Ingen anden norsk digter har som denne bondegut bedaaret sin samtid med det sate 0g fremmedartet skjyfnne. Der suser gjennem hans verker noget helt nyt og salsomt.” — —— “Denne gaatefulde skj¢nhet. som er poesi 0g ingenting og alt, har Hamsun baaret med ind i sit hjemlands dal. Like— som ingen har forundret os mere end han ved sin fremmedartede 0g saere kunst, har heller ingen bevaeget os saadan som han i sine skildrin- ger av hjemlandets natur. Der er et rystende hjerteslag i dem." “Gjen- nem Hamsuns skildringer b¢1ger hele vort folks ubevisste, men dype sorgfuldhet. en fgzilelsesrigdom der er norsk likesom den skog der bru- ser op fra faedrelandets jord." Man har sagt at Hamsun er sterkt paavirket av de russiske digtere. ismr Dostojenski. Tendensen til at kredse om det vovede 0g ukjendte. ~det dr¢mmende tungsind som karakteriserer Hamsuns b¢ker, viser ial- fald at der er sindsslegtskap mellem ham 0g slaverne. Derfor er ogsaa hans b¢ker saa populzere blandt disse folkeslag. Har tyskerne tilegnet sig Ibsen, saa har slaverne endmere tilegnet sig Hamsun. Hvad maai har Hamsun hat med sin digtning? Hvad har vzeret hans erende? hans mission? Han har vist ikke hat nogen mission. Han har ikke skrevet for at reformere samfundet eller den enkelte.

Med aarene er han blit mere 0g mere den rolige, tungsindige, mystiske personlighet som flygtet fra menneskene, men som allikevel kunde skildre dem med fin kunst.

See to it that when you leave your Alma Mater, it will be with a faith that will not fail you, it matters not how low the clouds are; with a hope that wili not desert you, it matters not where yours bark may drift; with a love, not only for yourself, immediate friends, and special interests, but with a love for all fellowmen. You are sailing from a friendly port; you are the captain of a noble ship; the waters before you are calm and peaceful, inviting you on. \Vhen the valiant Hector was about to go forth to battle with the wrathful and swiftfooted Achilles, he kissed his child, and, dancing him in his arms, prayed to all the heathen gods that in time to come, when the son should return victorious from his battles, men might be heard to say as he passed by, “Lo! how far the son excels the sire!” And shall we not, because of this class, in the same spirit, devoutly pray to—day to the one living God that the future of Augsburg Seminary may excel its past and its present, and in coming time men may be heard to say, “Lo! how doth the new excel the old l" "—Nor fear to breast the sea!

I see a world in progress. The mind of man is perfecting and enriching the aggregate of knowledge which has been handed down to him from the countless multitudes of previous ages. Man is evolving an order of government which. protects, more than any previous rule, the rights of the individual and of the nations against incursions. Innumerable and amazing inventions are doing away with the impediments which formerly have lain as an obstmction in the path of rapid and secure communication. Machinery is more and more taking the place of manual labor. Science is broaden— ing its scope of experimentation and discovery. The well-nigh impossible is being done.

Man is learning about the laws of nature, and so is coming to understand how to care for himself. The science of medicine is attaining a greater proficiency in taking care of the health of the people. Economists are beginning to solve the diffi- culties connected with the satisfaction of the wants of man. Socially, men of all walks of life are being put on an equal footing. Man is be- coming less of the beast and more of the spiritual likeness of the Maker. Animalistic desires and immoral tendencies are being checked. Man is gaining respect for himself, as well as a recognition of the rights in other human beings. All mankind is hearing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. the power of salvation to those who believe. The message of love and forgiveness is reaching to all peoples. Surely, things both great aml marvelous are taking place. But I see more than this. i see a world in need. liarth can be no l‘topia. for man's nature is. and ever will be. bad. I see a world where still there is much of ignorance and strife: a world where brute strength and criminal tendencies still hold sway. I see a world where jealousy and greed are rife; where man is trying to get the best of his neighbor; where one man covets the success of another. I see a world of self-A abandonment and freedom of the lower tendencies in man; where lust and animal passion are the ruling emotions; a world where purity of body and soul is disregarded. I see a world filled with sickness and suffering due to sin. I see a world where Christ is excluded and where the Gospel of peace is not accepted. Such are the realities of life. Now that we have completed our college course. we have reached a point in our lives when we are brought face to face with these reali- ties. We have succeeded in climbing to the heights from which we can look forward and see some of the things which we may meet with in our journey thru life. Let us always have our eyes fixed on the things that are to come, as Longfellow says: “Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait.” \Ve have reached a place where we have the option of choosing be— tween the greater and the lesser walks of life. We have been brought to see the exceedingly great needs of the future. But we are also able to see that there are great possibilities for bettering conditions in the world.

All institutions of higher learning in the Twin City are represented in the Twin City Band, except such which for denominational or other reasons do not have any connection with the Student Volunteer Move- ment. The following schools were represented at the meeting at Augsburg: Minnesota University, Macalester College, Bethel Academy and Theol- ogical Seminary, and Augsburg Seminary. All the students of Augsburg had been invited to the meeting, and many availed themselves of the opportunity. Professor Ratevera, a native of Madagascar, was the principal speaker of the evening. He emphasized the necessity of giving the heatth the gospel. Civilization and education avail nothing if the heart is unregenerated. Professor Ratevera's speech was not lengthy, but it was a strong plea for the non-Christian peoples. Besides this, a fine musical program was rendered. The “Volunteers” of Augsburg, ably assisted by some young ladies, had provided a tasty refreshment of which all were invited to partake. It is needless to say that all did justice to the coffee, the sandwiches, and the cake. We welcome the Twin City Band back to Augsburg again. Show less

The -sun withdrew and would not look upon the horrible crime that was being perpetrated. Even God Himself seemed to have receded, but the men who committed the vile act had no feeling of remorse. The crucified Christ was refused a drop of water from the earth, a ray of sunshine from heaven. The cup of divine displeasure was filled to him without mixture. He was alone, fighting the legions of dark- ness to save the people who were crucifying Him. Even God, His own father. smote Him. “It pleased the Lord to do this. He determined to do it; it was the result of an eternal counsel; and He delighted in it, as it was an effectual method for the salvation of man and tne securing and advancing of the honor of God." Let us stop a few moments and consider the importance of this terrific struggle. It was not a battle for the supremacy of world power, nor was it merely a contest between two mighty forces for certain pos- sessions. It was infinitely more. It was a death struggle in which the “Son of Man" ventured His all, even His place as the second person in the Trinity. It was a struggle upon the outcome of which depended the destinies, not only of the people of that day, but of unborn millions. Had jesus lost this mighty battle. we should all be in utter darkness, devoid of hope for time or eternity. If the Son of Man had been con- quered in this His last and greatest struggle against the power of dark- ness. there would to—day be no glad tidings to bring to the millions of troubled souls. lut the Savior of man had gone into the struggle to win. and win lie must. even tho every animate and inanimate thing stood up against Him. Darkness reigned over the world during this time, yet to the believer there must have been a ray of hope. Even thru the mist there must have been visible upon the mount of Calvary, a cross, silhouetted agains the blue dome of heaven, and upon this cross the hope of the human race, battling against the evil forces. It was a terrible time of darkness. Even the disciples of Christ seemed lost. Light was, however. soon to reap— pear. VVhen Jesus said these wonderful words, “It is finished,” the elements reacted so violently that “the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake; and the rocks were rent; and the tombs were opened." Light was again to shed its rays upon this earth The powers of darkness had been overcome and the dawn of a new day was soon to appear, a day glowing with bright— Show less

This magazine stands alone among modern literary periodi- cals. It is an aristocrat among current publications. Its style is invari- ably correct and dignified, and the quality of its contents is unquestioned: Let us hope that our students may appreciate the value of this reading material. College men will not neglect this scholarly magazine. In the April issue we find several contributions which are of interest. Lord Dunsany, in his usual mystical vein. tells the story of a fight be— tween the dwarfs and the demigods. He has called it “A Pretty Quar- rel”, and, indeed, he has given it a well—deserved name. In the same volume there is an article by Frank E. Spaulding. former Superintendent of the Minneapolis Public Schools. which bears the title “Educating the Nation". Mr. Spaulding views our educational system in the light of present day conditions and finds it inadequate. He outlines a national educational program and advocates the formation of a Department of Education in the national government. There are many worth—while stories and articles in the current issue. a. During the War the common people were introduced to'the mysteries of the Financial Market thru the Liberty Loans. As never before. the man of limited means took an interest in the Stock and Bond market. This may prove to be but a passing acquaintance, if the present rate of disposal continues. In any case, it' is well for us all to understand the methods and problems of the intricate financial system of our country. Several books dealing with this subject may be found in the Library, in the shelf containing books on Economics. We recommend one of the volumes as an instructive. yet interesting book. William C. Van Antwerp, in his “Stock Exchange from Within”, explains in a popular style the various phases of the financial problems. The book is written so that any Academy student can read it with profit. WE ARE GROWING OLD. \\'e are growing old fast these days. In the old days. when folks took time to live, youth was a matter of years. Now it is little more than the passing of a day. Time was. when people enjoyed living during the day. Our age is busy working eight hours each day in order that it may enjoy itself for a few hours in the evening. The evening hours do more toward breaking down the character and ideals of American youth than eight hours of sleep and eight hours of labor can repair. Show less

Seldom is such an appeal heard as the petition which the venerable Bishop brought before the Throne that evening. In his words was contained the spirit of triumph of fifty years of strife and labor. But his words were tempered by a note of the sweet humility of man in the presence of God. We were reminded of the noble words of Kipling: “The tumult and the shouting dies— The captains and the kings depart—- Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice, An humble and a contrite heart. Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget—lest we forget." AUGSBURG’S THREE NEEDS. By Oscar M. Mehns, ’16. “The first hundred years are the hardest,” we used to say in the army. In .speaking of schools we can well say, “The first fifty years are the hardest,” for if a school can continue for half a century, it has shown that it has the confidence of the people and the backing of its alumni. Augsburg to—day is stronger than ever before. In the first place. 'it is out of debt. This shows that the congregations of the Lutheran Free Church are backing Augsburg financially. In the second place, Augs- burg has a faculty that is efficient and is putting its best efforts into the work; and Augsburg has a President that is progressive and imbued with the spirit (if the age in which we are living. In the third place. Augsburg has a student body that is conscientious, and interested in the deeper problems of life and in their solution. And finally, the quality of work done is such that the State Departments of Education in Minnesota, North Dakota, and other states give Augsburg graduates the same grade Teacher’s Certificate as graduates of other standard colleges are receiving. There is a great demand for Augsburg graduates as high school teachers, and every year more calls are received than can be filled. In the graduate schools of the above-named state institutions Augsburg graduates are admitted into the graduate department in Eng- lish, Education, and Chemistry, without any trouble whatever. These are some of the things that are making Augsburg great, but Show less

These young boys have been under the direction of Harry Anderson and they showed that they had accomplished much in the short time they had been under his directorship. The Club sang “America My Country", “Absent”, “Cros- sing the Bar", and the immortal “Chinese March”. The Glee Club made a flying trip to Howard Lake on March 23 and took part in a concert given by the Choral Club of that town. The main number of the concert was “The Holy City” by Gaul. The Club helped out on the bass and tenor parts of that cantata. Besides this the Club sang several songs. The program was to have been in the English language. but there were two exceptions. The Club sang one song in the Norwegian language (Den store hvite flok). and one in Chinese(?) (The Chinese March). Miss Ragna Nydahl sang the solo in “Den store hvite flok". The Club is very thankful to the people of Howard Lake for the hospitable reception shown them. The trip to Howard Lake is one which will long be remembered. l The Band may not be able to make its proposed tour this spring. The final examinations in our school work will be near at hand at the time the Band should have gone, and for that reason many of the boys do not feel inclined to make the tour. The annual Glee Club tour has been arranged. It will start the 12 and continue until the 24 of april. Concerts will be given at several towns in western Minnesota and eastern North Dakota. Prof. Hen- drickson will accompany us as speaker and as soloist. “We claim that about the busiest person in the world is a woman who has discovered a pimple on her face."—Holcad.

The Son of Man stepped forth glorious as a victor, a redeemer from sin. A new era was come. The spiritual horizon was aglow with a new light. A way was opened to the Father—house, “a new and living way." The cross held forth the rays of God’s love inviting sinners to come with their burdens. Millions have heeded the invitation and have experienced the joy of having their sins rolled away. Even to-day the cross of Christ stands forth inviting you and me. The darkness of the world is intense. yet with a little faith we may still see the cr0ss of Christ, “towering o'er the wrecks of time,” inviting us to come with our burdens. There is no greater comfort than to come to the cross. “May all our souls embrace it with an ecstasy of affection! Lay hold of that cr05s, O dying sinners! Everything else will fail you. \Vithout a strong grip of that. you perish. Put your hand on that. and you are safe. tho the world swing from beneath your feet." L. O. MUSICAL TRAINING HAS A VALUE. We sometimes hear it said, that a course in music is less difficult than a regular college course. To those who neither appreciate the value of a thoro course in music, nor understand how much laboring effort is necessary to the acquirement of musical training, I offer a few thoughts upon the subject. I was struck. at a meeting of an association of college graduates, by the remark of one of its members, who declared that, after all, her music was of more practical value to her than any of her college studies. Rather a striking remark. but, nevertheless. there is a reason for it. It has been wisely said that, “Music is the most purely creative of all arts.” The musical artist seems to create something that has life. Where does it come from, and where does it go? It is easy enough to say that the vocal cords. or the strings of an instrument produce harmonious sounds, but only such infinite variety in sound? Why is it that each voice has its own peculiar characteristics? Why is it that each player makes his own performance upon a mere mechanical contrivance, the piano, for instance? It is the wonderful power of personality that goes into music and makes it different from all the other arts. And this power of personality can only find its expression thro skillful mastery of technical details. Only as the result of such a mastery can there fe freedom in the expres- Show less

Augsburg ought to be moved to the suburbs of Minneapolis where a large tract of land can be secured for a campus. Modern buildings can be erected and with modern build- ings and a new campus Augsburg can lay aside some of the traditions which have hindered its progress. It may be that it will not be wise to immediately move all three departments (Academy, College, and Theol- ogical) because of financial reasons, but the Academy can be moved first and in a few years the College and Theological Departments can be moved. The present location is too cramped. too near the railroad yards, and too much in the heart of the city to make for the quiet and ennobling atmosphere which should surround an institution of higher learning. One tradition which has so greatly hindered Augsburg’s growth is the stand taken against coeducation. Fifty years ago, when Augsburg was founded, the educational opportunities for women were very limited and coeducation in institutions of higher learning was a new experi- ment. But to—day all our state universities and colleges in the west have coeducation. And why shouldn’t Augsburg? What argument is there lgainst it? Are the young men and women of the Lutheran Free Church 60 different from other young men and women that they need a special system of education? Or is it because we have allowed a few fossilized stand-patters to domineer our Annual Meetings and allowed them to squelch all sentiment in favor of coeducation? I am very much afraid that the latter is true, for the returns from the questionnaires sent out to the alumni by the special committee on coeducation show that the sentiment among the Augsburg alumni is overwhelmingly in favor of coeducation at Augsburg. At the next annual meeting of the Lutheran Free Church this question is bound to be brought up, and it is up to every one who has the welfare of Augsburg at heart to come out squarely for coeducation. The world moves and Augsburg must move with it. Besides moving Augsburg to a more suitable location and adopting meducation we need one more thing to make a Greater Augsburg and that is Loyalty. We need more loyalty to Augsburg, more loyalty to the professors, and more loyalty to one another. We need “more push and less pull” as one expressed it on his questionnaire. We need more co- operation and less individualism. We need more boosting and less back- bitinz, We need more honest and hearty appreciation and less fault- main. Show less

Men inde ved hjerteroten har ormen gnavet ct stort hul, 0g sjaelen graater, den er syk. Nu syncs det at vaere umulig at holde op. Man kaster sten paa sten, traeffer sikkert, hver sten gj¢r sit ¢delzeggelsesverk Og snart segner byttet til jorden, saaret til d¢den. Disse var store stene som ofte draeper sit bytte. Men der er ogsaa mindre stene som er lette at kaste, 0g syncs ikke at tilf¢ie den trufne nogen varig mén. Dog ogsaa disse er farlige, de er som en langsomt draepende gift.
