W e come with our individual anticipations and expectations; we come with a thirst and eager- ness for knowledge. With eager anticipation we become involved with the tools of the col- lege furnished for our development. Buildings, the physical institutions for learning; books, the explanatory and exploratory aspects; professors, those who explain and challenge us; fellow students, who are using the same tools and who are seeking the same truths. The finished product of the education process, however, must be found in the ideas which we derive from our years spent in learningflideas, which are a heritage, a responsibility, and the ultimate tool of all life.

Show moreDean of College Working quietly behind the scenes of Augsburg College is Dr. Martin Quanbeck, Dean of the college. He is known for his friendly interest in the students and is respected and admired for it. Dean Quanbeck is responsible for the academic program of the college and exercises general supervision over all phases of student life. Recruitment of college students as well as working with Dr. Christen- sen concerning appointment of faculty members is a part of his job. “’in. .. If—lrd L‘rits Dean of Students One of Dean Peter Armacost’s main functions is that of aiding students to find and use the resources of the college to the best ad- vantage. As head of the student personnel services he has responsibility for assignment of students to faculty counselors; initiation and approval of student loans, grants-in-aid, and scholarships; and services of general orientation. Both Dean Armacost and Dean Mor- tenson are in charge of assigning students to residence halls, approv- ing off-campus housing, disciplinary decisions and personal records. Dean Armacost came to Augsburg two years ago and is presently working on his Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota. Dean of Women As Dean of Women, Miss Mortenson keeps her fingers on the pulse of student activities. Her lively interest and vast knowledge of student affairs makes her a valuable resource person to organizations and groups on campus. A knotty, perpetual problem which Miss Mortenson faces is the scheduling of activities on the college calendar. She also works with house councils, student counselors and directors in addition to doing personal counseling. She is. an inspiration to the women on campus in her dedicated life and Christian example. ‘ ‘~ 9’: ‘-q., 47 . _IAI IR,‘.4‘MW "A; an“- it}? i i r‘ .A...‘ w 7.- ‘- Show less

No more squabbling over who gets to Use the gym. The men will no longer pull rank over the women. We have three gym floors now. No more searching for some place to hold social functions. convoca- tions, and other activities. Plenty of room in the new gym. For twenty-six years Augsburg teams have been playing at the Armory. Now, the echoes of an Augsburg cheer resounding from the rafters of our new gym will be an inspiration to our team. During the transition from the old to the new gym physical education activities were held at Pillsbury Citizens Service, and at the reconverted National Tea. Ralph Kersten Show less

He, Mrs. Parker, and Miss Leer a _; have expressed the feeling that it is important to give as i much service and help as they can to the students. Auto- mation has come to the library, and the personal help of the library staff can overcome the impersonal feeling one may get. Mr. Ozolins received his master’s degree in library science from the University this year. Miss Leer, assistant librarian, is also furthering her studies at the University. Miss Tangjerd, former librarian, after taking special training in archives work has begun to reorganize the Augsburg ’3 t Archives. A comer of the second floor of the library has been con- verted into a devotional reading space. The comfortable chairs, the easy atmOSphere, and the devotional books were made possible by a fund given in memory of Rev. Charles A. Crouch.

Therefore, the English Department has the unique problem, and privilege, of dealing with all students and attempting to create both an in- terest and an appreciation of literature. Requirements for English credits were radically changed this year, and each student is now required to take three semes- ters of English instead of the previous two required. Several new courses such as Modern Fiction and Modern Drama were added to the course outline, and several new faces were added to the faculty. Among the activities of the English Department this year were several conferences, some of which included both student and faculty participation. \ll>$ :\nuc l’ederson Dr. Gerald 'I'hm‘sou.

These and more significant ques- tions can he answered in history and government classes. The older we get the more we realize the application of history for our modern times. Dry facts of history are not pertinent to our lives, but the interpretation and active use of these facts by our able teachers lends an adequate historical perspective to the events of our lives. Among the history staff is Mr. Gisselquist, who is teaching only part time this year and working for his Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota. Dr. Carl Chrislock Nels horde Hr. Bernhardt Kleven.

Dr. Joel Tors- tenson, as head of the department, shows a sincere interest in his students and their attempts to understand the group pro- cesses in life and to become a constructive part of society. The students in Mr. Swenson’s classes agree that his experi- ence as a probation officer adds greatly to the discussions in criminology. A new addition to the staff this year was Mrs. Belgum, who is teaching the more practical aspects of social work. As a part of the requirement for her class, each student must participate in group work at a Settlement House. Dean Knudsen is another recent addition to the faculty.
