Fordi jog har tro for Den Lutherske Fri- kirkes fremtidige arbeide, hvis den kan holde frem i de gamle spor som en gang er lagt, baade i skolearbeidet og menighetsarbeidet, idet den ma- ter vor programsyke sleg‘t med en hel evangelie— forkyndelse om synd 0g naade, — 0g i sine kirke- huse byr fnlket ikke underholdning, men sjaele- f¢de, -— og staar pea hellig vakt mot den overfla- diskhet 0g verdslighet som med tidsaanden vil snike sig ind overalt. 3. 0g endelig fordi jeg har syn for Augs- burgs vzeldige opgave, 0g tror at Den Lutherske Frikirkes fremtid i f¢rste raekke vil avhaenge av denne skoles stilling. Skolevaasenet liar den allerst¢rste betydning for ethvert samfund, ogsaa et statssamfund. Nazst efter hjemmene er der ingen faktor som er saa vigtig naar det gjzelder dannelsen av den frem- tidige stat som skolene. Som skolene er vil hele aamfundet bli. Den aand som der raader, vil snart beherske hele landet. I klassevzerelsene dannes fremtidens borgere. Likedan i et kirkesamfund. Allermest naar det gjaelder ens presteskole, hvor de unge maend dannes som snarl: skal staa som kirkens ledere 0g menighetens sjieles¢rgere og avl¢se den gamle slegt. Vil den gamle slegt ha bevaret noget av den gamle aand, saa staa vakt om skolene. En stor del av sin bedste ungdomstid er de unge mend her under sine lzereres indflydelse. Her laegges i sin almindelighet de linjer som man i fremtiden vii arbeide efter. Her lagres det fortaad man se- nere ska] ¢se av; her dannes fremtidens kirke. 0g endnu mer end de kundskaper man her erhverver sig, betyr den aand man blir grepet av. 0g noget av det samme gjelder vore h¢iskoler og colleges. Tsenk bare pan hvad de unge blir bevaret for ved at gas paa en kristelig skole. Tanker man over hvad der i vore dage dooeres ved flere verdslige skoler 0g den and som der mder, vil troende foreldre takke sin Gud for at de har et sted at sende sin ungdom, hvor de vet at de ikke blir utsat for antikristelig paavirkning. Men ikke bare dette negative. Ogaaa positivt bu kristeJige skoler sin allerstflmte betydning. Bud vil det ikke si for en ung mud og kvindei otteaaravsinungdomstidatgaapaaenskole som daglig smiles om Guds ord..— en skole hvis maal det er at bringe de unge ind i bevisst 0g av- gjort liv med Gud, — hvis lzerere i undervisnin- gen 0;; paa tomandshaand forsaker at hjzelpe de unge frem til livets kilde. Nei — vi har ikke raad til at miste vore skoler, Da mister vi et av vore bedste arbeidsmidler. Vi maa heller slaa ring om dem 0g baere dem frem i b¢n, interesse, og gaver. Jeg har to ¢nsker for Augsburg, hvor jeg har hat den glzede at were laerer dette aar. 1. At Augsburg maa utdanne dygtige mamd til arbeide i Guds rike blandt vort folk her i Ame— rika. Jeg tzenker nu saerlig paa den teologiske avdeling, som jo altid har vaeret 0g fremdeles bar were den vigtigste del av skolen. Var tid traenger vel utdannede prester, —— mend med alsidig al- mendannelse, saa man ikke ska] risikere at staa paa et lavere nivaa end sit menighetafolk; men f¢rst 0g fremst mzend med dypt kiendskap til sin bibel 0g den lutherske tare, saa man kan m¢te den religi¢se forvirring i tiden, med solid veiled— ning ut fra Guds 0rd. Jeg ¢nsker de unge studen- ter den kundskap som ydmyger — ikke opblzeser, det hellige enfold som alene kan vise vei ind til visdommen i Gud, den som er skjult for verdens vise og forstandige og aabenbaret for de umyn- dige. 2‘ Et andet ¢nske hat jeg for Augsburg, — et ¢nske som jeg szetter over alt andet naar det gjzelder vor skole: At Augsburg maa vaere et rum- delig kraftcentrum i det norske Amerika, — en skole hvis f¢rste 0g sidste maal er dette: sjslene! En skole hvor hver eneste laerer 0g student har bevisstheten om at skolens dypeste og egentlige hensigt er Guds rike, — en skole hvor alt usundt 0g forstyrrende maa vike for det ene forn¢dne, — en skole som staar paa vakt mot tidsaandens gift- gas. Med andre 0rd: at Augsburg altid vil were err Imuelig skole, 0g det mere end I navnet. 0g netop her har vi grund 1) til at takke. Takke for hvad Augsburg har bede i (la 60 at den har bestaat, — 0g takke for at vi endnu har en skole som Augsburg hvor der stadig samles en stor flok unge til faelles ban og til arbeide blandt sine uomvendte kamerater, — 0g takke for at denne flok denne vinter er blit ¢ket, idet fiere unge har begyndt at s¢ke Gud. 2) Men her her vi og- saa grund til at sfaa paa hellig vakt mot alt som vil forstyrre 0g ¢delaegge; at vi for fremtiden ma- ha den same and 0g kraft som faedrene her hat.

Show moreThose men whose work we look upon as the foundation and the origin of the Lutheran Free Church—from a human and immediately histori- cal viewpoint—Professors Georg Sverdrup and Sven Oftedal, also were ardent supporters of home mission work. Professor Sverdrup was at one time secretary of the home mission committee, as it was called at that time. Since then, profes- sors at Augsburg have at various times been afl‘i- liated with home mission work in our church, Prof. E. P. Harbo who was for many years presi- dent of the Board of Home Missions, and Prof. Helland who has written books and pamphlets about home missions. It was of utmost importance for a new church body in this country that home mission work should be commenced and carried on with the greatest possible speed. N o doubt this was under- stood by the early leaders. When at the present time it appears as though there must have been a tendency to make haste slowly in this respect, it must not be forgotten that there were other mat- ters that craved attention; and a new, small, and financially embarrassed church could not do everything to its liking; it had to deal with the 'means at hand. and could not always do what it wished to do. However, it is difficult to avoid the impression, that had more stress been laid on home missions from the beginning, we would to- day have been in better shape to meet present obligations and responsibilities. Be that as it may, history shows nevertheless. that home missions were by no means neglected, but made quite a little headway in the early years, especially in the rural sections. It is not possible in this brief sketch to give a history of home missions in the Lutheran Free Church. Neither is it required. Attention may be called to just a few more things. Home mission work is needed for the exten- sion of the kingdom of God in this land. In this country where all Christian work is voluntary and must be done by private, that is to say, un- ofiicial and non-public initiative, it is incumbent upon Christian men and women in the Christian congregations already existing, to see to it that this work is done. America must be christianized by free and voluntary efi'orts, if christianized it shall be. There is no law in the land compelling the spread of Christianity; there is no executive federal or state department entrusted with the task of giving the gospel of Christ to the Amer- ican people. Hence, if America is to become a Christian na- tion, the Christian people must, under God and his Christ and his Spirit do the work. The Govern- ment does not hinder the Christian forces in this JUBlLEE BULliETlN 7 work; on the contrary, it encourages them to take hold and carry on. As far as the Government is concerned there is a wide open door everywhere. For this we are grateful; and we wish to make all possible use of the opportunity. But in this great umlcrtaking——aml this is the next point that should be emphasizedAcntirc re- liance could not he had on lay workers. In fact, the main reliance must be made on trained lead» ers. Immediately the need for schools presents itself. It must be considered a safe assertion that without schools, like Augsburg Seminary, primar- ily, and Oak Grove Seminary, secondarily, home mission work would well-nigh be an impossibility. Home mission must have pastors, the best that can be had. The work is often very difficult. It makes demands upon the lalmrcr’s every particle of spiritual insight as well as intellectual ingen- uity. and even physical endurance. It demands sacrifice, patience, love. But it pays. A school of the right sort, such as we have in both our in- stitutions. is in position, granted the necessary means, to educate the right kind of workers. Then again, the schools need home missions. In the first place, they need the influx that this kind of extension work provides. Many students have come to our schools from the newly opened home mission fields. And, conversely, when a young man is through with the prescribed course of studies, and ready to enter the ministry, were it not for the oppor- tunities for work offered him on the home mission fields, he would perhaps for a long time look in vain for a chance to begin. Or, as is frequently the case, when a home mission field requires espe- cially the labors of an experienced pastor, the vacancy thus resulting, presents to the young man the chance for which he is waiting. Here, then, is the interdependence between the schools and the home mission. There are, obviously, other points of contact. And there is of necessity a continued inter-rela- tionship: Home missions must look to the schools for fit workers; the schools need the material aid, the spiritual sympathy and support, the sincere discernment and understanding of all laborers on the home mission fields. Helping the schools to gain a surer material footing is indirectly to help home missions: To help home missions with material assistance in order that its work may be done as far as material aid goes—and it goes a long way—is also indi- rectly to help the schools. Such a relationship, borne and furthered by prayer, will eventually work together for the good of all our activities. H. C. Carnal“. Show less

For this reason I may perhaps be allowed to give a personal testi- mony with regard to the spiritual atmosphere of the school. In no school year since I came here have we had so many concrete instances of the power of the Spirit of God. Our whole student body seems to have been stirred. The singing in chapel, the spirit of the prayer meetings — in short, the general atmosphere gives one the feel- ing that God is not only near, but is a living reality in the hearts of many. The gospel meet- ings which were held in November have borne fruit. Several students have been converted, and I feel sure that many more will take a definite stand for Christ. Many things have changed at Augsburg in the course of time. The school is trying in a good sense to keep up with the times and to meet the changing requirements of life, but the Spirit that wrought in the time of the fathers is still active among us, and his fruits are evident. This, in a general way, is the impression I have of the spiritual life that exists among our students today, and I feel sure that all who have in any way been exposed to the “Augsburg spirit” this year will agree with me. What, then, are the outward manifestations of this spiritual interest? There are, first, the prayer meetings. We have them three evenings at week. Monday’s and Friday’s prayer meetings are held in each of the dormitories. On Wednesday evenings we have a union prayer meeting, where large numbers take part in prayer, scripture reading, and testi- mony. The ardor and enthusiasm evident at these meetings indicate the power of God's Spirit in the hearts of the students. Considerable practical missionary work is car- ried on by the Christian students. One meeting a week is conducted in each of the two Lutheran homes, Wartburg Hospice and Luther House. About twelve young men have organized a “Per- sonal Workers” group and have charge on var- ious occasions at the Gateway Gospel Mission. At least one new Sunday School has been or- ganized by students, namely at Oak Knoll, a few miles outside the city. This place needs a church. Several families have become interested to the extent of sending their children to our Sunday School. We have a confirmation class of ten mem- bers there now, with good prospects for even a larger class. We are planning to turn this work over to Rev. Adrian Olson, pastor of Homewood church, who has taken charge of the confirms» tion class. In this way the work will receive at- tention also through the summer vacation. There is also a mission study group, which meets regularly to discuss and study conditions on the mission fields. Their aim is to keep the cause of misions before the student body and the churches with which they come in contact. Finally, many students teach Sunday School classes, sing in church choirs, preach or endeavor in other ways to further the Kingdom. In proportion to the number enrolled, the Augsburg students are this year doing consider- able practical spiritual work, and they are doing it with an energy and enthusiasm seldom sur- passed.

'l‘heir \‘isit to Norway was the first of its kind and created con- siderable interest. On its travels in the interest of temperance and prohibition the quartet became instrumental in creating enthusiasm for music and singing among the young people in the congregations as well as in the temperance societies, and choirs were started in many places where chorus sing- ing had been unknown before. This led further to the organization of the Norwegian Lutheran Choral Union in 1892. In a short time over 70 choirs joined this association and some very suc— cessful “sangerfests” were held. These meetings were very inspirational and did a great deal to encourage choral singing in the Lutheran churches in the West. BULLETIN Tin-1 AUGsm’RG GLEE CLUB A male octet was organized by Professor H. N, llendricksnn in 1900. Three years later this was enlarged and became known as the Augsburg (ilee Club, which immediately became the leading musical organization at school, a position which it has since retained. To “make” the Glee Club was considered an honor, hence it has always com- manded the best vocal talent in school and has generally done creditable work. Since 1915 it has made annual tours throughout the Northwest, al~ In 1929 its tour ex- tended to the Pacific Coast, where it aroused much enthusiasm and rewind fine support.

THE Acosnunc Gun: CLUB, 1930 Our Brethren In Canada and Our Schools HE Jubilee Campaign for our schools needs the hearty support of our Free Church peo— ple in Canada in order to succeed. Christian work must recognize no artificial borders, and Chris- tian need should be universal in its appeal. Christ’s love and vision encompassed the world. The church that he founded was not intended to be merely local but universal. This broadness of view the early Christians had caught, and so we find Jerusalem sending the gospel to Macedonia, and Macedonia in turn ministering to the needs of the saints at Jerusalem. This was one of the fairest fruits that grew out of spiritual unity—— the only unity that really counts in Christian work. The Lutheran Free Church has not been un- mindful of our people who settled in Canada. Our churches in the "States" sent liberally both money and men to minister to the spiritual needs of the many who sought “The world of prairie, the world of plain, The world of promise, and hope, and gain.” During a period of 36 years 40 ministers. trained in Augsburg Seminary at an approximate cost of $80,000, have gone forth with the homo stead seekers into the dense forests and broad prairies of Western Canada, in order that the settlers might not be without the guidance of the gospel of Christ. The records also show that they have played an important part in colonizing the Western Provinces. In 1894 the Reverend C. T. Saugstad led a band of home seekers to British Columbia and Show less

But in order to bring this about. it was necessary to create a new hymnology, which both in text and music was suited to the revived church. So well was this difficult task performed, that the Lutheran church above most others be- came a singing church. School and home as well as house of worship rang with sacred song. As a Lutheran institution Augsburg has been true also in this respect to the best traditions of our church;——it has fostered interest in song. How Augsburg has contributed to this phase of spiritual and cultural life in the past will be very briefly sketched in the following. Prior to 1873 little information about musical been rendered from time to time, besides a mul- titude of smaller pieees of which Scandinavian and German music literature has so rich :1 store.

In that year Rev. Ole Paulson is mentioned as having instruct- ed the students in singing. THE AUGSBURG CHORUS In 1877 Oliver Larson, organist in the Swedish Augustana Church in Minneapolis, was engaged as instructor in music. He was a trained musi— cian from Sweden, where he had been a leader of student choruses. His high musical standing may be inferred from the fact that he was invited to act as accompanist for Christina Nilsson at her historic concert in the old Coliseum. Larson or- ganized and developed a very good male chorus of Augsburg students and established a high standard of choral singing, which remained a po- tent influence in the musical life of the school. Since that day choral singing has been the chief form of musical activity at Augsburg. Most of the outstanding choral works for male voices have diate vicinity. Vocally this quartet was unusually strong, and it made a lasting impression on the thousands who heard them. It was the temperance movement in the eight- ies which inspired the organization of the Augs. burg quartet in 1888. It was made up of Profes- sor Theo. S. Reimestad, first tenor and leader, J. L. Nydahl. second tenor, Frants Norman, first bass, and Martin Havdal, second bass. All were ardent advocates of temperance and prohibition. The singing drew large audiences, and between the songs temperance talks were given by the members of the quartet or by other speakers. It was a veritable crusade in oratory and song to wrest the holy places, the church and the home. from the grasp of the infidel saloon. During the summer vacations of 1888, 1890, 1892, and 1894, the quartet toured Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa. South Dakota, and North Dakota. In 1895 it made a tour to Nor- Show less

Too many seem to follow the principle that if there is anything left after the other wants are satisfied. they will give a little. The Lord has to be satisfied with the leavings. Is that Christian? Is that going to bring God’s blessing upon us? The ancient Jews knew better than to bring the lame and the halt to the atlar. They must bring the first fruit and the 'best. To do anything less was to invite a curse in- stead of a blessing. When will Christians learn this lesson? We have met with some disappointments, but we refuse to be discouraged, for we have had some experiences that have strengthened our faith.

One of the oldest living graduates sends his check for $100, saying, “It is a great pleasure to me to be able—~if only in a small measure—to express my gratitude for what I have received from old Augsburg.” The younger generation is also showing the right kind of interest. Our young people and the children in Sunday schools have responded be- yond expectation.

At the re- quest of the editors of this bulletin the following is attempted. It is not difficult to find material for a presen- tation of this sort. However, a bare sketch, neces- sarily brief and not at all complete, must suffice to show the connection. When the Lutheran Free Church began its work some thirty odd years ago, the first step was to secure the needed support for our theological seminary. This is obvious. No church body could exist for any length of time, work up and main- tain a certain degree of prestige, without schools. In all enterprises there must be leaders. The leaders must be well informed; they must be dis- ciplined; trained. Else they could not lead. This training is done in schools of the right sort. Ex- ceptionally, in “the university of hard knox," but generally, in established institutions of learning. Show less

Show more4 JUBILEE BULLETIN colonized Bella Coola, organizing the Augsburg Norwegian Lutheran congregation at Hagens- borg, June 9, 1895, with 75 members. The Reverend E. M. Hanson travelled 3000 miles thru Saskatchewan and Alberta in the sum- mer of 1900, with the Reverend A. G. Lee, and reached Banfl', the Rocky Mountain Park of Ca- nada, preaching as they went to early settlers. Among other places they called at Wetaskiwin and Edmonton, Alberta, preaching the gospel for the first time in the Norwegian language at Strathcona, now South Edmonton. The story of this missionary tour of the two Augsburgians printed in “Folkebladet” in the autumn of 1900 proved to be an “eye opener" to many who were thus informed about the possibilities of the Cana- . diurWeet andimeonsequenee came to seek a home here. Today there are 40 Lutheran Free Church Congregations in Canada served by 9 pastors, with an aggregate membership and adherents of no less than 5000. The moral and material asset of this "salt of the earth" is incalculable. CANADIAN YOUTHS ATTEND OUR SCHOOLS Western Canada has felt the blessings of our church schools especially, for their graduates fol- lowed closely the tide of Norwegian immigration, both from Norway and from the United States. The Prairie Provinces watched thousands of Norwegian immigrants forming settlements in the country while other thousands took up work in the cities and mining centres. Among these, hundreds looked to Augsburg Seminary and Oak Grove Seminary in more than one way. Some looked for ministers and teachers while others looked to them for a Christian education for their boys and girls. There have been nineteen students in the College Department at Augsburg for the last five years who have come from Canada and five in the Theological Department during the same period. Girls from Canada have received high school education at Oak Grove and have re- turned to Canada and here entered upon a broader sphere of service either as teachers or as house- wives. THE Noam AIM or OUR Scnoons The Augsburg Seminary and the Oak Grove Seminary owe their existence to the determina- tion of their founders that the young men and women making up their student body should lack none of the educational advantages of students in secular schools, but should in addition have the great advantage of an impartial, unbiased Chris- tian view of life, and as far as it may be said to be humanly possible, a true Christian experience as well. To be more accurate: to educate ministers, missionaries, teachers, church workers, honest, broadminded, capable and well-informed citizens of any State, Province or Country where they might choose to go after school days. WHY Cnunenas MUST SUPPORT THE SCHOOLS In this noble aim lie both the strength and the weakness of such institutions. They cannot be self-supporting in the accepted meaning Of the term—unless, of course, a substantial Endowment Fund be placed at their disposal. Such a Fund is nowin the‘process of being accumulated so far as Augsburg is concerned. But it is yet way below the needs. Meanwhile, if the cost of operation should be charged up entirely to the students, the cost of attendance would be so high that very, very few young men and women among us would be rich enough to pay tuition and other fees the first month of attendance. The difference between the tuition charges and other incomes from students (the tuition now is $75.00 a season) and operation costs must be made up by voluntary contributions. When such contributions do not keep step with running ex- penses, necessary development and expansions (always decided upon by the annual meeting of the Church), upkeep, standardization of courses, and present high cost of everything (always fixed by forces that our schools cannot control) debt is the inevitable outcome. Although debt is in some cases better than death, it must now be said with emphasis and frankness: debt accumulating on Christian schools is detrimental to their reputa- tion and service, un-Christian in spirit and fact, and with known facts before us, in this case un- necessary and unjustifiable any longer. Our Free Church people in Canada have shown their appreciation for what was done by support- ing our general work in the past. They have given to our missions and to our schools. They have met our emissaries with the utmost cordiality. They have sent a number of their young people to be educated in Augsburg Seminary and Oak Grove. Surely. our brethren in Canada will not fail us now in our effort to make these institutions financially solvent and educationally efllcient. AUGSBURG CC LLECE ARCHIVES Show less

Show moreI do know that the Lord is not served by a denial of His ability to supply what is necessary for the future of Augsburg. I do know that the Lord is not served by shoddy schol- arship, by mediocre education, by poor performance of duty, by disregard for people or by a substitute of piety for disciplined effort. I do know that so-called Christian colleges are not in- dispensable and that His kingdom is not dependent on schools like Augsburg. The church has gotten along with- out colleges and universities before — it can do so again. Our existence, as with all human institutions, is ambig- uous and not absolute, a fact that will keep us humble. I do know that a college can serve the world on behalf of the church and be its emissary and cutting edge in the field of education. I do know that some of us have a vocation to serve in the area of education, and we treat this call as a respon— sibility first of all to our Lord. I do know that education is important for the future of individuals and society. but it must be education which recognizes its limitations and does not make claims re- served only for God Himself. Futhermore, I know that ed- ucation should include a place for that Gospel which alone sets men free to learn, to serve and to love. Such convictions provide the basis for our boldness to ask without apology for help from every quarter to assure Augsburg College's survival with significance in its second century. ’7 , l 7 Zuzé/{k Oscar A. Anderson President --\\ l-i‘\ l-j .ll 5| St‘RA'l't lllil) 'I‘lll-T sl Rlfi\( on M '\'\l lllt not t\ m \\ oi lill .ttt llltv A brief review of the four years I have been at Augs- burg rellects the fact that these have been exciting years of significant change and grovvth. 'l‘hc full-time equivalent faculty. including full-time faculty and the full-time equiv- alent of those teaching part-time. has increased from 83 in I965 to 95 last year. During the same period the full-- time equivalent student enrollment increased from lool to l786. Through the faculty leave program and other professional encouragements. we have been able to in- crease the proportion of full-time faculty holding an earned doctorate to the current level of 35"}. Average faculty compensation has also increased markedly during this four—year period. In 1968—69 it was “0.508. The rate ol improvement continues to be higher than the national average. A number of academic programs have been added. and all of them significantly strengthened. contributing meaningfully to the breadth of educational possibilities open to our students. The above statistics. while interesting and perhaps even important, do not rellect the really exciting changes that have taken place in the academic program during these four years. in the fall of I966, for example, the college changed from the traditional two-semester calendar to a modified quarter system. The most significant aspect of that change has been a reduction in the number of courses a student takes at any one time, from live or six under the semester system to three or four under the current calendar. Improved student performance has resulted from the change. Further calendar and curriculum changes lor con- tinued improvement are being studied. In the summer of 1968 Augsburg added a summer scs~ sion. six weeks in length, to enable students to pick up courses which for some reason they could not take during the regular academic year. The session was expanded to nine weeks during the summer of 19m) and a similar pro- gram is anticipated for next summer. Enrollments have been very encouraging and it seems likely that a regular summer session vvill remain a part of the college erL'rant Even the above changes, however. do not really rcllect the much more fundamental changes novv taking place in the American educational scene.

The expansion of the center staff and its programs will provide the main thrust for the continued development of personnel services at Augusburg College as an honest attempt is made to provide student development specialists who will work to establish a climate of learning and living that is compatible with and supportive of a free Christian college.

Show moreneeds funds from friends who have had no historical con- nection with the college. like Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Urness who made the Urness Tower possible. We need funds from the business community. through the Minnesota Private (‘ollcge l'und, and specifically to Augsburg for capital pur- poses as was the case in our Augsburg ('entennial Building l'und, We need support from individuals in the churches of the community whom we must interest in Augsburg even though we cannot solicit congregations for direct appropri- ations. We need foundation support comparable to the $75000 grant received this year from the Bush Founda- tion for enriching our library. ,r\ugsburg needs the cooperation and help of the com- munity in turning the weight of its property acquisitions into wings which will enable the college to get off the ground, if you please. in the development of its projected campus. Minneapolis wants a great orchestra. great theatre, great art collections. great recreational opportunities. We would ask the community also if it wants a great private college in its midst as well. to stipply those elements which only such an independent educational institution can pro- \idc. »\s we ask for this. we admit very readily that our greatest source of encouragement comes from leaders of all sorts in this metropolitan area who are coming more and more to know of and to believe in Augsburg College. .v.. on 'it. too. will tituniini \\lulht-r \Ilgsliuru stir- in: \ thl‘ ‘si‘tlilitJin'. 'l’hc policies of government, state and federal. will very likely have more to do with the future of Augsburg Col- lege than any other factor. We must not be slow to acknowl- edge the faet that were it not for government programs. particularly in the area of student loans and of college housing. Augsburg would not be where it is today. This is a short way of saying that imolvement by government in the arena of higher education will be a vital factor in insur— ing stir\i\al with significance for a large number of col- leges in what is coming to be regarded as "the private sys- tem of higher education." This private system. so—callcd because of its type of control and support. is nevertheless fulfilling a significant public function in educating the citizenry of this nation. and deserves public attention. It is apparent that the total educational system needs this pri- vate sector, and if, for example. Augsburg succumbs be- cause students who wish to enroll at a tuition-charging school cannot do so because funds in terms of loans and scholarships are unavailable. a host of other similar col- leges will close. some sooner. some later, and the whole of education will suffer irreparable loss. So far Augsburg has not advanced to the point where it can command large amounts of aid from government sources. outside of student loan and college housing pro- grams. Significant rescarch grants, special program grants and educational facilities grants have not been awarded simply because the college was not ready to participate. Now. when Augsburg has reached the stage where it can and must participate. it would he tragic if these sources were not continued or expanded. It is imperative that the Vietnam war be settled. that higher education at state and federal levels be given massive aid in terms of help to students. and that the citizenry who believe in private higher education bring their convictions to bear upon those who establish the policies and laws on behalf of the educational enterprise. Unless there is this significant sup- port from this quarter, hope is dim for survival in the long run. \ l inal \\ ord A deep conviction that Augsburg's survival was the will of God kept many of its earlier leaders steadfast and courageous while battling great odds. An answer to the question of whether or not the Lord wants Augsburg to survive is. it seems to me. a presumptuous one. I do not know the will of God for Augsburg and I know of no one who does.

Augsburg will be what we who are most closely associated with it want it to become. If it bccomes mediocre or moribund. it will be our fault tirst. . v i ‘- ms. .: H :.\' v {n Mgt‘tlit tint. The answer to this question may not be in the easy atlirmative. The fact is we are receiving less and less support from our church body as the years go by. The per— centage of support for the educational program of Augs- burg (‘ollcge coming from The American Lutheran Church is shrinking steadily. and the prospect of fewer actual dollars confronts us constantly. The percentage of students coming from our constituent body is likewise dropping. While there are indeed many advantages in having become a part of The :\L( family of colleges. the truth of the matter is. for Augsburg College. the merger of 1963 marked no miracle in terms of greater tangible assistance to the institution. ,-\nd. w liile we are being frank. let us face the fact that the etl'ort called LIFE was not a success. Our church set out in 1%? to raise “more than twenty million dollars" ox er a three—year period for capital purposes at our colleges and seminaries. It has raised less than $20 million. The capital needs ot‘ the colleges were o\er twice the $20 mil- lion. so even a $20 million success would have provided only a traction of what was necessary by way of capital as- sistance. Add to all this the fact that construction costs have gone up over 20‘} during the three-year period of l 1H3. and it is not ditlicult to see that while the church set out to do a tine thing. it has hardly given its colleges a resounding mm of confidence. This may sound ungrateful and it is not meant to; whatever we receive from the LIFE etl‘ort will be genuinely appreciated. Rather. it is the opin- ion of this church college president that. in spite of LIFE. plans for the future of Augsburg cannot include any grow- ing financial support from our church as such unles‘s. on the one hand, there is a revival of vigor and stewardship in the church and. on the other. a new relationship be- tween church and college whereby the latter may have a more direct connection with the resources of its church constituency. Augsburg College may in the decade of the 70‘s explore the possibility of such a new relationship to the church. This college‘s rocky history is too full of the folly of theo- logians and churchmen to risk another century in an un- certain connection with a synodical body. That is not to say that the Christian commitment of the college will be any less. If that commitment is to be maintained it will be by the determination of those who operate the institution and not by those who have the structure of support but fail to function through it. The question whether or not our church will give any special consideration to the specific needs of an institution faced with unique and pressing problems, as a parent would an ailing child. further presses the issue as to whether the church really Wants Augsburg to survive for significance. llns qui-stion .ilm cuntionts Ilic \lumni ot the (‘ollegcn For some time it has been customary to describe the body of alumni from Augsburg College as few in number and poor in material wealth. The time has come to be rid of such excuses. The college now has a respectable number of graduates and they comprise no longer only impecunious preachers and teachers. It is obvious that among our alumni there is a consider- able number who are deeply loyal and vigorously active in the support of their college. Last year this group contribut- ed m er S 105.000 to all programs at Augsburg. due largely to a very active alumni efiort. To all these must go a hearty thank you for this tangible expression of appreciation and faith. without which Augsburg could not survive. Included among our alumni, however. are some former students and graduates who decry the changes that have taken place and express in a variety of ways their dis- appointment that Augsburg is not what it used to be. To these I must say; If Augsburg makes no changes it will die. It is no longer a seminary; theological education is not our concern. It is no longer an island isolated from society; we Show less
