A Thousand Hark To Science Hall llCome See" Augsburg held Open House in the new Science Hall on Sunday. October )0. from I to y p. m. and on Monday eve- ning. October 3|. from 7 to 9:30 p. m. Approximately a thousand people from Minneapolis and vicinity took advantage of this opportunity to see the building from bottom to tap. Guides were available who took the visitors in groups. explain- ing intricacies of construction and design as they went along. Each tour was very appropriately concluded with 'colfee' at the dining hall. Remarks heard were always the same. "What a beautiful buildingl" "What care- ful phoning." "What a unique Chapel!" "Thank you for an enjoyable and en- lightening hour." 50 Augsburg goes on—humbly thank- ful for the many gifts which made the Science Hall. its fixtures and furnishings possible. lts expanded program has been immediately accepted as vital and neces- sary-«he first hurdle in the twenty-year building program.

Show moreWith the Aussie Battlers Gridiron Gleanings Bulletin readers will be interested in a resumé of the football season which we can honestly say was very successful, al- though the final standings in the con- ference don't put the Auggies in the up- per bracket. Two wins, two ties and three losses make up the record for the season. The ties tell a story in that both oppos- ing teams tied have gone on to make marks of distinction. For instance, the first tie with Mankato finds that team going on to be champions in their Con- ference. Then the 'even-stephen’ game with Macalester was something of a feat, since Mac went on to defeat a highly- touted Gustavus eleven and to end the season in fifth place. The losses to St. Thomas (undefeated Conference Champions), St. John's and St. Olaf were not run-aways, that is for ssre, and all the teams felt they had stiffer opposition from Augsburg this year than they have had for many years. De- fensively the Auggies were quite brilliant and ranked third among the Conference teams in total points scored against. Of- fensively they lacked the necessary scor- ing punch. However. the Auggies wound up the season in a blaze of glory with a win of 27-6 against St. Mary's. This was a fitting conclusion to the season and to an otherwise successful Homecoming. Prospects for next year are very bright since most of the squad is returning. There will be a serious loss at the guard posi- tion since All Stater Bob Howells and Bud Leak, co-captains, are graduating. But many of the sophomores have shown promise and with more experience are expected to fill the breech. Backfield ta- lent is sorely needed but who knows what the passing interim may uncover? What About Basketball? Basketball prospects are good. It may be said here that many of the regular members of last year's squad are finding it hard to keep their berths since there is Such a wealth of polish among the freshmen. That speaks well for the Aug- gies. Competing for posts is a healthy situation and makes for 'depth' in posi- tions —- something new for Augsburg and barring unexpected reversal of form, the. supporters of the "Maroon and Grey" should this year see some fancy basketball. Printed below is the schedule for the year. Beat in mind that all home games are played in the Minneapolis Armory. All games begin at 8 p. m., with prelim- inaries at 6:30 p. m. The z4—game sched- ule runs from December I to February 2;. Be sure to attend several games, es- pecially when the Auggies are in your vicinity.

We accept the beauty of God's nature, Our health, the love of those who are dearest to us, etc.. in a very matter—of—fact manner. 50 it is also with Christmas. We give and receive gifts. We feast and fuss. We even go to church. And once again Christmas passes. But what has it meant? Why do we celebrate Christmas? The Christmas Gospel gives us the answer. We celebrate Christmas because the birth of Jesus is the greatest manifestation of God's love for man. "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son." Never before, and never since, did God so fully reveal His love for man. We celebrate Christmas because the birth of Jesus is the an— swcr to the real needs of mankind. A certain minister spoke to a business man who was not a member of any church. He said, uI have come to speak to you about big things." “What big things?" asked the business man. "The big things which center in the manger at Bethlehem," replied the minister. Most peo- ple do not believe that. Throughout history men have believed that material things are the big things. and they have spent their lives for the things that are material and physical as though human happiness could be found only in them. We are sure, however, that no man can be truly happy, no matter how great his material wealth, unless he can look up to God and say with quiet confidence, "My Father." But of ourselves you and I cannot look up to God, for we are sinners. We must look away, because our souls are tainted, and our consciences are burdened. It was for the purpose of providing divine mercy and making possible the forgiveness of our sins, thereby eflecting a peace between God and men, that Jesus came. And this He did not only for a few, not only for a certain class of people, but for all men. We celebrate Christmas because it assures us that it is God who is on the throne of the universe. There are some who still believe that this universe runs on ungoverned, that whatever happens, happens as a matter of blind fate. Others believe that the affairs of all men are in the hands of a few "masters of mankind.” Perhaps Augustus thought just that when he gave the command that all the world should be taxed. Little did he realize that he was only a tool used by God to carry out His plans for the salvation of mankind. The prophet had said that the Christ should be born in Bethlehem, and Augustus must make his contribution to the end that God's plans were carried out. It was so then; it is so now. We are not at the mercy of blind chance, nor are we the helpless victims of those "masters" who would push us about. We are the sons and daughters of Godl In His own way and in accord with His plans of mercy and love He will overrule even the tragic situations of life to bring us His blessings. This we learn from the Christmas story. This is why we celebrate Christmas. --REV. PAUL SONNACK, Instructor in Church History. Open Letter To All Alumni: As this issue of the Bulletin goes to press, your Alumni Sec- retary will be beginning his field work. I look forward with great anticipation to seeing old Auggie classmates, and estab- lishing new friendships among those Auggies who have grad- uated in more recent years and who have taken their places of service in their various lines of endeavor. You have been informed that much of my time will be used in the procurement of students for Augsburg. My plans are to see the Pastor and Superintendent of Schools in each Lu- theran Free Church locality, as well as to visit Alumni and pros- pective students from these localities. My contacts will, of necessity, be hurried, since the area to be covered is so large. It perhaps will not be possible, because of distances and expense involved, to go further than Minnesota and its bordering state this year. But we would like to assure all friends of Augsburg that we need your assistance. If you know of a person who in your estimation is of college calibre, and whom you should like to see enroll at Augsburg, then we humbly beseech you to send us his name and address. Our office will see to it that your prospect receives appropriate literature. You will be doing the student and your school a real service. As I travel among you, I will be very much interested in do— ing what I can to promote local or district Alumni meetings. I hope that you will feel free to discuss with me your opinions on this subject. Think of it in this way: "What can we do to establish an activefissociation in our area?" It was most pleasant to see so many of you at Homecoming. I believe that everyone who came had some vivid experience that will long live in the memory. The new Science Hall resounded with “Oh’s” and “Ah's” of-astounded people. A remark heard often was: “What a different Augsburg from what I knew—yet the ideals and aims are always the same." The Choir Concert was beautifully rendered to a full Trinity and touched at the heartstrings of all who heard. May I then take this opportunity to thank all of you, Alumni and friends, for your good wishes to this office, both by letter and by word. We stand ready at all times to do what we can to promote the welfare of the "Augsburg Family." H. NORMAN HANSON. Continuous and multipliod reactions from BULLETIN roadors convince us that the news soction Ia "tops" in roador lntorost.

NOTE: This is (be first of a series of articles by which we hope to sbou' our readers just what is happening on the campus in [be matter of keeping step will) forward Educational Progress. To read and umlersfaml tbrse arliclrs is to appreciate that Augs- burg stamls ready and willing to be of service of the big/Jest order 10 all students who seek [be fundamental trill/1s in their choice of rotations. With the completion of the new Science building, Augsburg College is well equipped to offer training in chemistry, biology, and physics. There is suflicient lecture room space for each subject, as well as three laboratories for chemistry, two for biology, one for bacteriology and one laboratory for physics. All students who graduate from Augsburg Col— lege are required to complete at least one year of work in the natural sci— ences. They have the choice of a year of work con— sisting of a one-half year course in prin- ciples of chemistry and a one-half year course in principles of physics, a year of biology, a year of zoology, a year of botany or a year of physics. A major in the field of chemistry requires a minimum DR' NASH of three years of work, consisting of eight credits in each of general inorganic chemistry, qualitative and quantitative chemistry, and general organic chemistry. This major equips a student well for high school teaching, for further graduate study, or for a position as a junior chemist in one of the in- dustries where testing is done or even for beginnings in industrial research. It is anticipated that before long a course in physical chemistry will be demanded by the pre-medical students thereby qualifying them, after four years of training in the natural sciences, for application for admittance to any medical school. Students who major in the field of biology usually complete a year’s course in zoology, one year of botany, and one-half year of each in courses in ge- netics and ecology, for a total of twenty-four credits. Half-year courses in entomology and taxonomy of the flowering plants are available to students who want more training in biology. Additional credit may be earned by receiving training in microscopic tech- niques and in a course in biological literature. Even though the work in biology is intended pri- marily to prepare the student for high school teach- ing, he has opportunities in other fields, especially if he receives one year of additional graduate work. He may then be equipped for conservation work, fores— try, park ranger or park naturalist positions, or for research in biology. Some of the students choose to major in chemis— try and minor in biology or vise versa for high school teaching. Others choose to take a combined major in the natural sciences for high school teaching. Such a combined course consists of two years of biology, two years of chemistry and one year of physics. The advantage of a combined natural science major for teaching is that the student becomes qualified to teach in any of the fields of chemistry, biology, physics or general science in the high schools. It has become ne— cessary to offer two courses in bacteriology, one for the students in home economics and for others in- terested in the field, and one for nurses. This year Augsburg College is offering the first year of training for the students of nursing from the Deaconess Hospital. These subjects consist of chemistry for nurses, human anatomy, psychology for nurses, microbiology for nurses, sociology and book studies of the Bible. At present there are demands for a combined course in na- tural science to be offered at Augsburg College and medical technicians' instruction to be offered by the Deaconess Hospital for students who want to become medical technicians in a hos- pital or a doctor's office. Besides the course, principles of physics, there are two years of work in the field of physics, engineering drawing and descrip- tive geometry available for pre~engineering students. Demands by an enlarged student body have made a number of the above-mentioned courses in natural science necessary. As chairman of the division of na- tural sciences the undersigned can, because of a com— petent teaching staff and excellent facilities, vouch for that excellent training. is given in the natural sciences at Augsburg College.

Show moreFall Football Prospects Brighten Redmen to Furnish Homecoming Opposition Things are "looking-up" athletically, too, at Augsburg. So far the record shows that the football team has tied a strong Mankato eleven; has been beat- en only by St. Thomas' Little Cigar Bowl Champs; has soundly trounced a good Bethel team and settled for a tie with Macalester. Incidentally, the game with St. Thomas was something to behold. Outweighed fifteen pounds to the man, the Auggie line played St. Thomas to a standstill and in their own territory for a full quarter. It was only after 'whole team’ substitutions by the Tommies that our boys began to break and show the effects of tiring. The spirit is there this year and we believe that the remainder of the season, against more equal opposi- tion, will tell a different story for the Maroon and Grey. The Homecoming game at Nicolle: Park should really be one which Alumni should see. Plans are being made for a gala event—right down to the trimmings. Be there, Alumni.

CHOIR TO TOUR NORTHWEST Upon my return from a three week trip to the Pacific Northwest relative to the Augsburg College Choir’s I950 Tour, I find our Music organizations busy as ever. After only one week of practice, it seems we have the material for the finest Choir and Choral Club ever to be developed at Augsburg. The blend is un- usually tops. I We are war/ting hard now to get a fine musical program in shape for our annual Homecoming Concert to be pre- sented at Trinity Lutheran Church Sun- day afternoon, Not'ember 6 at 3:00 p.m. Don’t forget!

When we asked him how he felt after directing for the first time since his illness, he replied, "I feel like I just got out of jail!" With that spirit we can't lose. A special note to all you Choir alumni: you will be receiving a personal invitation to be present at our annual Choir lunch- eon to be held in the Augsburg Dining Hall Saturday, November 5, 1949 at 12:00 noon. They always say, "It's great to get together again.” Kenneth S. Sorenson Mgr. of Music Organizations NEW COURSES ADDED With the physical expansion at Augs— burg, excmplificd by the new Science and Administration Building, comes an increase in the courses offered on the curriculum. Dr. B. Kleven is teaching a new course, "American Political Thought.” New courses offered in Education in- clude High School Teaching, Guidance, and Methods. One of the changes this year will be in practice teaching—a stu- dent may now practice teach during either the first or second semester. For the benefit of the Freshmen, two new courses are offered in the field of Science. They are General Physics, first semester, and General Chemistry, second semester. NEW DEPARTMENT PUTS ACCENT ON HOME A Major in Home Economics at Augs- burg is now possible because of the mod~ ern facilities of the Home Economics De- partment located on the ground floor of the new Science Building. The north end of the department is a large room being used as a classroom for Art in Daily Living, Home Plan— ning and Furnishing, Color and Design, Child Care, Craft, and Art History and Appreciation. The small room adjoining the classroom is to be used as a craft workshop. The classroom is divided from the dining room by multifold doors. When these doors are open, the dining room becomes a part of the classroom. A small waiting room next to the dining room will be used by the guests of girls serv- ing dinners as part of their Foods Course. The large kitchen in the south end of the rooms will contain five kitchen units. Three of the units will have double- well sinks, one, a single-well sink, and one will have a dishwasher and garbage disposal unit. There will be both electric and gas stoves and refrigerators. Plans for the future include the installation of a laundry unit in one of the kitchens. TELEPHONE SERVICE EXTENDED Telephone service on the Augsburg campus is now centrally controlled at the new cord type switchboard located at the reception desk in the Science-Ad- ministration Building. Only the seventh of its kind installed in the Minneapolis area, it has approximately fifty exten- sions. They include telephones in the offices of Dr. B. M. Christensen, Dr. Nash, the Public Relations Department, Student Employment, Admissions Counselor, the Dean of Men, the Dean of Women, the Campus Pastor, the Registrar, the Treas- urer, the Business Director, the Dining Hall, the Athletic Ofice, the ECHO, the AUGSBURGIAN, the Music Department, the Biology-Chemistry Department, and Miss Tangjerd, the librarian. Other ofices may be added later. An operator is on duty at the switch- board from 8:30 to 5:00 Monday through Friday, and 8:30 to 12:30 on Saturday. During the hours when an operator is not on duty, a few of the ofices will have outside lines. - Show less

During his years at Augsburg he was a member of the glee club and choir and was on the Echo staff. In addition. he participated in athletics. Following graduation. Norman entered the teach- ing profession as principal and coach at Odessa. Min- nesota. In i936 he accepted the superintendent's position at Cyrus, Minnesota, and worked in that community until 1940. That year he became super- intendent at New York Mills, Minnesota and re- mained in that position until i944 when he entered the U. S. Navy. After duty in the South Pacitic as a public relations and personnel otiicer. Norman re— turned to New York Mills and served as super- intendent until june. 1949. His work with the Alumni Association will be bringing him into contact with Alumni friends— old and new.

Dr. Bernhard Christensen The Homecoming Committee has chosen a strik- ingly appropriate motto for our 1949 Augsburg Homecoming. Step by step down the years we have been working together both on the Campus and beyond it, to achieve true progress in Christian edu- cation at Augsburg. This year as we welcome the Homecomers, they will surely see our "Progress Made Manifest” in the external aspects of building Augs- burg. The Science Hall stands complete, beautiful, inviting to study and teaching, inspiring in its mes- sage even to the casual passerby. It is our prayer and our endeavor that the inward intellectual and spirit- ual progress may be a worthy counterpart of the outward! Also in the Alumni work there has been steady progress down the years. We thank Rev. Anderson for his many years of devoted service and for the strong Christ-centered emphasis he has consistently given. We welcome Mr. Hanson into our midst, and extend good wishes to him as he carries on, even though with more limited time devoted directly to Alumni work. A warm “Welcome Home” to every returning Alumnus and friend! May your visit to the old-new Augsburg Campus bring you renewed inspiration to live and to serve in the true Augsburg spirit wherever you are.

He has faithfully performed his duties for the past ten years and is well known by all the grads of Augsburg. “Andy” states that he treasures his contacts and wants to continue them from behind the scene. The entirety of last year was spent by him in full-time service in the Alumni office, where much of his time was consumed in soliciting for the Fos-- se Memorial F u n d. During his years in office he has actively worked for the steady growth of an effective Alumni organ- ization and an ever-increasing Augsburg Fellowship Foundation. REV. ANDERSON We know that members of the Alumni Association join with this oflice in extending our thanks and appreciation for the fine work done by Rev. Anderson over these many years.

A glance at the varied vocations of some of last year's students reveals a wide geograph- ical separation as well. Of all the teachers John Almquist is probably tra- veling the farthest to his school—he will teach sci- ence in Nome, Alaska. Practically all the fields of teaching are repre- sented: Liz Falconer will teach English at Sauk Rap- ids; Butch Johnson is head coach at Dassel; George Dahl at New Ulm and Harold Dalland at Worthing- ton will teach mathematics; Esther Tungseth is com- mercial teacher at Milaca; Lyla Larson will teach science and music at Evansville and Carol Brekken will have science and physical education at Mora. (Incidentally, both Goertzens will be at Jackson—— Delna teaching English and Louis teaching math). Carol Johnson is going into state social service work. Don Peterson is with the Hardware Mutual Insurance Company. Leiv Kvamme will be studying medical technology at Tulane University while Lillian Ysteboe and Elea- nor Ose take the two-year med. tech. course at Dea- coness Hospital. Also at Deaconess, in nurses' train- ing, will be Beverly Nystuen, Carolyn Olson and Alice Peterson. and consecration for the building in which we are to work and teach and learn. Way up in the tower the prayer chapel is another quiet place—the one place that will remain quiet. The dark cross stands out against the lighter wood paneling around it, the light falls softly through the glass brick panel, the chapel is waiting . . . Looking Toward the New School Year (Continued from page i) As I write these words I am just leaving for a week of teaching at the Bible Camp at Lake Shetek. That suggests specifically how very many of our students and faculty have been active in various types of Christian work this summer. Yet in (he deeper, truer sense all the work of Christians is "Christian work.” May the activities of all of our Augsburg people, during both summer and winter, be worthy of this high name! Welcome back in September! —Bernb¢rrd Christensen Changes For Fall . . . The campus will be quite a different looking place this fall. Main has been getting a new paint job and there'll be some new ofices on first floor. The library has expanded into the space the chem labs used to have. It won't be long before Old Main will be just a hole in the ground (not even that for by September it'll be just another green spot to the Freshmen, a place of pleasant memories for upper classmen). There'll be new faces around the campus, too (be- sides those of the freshmen, that is!) Quite a number of additions have been made to the teaching staff. Rev. Paul G. Sonnack, an Auggie grad of ’42 (Seminary grad of ’45) will be back as instructor in religion and church history. He has been doing grad- uate work at the University of Chicago for the past two years on the George Sverdrup Graduate Fellow- ship. Mr. Irving Wallace is coming from the University to become assistant professor of business administra- tion. He is not exactly a stranger since he taught two summer sessions at Augsburg. Mr. Raymond Anderson, a U of M grad who has been teaching at the University of Vermont, will be an instructor in speech. Miss Margaret Klinner is the new instructor in home economics. A graduate of Stout Institute, she has been head of the home economics department in the Bemidji High School for the past two years. Mr. 0. Herbert Lindquist, instructor in physics and mathematics, graduated from Iowa State College at Ames. Another Auggie (class of '47), Mr. Henry Bert- ness will be the instructor in education. After a year of graduate work at the U of M he taught at Tacoma, Washington. Mr. John Hanson, Auggie grad of '48, will instruct in history and philosophy. Last year he did graduate work at the University. Mrs. Ruth Ziemann comes from Mankato High School to instruct in secretarial science. She is a Lu- ther College graduate. Miss Lois Fritz will be the instructor in physical education for women. A graduate of the University of Nebraska, she taught last year at St. Olaf. Four of last year's senior class members have also joined the staff—Paul Roth as assistant in chemistry; Merideth Foss, library assistant; James Bueide, assist- ant in public relations; and Kenneth Sorenson, man- ager of music organizations.

July [2, at the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees, a brief "Opening Service" was held in the Science Hall. thus ushering in the actual use of our new building. Some finishing touches still remain, on acmunt of the current strike, but these do not inter- fere with our be- ginning work there. All our hearts filled with grati- tude both to God and to thousands of friends of Augs— burg, that we can b e g i n t h e n e w school year in this wonderful setting! On August 1 the work of razing Old Main will begin. With its removal we shall really have completed the first major milestone in the transformation of our campus. In outward appearance it will be almost a different Augsburg that greets the returning students this fall. But the inner spirit and program remains the same, only strengthened for better service by quite a number of additional teachers. (A list of new faculty members is given on page 3). During the summer a host of workers, both reg- ular staff members and others, is being kept busy with activities connected with moving into the new building, and with the attendant adjustments and renovations in other places. Likewise committees, of both the faculty and the students, are planning the new year's program, curricular and extra-curricular. are DIt. Bumuxn CHRISTENSEN Under Mr. I’autz' direction a \igorous program of student recruitment is being carried on from the Public Relations Office. Rev. Anderson is pushing forward the Fosse Memorial drive. And far-reaching plans are being developed to complete the payment of the cost of Science Hall by next spring. In all this activity we are mindful that "Except the Lord build the house, they labor in \ain that build it." Our plans and efforts are of little avail if the Spirit of the Lord does not crown the year with His goodness. Let us all, therefore, wherever we are scattered, be united in spirit and prayer that God may grant us a new year filled with His blessings. I want to extend a special Word of welcome to the new students who will be enrolling this fall. \V'e are looking forward to your coming to Augsburg. and know that your matriculation in college will mean an exciting period of life for you. A warm Augsburg welcome to each one! (Continued on page \) l Hello And Welcome to Augsburg \Ve thought you might be interested in what's happening on the Augsburg campus this i summer. And, since the time to think about getting back to school is not too far distant, we wanted to say "Hello——and welcome."
