COOPERATE IN' COLLEGE "STORK STUDY" just been completed found the alumni from Hillsdale College, Mich- igan, with an average of 2.31 children each the winners among the men. Utah's tradition of large families showed itself again through the slum- nae of Brigham Young University who averaged 2:03 babies. the hi h- est among the women of 1940. The Bureau finds that the birth rate is considerably higher among graduates of co-educational and western col- leges. Western and midwestern col- leges maintain relatively higher rates than the more urban eastern institu- tions. Strikingly small in contrast are the families of most eastern and southern colleges. 1n the survey conducted by Miss Jensen, the Augsburg classes of 1928 and 1943 were polled. 1n the forms that follow it is evident that the grad- uates of Augsburg show the same general trend in increase of birth rate as is indicated in the national survey.

A Tribute When I read in the Augsburg Bul- letin for May that Professor P. A. Sveeggen was retiring from the fac- ulty, it brought back to me many pleasant memories of my close asso- ciation with him since 1915. He was my professor in English in my senior year. Since then I al- ways visit with him whenevcr I come to the Augsburg campus and many times I have been a guest in the gracious home of Professor and Mrs. Sveeggen. Professor Sveeggen gave unstint- ingly of his time and efforts to Augs- burg students. He stressed the impor- tance of correct English along with the high idealism and Christian prin- ciples that he always emphasized. All who have been in his classes have been enriched by his teachings. His idealism was contagious. He pointed out the beautiful and worth- while in literature and in daily liv- ing. He left a mark on his students that inspired them throughout life. Mrs. Sveeggen provided a gracious- ness, charm, and kindly atmosphere in her home so that it was a delight to be a guest there. She was always friendly and interested in what the students and graduates were doing. The Sveeggens have made a con- tribution to Augsburg that will be remembered with gratitude by the thousands of students whose lives are richer and fuller because of having known them. As we think of Professor Sveeg- gen and the other outstanding pro- fessors that have guided the youth at Augsburg, we can truly say: “There were giants in the earth in those days.” OSCAR MYKING MEHUS, ’16. Spiritual Emphasis March 2-6 The Reverend Conrad Thompson, Director of Evangelism in the Evan- gelical Lutheran Church, is the speak- er for Spiritual Emphasis Week at Augsburg beginning March 2. Theme for the special services held each eve- ning at 7:00 pm. is “God’s People Go to College.” Daily chapel mes- sages will carry out the theme as well. Jerome Trelstad. Religious Direco tod of the Student Council, has been chairman of the planning committee.
