Exodus M :15. Israel had made an excellent start. It was in- deed a great thing that after centuries of bond- age they had obeyed the call to freedom which God thru Moses had sent to them. Well might a sense of deep joy thrill the man who had been the means of kindling in this downtrodden and degraded race the sacred fire of liberty and in- spire them with faith and courage to enter the road to the fair land of promise. The beginning had been auspicious beyond all expectation. But now—just now all their efforts seemed wasted. Rearward Pharaoh's host came thundering on; forward threatening waters blocked the way. On- ward now seemed to lead into the very jaws of death: retreat would mean in many ways a fate worse than death. Small wonder that they “cried out unto Jehovah", Moses not the least. But now it sounded as though Jehovah would not even hearken to their cry. “Wherefore criest thou unto me?—go forward!" Onward lies the way over which Israel is to pass—straight into the sea. There shall be a road even there. The instrument which is to open a way lies in their leader's hand. even though he does not realize it, for it is so humble. “Lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go into the midst of the sea on dry ground.” Enough of crying unto Jehovah! Now is the hour of action. And no sooner did Moses act than there opened a spacious lane through the track-less waters. More than that: The angel of God went behind them and stood as a rear-ward. How often have not God’s people gone through similar experiences. But how hard a lesson to learn. The path of God‘s people lies in only one direction,—onward. Never backward—that leads to bondage and death; ever onward as God directs —-—that is the way of liberty and life. The rod, the means which open the way, we already have; but we must use them. Prayer?—0f course. But prayer must lead to action. Help can come only on condition that we give ourselves and our means to the Lord, so he can use us for his purpose. When God directs, and we are willing to act in harmony with our prayers, then a dry stick is potent enough to open the way onward for a whole nation. The Lutheran Free Church needs to take this lesson to heart. We have made a fair start. Mis- takes we have made, to be sure, and our faith has often been wavering enough, yet we have had not a little proof of God’s love in the time that has passed since our church body was organized in 1897. Considerable progress has been made in many local churches, and the Spirit of God has not deserted us. Some have complained of weakness in our general work and lack of co—operation be- tween our sister congregations. To some extent this criticism is undoubtedly well taken, but an unbiassed examination will show that our progress has been on the whole considerable. If we com- pare, for example, the total contributions to our general work for the years 1897 to 1902 with the five year period of 1923 to 1928, progress will be palpably evident, even though we make allowance for the shrinkage in money value. In another and more important field progress may be demonstrated. Our people have a clearer conception of the aim and mission of the Lutheran Free Church. This is a natural consequence of the obstacles we have had to surmount and the trials we have had to endure. There is a clearer conception also of the need of co—operation be- tween the individual congregations that constitute the Lutheran Free Church. Our experiences dur- ing the last ten years especially have shown that it is no easy task to run the Lutheran Free Church 011' the track if our congregations will stick to- gether. This does not at all imply that our church has fulfilled its mission; quite the contrary; its work has just begun. But it is a good beginning which ought to hearten us to redoubled efi'ort. All spiri- tual movements which are vital with truth take time to germinate and grow. They must penetrate deep into the consciousness of people, and this takes time. A mushroom may pop up over night; an oak takes a hundred years to mature. In the work to make our mission understood by our people so as to gain their support, our schools naturally take a very prominent part, for it is the oncoming generation that must be won and trained to carry the Free Church idea forward. It is therefore vitally necessary for the Free Church to support its schools so they may become strong and efficient in winning our young people for its cause. A free church must whole-heartedly rally around its schools, for they are the vital organs through which its spiritual power must flow to be carried onward. Church history proves by many examples that a free church that neglected its schools has soon disintegrated. This conviction caused the founding of Augsburg, and it is this conviction which has made it possible for this school to operate until today in spite of the rather peculiar difficulties it has had to face. To re-en- force this statement let me quote what President Sverdrup, Sr. said in 1877: “Let the Conference endeavor to preserve the school, and the school will preserve the Conference." During late years our schools have not re- ceived as substantial support as their importance merited, hence they have fallen seriously into debt. Augsburg owes $58,850 and Oak Grove about $30,000, a total of $88,850. Thus the ques- tion faces the Lutheran Free Church, “Shall we go forward, or shall we retreat?” Some say re- trench and save money. Retrench? That is to retreat—that is the way of death. It is unthink— able. The Lutheran Free Church must go for- ward. It must live: therefore we must place our schools on a sound financial basis. Stupid is the general who orders his army to advance before he has fortified his base and secured his rear. I believe the Lutheran Free Church is de- termined to go forward. The last Annual Con- ference was undoubtedly of this opinion, therefore it resolved to start a jubilee campaign to raise $200,000 to remove the indebtedness on our Show less

OCTOBER 1. 192‘.) WHY THIS IS CALLED Four hundred years ago the Lutheran Reformation was going through its greatest crisis. The enemies of reform had at last united for a final crushing blow, Pope and Emperor had made peace with each other for the purpose of making a concerted drive against the Luth- erans. If persuasion failed. the heresy was to be stamped out in fire and blood. The Diet of Speier in 1529 was the first ominous rumble of the coming storm. The Diet of Augsburg in 1530 was designed to loose the flood that was to sweep the Reformation out of existence. The reformers were ill prepared. Luther. banned by church and state alike since 1521. could not safely appear in public as their spokesman. The Marburg conference. an attempt to unite all evangelicals. had failed. The FACTS ABOUT l. Augsburg Seminary 1. When and why was Augsburg founded! Augsburg Seminary was founded by Lutheran pioneers in 1869. at Marshall, Wisconsin. but was moved to Min- neapolis. Minnesota. in 1872. Its purpose was to train Lutheran ministers to preach the gospel to Norwegian immigrants who in large numbers were settling in the A JUBILEE CAMPAIGN Lutheran princes were distracted by petty political squab- bIes. At the Diet of Augsburg the Lutherans presented a written statement of their faith. the Augsburg Confes- sion. This famous document rallied the followers of Luther. Now they had a symbol of their common evan- gelical faith, inspiring them to stand united at all costs in loyalty to God and his word. The Reformation was saved. Therefore Lutherans all over the world, mindful of God's past mercies. will in 1930 celebrate in grateful re- membrance of those heroic Christians who braved the gates of hell to plant aloft the torch of gospel truth. “Jehovah hath done great things for them. Jehovah hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad." Ps. 126. OUR SCHOOLS enlightened people. Co-education was introduced in 1921. 3. I'r'hrlf departments are (here at Augsburg? There are three departments: a. A theological seminary offering a standard three year theological course for those who feel called to the Christian ministry in Lutheran churches. AUGSBURG SEMINARY United States. It was the first theological school built by Norwegian Lutherans in America. 2. h Augcburg simply a training school for ministers? No. That was and still is its principal aim, but in its various departments it also gives a broad, liberal educa- tion preparatory for other professional studies. Its cur- eicula have been broadened and enriched from time to time so as to meet the growing needs of a progressive and b. Augsburg College, a standard four year liberal arts college preparing for theology, teaching, graduate study. and the other professions.

Yes, a jubilee fund; for next year we shall celebrate the four hundredth anniversary of the Augsburg Confession. It will be a great event for Lutherans all over the world. Then the Lutheran Free Church ought above all others to celebrate, for according to Dr. Rudolph Sohm, the greatest authority on church polity, who made the statement in a private letter writ- ten shortly before his death, the form of organiza- tion adopted by the Lutheran Free Church comes closer than any other to the ideal conceived by the Lutheran reformers. But we can not celebrate while a big debt crushes and cripples our schools. Shall the Free Church fail now, after over thirty years of fairly successful work, fail now when more than ever there is an open door awaiting us? Suppose the reformers in 1530 had said, “No, we must re- trench, we must retreat, this will not work. Here is the Emperor and his henchmen plotting our ruin; there is the Roman hierarchy headed by the pope determined on our destruction; it means burning at the stake to advance.” No, they used quite a different dialect: "A mighty fortress is our God, A trusty shield and weapon; Our help is He in all our need, Our stay, whate’er may happen;"— (See Hymanry, 270. Read the whole hymn.) So sang the ancient heroes, stepped bravely forward, and ran aloft the gospel standard ready to give their all for Christian freedom, “—kindred, goods, and life,” to win the Kingdom for them- selves and for future generations. And 10, again did God cleave a way so the gospel of sin and grace could once more flow down on the parched land and call forth a free church, re-born of the Holy Spirit. But what if they had beat retreat! Here is a challenge to you dear young people of the Lutheran Free Church. Again the cry is “forward!” This is your opportunity. The schools need you and you need the schools. What- ever you may have done in the past, now is your chance to do something really worth while. Help us lift this debt. Do not leave it to “Dad.” He will do his share; he is used to it. But will you do yours? The schools can’t do much for “Dad”, you know, but they can do a lot for you. They will be glad to do it, if you will give them sub— stantial support. Some of your friends are our students. They are going to scrape their pockets to help their schools out. But you know how it is with students; their spirit is willing, but the purse is——- — —! Now many of you are making fair wages. I have known some of you young men to spend ten dollars on a single evening’s en- tertainment. Possibly you had a fine time; pos- sibly the next day you even had a—headache. Now I am inviting you to spend at least ten dollars to help these schools. It is a worthy cause, and you know it. If you are a serious-minded man or woman—and I believe most of you are at bottom —you will readily understand that Christian schools stand for all that is finest and most whole- some in life. You are also aware that not all money spent by young people goes to help the cause of Christ. Would it not he a good thing for your own soul to give generously to a cause that is particularly designed to help youngr people physically, intollrctually, morally, and spiritually? If you should give ten dollars non, I believe you will have such satisfaction from it that next time you have a chance you will give fifty dollars. And then you will feel better still, for you will then have a real stake in the greatest enterprise in tho world—be a part owner, so to speak. And the in— vestment will pay constantly increasing dividends as long as you live. A good act always does, and its after effects do not keep you awake nights. The campaign committee has told me to act as manager of this in-gathering of funds. I have consented to assume this responsibility. The Good Book says, "It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth." I have become convinced that this is absolutely and unreservedly true. It is re- sponsibility that makes us. At the schools we are, most of us, hopelessly young. Hence I feel that I must have you young people with me, so I am ap- pealing to every young man and young woman and every Sunday school scholar in the Lutheran Free Church to take hold and “put this across"; then we can hold a real jubilee next year. In order to get you started we are going to give you an extra inducement. Every young peo- ple's society which contributes one hundred dol- lars or over to this jubilee fund will be placed on the L. F. C. Honor Roll. Every Sunday school which contributes twenty-five dollars or more will likewise be put upon the Lutheran Free Church Honor Roll. These honor rolls will be preserved in the archives of Augsburg and Oak Grove as worthy examples for future generations. Let us now get busy all along the line. First let us cry to God so he may stir our hearts, next let us follow our prayers with resolute action and give heroically, then we shall see our efforts crowned with success. “Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward." Someone to Lead the Way In every worth-while undertaking, if it is to succeed, some one must take the lead. That is true in our effort for Augsburg and Oak Grove. Someone must take the lead in pledges that are generous and inspiring and that will urge all the rest to do their best. Some one must take the lead in every congregation, show the way to the mem- bership by pledges that will stir and inspire the membership to be eager to do their utmost. When a task, no matter how essential, is first discussed within the Church, what is the imme diate reaction? Evereyone says: “Surely it should be done, but there are also so many other things to do and we ought to think it over, and we want to wait and see what others are doing." While that spirit prevails, nothing is done. Action is put off from day to day until finally even the finest obligation fails to meet response. But if someone with a larger faith takes the lead, sweeps aside the hesitancy to act, makes a pledge that is encouraging, then immediately all the others awaken and are willing to move for- ward and follow the lead.

Augsburg Academy, a standard first class high school, accredited to the University of Minnesota, otIering a four year course of college preparatory work. Graduates are admitted without examination to all colleges that ad- mit on the certificate plan. 4. What has Augsburg contributed to our spiritual, in- tellectual. and social life in the past? This question is a little hard to answer. for it is so broad; but we may note the following: a. It was the first theological seminary built by Nor- wegian Lutherans in America. Since 1870 it has sent out 480 theological graduates of whom about 95'; have worked as pastors and missionaries at home and abroad. Almost 100% of the pastors in the Lutheran Free Church are graduates of Augsburg. b. The first missionaries sent to heathen lands by Nor- wegian Lutherans in America were graduates of Augs- burg. At present Augsburg graduates are doing active missionary work in Madagascar, India, Central Africa. space far too small for present needs. There are two (lurr mitories for men, one built in 1872-1875, the other in 1884. The two dormitories for women were built in lN'JFi and 1889 respectively. The main building. erected in 1901, houses the administration. the class rooms. chapel. library, and laboratories. Besides these there is ll private residence, part of which is used as an emergency hospital for male students who are ill but nut seriously enough to need regular hospitalizatinn. o.

Augsburg was the first Lutheran school—and for some .time the only one—to take an active and leading part In the temperance movement that finally brought about national prohibition. d. In the past approximately 50% of the graduates of Augsburg College have studied theology and have en- tered the ministry. Some have become physicians. den- tists, lawyers, etc., and hold honored and influential posi- tions. of late years in steadily increasing number, Augs- burg graduates have entered the field of high school teach- ing and are thus helping to educate our future citizens. Some have pursued graduate work in American and Eu- ropean universities and are engaged in college and univer- sity teaching. One is a leading church historian, another 13.!!! authority on Norwegian immigration to America, a third is a professor in the University of Berlin, one is an archeologist of international reputation, a fourth is a noted astronomer in one of the largest universities of the Middle West, while others are teaching in various col- leges. They are an honor to Augsburg, to the Free Church, and to our country. 5. What equipment has Augsburg? The campus comprises only one small city block—a In the college 21.3% were children of pastors and pro~ fessors. In the academy 39% were children of pastors and professors. The great majority of all students come from Lutheran homes. '7. What source of income hm: Augsburg? A small endowment fund of $79,000.00, voluntary con- tributions, and tuition paid by students as follows, begin- ning next year: Theology, no tuition. College, $75.00 paid in three terms. Academy, $45.00 paid in three terms. 8. What is Augsburg’s most pressing need? a. More of spiritual life and more complete consecra- tion. b. Adequate financial support. Augsburg is a grow- ing school and needs increased allowance in order to meet the rising demands of our church and its young people. If we cannot or will not support the institution so it can educate our young people efiiciently, they will seek their education elsewhere and thus drift away from the Luth- eran Free Church. We can not starve our central institu- tion without seriously crippling our general work as a church body. A broken hub makes the whole wheel use- less. If we persist in driving in spite of this, we shall soon land in the ditch. All that Augsburg asks at present is enough financial support to be able to function at all. Show less

The school owns three buildings The main building. a modern fire-proof structure, was occupied in 1923. The first building, originally a residence, was bought in 1906 together with a strip of land along the Red River. This building is now old and not adapted for school use. East Hall was built in 1908 and now serves as a boys‘ dor- mitory. This building is yet in good condition. OAK GROVE SEMINARY. FARGO. N. DAK. a. What is the character a/ the school! It is a Christian secondary school for boys and girls, young men and women. Since the moving of the Bible School from Willmar to Fargo in 1927, it is also s Luth» eran Bible School. 4. Is it necessary to have a church Academy besides the state High Schools? There has always been a demand for High School edu- cation on a Christian basis. This demand is increasing at present. Because of the principle of absolute separa- tion of church and state the state institutions can not and should not undertake to teach religion. But Lutheran church people believe that Christianity is so important a factor in the life of our youth that it should not be neg- lccbed in High School education. 5. Is not thin particular field covered lie/arc? Oak Grove Seminary in the only standardized Lutheran High School in North Dakota. 8. What awn" are olmd?

They were brave and faithful workers for the furtherance of the kingdom of God in this country and in foreign lands. They were instruments of great power, used by God to make Christianity a vital factor in the life of the people. Their spiritual influence has been felt among our people throughout the whole land. We remember our pioneers for what the unchanging Christ was for them and meant to them, for their sound and zealous work for the spiritual awakening of our people, and for their building up of a free and independent congregation founded upon Biblical Lutheran fundamental principles. We remember our fathers for their wholehearted loyalty to their adopted country, and for their intelligent work to preserve the best there is to be found in the Norwegian culture, which they have transmitted to us as an in- dispensable heritage. We remember our leaders for their un- ceasing labors in founding such schools as Augsburg and Oak Grove. Augsburg Seminary has itself been a pioneer among N orth- men in America. It was called by God to take the lead in one of the most serious and most difficult problems which the Chris- tian Church throughout the changing times has to solve, namely: How shall God‘s servants in the congregation best be trained for their work? Let us rejoice in remembering our fathers, praising God who gave them wisdom and courage and strength to take the lead in this great cause and blaze the way.

It is an inspiration to think of the wide scope, the immense value, and the tremendous cost in self-sacrifice and hardships which their work in the Vineyard presents to us. Not a few re- fiesent missionary heroism, a dauntless zeal in serving the aster on the extreme frontiers; others represent more the genuine pastoral, evangelistic and educational effort and fore- sight in the early days in the Northwest. Our pioneers founded Augsburg and Oak Grove. These schools are the very heart and life of the Church, the guardians and preservers of our faith. They founded them not for a day; they founded them to continue to serve and carry on their mis- sion from generation to generation. We are the heirs of their faith and sacrifices. Now we are bearing the responsibility of carrying them forward and keeping them intact, not for our- selves only, but for the generations that are coming after us. Shall we prove ourselves worthy of their sacred trust? firms Hlsxm The pioneer fathers and mothers are gone; their schools and our schools live on. They send out the life blood of Christian power and growth to every part and activity of our church at home and abroad. Surely it is a privilege for us to bear the re- sponsibility for our forefathers’ greatest work. And, above all, let us remember, that Jesus Christ is the same now as in generations past. His love, His peace and joy are the same. His salvation is the same. Whatever Christ was to Paul, He is still to us. Whatever He did for Luther when He made him a new man, a man of strong faith, He will do for us. And whatever He was and did for our pioneers, He will do for us, yea, much more. Our pioneers' God is our God. He will remain the same for ever. Praise the Lord! ig- 1%. 0. Mi Anon-ox PI-rn Nina-n on Kinux Show less

Show more8 iJUBiILPE BQELETIN Our Schools Are Great Pillars of Bible Faith The Gospel of the Son of God who died on the cross to save sinful mankind is again the stumbling block to the proud heart of man. On every hand, thought, even pastors sworn to the truth of God, are denying Christ and making 11 mockery of Gethsemane and Calvary and a fable of the resurrection. The world is turning from reverence to ridicule. from self—denial to self-assertion and self-indulgence, from the life of the spirit to the love of the slavery of the flesh, from Christ- likeness to the image of the enemy of Christ. It is doubtful whether the warfare between the power of light and the forces of darkness has ever been as bitter as it is right now. During all this struggle, Augsburg and Oak Grove have remained loyal to the faith of the Bible. Their faculties are Christian and Lutheran. Their students are imbued with the spirit of Christ. Their service is for the old faith. Augsburg and Oak Grove are not only the great power house for our Church, they are outstanding barriers in the great warfare between modernism and the faith in the revealed Word of God. God needs them in His Kingdom beyond the immediate service which they are rendering to our Church body. leaders of Our Sincerity as Christians Daily we pray: “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Surely in so praying we are aware of the implied pledge that as far as lies in our power we will see that His Kingdom does come and that His will really is done. Professions of loyalty to Christ without the deeds to make them come true are empty. In the continued vigor of Augsburg and Oak Grove we face the true test of our prayer for the coming of God’s Kingdom. They are the heart of the Church, send- ing out pastors, missionaries, leaders of strong Chris- tian conviction. As they are able to do their task, God’s Kingdom grows and flourishes. As they fail God’s King- dom fails, and the light of the Gospel becomes dim. Luther rightly says: “As dear as the Gospel is to us so urgently let us build our schools." Sincerity is to speak as we think. to do as we pretend and profess, to perform and make good what we promise, and really to be what we seem and appear to be. As Christians we think that we must have Christian schools, we say so and, at congregational meetings and annual conventions, we vote that our Christian schools shall be supported and strengthened in their great work for Christ and His Church. We have promised to do our part. Now we are called upon to fulfill that promise by gifts of love and thanksgiving to our schools. Love never asks: How much must I do. but; How much can I do. We believe in schools; we love these schools. Faith is a hand that receives; love is a. hand that gives. According to our faith, we take to ourselves benefits from these institu- tions; according to love we give to their support. We sincerely believe in the work of these schools. They are our schools, established to meet the wants of our children. There can be no true education without the Christian religion, and Augsburg and Oak Grove aim to teach the Christian religion and all the subjects in the light of God's Word. If we sincerely believe this, we must send our boys and girls to these schools, support them with liberal gifts and maintain them as Christian schools in the best sense of the word. Does It Pay Does it pay to support our Christian institutions? Sometimes We hear the (-mnplnint, “We can not raise sufficient money to pay the current expenses of our local church. Why should we send money away when we need it so sorely at home?" This is n business-like way of reasoning. no doubt. But God's ways are not always our ways, and his thoughts are not our thoughts, as the fol- lowing story will show. It happened within our own Lutheran Free Church. Some thirty odd years ago, in a city in Minnesota, there lived a shiftless father and a negligent mother. They had three children. two boys and a girl, who grew up on the streets, never experiencing the joy of a real home. The mother finally divorced her husband. who was glad to give the children away. One of our pastors pitied the children. Due to neglect the elder boy had become a cripple. took them into his own home and cared for them. This led in a short while to the founding of one of our orphanages, The Christian atmosphere of the new surroundings had a transforming where the three children found a home. effect upon them; their young hearts responded readily to the gentle but firm discipline of a Christian matron. In time the elder boy was helped through Augsburg Academy. After taking a business course he passed the civil service examinations and shortly obtained a posi- tion with the government in Washington, D. C. The younger boy was likewise sent to Augsburg. Largely working his own way, he graduated from the Academy, then from the College, and finally from the Theological Seminary. He was ordained and took up work as an assistant pastor in one of our largest cities. He has since been engaged in home missionary work, for which he has developed a genius. He goes in among the un- churched masses and through his sincerity and lovable character wins their hearts. Before long he succeeds in rallying them around Christian work, and a congregation is organized. When it has become somewhat established, a minister is secured for them. and our friend moves on to another unchurched district, where the same procedure is repeated. He already has three such congregations to his credit. There is nothing outstanding about the man so far as appearance is concerned. He is not a brilliant speaker. His education is not exceptional. All his life he will suf- fer from certain handicaps due to neglected training in early childhood. But his heart is afire for God and like Paul of old he feels indebted to both Jew and Gentile. How many erring souls, adrift in the far country, shall be brought back to the Father’s house through his devoted ministry, only God's great day shall reveal. his was reared in our Christian schools.—Does it pay'.’ The devil’s wrecking plants are working overtime, de- stroying souls faster than the church can save and rebuild them. Is it good Christian economy to stint those institu- tions which are the most important in carrying on the work of salvaging souls? AUGSBURG COLLEGE ARCHIVES Show less

Anderson Focus on Augsburg: A Portrait-of Continuity and Change Once again I face the pleasurable but difficult task of summarizing the year's activities of your college in a few words. These comments will only highlight some selected items, a series of snapshots rather than a motion picture of the year. More detailed information can be obtained by reviewing earlier issues of Augsburg College Now or by writing to the college. As with any living organism, the story of Augsburg College is one of continuity and change. Our history — as a quality liberal arts college with a strong church tie, of modest size and financial resources. located in the heart of a great metropolitan center —- provides both the context of our efforts and the basic direction for the future. At the same time many things are new. \Ne do not have the luxury of living in the past. This report will outline some new challenges and opportunities and how we are responding. Focus 1981-1982 People, Programs and Finances Augsburg exists to provide quality opportunities for learning and growth to the young and old persons who come to us. It has been a good. a productive year. The only thing wrong with our students is that there are fewer of them than we wish. Inflation has driven up our costs and charges and at the same time student financial support from state and federal government sources has decreased. Since our student body is not relatively affluent, this combination led some students to transfer to state-subsidized educational institutions last year. A good education is certainly possible in the public system. but we believe firmly that it is not the same as the private education at Augsburg College. The accompanying charts illustrate changes in enrollment and financial aid. In 1981-1982, despite a smaller enrollment, the college spent more than ever before for financial aid to students as the government support was cut. The most important single fact about our fine faculty this year is the continued positive impact of the Faculty Development Program funded by the Bush Foundation. This is a three~year effort and we have benefited a great deal already. On the staff and administrative side there have been some changes that will be important to us. We have a tax and estate planning expert who lives in Arizona and also a deferred giving specialist to take up the slack left by Sig Hjelmeland's retirement. Both are working on a consultant basis. Those of you who would like to explore these areas should contact the college. We have also engaged a professional firm to conduct a market survey so that we may know our constituent groups better and thus move to serve you more effectively. One of our regents, recently retired from the corporate world. is assisting the president on a volunteer basis. Significant ne“ efforts in our program areas include the Weekend College. a program in East and Southeast Asian Studies. a Humanities Major. a minor in Special Education. a Center for Global Seriice and Education — and a computer science emphasis to meet clearh expressed student needs. Academic departments. beginning nith Business Administration and Economics. are being reviewed for possible imprmements. Augsburg Weekend College is an excellent example of non effort in academic programming and communin ser\ice. This offering is designed to enable persons who are emplowd or OIl’lCHHsL’ occupied during regular school hours to pursue an academic degree or to simph engage in advanced personal study. Classes are on alternate weekends. We hoped for an initial enrollment of around 50 students: 100 persons are taking Weekend College classes. We continue to take our responsibility to the community seriously. Our desires to serve the congregations of the church are finding significant expression through the Office of Church Relations. now in a second year of operation. The financial picture for the year has both bright and dark colors, We have finished another year in the black, although the operating budget had to be adjusted due to our efforts to help students take up some of the slack caused by shifts in financial aid from the government, both state and federal. We also had a slight decline in enrollment and this affected our income. A balanced budget in this context Administration Leadership is a real accomplishment.

Scholarship winners, families and donors celebrate academic excellence at the annual Scholarship Recognition dinner. 0 The excitement and vitality of a metropolitan center blend with the smallness and intimacy of the Augsburg campus. The Quad provides an informal setting for students, faculty and staff. 0 As a Christian campus, a wide range of religious expression and participation is embraced. Augsburg is based on the belief that the world is God's entrusted to us for care. exploration and understanding 0 For more than 100 years, Augsburg College has emphasized intellectual freedom in the search for knowledge, responsiveness to the needs of society and the world and preparation of students for service and leadership in church and society. Commencement is a time of celebration in the acknowledgment of completion and awareness of just beginning. 0 Fostering close friendships and encouraging lasting relationships is part of the private, liberal arts college environment. Friends are an integral part of the college experience. 0 Community leaders provide a wealth of expertise by serving on the Board of Regents. Clayton LeFevere, on the left, retired this summer after 12 years as a regent with 10 of those years as chairman. O The academic program provides opportunities for a broad background in a variety of subject areas as well as personal development. During this year, a computer science minor was added to the curriculum. 0 The quality of Augsburg’s education is enriched by the people, culture and educational resources provided by its location. The college is also aware of a responsibility to contribute to the larger community. Providing skyways and tunnels has made the Augsburg campus accessible for students and community. 0 Participation in campus events and organizations broadens a student's college experience. In the winning tradition, Augsburg College captured the 1982 NAIA National Ice Hockey title. ‘gUTH To °° + "s 3 <5 E z .y 05 cc 4%“ J‘ V, 0 aka CoLfio Augsburg College 731 21st Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55454 A College of The American Lutheran Church Show less

In 1981-1982, more than 85 percent at " , g 1 Enrollment presents a challenge for at least three reasons: 1. There are fewer young people in the traditional college age group (18-22). This decline willcontinue at least until 1991,and must be offset in our college by programs for non-traditional students. for example Weekend College, and by a serious effort to get a larger share of the traditional pool than was the case in the past. 2. Inflation has driven costs and charges to unprecedented heights. We are making every effort to cut costs and curtail unnecessary expenditures so that our students can afford the quality education Augsburg offers 3. Changes and rumors of changes in financial aid have hit our students very heavily because so many are dependent on financial aid to complete their education. We have the highest percentage of students eligible for aid in the state of Minnesota, and in the whole college system of The American Lutheran Church. We must find additional, non- governmental money for student support, unless we wish to change Augsburg's traditional stance and assert that only affluent persons should have access to our college. In the face of the immediate challenges we intend to do a number of things: 1. To improve the quality of our offerings while maintaining a reasonable and advantageous faculty-student ratio; 2. To make admissions an all—college effort rather than resting the responsibility only upon six counselors and a few coaches; 3. To increase markedly our gift program and move to a major fund drive which will concentrate upon student aid and endowment. You have a central part in these efforts. We have already begun to involve alumni and friends in our admissions and interpretation efforts. Some of you have agreed to work with the TAAP Program. All of you can assist by telling us of prospective students. contacting such students yourselves. and being open about your ties to Augsburg. Tell your friends, tell your pastors. tell prospective students. The days when the college could afford to be quietly standoffish and almost secretive have passed. We need to get the word out. Your participation in the Annual Fund has been well above national averages, but why should we be content with this sort of comparison? If 10,000 alumni gave an average of 5100 it would mean a million dollars a year! When you are contacted for the Annual Fund or for any other college fund program, please seriously consider a positive response. if we did not need you in order to continue this ministry, we certainly would not ask. This has been a "good news. bad news year." The students who continue to come to us with their glorious possibilities for growth, our sense of institutional vocation or calling to be a place of service to the church and the community, and your continued support and prayers make problems into opponunities, and challenges into moments of grace and victory. Thank you all for the year; we look forward to the next one in your company. Clue/W Charles S.
