HOMECOMING (Cont. from p. 5) must all be reminded of the men who, more than any other, were responsible for the establishment of the school on a firm basis. And so another Homecoming passed into history. Possibly in the future. Augsburg friends may mark it as one of the most significant of her anni- versaries. There were present few perhaps who were not solidly in agree- ment with the statement of Pastor John A. Houkom: “This . . . does not mark a terminal point of Augsburg’s history.

Augsburg has trained men and women for positions in all walks of life, but the work of Rolf Harbo is unique in character from that of any of her alumni, for he is head of the Division of Criminal Statistics, the Department of Justice, Washington, D. C. ~ Mr. Harbo was born in Duluth on March 5. 1902. He was graduated from Augsburg Academy and entered the college department in the year 1918 at the age of sixteen. While at school he was very active in band work and toured with the band for several years, playing the comet. He was also very interested in basketball activities. He was graduated in 1922 with a B. A. degree. A few years later he obtained his Master’s degree at the University of Minnesota. After acting as Superintendent of Schools at Buffalo, North Dakota, for seven years, he entered the University of Minnesota Law School. Following his completion of the law course, he passed an examination to the Department of Justice. He has been with the F. B. I. since 1932. . The division with which Mr. Harbo is departmental head deals with crimi- nal statistics, including the photographs and fingerprints of criminals from the entire United States. Complete information of each individual is recorded and'filed. Mr. Harbo is on call for the department twenty-four hours a day. It is said that Edgar Hoover knows exactly where any of his agents are at any hour of the day or night. ' Because the work of the F.B.l. is comparatively new, several of the agents devote a greater part of their time to the promoting of interest in the de- partment. Mr. Harbo has travelled constantly during the past three years into every state, familiarizing the public with the bureau and also appearing asha government witness at trials. The F.B.I. has in its employ members from every profession, but the greater number of them are lawyers such as Mr. Harbo. The agents must pass rigid examinations for entrance and aside from being educationally trained, they must be in perfect physical condition. In order to keep fit, regular gymnasium work is required. , As for future plans—Mr. Harbo has always cherished the idea of a private law practice, but because he enjoys his work with Uncle Sam’s F.B.I., he doubts that this plan will materialize for some time. —From the Augsburg Echo.

In the presence of hundreds of friends of Augsburg, in the gathering twi- light of a beautiful November day, Dr. T. O. Burntvedt spoke the solemn words of consecration, “. . . to the glory of God and the welfare of our fellow men. . . ." It was Augsburg’s seventieth anniversary. It was a time to celebrate; it was a time to dedicate; it was a time to face the challenge of this new day. Pastor Asmund Oftedal of Spokane, Wash., preached the Homecoming ser- mon in the morning of Dedication Day. Then in the afternoon the Rev. John A. Houkom, president of the Board of Trustees, unfolded the story of the movement which resulted in the building of the new dormitory, tracing its beginning back to the idea of a “Greater Augsburg," presented at the Golden Jubilee celebration held twenty years earlier. Dr. George Sverdrup, the speaker pointed out, became the driving force of the new venture. He gave himself unreservedly to the task until his death in 1987, and with that impetus, and the forceful leadership of Dr. T. 0. Burn- tvedt, who was chosen to direct the project to its completion, the task was completed. It remained for Dr. Bumtvedt, president of the Lutheran Free Church, in his dedicatory address to bring the audience to the high point of the entire celebration. Dr. Burntvedt stated that Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall will stand for several things: 1. As God's answer to our prayers. 2. As a testimony of the loyalty of the friends of Augsburg. .- 8. As a testimony of their loyalty to the ideals of education for which Augsburg stands. _ ' 4. As a declaration of faith in Augsburg’s future and a challenge to faceiit. Professors H. N. Hendrican and Andreas Helland each made real con- tributions to the festivities, the former at the Homecoming banquet, and the latter in a fellowship luncheon. About 360 attended the banquet and bean) how every trial in Augsburg's history had really brought a blessing in that) it brought Augsburg friends into closer fellowship with God, who is able to satisfy every need. At the fellowship luncheon guests were those who had served on special committees for the dormitory. Tethem and a large‘num: ber of others, Professor Holland gave reminiscences of his experiences with the two men for whom the dormitory is named. It was a hallowed and low: to-be-remombered moment when he, on behalf -of former students of the two, teachers, presented portraits of Sverdrup and Oftedal, which were unveiled fox-i all to see. These portraits will hang permanently on the south wall of the? dining hall so that future students and visitors (Continued on page 8)§ 5 Augsburg Alumni Bullsz Show less

Remember, it costs money to print the Alumni Bulletin! $1630 From the Class of 1939 Augsburg's College class of ’39 will do their part to See that their Alma Mater’s building program does not cease with erection of Memorial Hall. Forty-one members of the last graduating class signed non-interest bearing promisory notes, payable over a period of five years and totalling $1,630. The money is to go to the Building Fund. It is hoped that future graduating classes will take similar action in coming years so that the loyalty of the Class of ’39 will bear much more fruit than the personal contributions of the individuals concerned. Not a few members of the College Class of ’31 made similar pledges when they graduated, but last year’s class was the first to contribute on so gen- eral a scale. Fellow Alumni: Now and again reports of good work on the part of Augsburg teaching graduates come to us. Now and then we receive reports of promotions, dif- ficult as these are to secure in these days even when well earned. The Placement Bureau can report no startling record in its work the past year, though our record is as good as the average of the other agencies. It has been a poor year for placing teachers. I should personally be pleased to receive news about teachers, whether it be in regard to promotions or other experiences. I am interested in knowing about that summer session at the University of North Dakota, that trip to Yellowstone Park. and that plunge into the matrimonial sea. Good wishes for a happy year in 1940!

Augsburg students employed on the National Youth Administration work program at Augsburg receive $557 per month. The State Student Aid pro- gram also furnishes $65 a month, and a large number of students are em- ployed directly by the College for janitorial, dining-hall, and other work on the campus.

Marius Dixen ADVISORY COUNCIL: Mr. John Blegeu Professor S. 0. Severson Dr. Bernhard Christensen Alumni Oiflce, Augsburg College and Seminary, Minneapolis. Minnesota, January 1, 1940. Hello Grads! As you will gather from reading this bulletin, the Seventieth Anniversary Homecoming went a long way beyond being just a noteworthy event. So many things of vital significance were packed into those few days! But the days of this Homecoming are now quite some time past and, though we are happy for and cherish them. we step forward (I almost wrote “leap") with them as our starting point. It is probably true that the alumni organizations in many of our colleges and universities exist more in name than in concrete manifestations of their existence. It is probably equally as true that Auggie alumni don't want that statement made of them—because they feel their organization is a living thing, functioning actively in the interests of Augsburg. Last year you recall the “Eight Points of Action” which served as the basis for the Alumni Association’s work; and they were carried through in line style. The program this year is not outlined in so many points. but there are several things which the members of the Executive Committee and Alumni Advisory Council have talked about during their luncheon meetings that should be passed on to you for your consideration. One of them is mentioned in this letter—right now. It was proposed that the Alumni Association sponsor a Fellowship (or Scholarship)—each year to be awarded an especially meritorious Augsburg graduate wishing to do graduate study. Such a fellowship, of a sum not stated but recommended not less than $200, would have a number of exceedingly desirous results. It would, for instance, provide a very real chance (which might not otherwise offer itself) for the chosen graduate to continue study in his field. Surely it would be a stimulus for higher academic achievement here at Augsburg, and thus there would be a gradual raising of the academic standards of the entire school. . . . And so on. There are any number of such implications. Augsburg Alumni Bulletin , 2 Show less

When the Alumni Association needed an Executive Secretary, he was chosen, and had an important part in the successful drive for building Memorial Hall. The Lutheran Free Church Publishing Company last summer selected - Mr. Abner Batalden to manage its business. From all reports things are humming at the Cedar Avenue plant.

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.

Norman Hanson. class of 1934. has been ap- pointed acting executive secretary of the Greater Alumni Association of Augsburg College. He suc— ceeds Norman C. Anderson who has returned to full time teaching responsibilities. Norm graduated from high school in New Lon- don, Minnesota. 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. Because of his experience in school ad- ministration, Norm will be devoting a portion of his time to student admissions. I am sure that all alumni are happy to have a man of Norman's organizational and administrative background in the new Alumni otlices, and will give him whole-hearted cooperation in all phases of the Work. so that the Alumni Asso- c.ation may make an increasingly effective contribu— tion to Christian education.

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! I am sure that everyone who attends this program- will agree with me that it will he the beginning of a fine year at Augsburg within the Music De- partment. Professor Opseth is back with the Choir! 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

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.

Federation Elects There was no question that former Augsburg students would predominate on the new slate of ofiicers for the Lutheran Free Church Luther League Federation elected recently at Medicine Lake. Every nominee except Prof. H. P. Opseth and Ardis Hermundslie was a former student. Prof. Opseth is an honorary alumnus too. The following were chosen: Dr. John Stensvaag, pres.; Pastor Erling Tungseth, v. p.; John Quanbcck. and v. p.; Cather- ine Mork, sec.; Ardis Hermundslie, treas.; Phyllis Erickson, Pocket Testament League sec.; Prof. Opseth, Choir director; Pastor Harry Sorenson, Choir president. Over 400 of the delegates enjoyed an eleven-bus tour of the Twin Cities spon- sored by Augsburg's public relations de- partment. A high point was the stop at the dining hall where the entire group crowded in to drink “cakes” and listen to a short program.
