MINN “As one sees the Minnehaha Clean ins. glancing through the branches. As one hears the Laughing H aters From behind its screen of branches.” — 6 — The Student’s Responsibility. I he good name of a school lies largely in the hands of its students. Generally speaking, the students reflect the character and the work of the school fairly accurately. At any rate the majority of those who have formed an opinion of a school, have formed it on the basis of their knowledge of the students who have come from that school. 1 he people are right in judging thus. The results of a school’s work must show itself in its students. There is no other place where it can show itself. The importance of a first impression is evident. If the first impression of a person is bad. it takes a great deal to change it; if it is good, the second and third impressions, if bad. are excused. And what is still more to the point, often there is only one im- pression. and the judgment stands at that. 1 he student coming into contact with people gives them an impression of himself personally and also of the school. He who has a right respect for himself, wishes to win the respect of those about him. A good student wishes to have a good opinion of his school spread abroad. I he student’s responsibility rests just here, that in his conduct and life he show earnestness and sincerity, so that he may win the confidence of those who come into contact with him. and that at the same time he sets the good name of his school high in the opinion of the people. By appreciating rightly this responsibility, more can be done towards drawing new students to the school than by any other means. The student who knows that he has been benefited by his stay at school, would like to see others have the same opportunity. Let him point the way.

Every alumnus of our beloved institution will, we hope, be bound together more firmly into Augsburg’s brother- hood as this unpretentious volume is issued from time to time. And that is what Augsburg needs: a united body of active and aggressive Augsburgians. We ought to fall in line to a man and work for new equipment, a new dormitory, and more students. We Augsburgians must help make our school progress so as to meet the best demands of a live, twentieth century young man seeking a good education. We should in our various walks of life cultivate an interest for study at Christian institutions, so that our students will soon number four hundred at this school. A glance at the faces and places you were accustomed to see daily will bring back many fond reminiscences of happy days at Augsburg. There are faces of real men among them, men to whom you owe a debt of gratitude because consciously or uncon- sciously your life was influenced by them for good. We hope that this first volume will be but a herald of better ones to come. As years pass and time rolls on and each succeeding volume brings the news that the brotherhood of Augsburgians is growing larger, may they bring back to you. dear Alumnus, favorite thoughts.—thoughts of peace, happiness, and aspiration.

All students registered in the College department are members of the Alpha Sigma Debating Society. Meetings are held regularly every first and third Monday evenings of the month, the English and Norwegian languages being used alternatively. The purpose of the society is to promote the art of public speaking among the students, and to give them a practical training in oratory, independent of the language department of the school. The customary program consists of a debate on some live question, preceded and followed by musical numbers, both instrumental and vocal. At times various forms of political and scientific discussions are introduced to acquaint the students with the man- ner of procedure at trials of law and community meetings. The election of officers for the school-year 1915-1916 was conducted in the form of a political campaign, the can- didates being chosen on their merits in supporting their sentiments in regard to the Woman Suffrage question. The society, besides rendering invaluable aid to the English and Norwegian de- partments, has caused an altruistic and public-minded spirit to be fostered in the minds of the students. Many of its members have entered public life, and several have at- tained high positions in the political world. B. A. H. The Lyceum Debating Society. The Lyceum Debating Society is composed of all members of the third and fourth preparatory classes. The constitution of this society provides for regular meetings every Monday evening, from seven to nine o’clock, except the first and last Mondays of each month. The meetings arc conducted alternately in the English and Norwegian lan- guages. It is the aim and purpose of this society to give the students experience in public speaking. The debaters must prepare their own speeches and rely solely upon their own resources and ability. This work arouses a fighting and conquering spirit which is so necessary to their future work in life, in whatever line it may be. T. Q. The Forward Literary Society. The Forward Debating Society draws its membership from the two lower classes of the Preparatory department. The aim is to cultivate self-expression and practice in public speaking. The society is also for the purpose of acquainting the members with the rules of order and the conducting of business meetings. Meetings are held semi-monthly. Popular and live questions are subjects for the debates. The Concordia Society. The Concordia Society consists of all the theological students at the Seminary. The society meets every Monday evening, except the first and last Monday af each month. The meetings are held alternately in the English and the Norwegian languages. This society is the oldest society at school. The constitution was drawn up by the theological students in 1890. The aim and purpose of this society is to create among the students a desire for a deeper knowledge of the Scripture; hence it has chosen as its motto: Examining the Scriptures daily, whether these things were so.” (Acts 17, 11.) Furthermore it aims to familiarize the students with parliamentary rules and laws, and to give those who partake in debates and discussions a training in public speaking. A society of this kind is not of any value to a student unless he contributes some- thing to make it a success. It is the one who has contributed, that has gotten the most benefit, and if the students will do something in the future, as they have in the past, “Concordia” will continue to live. C.

In the Fall of 1915 th6 Augsburg Mission Society felt that it should like to do some definite work here at home in addition to supporting native workers abroad. The rescue mission work seemed to be an attractive field, full of 'opportunities, and varied experiences and also one that our people have neglected. Accordingly, we decided to take up such work, but the questions of “where?” and how?” and several others came between us and the realization of our plan. While these questions were being decided, we took part in the work of the “Volunteers of America” until we got our own mission. The first week of January we moved into our own quarters, a shabby looking building, almost uninviting. By judicious use of lumber, paint and hot water, the place was made to look quite respectable. The people of the Free Church congrega- tions of the city have been liberal in supporting us, both, by contributing money for pay- ing rent and by taking part in the meetings. At present we have meetings three evenings each week and occasionally four evenings. Every student present has something to do; one leads, one plays the organ, one is usher at the door, one speaks, and eight or ten others compose the street squad,” whose duty it is to invite men to come in. The meeting opens with a song service, then a season of prayer and testimony, a few more songs, a short sermon, and finally personal work,—conversation and prayer. The Lord has blessed our work and has proven to us anew that he who gives shall receive manifold in return, for the work has been a great blessing to the boys who have taken part May the Lord continue to bless the High Street Mission. lumuiMiun ninniinnniinimmHiiifluiiintaitmimiuiiiiiniiiifiiiiHiiin saws wa ggguaaLa B� gg� a aw OFFICERS OF THE BOARDING CLUB.

Noch einmal wen- dcn wir uns zuriick und werfen eincn Blick uber die blaue. in der Morgcnsonne gliin- zende Ostscc, wo die weiszen Mowcn schon mit gcllendcm Geschrei auf und ab stcigcn. Vor uns licgt das wellenfbrmigc, waldbekleidctc Kiistenland. Wir singen noch cinen Vcrs: Der Vbgel Chor jauchzt froh empor im Wald und auf sonningen Hoh’n. Im Morgentau glanzt Wald und Au! Wie ist doch die Welt so schon! Wir setzen die Reise fort. Dic frische Morgcnluft ist sehr erquickend und stimmt den Sinn zum Lobgesang. Dic Tautropfen glitzcrn im Sonnenschcin. Da es noch sehr friih ist begcgnet uns kein Wanderer. Darum konnen wir unsere Gedankcn unzerstort umherstreifcn lassen. Nach einer Weilc fiihrt unser Wcg an einen Hof vorbei. Der schlafrige Knecht lehnt sich an der Stallture und rcibt sich die miiden Augen. Die Magd kommt soebcn mit den Eimcrn und soli dic Kiihe mclkcn. Vor dem Starkasten flotet der schwarze Star sein Morgenlied. Auf dem Diingerhaufen krakt der Hahn. Auch er freut sich des Lebcns. Weil wir radeln sind da viele Kleinigkeiten, die selbst unseren scharfen Augen entgehen; aber darum kummern wir uns nicht. Der mit buschi- gen Wallen eingehegtc Weg geht bald auf, bald ab. Das macht das Radeln natiirlich schwercr; aber weil die Sonnc noch nicht einc auszerordcntlich grosze Hitze herunter- scndet, vertragcn wir es einigermaszen. Mehrerc Kilometer sind zuriickgelegt. Wir machcn Halt, um uns bei einer frischen Quelle zu laben. Wahrcnd wir uns auf dem griinen Rascn sonnen, kommcn etliche Jiinglinge und Jungfrauen angeradelt. Wir griiszen, und fragcn: Wo geht’s hin.' “Nach dem Voldstedt. wo cine religiose Vcrsammlung abgehalten wcrden soli; konnt Ihr nicht mitkommen? war ihre Antwort. Wir bejahten ihre Frage, und bald saszen wir wiedcr auf den Fahrradern. Ungefahr um cin Uhr nachmittags gelangtcn wir zur Static an. Da waren noch nicht viele angekommen. Wir bcnutzen dann dic Zeit um die hcrrliche Gegend zu be- schauen. Der Platz lag bei einem See, wclcher von einem griinen Buchenwald ein- geschlosscn war. Auf den blumigen Waldwiesen weidcten fette Rindcr und geschmei- dige Rche. In den Baumen zwitscherten die Voglein. Wir frcuten uns iibcr die herr- lichc Blumen, die den Waldboden zierten. Um zwci Uhr stimmten die Posauncnbliiscr einen Gesang an, und bald waren alie Zugcreistcn um die vcrzierte Kanzel versammelt. Das Wort lautete in der danischen Sprache, klar und vcrstandlich von einem Missonarc der Schleswig-Holsteinischen In- nere-Mission gcsprochen. Es war wie ein Pfcil der zum Herzen ging. Die Jugend drangte sich immer naher der Kanzel. und jedes Angesicht zeugte von Ernst. Nachher predigtcn mehrere Pastoren, deren Worte nicht von geringerer Kraft waren.

Da wir gestern cine Vcrsammlung uberweilt hatten, wollen wir heute cine Schule besuchcn und zwar eine, die in cinem kleinen Dorfe liegt. Die Schule fangt um sieben Uhr morgens an. und schlieszt ein Uhr nachmittags. So haben sie es im Sommer auf dem Lande eingerichtet, damit die Kinder am Nachmit- tage ihre, Eltern helfen konnen. Sobald wir das friedlichc Dorf erreichen. suchen wir die Schule auf, klopfen an die Tiir, und sogleich tritt ein chrwiirdiger Schulmeister heraus, dcr uns herzlich will- kommt. Sobald wir in die Schulstube eintreten. stchen alle Kinder auf und bleibcn stehen bis dcr Lchrer sie erlaubt sich zu setzen. Das nennt man dcutsche Hoflichkeit. — Kraft des Gcsctzes der Unglcichheit, gedenken wir einer Schule in Amerika. — Mil Freude horen wir die Kinder an. die gut antworten konnen und gute Manicren haben. In der Pause crzahlt uns dcr Lehrer, dasz allcr Unterricht in der deutschcn Sprache vorgeht; doch haben sie auch vier Stunden der Woche, wo die Kinder, die es wunschen. Rcligionsunterricht in der danischcn Sprache bekommen konnen; aber nur wenige sind die es wUnschen. Da wir in der Mittagsstunde eine Hcide auf dem Schlcswig-Holsteinischen Land- riickcn besuchcn wollen, brcchcn wir wieder auf. Zum Abschiede singen die Kinder ein paar deutschc Lieder. die unscr Herz erfreuen. Wir erreichen eine Heide und betrachten mit Erstaunen die wunderbare Herrlich- keit Wir crinnern das Gcdicht von Storm: “Es ist so still; die Heide liegt im warmen Mittagssonnenstrahle, ein rosenroter Schimmer fliegt um ihre alien Grabcrmale; die Krautcr bliih’n; der Heideduft steigt in die blaue Sommerluft.” Niemand kann sich die Herrlichkeit der Heide vorstellcn, der sie nicht selbst ge- sehen hat. In cinem einsamcn, sonnbeschicncnen Haus steht ein Katner. der seine fleiszigen Bienen bcobachtct. Wir reden ihn an und bald hat ein lebhaftiges Gespriich sich ent- wickelt. Er crzahlt uns von dem politischen Zustande in Schleswig. Wir fragen ihn, ob er sich nicht nach Danemark zuriicksehnt. “Oh ja. sagt er. “ich habe eine stille Schnsucht nach meinem altcn Vaterlande; aber bier haben wir es ja auch gut. Wir konnen sehr gut in Frieden leben, wenn wir nur dcr preuszichen Regierung gehorsam sein wollen. Auch haben wir die groszte Freiheit unsere Muttersprache zu benutzen; dasz unsere Kinder deutsch lernen miissen, ist nur gut fur sie. Ein herzliches, “Auf Wicdersehen” wird gesprochen. und wir setzen unsere Reise fort, da wir noch vor Sonnenuntergang die Nordsee erreichen wollen. Das Land ist ziemlich flach geworden. Der Boden is sandig. Das hindert aber nicht das Radeln, wcil die Chausseen gut gepflastert sind. Bald sehen wir in der Feme die grau-griine Nordsee. Ehe wir sie erreichen. kreuzen wir die Marsch, wo grosze Herden grasen. Die Luft ist hier frisch und kiihl. Wir spiiren das nahe Meer. Jetzt stehen wir bereits auf dem hohen Deiche und schauen uber das weite Meer. Die Sonne nickt uns zum Abschiede zu. Wir schlieszen unsere Reise mit dem Ge- sange auf den Lippen: “Goldne Abendsonne, wie bist du so schon! nie kan ohne Wonne deinen Glanz ich sehn. M. C.

However, due to the lack of a larger campus, our activities have been limited to the games and exercises usually found in a gymnasium. Our gymnasium is spacious, and affords room for a good basketball floor. In this sport we have always had teams of comparative collegiate caliber, and each season has found us at the ‘‘long end” of the score. Thorough instruction in gymnastics has resulted in that several of our men have received appointments from the city park board as instructors in the parks. We are very fortunate in having the privilege of using Longfellow field for base- ball practice and games. We have had several good teams; but on account of our short spring term, it is well-nigh impossible to develop a team which would be of credit to this school. Individual “stars” arc very numerous and feats of big league caliber are performed daily upon our little lot; but a machine-like combination is still an affair of the future. Murphy Square is at our disposal for tennis, and our racket men may be seen there any time during the fall and spring months. Recently a tennis- club has been organized and a cup will be awarded to the most nifty wielder of the racket. I he basket-ball team of 1914-15 was undoubtedly the most successful basket-ball team Augsburg has ever had. Of the ten games played, Augsburg won nine, losing only to the sturdy German tribe from St. Paul, Luther Seminary. Concordia defeated Luther twice, Augsburg defeated Concordia twice. Investigators have failed to find the reason for Augsburg’s defeat at the hands of the St. Paul five, and we must consider it an open question. This year’s basket-ball team has labored under many difficulties; but in spite of this fact, we have made a creditable showing. Early in the season we lost two of our best players, Tingclstad and Nesheim, and Quanbeck was also out of the game for some time on account of injuries received in a practice game. Some of the games were cancelled for this reason, and only seven games were played. Of these Augsburg won six. Considerable credit must be given to our second team as a very important factor in bringing about our team’s success. Throughout the season they have been hardy fighters and have often given the first team a “close rub. In the preliminaries we have had the opportunity of witnessing many spectacular plays and shots, and undoubtedly our first squad next season will contain a number of this year’s second string men. One of the recent athletic organizations on our campus is the Tennis Club. For a couple of seasons there has been a growing interest in the game and there are prospects that it will become as prominent as the other branches of athletics. There had been a growing desire for some organization, and. accordingly, several of the players got to- gether and organized. This is the first season of the club’s existence and as soon as the conditions permit, practice will commence in earnest. It is rather doubtful whether any match games will be played with outside teams this spring; but this will be the pur- pose of the club in the coming seasons. Interest in gymnastics at Augsburg has increased a great deal since our instructors have come into contact with work in the local Y. M. C. A., and also after they have served as instructors in the city parks. New “stunts and exercises have been learned from time to time, and thus interest has been very keen in order to keep up with the other organizations. In the fall of 1914, our first “gym” team was organized, and in Feb- ruary. 1915, we gave our first exhibition. This exhibition consisted of a large number of exercises and some apparatus work; besides a few tumbling “stunts”. The feature of the evening was the grand pillow-fight, in which Arthur Olson came out victorious. As a compensation for the multitudinous blows which were inflicted upon him. he received a sweater. At the time of this writing, we have not as yet given this season’s exhibition; but no doubt it will take place some time in the near future. — 60 — Alumni. Wanting but three years of having reached the half century mark, Augsburg has a proud history. It has during that period of time made a singular record of service to the people of the North that took up their abode in this land of freedom. Founded in the early pioneer days of our people in America, Augsburg adopted the ideals of the American governmental principle of “a free people in a free land,” and has thru well- nigh half a century striven to extend and to propagate this ideal as applied also to church. With the banner words a free church for a free people in a free land, its founders strove to liberate the Christian congregation, as well as each Christian indi- vidual, from the fetters of hierarchic ccclcsiasticism and high-churchism. This has not been done unopposed, however. Augsburg has been constant, alive and true to its first principles, and consequently misunderstood and repeatedly bitterly assailed. History has been made and written, but the mention of Augsburg implies nothing less today than at the time of its pioneer days, and its ideals arc loved and cher- ished today by thousands of our people scattered thruout the length and breadth of our land. For recognition in the academic and educational world, a school’s moral influence and Christian ideals are least reckoned with. That Augsburg and kindred schools arc recognized, is not because of the standard of their own ideals, but rather in spite of them. Nor is it the number of students (and Augsburg has not been blessed with great numbers of students), but it is rather the academic ability of these and of the teaching force, and the success of its alumni in practical fields afterwards, that bring about this desired recognition. Augsburg has, however, for a long time enjoyed such recognition as being one of the foremost among the institutions of learning of its own class, and one whose alumni are among the most successful in almost every field of activity. During the forty-seven years of its academic existence, Augsburg has graduated 635 students. Of these 393 have graduated from the theological department, and have exerted great influence in our country thru their gospel ministry. Its 241 college grad- uates have chosen, not only the ministry, but a great number have entered into almost every profession thinkable. Among Augsburg’s Alumni arc men of front rank promi- nence also in the medical, the scientific, the juridic, the political, the educational and the agricultural pursuits. And wherever Alumni af Augsburg are located, their moral influence is felt, due to the inspiration of the tenets of moral ideals received, as taught them during their growth under the care of their Alma Mater. Augsburgers arc the world over. This we consider very significant, and have therefore thru the leaves of the AugsburGIAN dedicated several pages of pictures of Augsburgers in their many capacities thruout the world. The reader will find such from the different parts of the United States and Canada, China, Madagascar, Greece. Palestine, Germany, France, Norway and Denmark. May therefore the pages devoted to the Alumni and this contribution as a whole, bring back to you, dear reader, fond associations and reminiscences from the good old days that you spent within the academy halls of your Alma Mater; may they also con- tribute to making you a better Augsburger and a better Alumnus, alive and true to the principles, the ideals and interests of the institution that nurtured you. — 61 — f cv.Art ) U7' S 0 sen ’ Z 6 AL reoi Sje sefk ’ 5 distri u— t{r} CV r stiun Literature. rij} wood. fa AS Cher. — 62 s E g § m 1 m 3 I B QnniBiajauuimifiuiuMiuifiuiijiiiU! ‘I qns Nilsen Hauge. i takker dig, Hans Nilsen Hauge, For hvad du gjorde for vort folk, Idet du gik mot d dens drauge I Herrens kraft som sandhets tolk Du ofret krafter, gods og hceder.

Det var sent en regntung aften i September 1876, at jcg gik ombord paa trcenet i La Crosse, Wis., og ut paa morgenen den fplgende dag saa jeg Minneapolis for fprste gang. Kommcn til Milwaukee depot, er det om at gjpre at finde veien til Augsburg Seminar; henvender mig derfor til en politibetjent for at faa underretning. Imptekom- mende siger han: Her er cn vogn nctop feerdig til at bringe en ung gut over til semina- riet; det er bedst, du benytter den samme leilighet. Han fplger mig hen til vognen, hvori cn ganske ung gut har tat scete. Han cr en beleven ungdom fra Racine, Wis. Vognen stanser utenfor hovedindgangen til den cervcerdige Augsburgbygning, som da var at kaldc ny, men kaldes nu den gamle bygning.” Vi banker paa, den store dpr aapnes, og vi staar ansigt til ansigt med Augsburgs nye bestyrer, prof. Georg Sverdrup. Han trykker vor haand spprgcnde: Hvem er du. gutten min? “Thorvald Engerud. Og hvem er den ungc mand?” Mil navn er Olav Houkom. “I kom like fra toget nu?” Ja, vi gjorde det. “Ja, Heierman kom for ct par dage siden, han, Houkom; han har tall om, at I pnsker at bo sammen. Vi skal gaa op til hans vcerelse, saa vi faar tale med ham.” Doren er aapen, professoren hilser gomaaren og fortscetter: Du Hei- erman, her har vi Houkom og Engerud fra Racine. De har sittet paa toget hele natten og vil vist like cn vask. Saa faar du ta dem ned i spisesalen, at de kan faa noget at spise, saa skal vi senere sc at finde Engerud et vcerelse. Houkom skal jo dele vcerelse med dig, saa I faar ordne eder saa godt som I kan.” Det var mit fprste mote med prof. Sverdrup og fik med en gang et velgjorendc ind- tryk av hans likefremme og ukunstlede veesen, hvilket i forening med hans ledelse og un- dervisning gjorde ham storre end alle, jeg kjender. Omkring hans lcererstol befandt man sig i den renc, gjennemsigtige luft, hvorigjennem det var mulig at skue indover hans aands vidder, et panorama af solbelyste hoider. hvoriblandt dog en, den der optog midt- partict, i hoide og omfang et berg, som domineret over alt det pvrige og hvis top aldrig visste av soleglad. Det var Guds menighet, som hadde den stprste plads hos ham og behersket alt det skjonne og herlige, som ellers hadde faat rum i hans store og rike sjcel. Som Augsburg selv aldrig har utmeerket sig ved Pkonomisk velstand, saaledes har det ogsaa i almindclighet veeret tilfcelde med dets studenter, iscer i de dage, da de fleste av studenterne var ubemidlet og fra Norge utvandret unge mend. Om vaaren maatte vi dra ut, ofte noksaa lang tid fpr skoleaaret var slut, for at tjene saapas gjennem som- meren, at vi kunde fortscette det nceste skoleaar. Vi var ikke sveert rike. naar vi kom tilbake om hpsten, men glade var vi dog over at kunne sarnies igjen med vore kjeere lcerere og medstuderende. Mange av os mindes nok med taknemlighet, hvorledcs bestyreren mange ganger hjalp os utav knipen ved at la os faa en liten job’ ved skolen. et litet laan eller en gave fra “kassen for treengende studenter,” som var opretholdt ved frivillige gaver fra folket i menigheterne. i — 64 ••• VJ VI' I-or mit vedkommendc aapnct sig en anlcdning lil at fortjenc nogel vcd kontor- arbeide hos prof.

When friend suggested that I write something on “Farming” for the new ap- parition, The Augsburgian” I was strongly tempted to send him a few sheets of commas, question marks, and periods and tell him to fill in with words to his own satis- faction. But following the good old rule to count a hundred before doing anything rash, I presently found myself in a more accommodating mood. It is, however, with considerable hesitancy and some embarrassment that I make my appearance in the select company of the Augsburgians. I imagine I feel something like a minister’s son in a millionaires’ club. Somebody who evidently got me mixed with a relative of Mark Twain hinted that this writing be humorous. No hint was ever more misplaced, for be it known by these words that humor is the one element in my mental makeup that is entirely lacking. It is one of Nature’s caprices thus to deprive some of her children of a most valuable asset to their mental equipment. For in spite of many new teachings and strange theories to the contrary, I am still of the opinion that such characteristics are inherited, not acquired. Farming is the genial occupation of living in the country and raising, for pleasure or profit, corn and smaller grains, potatoes and various kinds of roots and herbs; horses, cattle, hogs and sheep, and numerous other quadrupeds; fowls and other winged crea- tures; also senators, governors, and presidents. This definition of farming is entirely original and is the result of practical knowl- edge gained in the field of experience, and cannot be found in any dictionary or encyclo- pedia yet published. I shall now proceed to relate to you some of the pleasures of farming and the de- lights of outdoor country life. And this is no joke, for I am not in a mood for joking, even if such a thing were possible with me. But now, why, do you suppose. I. who was free to choose any occupation, vocation or avocation in the world, from street- cleaner to president of the United States, should choose this one. farming ? Is it not the best evidence in the world that of all the vocations open to the sons of free America this is the best one? When the doctor takes his own medicine, he proves his faith in his own preparation. Life and living in our time has become to a great extent artificial. Some “hair- brained’’ reformers have from time to time raised a cry of “back to Nature.” Such of course “knew not whereof they spoke ; because the present social organization has reached such a stage that any radical digression from its present course is without the pale of possibility. But now I fear I am straying beyond the limits of the subject before me. It will perhaps surprise some of you whose knowledge is mostly theoretical (and by this I do not in any way intend to reflect on the value, nay even the superiority of theo- retical knowledge) to learn that the farmer is the head of the corner in our present MiiiiiuiiuuiuiauiuuitiniinuiuuitiiiitiiniiiMttiHiituiniiitiiuiiiiiiuiJiuHtiiiiuiuiiiuiuHiiininiiiHiniiiuiiiHiiiiiiHiiiHiuiiiHHitiiituiiiiiiiiHitininuiH — 67 — imtimnrimnniiinifliiiiiniiniiinnninimiinitinniiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiinm | ® « a®35iasua ■a«w� 7a«� gg� ill'� aip| social, industrial, and commercial structure. If I had time and space, I could prove that the above statement is a fundamental truth, an axiom so to speak. It is not neces- sary, however, to such as you, dear readers; for the veracity of my statement will read- ily appear to you who arc students of conditions, as well as of books. But it is not our importance that makes the farm the best place in the world to live on. Nor is it the big returns in dollars and cents on capital and labor invested that makes the life on a farm a joy. No. none of these are the real attractions of the farm. What it is, urban dwellers know nothing of, except in a most vague and distorted man- ner. It is the independence, the freedom, the pure air. the song of the birds, the lowing of the herds, the wide fields or the deep forests,—in short, it is the touch of Nature. I hese are true attractions and such as make the farm a good place on which to be; these arc surroundings that make men; these are conditions from which the nation is drawing fresh blood. Yet, the farmer of to-day lives not on pure air and wide fields alone; he is wide awake and abreast of his times. He knows what is going on in the world about him. Every day he enjoys the latest news; he knows of the progress of the war, the latest wrinkle in the Lusitania affair, the most recent death or capture of Villa, of the Allies’ offensive that starts every spring, of a Congress that says, Yes, yes. Mister Wilson.’’ of what Bryan and Roosevelt will do, the last turn of the Preparedness fad, and other things too numerous to mention. Then perhaps he turns his attention to economics; he knows the commercial world and something about the money market, or perhaps he pays some attention also to international questions and so on; and this is merely a sug- gestion of the farmer’s mental menu. The man with a two foot space around his house, with a ten by thirty-two back- yard. with a street for a front view and a smoke and dirtladen atmosphere for his inspira- tion. ought to take a real vacation from his city confinement and spend it on a real farm and enjoy the difference. Still, I am free to assert, that man has become artificial to such an extent that there are many who would prefer the cooped-up, unsanitary condi- tions of the city to the freedom of the rural community,—just as a bird can be kept in a cage so long that it docs not want to leave it. But the farmer has not beaten his wings against the bars of a cage and he knows how to live out in the open. Every day, in field or forest, among his stock and his fowl, the farmer is in close contact with nature, and when the trees are budding and the fields are sprouting, he hears and knows the whisperings of Nature as she coaxes her wards to don that luxurious garb to which not even Solomon in all his glory could be compared. With his telephone, his automobile, his daily mail and other conveniences, of which his city brother did not dream a few short years ago, the farmer is not an isolated drudge, but a member of a cosmopolitan community, a world citizen. But with all this he has not sacrificed the essentials of that free and natural existence which ought to be the birth-right of every man and woman. Now, if you are a stranger to the pleasant sensations of rural life, these words will be to you a mere suggestion of the real thing; but if you will come out to my farm, somewhere in the United States.” I shall be glad to give you some practical demonstra- tions. and even tho you be from Missouri, you shall be welcome. .

Augsburg Seminary has often been accused of being behind the times with regard to musical and athletic activities. Compared with certain other schools this is true. Her Glee Clubs and Choruses. Bands and Orchestras have not been heralded abroad as those of other schools, nor have they undertaken protracted tours as those of theirs. There have been certain good reasons for not flourishing in this very popular art. It does not necessarily signify that her students are disinterested. She has had good material for excellent orchestras and glee clubs. Many have been deeply and sincerely interested in the art of music. If Augsburg has not been a sun on the musical horizon, the reasons are mainly these: First: The lack of a musical department. Teachers, overburdened with other work, have had also this duty imposed upon them. Secondly: Even tho many have acquired something worth while, still, as long as they have not had the sureness of being theoretically correct, they have been some- what timorous about public performances. What has been lacking to a large extent in the past is self-confidence. Consequently organizations have been created and have just as easily fallen apart. But we believe that Augsburg recently has taken a decisive step. She has taken several steps before. Small organizations have made tours before, but this year—for the first time—the C ec Club, an organization of many years’ standing, has made a tour. This has great importance for the future work of the school, as this organization is not apt to fall apart and will take courage from past experiences to renew them. ! •Brere sraianmwKmm — 80 — xta «ujUMu� a ttauca� gL«.«Jg agaujug� � .ggaa«gg-gJgjftauag.Bguaagg.gaaB: Aftenwde. Hun vokste op hos landhandler Gabriclscn. Begge hcndes foraldrc dode mens hun var i tiaarsaldcren. Faren, som var sjrfmand. kom bort under hjemreisen fra Singa- pore. Nogen maaneder senere bar man ogsaa moren til graven. Man sa, bun ddde av sorg. Saa tok hr. Gabrielsen lillc Margit til sig og opfostret hende som sin egen datter. Men skjdnt Margit Strandeidet var avholdt og altid hadde det godt hos hr. Ga- brielscn, kunde hun dog aldrig glemmc hjemmet og forceldrene. Morens billcde var uutslcttelig praget i hcndes hukommclse, og ofte vandret hendes tanker tilbakc til den tid. da hun glad og munter sprang ut og ind i den lille hytte nede ved stranden. Hun kunde aldrig glemme morens dmme, varme blikke og hcndes kjcerlige formaninger. og de turer som hun og moren tok ut til Kobbeberget om eftermiddagcnc. just for solned- gang — ja. hvor godt husket hun ikkc dem! Dcr ute paa cn lang. flat sten kunde de stundom sitte til langt paa nat og indaande den friske havbris og iagtta turistbaatene som stimet forbi paa vei nordover mot midnatsolcn. Faren var sjelden hjemme. I aarevis kunde ban va re ute paa langrcis, og da sat hun og moren hjemme og leengtet. Blev lcengselen for sterk. gik de ut til Kobbeberget og satte sig paa stenen og saa utover havet. En saadan kveld ute paa Kobbeberget hadde feestet sig i hendes crindring for be- standig. Hun og moren sat som vanlig tcei ind til hinanden paa den gamle lange. (late sten. Havet laa utbredt for deres blik. L«ngsclen efter Ole sved i morens hjerte. Solen begyndte at dale. Sent men sikkert nrermet den sig havranden. Tilslut naadde den havet. Men du for et skjont syn! Havet klcedt i solguld og skyene i rosenrodt! Moren stirret utover med ct drommende blik! “Margit. ser du aftenroden.” hvisket hun om en stund og saa den lille ind i oinene. Margit klpv op paa morens fang og saa utover. Ser du ikke hvor det straaler derute, og hvor rode og fine skyene er? “Jo,” sa Margit. og et smil faldl over hendes ansigt. Moren la kjrerlig sin arm omkring den lilies hals. Slik sat de der paa Kobbe- berget i den lyse sommerkvcld. Men litt efter litt begyndte tusmorket at l«gge sig over oene i skjeergaarden og bredtc sit natlige slor ogsaa over Kobbeberget. Endnu en halv time sat de der om- slynget av hinandens armc og saa ut over havet. Da den sidstc sj0maake slog sig tilro ute paa Tcistholmen gik de hjem. Ti aar var hengaat siden den kveld. og Margit Strandeidet var blit voksen jente. Hun var lys og fager, og alle maatte tilslaa at hun var bygdens skjonhet. Allikevel beholdt hun sit uskyldige barnesind uskadt op gjennem ungdomsaarene. Hun var tro mot morens formaninger. Der var mange av bygdens rike unggutter som gjorde kur til Margit. men ingen fik nogen opmuntring. Rikdom 0vct ingen tiltrrekningskraft paa hende. Men saa cn lys vaarkveld traf hun pladsmandsgutten Knut Nreset, som just var kommet hjem fra en trcaars lur paa kysten av Amerika. Han var h0i og rank med et 31 a v enrmavrr: afarensarana it awnsmmu V A % 9 3 a! U, 3! a 5i J 111!?!« aapent, vakkcrt ansigt.

Da Knut nogcn maancder senere anholdt om hcndes haand, gav hun ham ikke bare haan- dcn. men helc sin unge, rene og sterke kjarlighet. Den kveld var Margit Strandeidet og Knut Naset de lykkeligste menneskcr i bygden. Men Knut maatte atter ut paa langtur. Ut paa sommeren tok han hyrc ombord i en Bergcnsbaat, som gik i fragtfart mcllcm Liverpool og New York. Frem og tilbakc over Atlantcren farer Knut Nceset. men hans sind og tanker cr hos Margit Strandeidet hjcmmc i Strandvikcn. To lange aar endnu for han kan rcise hjcm. Det gjceldcr at skrape sammcn nogcn penge. Men vent bare, snart skal han sattc fot under cgct bord. Margit gaar hjemme og loengter. To aar er snart hengaat siden Knut var hjemmc. Hun har faat breve fra ham regelmcessig hver to uker. I det sidste brev hun fik fra ham hadde han sagt, at om en par uker vilde han vcere hjemme. Hvor den rene. sterke kjffrlighet la glade ind i hendes hjerte, da hun laste denne efterretning. Tank, snart skulde hun kjende sig omslutted av Knuts sterke arme og hbre hans dype. mandige stcmme, fuld av pmhet og ungdomsvarm kjarlighet! Nogcn uker senere. Det cr sommer og solskin. Fra dc gronne birkelier toner sangfuglencs muntrc trillcr; trostcn skrattcr oppc i det gamle ckctra. og gjokcn spiller sit ku-ku borte i ungpilen. Luftcn er fyldt med duft av klpvcr og nyslaat hoi.

Dc scetlcr sig paa den gamle lange. flate sten og ser ut over havet. Men i Margits blik cr der ikke smerte og svidende langsel langere. Hun har smil i Piet og smil om munden. Nu skal Knut varc hos hende for bestandig — kun doden skal skille dcm ad. Knut lagger sin sterke sjpmandsarm omkring hendes liv og drar hende ind til sig. Hun ser ham ind i pinene og smiler. Slik sitter de der. de to. i den vakre sommerkveld. Timerne lister sig umerket hen den ene efter den anden. Men Knut og Margit blir sittendc. Med drbmmendc blikke iagttar dc solnedgangen. aftenrodcn. solguldet og rosenskjcerct. Det griper deres hjcrter. Dcrcs fplelser blir til sang og toner, men alli- kevel hpres ingen 1yd. Deres kjarlighet er for dyp og ren til at kunne uttales i ord. Morilden brander og lyner mellem stenene nede ved Kobbeodden. Endnu sitter Knut Naset og Margit Strandeidet paa den gamle lange, flate sten ute paa Kobbcbcrget og ser utover havet. Men da den sidste sjomaake har slaat sig til ro ute paa Tcist- holmen, reiser de sig og gaar langsomt hjemover. M. E. HELLAND. They'll pernoti )er so n sovcy syr� c cr iKKe. Vor, tfLUCK fo Jir g Au s I u Set ) K m ii Hiawatha’s Altruism For a long time Henry W. Longfellow revolved in his mind a plan, the consum- mation of which was the supreme desire of his life. This plan was the product of a combination of his patriotic spirit and his love of legendary lore. He wished to leave to posterity an epic about the life of the American Indian which would perpetuate the knowledge of the life and spirit of the original American in the minds of our people. The product of this plan was his masterpiece, Hiawatha. The purpose of the poem, as stated by the poet in the introduction, is to portray Indian life and character, to show wherein the Indians are similar to other human beings in their striving for betterment, and to make known the relation between these people and their gods. I his he does. ' ... in tones so plain and childlike, Scarcely can the ear distinguish Whether they are sung or spoken. The poem is as veracious as any legend of similar character. But absolute veracity is not the poet’s aim, inasmuch as the sources are not historical but legendary. I he poet portrays the life of the Indian with faithful adherence to the truth, although his impres- sions are somewhat at variance with the popular conception. 'I he characters are. on the whole, more true to reality than are the events and deeds which he relates. With extraordinary ingenuity and skill, Longfellow succeeds in combining the historical and the mythical personalities. The environment aids him materially in this. He has placed his characters in a primitive country; a country rich in barbarous Indian legends. The hero, however, does not possess the savage traits usually conceived of in the Indian warrior. His altruism seems to pervade all. Hiawatha was a reformer; not a weak, prating man, of many words and few actions; but an energetic, active and altogether practical philanthropist. The manner in which his coming was heralded is characteristic. At some early period in the history of man, Gitchc Manito, the Master of Life, assembled all the nations and in a long speech admonished them to live more peaceably. As a token of his will he introduced the use of the Pcacepipe. Furthermore he made a promise: I will send a Prophet to you, A Deliverer of nations. Who shall guide you and shall teach you. Who shall toil and suffer with you. If you listen to his counsels. You will multiply and prosper; If his warnings pass unheeded. You will fade away and perish! This was the promise, the prophecy of the advent of Hiawatha, and the exposition of his mission. The story of his birth is analogous to the account of many of the Greek heroes. A beautiful maiden. Wenonah, was idly lolling in a meadow, when Mudjckcewis, the West-Wind, seeing her unusual beauty, wooed and won her. A child was born, the child of promise, Hiawatha. Wenonah being deserted by the faithless West-Wind, died, leaving Hiawatha in the care of her mother. Nokomis. Under her wise and motherly influence the boy grew strong and manly, full of the wisdom of his ciders. His knowledge of Nature was real and universal. All the dwellers in the air and water, and those upon the land became his intimate friends. When Hiawatha reached the age of manhood. Nokomis told him the manner of his birth and disclosed all the infidelity of his father. Immediately his passions were aroused: And his heart was hot within him. Like a living coal his heart was.” He swore revenge—death to Mudjckeewis! But the West-Wind was a god, im- mortal. and withal filled with cunning and deceit. Long and fiercely they fought a run- ning battle with Hiawatha as pursuer—but naught could he do to his father. At last, at the “doorways of the West-Wind Mudjekccwis cried,— Hold! Hold, my son, my Hiawatha, For you cannot kill the immortal. Go back to your home and people. Live among them, toil among them. Cleanse the earth from all that harms it, . . . Thus was Hiawatha informed of his mission, an altruistic mission, a mission of service. But before entering upon his life work, Hiawatha must endure the test of fasting; according to the custom among the savages that young men should fast and pray seven consecutive days in order that they might prosper in life. But Hiawatha’s prayers were not for personal glory:— “Not for triumph in the battle. And renown among the warriors. But for profit of the people. For advantage of the nations. ! .1 venzir — 85 — He looked about him and saw the birds, the animals; easily caught when discov- ered. but at times difficult to find. They were not a dependable source of food; and all his prayers closed with this appeal: Master of Life! Must our lives depend on these things? He wanted some more stable means of subsistence, some food which would not fail his people. His prayer was heard; the gods sent a youth to him. as a blessing to the people. He had come to warn him how by struggle and by labor he could provide the people with food. He said. that, by a decree of the gods. Hiawatha was to wrestle with him, and when he had conquered, as it was forordained that he should, he was to bury him and keep the soil on his grave soft and free from weeds. Three times, on three consecutive nights, he wrestled with the stranger. In the third battle he slew him. He buried him in the manner decreed and kept watch over his grave. Soon a small green feather shot upward, then another and another, and ere long there was a whole field of corn. In the autumn he gathered the ripened ears and presented them to his people, exulting in the knowledge that he had succeeded in providing food for them. T here was another duty which Hiawatha must perform before he would be allowed to return to his father. He must establish peace among the nations. His tribe was con- tinually at war with the Dacotahs. the neighbor on the West. His method in bringing about peace with the tribe was doubly fortunate. It profited him personally as well as his people. For on one of his journeys, he met the daughter of the arrow-maker, who dwelt near the falls of Minnehaha. Their love united the hearts of the Ojibways and the Dacotahs. He spoke to her father in the following beautiful words. After many years of warfare. Many years of strife and bloodshed. There is peace between the Ojibways And the tribe of the Dacotahs. That this peace may last forever. And our hands be clasped more closely And our hearts be more united. Give me as my wife this maiden. Minnehaha. Laughing Water! T hus did he bring peace to his heart and to his people. Both his household and his nation were to be ruled by love and gentleness. We have related how Hiawatha was tested by fasting and fighting. But man is not judged solely by his endurance and valor. It often requires greater strength to restrain from acting, than it does to act. Thus. Hiawatha’s patience was tested severely by a very persistent and intrusive visit paid him by two ghosts, in the semblance of women. He was repeatedly tempted to drive them away, but by exercising extraordinary self- control he succeeded in letting his better nature prevail. He treated his guests with deference and hospitality. Upon leaving they praised him for his remarkable strength and fortitude and implored him to stand firm in the greater trial which they said he was about to endure. This trial was the climax of Hiawatha’s life. Immediately afterward a famine fell upon the people during an unusually severe winter. Many died for lack of sustenance; even among his friends the destroying spirit found several victims. Where was now the corn which had been given to Hiawatha to provide his people against just such an emergency: Where were now his roots and simples ? Why had his Creator forsaken him? This was the supreme test of Hiawatha s mission. If he now was able to rescue his nation from its misery, his life work would be a success. He went out into the forest in quest — 86 — .y - i f- -. . jiiiHrani uiic iniiHiniitimiHiniiiiuiiuinffiHiaimimifiuifniiiiifiiinfiuiutiUiuiiifuniiiHi] iimniiminiimiiiRHiiiiiitBiiniinniuimnniiiifl of game. But he could find nothing. Minnehaha lay at home on her bed, dying for want of food. Ohl why did not Mudjekeewis help him! He prayed aloud, be- seeching and entreating his father to send them succor. His prayer became a veritable command. : • “Give your children food, O father! Give us food, or we must perish!” Here was the crisis. If Gitche Manito would send him food, his mission would be a triumph. If he did not, it would be a failure. He cried repeatedly. Each time that cry of desolation broke die stillness of the forest; it was as the wail of one dying, forsaken by its fellows. “But there came no other answer Than the echo of the woodlands, Minnehaha! Minnehaha! ’ ’ e ■ -- s — 5 S Sr. He had failed! Gitche Manito had deserted hira I Minnehaha would die! Hiawatha’s people would starve I He rushed home, only to find that Minnehaha’s spirit had already departed. ‘ All hope had faded; all faith was extinguished in the heart of Hiawatha. He ran out and “uttered such a cry of anguish, that the forest moaned and shuddered.” What was there now to live for? His love lay dead, gone, to return no more. “ ‘Farewell!’ said he, ‘Minnehaha! Farewell, O my Laughing Water! All my heart is buried with you. All my thoughts go onward with you! Come not back again and labor. Come not back again to suffer, WTiere the Famine and the Fever Wear the heart and waste the body. Soon my task will be completed, Soon your footsteps I shall follow To the Islands of the Blessed, To the Kingdom of Ponemah, To the Land of the Hereafter!’ ” a % a 1 siisrfflBiflfflBeiiinffi raBffianfliROBUUHnmtiitffiiiaiiHiBUiBiitflntiiiniHimiifmiiiiitiiuiiUHiiiuiittiuuiuiitBiiiiiiHiiuumiiitimmiuiinii — 87 — __ I iiiuiniiitwiiiwtiQiiitniiniBiiiJiniiii OLD MAIN.

Wenaas was the first president. In 1872 the school was moved to Minneapolis. Minn., where it still is. The Seminary was founded in order to provide education for men who wished to enter the ministry of preaching the gospel in the Lutheran church among Norwegians settled in America. Augsburg Seminar)' has three departments—a theological, a col- lege and a preparatory department. The theological department aims to give young men duly qualified a three year’s course in theology in order to fit them to be pastors in free Lutheran congregations. The college department, through a full college course, seeks to give a fitting preparation for a fruitful study of theology. Besides this course is so arranged that it gives a college education also to such as do not intend to enter the Christian ministry, but who wish to receive their college training under the influence of Christian truth. The preparatory department corresponds to a high school course and while giving a regular high school course, it seeks to instil Chris- tian principles and spirit into the minds and hearts of the students. Augsburg Seminary is 46 years old. From the theological department there have been graduated 393 young men with the degree candidatus theologiae; and from the col- lege department 247 young men with the degree B. A.

Helen, the most beautiful woman of the age. was abducted by Paris, son of the King of Troy. The Greeks, maddened by this outrage, besieged Troy for ten years. They despaired of success until, through the craftiness of Ulyssus, entrance to the city was gained through the stratagem of the wooden horse. This was fatal to the I rojans and I roy was left in ashes, utterly destroyed. And now. centuries later, the stratagem of the wooden horse is being worked just the same as in the dim and misty past. Beware the wooden horse of ordinary coal; avoid the wastefulness of ineffi- cient fuel. Pittsburgh’s Pittston. the guaranteed hard coal, comes to you under no disguise nor stratagem. It is absolutely guaranteed. It is efficient. It costs no more than the wooden horse kind. You take no risk when you buy Pittsburgh’s Pittston. Delivered anywhere, any- time. blizzard, rain or shine.

HOLTER PUBLISHING COMPANY, Scandinavian Immigrants IN NEW YORK 1630—1674 WITH APPENDICES ON SCANDINAVIANS IN MEXICO AND SOUTH AMERICA. 1532-1640 SCANDINAVIANS IN CANADA. 1619-1620 SOME SCANDINAVIANS IN NEW YORK IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY GERMAN IMMIGRANTS IN NEW YORK. 1630-1674 BY JOHN O. EVJEN, Ph. D. (LEIPZIG) PROFESSOR OF ClIltRCII HISTORY IN AUOSBURO (THEOLOGICA!.) SEMINARY, MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. Extracts from Reviews of the Book: Minneapolis Tribune: Practically nothing has been known concerning the Scandina- vians who emigrated to this country as early as 1630, with the exception of the col- ony of Swedes, who settled in New Sweden. . . . It has been taken for granted by stu- dents of history, as well as the layman, that the settlers of New York at this time were Dutch, when, as a matter of fact, large num- bers of those “Dutch” were Norwegians, Danes and Swedes. Realizing the dearth of material regarding these Scandinavian pio- neers. Prof. Evjen took upon himself the stupendous task of collecting data on the subject from primary sources and has pro- duced “Scandinavian Immigrants in New York, 1630-1674.” . . The book is important in that it is the only work which has at- tempted to deal with the life and occupa- tion of those New Netherland Scandina- vians. or in fact the only volume which has even listed their names. . . Some very inter- esting side lights are given on the life of the early inhabitants, especially on the laws of that time because naturally one of the most important sources of information was the old legal records.” Minneapolis Journal: “Dr. Evjen has thor- oughly ransacked the old records of the Dutch colony that settled in New York be- tween 1630 and 1674. He has succeeded in giving the names of the 17th century new- comers from Scandinavia and a good deal about their careers in the Dutch colony. He gives verbatim many excerpts from the court and other records, together with re- productions and important documents. . . . Many curious facts have been exhumed in this book . . ., the result of seven years of research. . . . The book will be of great in- terest to Americans of Scandinavian birth.” Minneapolis Tidende: Det er et stort stvkke, som Dr. Evjen i dette vaerk . . . liar lagt til skandinaverncs historic i Arne- rika. I denne bog foreligger resultaterne af syv aars ihaerdig granskning og kritisk be- arbeidelse af fdrstehaands kildor. . . Dr. Evjen bar lagt store strsekninger til feltct. Han paaviser, at efterkommere af dc na;stcn 200 skandinaviske indvandrere i det 17dc aarhundreder tilhdrer bekjendte familier, hvis grene strtekker sig over hele de For- node Stater. . . . Skandinavernes indflydelse gjorde sig gjaddende paa forskjellige maa- der i den hollandskc koloni. Dr. Evjen paa- viser saaledes, hvordan arkitekturen del vis skrev sig fra Skandinavicn og liar i bogen tegninger af huse bygget af skandinaviske indvandrere i det 17de aarhundrede. Bogen indeholder en ra kke illustrationer, faksimi- — 106 — 416 EIGHTH AVENUE SOUTH, MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. ler af kolonisternes underskrifter og gamle dokumenter, billeder af kolonien og forskjel- lige af dens huso, notable personor, barter, osv.’ ’ Decorah-Posten: “Vi vidste . . at naar Dr. Evjcn tog sig paa et sligt arbeidc, saa bavde vi al mulig garanti for, at dot vilde bli grundig og samvittigliedsfuldt gjort, for Evjcn or bekjendt iblanat os som on dygtig l’orsker, on af disse, som, naar ban gir sig i kast mod on opgavc, ikke slipper den paa Iialvveien, men frtrer don from til resultator, som or videnskabelig og litera‘rt tilfrcds- stillondo. . . . Naar derfor nu bogen forclig- ger og viscr sig at viere alt, vi havde ven- tet og vistnok ondda mer, saa liar vi alt saa bare et nyt vidnesbyrd om, hvilket fast tag forfattcren har paa de omner, ban tar for sig. mod bvilken Hid og omhyggeligbed ban arbeidcr, og bvormeget ban kan fna udrct- tet.

Og- saa deraf vil man forstaa. at det er on bc- tydelig ma-ngdc stof, som ber er samlet og tilrcttelagt . . . Det er on kostbar affeere at forehegge et verk som Dr. Evjens, og det vilde vajre en skam, om ikke «Ion lrcrde for- fatters arbeide fik en god modtagclse. ’ Prof. A. A. Vcblen, i Samband: “Det er en stor fornpielse at anmelde dette prsegtige og bctydningsfulde verk. bvilket er resul- tatet af svv aars llittig vitenskapelig granskning. . . Feltet er nyt. og Prof. Ev- jen baddc en stor opgavc, nemlig ikke blot at gjenncmgaa alle mulige kilder, men, Jivad var af strtrste vigtigbed. at finde disse kil- der. Og begge dele af opgaven bar ban ldst paa en maade som endog den almindc- lige heser kan vnrdere oftersom ban op- merksom gjennemla-ser boken og, saa at si, folger forfattcren paa bans interessantc opdagclsesfasrd. . .

Efter biografierne . . . fdlger et “ retrospekt ’ ’, et meget interessant og bererikt overblik over dette tidligc kapitel i nordboernes del i Amcrikas bcbyggclsc. En ting man is� r herer i denne bok er, bvormeget landet skylder disse indvandrcrc, og livor indily- deisesrike, talrikc og frcmskudte de fnmi- lier og personer er og bar vajrot, som stam- mer fra dem. Boken er vakkert udstyret, og utgiverne bar indlagt sig stor fortjencste for det solide og pnegtige verk. Der er en rikdom af vel udfdrtc illustratdoner”, osv. (Fra en anmeldelsc paa 3 sider.) Den Danske Pioneer (Omaha): “Et bpist interessant og overordentligt vajrdifuldt va rk. . .. en kildesamling, der vil staa som et monument i den skandinavisk-amerikan- ske bistorieforskning, faktisk det f0rstc va rk om de nordiske indvandrere i Amerika, tier tilfredsstiller den moderne videnskabs strenge krav om kun at benyttc de oprin- tlelige kilder: kirkebdgor, rctsdokumenter, eiendomsinventarier, bvraadsprotokoller, bre- ve. skibslister og lignendc samtidige origi- nablokumenter. . .
