QEunturbia gaotietp When we of today—the theological students, who constitute the membership of Concordia—think back to our pioneer brothers, who long ago organized this society and gave it life and purpose, we can not but be aware of the significance of the name they gave it. 'Concordia symbolizes the source of concord, agreement, and unity of feeling and Interest. ’Surely the founders of our society must have been keenly conscrous of the Vital value of concord in Christian living. “Behold how yood and [zlcamnt it is For brethren to dwell togel/Ier in unity.” What should be more precious and natural than true fellowship among‘the brothers of our Savior, Jesus Christ? This is the fruit we seek to gather from our SOCletY’S activity. That by coming together about common problems and in united Sympathy we might better appreciate and love that work, the Master has designated for each of us to do. We have of late endeavored to extend our contacts with former members of the Concordia, Who are now out in the active work—that work in which we anticipate a part. To attain this we have sought to share the experiences of our pastors by having them come to Augsburg and lecture to us on the many practical problems they meet with in their ministry. ‘ Thus do we hope to receive the larger blessing of an extended fellowship. A fel< IOW‘Sal that God can bless, use, and keep as His own concordia—a society of brothers, one in Him, §B§E§E§E§E§E§3§Z§E§Z§E 1927 1928 §E§E§E§E§E§E§E§E§E§E§Z Pay: 24 Show less

The efficient toast master gave a very complete survey of the course and impressed the astounded lis- teners with the fact that the grad- uates had thoroughly mastered the intractable science of gastrology. The majority of the degrees pre- sented was that of Magister Gar- con, and to one was given the title Magister Domestique, who had “practiced the practical application of table arrangement and had also served as food analyzer and con- sultant dietician in the Culinary Department.” Mr. Buster Larson was the only one who could qualify for the de- gree as Master of Home Economics cum summa laude. Con dolore the graduating class chanted in harmonious strains the praises of the Gastronomical De- partment of Augsburg.

The date has not been definitely settled, but it is thought that it will be held on the fifth of June. All of the parents of the incin- bers of the Senior Class will be entertained during the afternoon and evening and will be guests at an informal lunch in the evening. This will give the parents a chance to become better acquainted with each other, and with the members of the class. We have every reason to hope that this first Mother’s and Dad’s Day will be a success and hope that it may become traditional at Augsburg. Reader Proves “Powerful KatrinkaH Madelia, Minn., April 12, 1928.—- “Duds” Jacobsen, reader with the Augsburg Choral Society, proved herself a veritable “Powerful Kat- rinka” when she pulled out the light fixtures as she was trying to turn out the lights in her room here, after the concert.

Seated—Mclnerny, Berg, Hostager, Coach Skurdalsvold, Hanson (Capt), Erdahl, Tjon. @ym 013mm The' Gym Team, the oldest athletic organization at Augsburg, has been making remarkable strides in recent years. Since Magne Skurdalsvold ‘became coach three years ago, great progress has been made on the various apparatus. Mr. Skurdalsvold was formerly captain of the University of Minnesota Gym Team and is the greatest gymnast the Northwest has ever produced. Unlike the other athletic activities, the Gym Team does not receive much publicity. All the work is done behind closed doors and an occasional exhibition is the only evidence that the Gym Team exists. But. this does not minimize the benefits of gymnastics. A well—rounded man must have perfect coordination of brain and muscle and in no other sport is this developed to so great an extent as it is in gymnastics. No other organization functions duringr the entire school year. The members, there- fore, are in good physical condition during the whole school term. Up to the present time there has been no inter—collegiate competition in gym— nastics. That is a thing to be hoped for. If a college conference were formed on the same basis as the other major sports, Augsburg would be well represented. Com- petition between the colleges would arouse the enthusiasm of the students and cause more to take part. At present there are entirely too few who reap the benefits of this interesting sport. Under the able leadership of Coach Skurdalsvold, great things may be expected from the Gym Team in the future. Let us hope that the Gym Team will be the largest athletic organization on the campus. “The greater the obstacle the more glory in overcoming it."—l\/IOLIERE. wwwflwwwflfigwfig 11927 l928 smmzsasasamama Page 90 Show less

It is composed of members from Minnesota and Iowa. Although the ambitions and the aspirations of the class are varied, yet it has become imbued with the Augsburg spirit, which is the spirit of progress. As we progress through the two remaining years, we hope to develop that spirit, and work for the welfare of the school and its ideals. Then, too, there is the hope, or the vision of a college course. This acts as an incentive to spur us on to attain to that which will enable us to understand life a little better. We realize that school is but a part of life’s highway, but we wish to make the most of it. Each year sees our ideal a little closer, but at the end of the year, We also see the pathway of this earthly life greatly diminished. Realizing this, we are spurred to do all that is within our power for some worthy cause. If we succeed only to the extent that we have ability, then we shall not have lived in vain. §E§E§E§E§Z§Z§E§B§E§E§B 1927 1928 @fiflfifififififigfififigfigfififi Page 41 Show less

Most “Auggies,” especially those who are graduates, have the interest of their Alma Mater at heart, but because many live so far away, it is rather difficult to keep in close touch with her. The Alumni Asso— ciation meets once a year, but it is discovered that only those who live near the Twin Cities attend these annual gatherings. About a year ago the oflicers of the Alumni Association sent a circular letter to all the graduates suggesting the organization of local Augsburg Clubs. We do not know whether or not the idea was favorably received by all, 'but in the Twin Cities, at least, it resulted in the organization of the Twin City Augsburg Club. The organization has only functioned since late last fall, but has succeeded in being of some service to our Alma Mater. A tentative program has been outlined, and it will be possible to carry this out to a certain extent. It is of course obvious that being at the center, it has better opportunities to be in close touch with all the various activities at Augsburg. Its primary purpose is of course to boost Augsburg and to make Augsburg better known. Although Augsburg has been located in Minneapolis for over 50 years, it is a sad fact that she is but little known outside of her immediate constituency. One of the objects of the Club is to make use of such publicity as will let the people in general know what Augsburg is, what she has accomplished, and what her future needs are. This Club purposes to be in close touch with the student body. It is necessary that the young folks be made to feel at hOme among our people here, so they may associate with them in their church and social life. It also has its eye on the needy student. Many are those who desire a college education but cannot get One because of lack of funds. This Club is in position to assist such young folks in getting part-time employment which will make it possible for them to pursue their studies. It also contemplates the establishment of a fund from which worthy students may borrow money at a reasonable rate of interest. In our modern school life, athletics play an important part, and this Club is in- terested in this department, encourages clean sports, and supports the various teams that engage in competition with teams from other schools. It wants to have a hand in maintaining the high standard of sportsmanship that has been established at Augs- burg. This Club is, at least, a beginning of something that should, perhaps, have been begun about 25 years ago; but what is being done, or attempted to be done, here in the Twin Cities may be done to a greater or lesser extent in any community where there reside a number of graduates and former students from Augsburg. It is to be hoped that within another year there will be many similar clubs in the various sections of our country. CLAUs MORGAN. umuuufiauuu 1927 1928 uuuuwmwu Page 67 Show less

The work of the Oles was remarkable, and we were defeated. The remaining games were won. The final game rolled around, defeat meant a tie for the championship, victory meant undisputed championship. The game kept the spectators in a continuous uproar. The score was tied seven times and changed hands thirteen times. The battle itself can hardly be described, but suffice it to say that it was a real game! It resulted in the championship. The man behind the team who deserves the credit is Coach “Si” Melby, whose motto is “Teamwork.” This is the very essence of the “Auggie” spirit and with that spirit we win. sauesasasasasasasaa 11927 1928 §E§E§E§E§E§E§E§E§E§E§E Page 34 Show less

In the first minute of play Oscar Hanson made a solo down the ice to score. Joe Hanson was high point man with three goals to his credit. Cole starred for St. Olaf. Augsburg Loses First Game to St. Olaf, l4-7' Almli Shines for the Northfielders Minneapolis, Sept. 30.—In a thrilling battle with the traditional rival, Augsburg bowed in defeat to the St. Olaf football team, 14-7, in the opening game of the season, Sept. 30. Augsburg outplayed the Oles but did not take advantage of the breaks. “Dots” Rasmussen made the Auggie touchdown. St. Olaf played better ball in pinches, there- fore deserved the victory. Almli played a fine game for the Viking squad. Drama He looked at the pistol—the end was near at hand and he sighed. Ah, if it could only last longer. Time passed, and the faces around him grew hazy; he looked at the watch, hardly realizing that in a few moments it would all be over. He grinned and raised the pistol, his finger pressed the trig- ger—BANG. The game was over, and the shot prevented the op- ponents from getting another score to tie the game.———Anon.

Show moreusesasasasasasa THE AUGSBURGIAN fifigfifiggfififigfififififi gtbularship The college student of today is called upon to apportion his time among many different activities. The intelligent division of this time largely determines the value of his college education. There exists on every college campus those students who believe that text—books and laboratory manuals together with class room lectures, constitute the one and only unit of campus activities. They ply themselves diligently to the mastery of these, failing to recognize the value gained from participation in other fields. Then there are those students Who follow the other extreme and over- value extra-curricular activities, but the college students who merit the admiration and respect of the student body and the faculty are thOSe who aim at a. high scholastic record and reasonable participation in other activities. The class of 1927 has expressed its desire to encourage the latter type of students and also to foster a high standard of scholarship among the students, by presenting to the college a silver trophy cup. The trophy is awarded on the basis of scholastic record as determined by the Registrar and the President of the College. Any student in good standing and who has attended Augsburg at least two full years is eligible for competition. The first name to be engraved upon the cup is that of Miss Dagny Jacobsen. Miss Jacobsen has been the type of student described in the first paragraph. Her primary aim has ‘beeen thorough and satisfactory scholastic work, yet she has recognized her duty to the school by supporting it in its other fields of activity as well. sasswsasasasasasasa 1927 1928 sasaaasasaeasasrsasa Page 94 Show less

(Eth Following the trend of modern journalism in the colleges throughout the country, the Echo adopted its present newspaper form three years ago. The» monthly magazine type of publication had outgrown its power of appeal. The ’bi-weekly ushered in a new era of interest and enthusiasm. The cry of the students was for news, more. news, fresh news, a greater variety of news. The old order of things could not supply this up-to-date demand. The new experiment was watched with keen interest and perhaps some doubt as to its value as a “literary medium.” Undaunted, how- ever, by the pessimism of some, the first staff launched out on the uncharted sea of present day journalism with faith that the venture would be a success. The work of succeeding staffs has been a confirmation of this faith. Comparing the first issues with those now published will show tremendous ad- vances in this field of student endeavor. The variety of material printed in each issue meets the requirements of what a college paper ought to be. Constant changes and improvements, however, are being made to maintain a high standard, reflecting every phase of school life. The Echo was admitted this year as the Delta Chapter of the Iota Chi Sigma National Journalistic Fraternity. The aim of the present staff is to publish a six column bi-weekly next year. As the student body increases in number, the result will be a weekly publication—per- haps possible in the near future. The Echo has sought to portray life as it is lived at Augsburg in all its varied phases—v—tlhe spiritual, intellectual, social, musical, and athletic. This has been its task. figfifigfifififlgfigfifiwfifififi 1927 11928 sausasamsasasasasa Page 45 Show less

It is with sincerity and enthusiasm that we join with our fellow students in singing: “We love the school where we belong, we love to sing its praise.” Enthusiasm evokes action! We have been eager to cooperate with the student body in building up the ideals and traditions of Augsburg. With this interest in mind, We have taken part in the various phases of school life. In athletics, we are able to claim a share in making that activity a success. Other members of the class have contributed their talents in musical and literary organizations. Through these activities, we have endeavored to prove that the spirit of Augsburg is vital in our lives, as it has been to those who have gone before us. To say that we are enjoying the college life at Augsburg is suflicient, for we have found more than that which we commonly expect to find in college; we have found a deeper significance, a fellowship, that is obtained only through the under- standing of the aims and problems of this institution. §E§E§E§Z§Z§E§E§Z§E§E§E 1927 1928 uuuuuuuuuuw Page 34 Show less

Zintermehiate wheeling? “He that findeth his life shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.” It is said that we are living in a materialistic age. Many build their life’s phil- osophy on things material. These we call materialists. Their sole aim in life is the attainment to material prosperity; to them that is the very essence of living. They have not learned that true success is found only when we seek first the King- dom of God. There is, however, another class of people, of which we like to consider ourselves a part, who realize that life is more than food and raiment. They look into the future. They have learned, through Christ, to see life’s realities. They have ex- perienced the truth of this, to the world paradoxical statement, that “he that findeth his life shall lose it, and he that loseth his life for Christ’s sake shall find it.” They seek first the Kingdom of Heaven, confident that all else will be added unto them. Having yielded themselves to the Truth, it has molded their lives. Because we have realized the truth of these words of Christ in our own lives, we are studying theology. We know that men are constantly being confronted with choices with which the world is trying to blind them as to life’s true values, its eternal values. We are here at school preparing ourselves that we might be better fitted to go out into the world and point people to Christ that they might choose Him, and that we might present Christ in such a way that men may seek and find Him. If we succeed in doing this then we know that our lives have not been lived in vain, for we know that if people lose themselves in Christ Jesus, then they have found the true life, that which will last eternally in living communion with Him.
